Cell-cycle-regulated translation of histone mRNA in Physarum plasmodia.

چکیده
In Physarum polycephalum, histone mRNA begins to accumulate 3 h before the S phase. We show that histone synthesis was limited to the S phase and that the mRNA that accumulated in the G2-phase cytoplasm could be translated in vitro. Thus, recruitment of stored mature histone mRNA did not occur until the S phase began.

Transcription of a-Tubulin and Histone H4 Genes Begins at the Same Point in the Physarum Cell Cycle
In naturally synchronous plasmodia of Physarum polycephalum, both tubulin and histone gene transcription define periodic cell cycle-regulated events. Using a slot-blot hybridization assay and Northern blot analysis, we have demonstrated that a major peak of accumulation of both a-tubulin and histone H4 transcripts occurs in late G2 phase. Nuclear transcription assays indicate that both genes ar...

متن کاملCell type-dependent expression of tubulins in Physarum
Three alpha-tubulins and two beta-tubulins have been resolved by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of whole cell lysates of Physarum myxamoebae or plasmodia. Criteria used to identify the tubulins included migration on two-dimensional gels with myxamoebal tubulins purified by self-assembly into microtubules in vitro, peptide mapping with Staphylococcus V8 protease and with chymotrypsin, immun...
متن کاملStem-loop binding protein, the protein that binds the 3' end of histone mRNA, is cell cycle regulated by both translational and posttranslational mechanisms.
The expression of the replication-dependent histone mRNAs is tightly regulated during the cell cycle. As cells progress from G(1) to S phase, histone mRNA levels increase 35-fold, and they decrease again during G(2) phase. Replication-dependent histone mRNAs are the only metazoan mRNAs that lack polyadenylated tails, ending instead in a conserved stem-loop. Much of the cell cycle regulation is ...
متن کاملCell cycle regulation of p34kinase activity in Physarum polycephalum
The regulation of the mitotic histone HI kinase activity has been analyzed during the naturally synchronous cell cycle of Physanun polycephalum plasmodia. The universal binding property of the pl3 Schizosaccharomyces pombe gene product was used to precipitate and assay the cdc2 histone HI kinase activity. The kinase activity peaks at the beginning of metaphase and its decline, which requires pr...
