Isolation of the messenger RNA for 8S DNA ligase in early developing axolotl egg and its cell free translation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new DNA ligase activity is expressed when the Axolotl eggs enter cleavage. The messenger RNA can be labelled by [3H] uridine thereby indicating its de novo synthesis. This new genetic expression is occurring just before cleavage and is the earliest found during Amphibian development. The newly synthesized [3H] mRNA can be translated in vitro in the rabbit reticulocyte lysate system. The resulting product is a 160 K protein specifically immunoprecipitated with the antiserum directed against 8S DNA ligase. This in vitro translated polypeptide exhibits 8S DNA ligase activity specific of activated or fertilized eggs but does not display 6S DNA ligase activity of non activated eggs.

Reinvestigation of DNA ligase I in axolotl and Pleurodeles development.
We have recently shown that the exclusion process causing the replacement of DNA ligases II by DNA ligase I in amphibian eggs after fertilization does not occur in the case of Xenopus laevis [Hardy, S., Aoufouchi, S., Thiebaud, P., and Prigent, C., (1991) Nucleic Acids Res. 19, 701-705]. Since this result is in contradiction with the situation reported in axolotl and Pleurodeles we decided to r...
متن کاملControl of DNA ligase molecular forms in nucleocytoplasmic combinations of axolotl and Pleurodeles.
A light form of DNA ligase (EC 6.5.1.2), the only form present in oocytes of the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), has been shown to be replaced by a heavy form of the enzyme when the egg enters cleavage. This early biochemical event has been assumed to rely on direct nuclear input. Sucrose gradient analysis permits discrimination between enzymes from axolotl and the sharp-ribbed salamander (Pleur...
متن کاملO-45: Quantification of Cell-Free-Fetal-DNAfrom Maternal Plasma for the First Time in Pakistan:Implications for Non-Invasive PrenatalDiagnosis of Genetic Disorders
Background: Current prenatal diagnosis requires invasive testing which carries a 1-4% procedure-related-risk of miscarriage; hence, non-invasive techniques are desired. The recent demonstration of cell-free-fetal-DNA enriched from maternal plasma has opened new possibilities for non-invasive-prenatal-diagnosis of not only genetic-disorders such as β-thalassaemia and haemophilia but also chromos...

متن کاملIn vitro Expression Studies of Three Proteins of Iranian Wheat Stripe Virus
The genome of Iranian wheat stripe virus (IWSV), a tentative member of the genus Tenuivirus, is comprised of three ambisense and one negative sense RNA segments. The coat and non-structural proteins encoded by the vcRNA3 and vRNA4 genes, respectively, were efficiently translated in vitro. Translated proteins of vcRNA3 and vRNA4 transcripts were approximately 35000 and 22000 in Mr, respectively,...
