5'-Hydroxyl polyribonucleotide kinase from HeLa cell nuclei. Purification and properties.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An enzyme, 5'-hydroxyl polyribonucleotide kinase, which catalyzes the phosphorylation of 5'-hydroxyl ends of RNA in the presence of ATP, has been isolated from extracts of HeLa cell nuclei. The kinase requires a divalent cation (Mg2+ or Mn2+) for activity, has an alkaline pH optimum, and is sensitive to the sulfhydryl antagonist N-ethylmaleimide. 5'-hydroxyl terminated polydeoxyribonucleotides are phosphorylated much less efficiently than the 5'-hydroxyl terminated polyribonucleotides, and the kinase preparation is inactive on ribonucleoside 3'-monophosphates. Enzyme activity is inhibited by ADP and by pyrophosphate. The sedimentation coefficient of the kinase is estimated to be 5.6 S from glycerol gradient centrifugation.

An enzyme, 5’-hydroxyl polyribonucleotide kinase, which catalyzes the phosphorylation of 5’-hydroxyl ends of RNA in the presence of ATP, has been isolated from extracts of HeLa cell nuclei. The kinase requires a divalent cation (Mg’+ or Mn’+) for activity, has an alkaline pH optimum, and is sensitive to the sulfhydryl antagonist N-ethylmaleimide. 5’-Hydroxyl terminated polydeoxyribonucleotides ...
متن کاملNature of a polynucleotide required for polyribonucleotide formation from adenosine triphosphate with an enzyme from thymus nuclei.
Two enzymes, each specific for the polymerization of single nucleoside triphosphates into polynucleotides, have been purified from extracts of calf thymus nuclei. The purification and properties of an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) polymerasel have been described (l), and a brief description of the properties of a purified cytidine triphosphate polymerase has appeared (2). The activity of each of...
متن کاملMultiple forms of the human gene-specific transcription factor USF. I. Complete purification and identification of USF from HeLa cell nuclei.
The human gene-specific upstream stimulatory transcription factor (USF) is required, both in vivo and in vitro, for maximal expression of the major late promoter (MLP) of adenovirus. We report here the complete purification and identification of USF from HeLa cell nuclei. The protein was followed throughout its purification using a quantitative filter binding assay. With a combination of classi...
متن کاملEnzymatic conversion of 5'-phosphate-terminated RNA to 5'-di- and triphosphate-terminated RNA.
We have isolated from vaccinia virus cores an enzyme, 5'-phosphate-polyribonucleotide kinase, that in the presence of ATP and Mg2+ catalyzes the conversion of 5'-phosphate and 5'-diphosphate termini of RNA to the 5'-triphosphate species. With the exception of dATP, other nucleoside triphosphates were inactive as phosphate donors; activity with dATP was 10% of that observed with ATP. The purifie...
متن کاملPurification and Characterization of an Endoribonuclease from Nucleoplasm and Nucleoli of HeLa Cells*
An endoribonuclease has been isolated from HeLa cell nuclei. Approximately 70% of the enzyme appears to be nucleolar bound; 30% is in the nucleoplasm. Studies of the purified enzyme reveal that the enzyme is an endonuclease of estimated molecular weight 16,000. It produces oligonucleotides bearing 5’-phosphate end groups. The enzyme degrades poly(C) and poly(U), as well as rRNA and heterogeneou...
