Efficient translation of tobacco mosaic virus RNA and rabbit globin 9S RNA in a cell-free system from commercial wheat germ.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extracts prepared from commercially available wheat germ efficiently translate messenger RNAs from either viral or eukaryotic origin. The addition of tobacco mosaic virus RNA stimulated amino-acid incorporation more than 100-times and rabbit globin 9S RNA between 20- and 30-times. The in vitro product directed by globin 9S RNA comigrated precisely with authentic rabbit globin on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. Furthermore, during high voltage ionophoresis two [(35)S]methionine-labeled tryptic peptides synthesized in vitro comigrated in two dimensions with alphaT5 and betaT5 tryptic peptides from authentic [(35)S]methionine-labeled rabbit globin.

Importance of 5'-terminal blocking structure to stabilize mRNA in eukaryotic protein synthesis.
The 7-methylguanylic acid residue confronting the 5'-terminal nucleotide of mRNA through two pyrophosphate linkages was completely removed by tobacco pyrophosphatase from mRNAs of cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus, tobacco mosaic virus (viral RNA), and globin without any scission in the inner part of the RNA chain. Protein synthesis ability in a wheat germ cell-free system was lost after this trea...
متن کاملCharacterization of wheat germ protein synthesis initiation factor eIF-4C and comparison of eIF-4C from wheat germ and rabbit reticulocytes.
Eukaryotic protein synthesis initiation factor (eIF)-4C was purified from wheat germ and the molecular weight was calculated to be approximately 19,000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A similar molecular weight was determined by gel filtration chromatography indicating that wheat germ eIF-4C is functional as a single polypeptide chain. An efficient in vitro translation system depende...
متن کاملRequirement for 7-methylguanosine in translation of globin mRNA in vivo.
The 7-methylguanosine (m7G) residue present in the m7G5' ppp5'X-"CAP" structure of rabbit globin mRNA was removed quantitatively by periodate oxidation followed by beta-elimination in the presence of cyclohexylamine. The RNA thus treated was intact and exhibited no signs of degradation as examined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in formamide. Assay for protein synthesis using a wheat germ...
متن کاملInhibition of initiation of protein synthesis by 7-methylguanosine-5'-monophosphate.
Translation of rabbit globin mRNA in a wheat germ protein-synthesizing system is inhibited by the nucleotide 7-methylguanosine-5'-monophosphate (m7G5'p) but not by other guanosine nucleotides without the 7-methyl group or with the phosphate in a different position. Translation of RNA of tobacco mosaic virus and poly(A) + HeLa RNA is also inhibited by m7G5'p. We show that m7G5'p prevents the ass...

Antisera were raised against P3 (mol. wt. 32 000), the full-length translation product of alfalfa mosaic virus (A1MV) RNA 3. P3 was made by translation in wheat germ extracts, using unfractionated AlMV RNA as message, and the products were then fractionated either by centrifugation through a sucrose gradient, or by phosphocellulose chromatography, each technique being followed by SDS-PAGE. Prep...
