    Notes: Summary The actin gene family of the marine molluscPatella vulgata was chosen as a model system to study the regulation of genes expressed during early development in molluscs. Using a hamster actin cDNA clone as a probe, we isolated nine actin cDNA clones from trochophore larvae. The total nucleic acid sequence of three of these clones has been determined. Each clone contains the whole protein encoding region. The deduced amino acid sequences resemble actin proteins from other species to a high extent. The nucleotide sequence from the 3′UTR (UnTranslated Region) and 5′UTR from all nine clones has been resolved. In this way we could identify four different subtypes. Southern blots with genomic DNA were probed with different 3′UTR's corresponding to each subtype to determine the genomic organization. One 3′UTR detected one band probably corresponding with one gene. Another 3′UTR detected one or two genes and the third 3′UTR between two and four genes. Northern blots were used to detect the presence of actin mRNA during different stages of development. In the mature oocyte, actin mRNA is present in low amounts. The level of actin mRNA starts to rise steadily from 8 h after fertilization (88-cell stage) onwards. The level of the different subtype mRNAs, as specified by their 3′UTR rises at different developmental stages and to various extents. This indicates that the expression of each type is regulated independently and in relation to the developmental stage of the embryo.

    Carbon-13 NMR studies of the lysine side chains of calmodulin and its proteolytic fragments (1993)

    Notes: Abstract ThepH-titration and dynamic behaviour of the seven lysine side chains in bovine calmodulin were studied by carbon-13 NMR. The amino groups of the calcium saturated protein and its proteolytic fragments TR1C(1–75) and TR2C (78–148) were dimethylated with carbon-13 labeled formaldehyde; this modification did not alter the protein's structure or its ability to activate the enzyme cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. Tentative assignments for 5 out of the 7 dimethyl lysine resonances could be obtained by comparing spectra of the fully and partially modified protein, with those of the proteolytic fragments. ThepKa values measured for calcium saturated calmodulin ranged between 9.5 (Lys 75) and 10.2 (Lys 13); two residues (Lys 94 and Lys 13) showed a biphasic titration curve suggesting their possible involvement in ion-pairs. The dynamic behavior of the lysine side chains was deduced from spin lattice relaxation measurements. All side chains were flexible and this was not influenced by the removal of calcium, or the addition of the calmodulin antagonist trifluoperazine. The latter data suggest that the lysine side chains are not directly involved in calmodulin's target binding sites.

    Reductive methylation andpKa determination of the lysine side chains in calbindin D9k (1994)

    Notes: Abstract The Lys residues in the 75-residue Ca2+-binding protein calbindin D9k were reductively methylated with13C-enriched formaldehyde. The possible structural effects resulting from the chemical modification were critically investigated by comparing two-dimensional NMR spectra and the exchange rates of some of the amide protons of the native and the modified protein. Our results show that the protein retains its structure even though 10 Lys out of a total of 75 amino acid residues were modified. In the Ca2+- and apo-forms of the protein, the13C-methylated Lys residues can be detected with high sensitivity and resolution using two-dimensional (1H,13C)-heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence (HMQC) NMR spectroscopy. ThepKa values of the individual Lys residues in Ca2+-calbindin D9k and apo-calbindin D9k were obtained by combiningpH titration experiments and (1H,13C)-HMQC NMR spectroscopy. Each Lys residue in the Ca2+- and apo-forms of calbindin D9k has a uniquepKa value. The LyspKa values in the calcium protein range from 9.3 to 10.9, while those in the apo-protein vary between 9.7 and 10.7. Although apo-calbindin D9k has a very similar structure compared to Ca2+-calbindin D9k, the removal of two Ca2+ ions from the protein leads to an increase of thepKa values of the Lys residues.

    Environmental stress-mediated differential 3′ end formation of chloroplast RNA-binding protein transcripts (1994)

    Notes: Abstract We report the characterization of transcripts from the halophyte, Mesembryanthemum crystallinum, encoding a protein with high homology to chloroplast RNA-binding proteins (cRBP). In this plant chloroplast-related functions are largely protected against salt stress. cRBP transcripts are derived from a single gene, Mc32crbp, although three size classes of polyadenylated mRNAs are detected. Transcription rate and steady state amounts of mRNA are developmentally regulated and light controlled with strong transcriptional activity as functional chloroplasts are established, and with lower maintenance activity thereafter. Upon salt stress, the rate of transcription decreases, although transcript levels increase. Accompanying stress, a change in the distribution of transcript size classes is observed as the longest transcript with an untranslated 3′ end of 381 nucleotides increases relative to transcripts with shorter 3′ ends. The long transcript is characterized by the presence of five sequence elements in the 3′-untranslated region that are present in cRBP mRNAs from a variety of plants, although not all elements are found in each mRNA. The results may indicate a mechanism by which mRNA levels of constitutively light-regulated genes may be modulated without enhanced transcription in response to environmental cues.

    Phosphoribulokinase from ice plant: Transcription, transcripts and protein expression during environmental stress (1992)

    Notes: Abstract The expression of PRK (phosphoribulokinase, E.C.2.7.1.19) in ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum) during development and under environmental stress was studied. cDNA clones were isolated and full-length cDNAs were characterized. Ice plant PRK is contained in a 1520 nucleotide transcript including a 126 nucleotide leader sequence, a 175 nucleotide 3′-end and a 20–30 nucleotide polyA+-stretch. The coding region, 397 codons, specifies a protein of Mr 44 064. The mature sequence is preceded by a transit peptide of approximately 46 amino acids. The mature portion of ice plant PRK is 86.4% identical to that of spinach and, e.g., 16.2% identical to PRK from Xanthomonas flavus. Under salt stress or cold adaptation conditions, the amount of mRNA declined by a factor of approximately three within days, followed by an increase to approximately pre-stress levels. The fluctuation in mRNA amount is not reflected on the level of transcription of the gene, suggesting post-transcriptional control, nor is PRK protein amount affected significantly over the short stress period. The recovery of transcript levels for photosynthesis-related proteins after stress appears to be a general response to environmental stresses that affect water status in ice plant. We suggest that the photosynthetic machinery in this facultative halophyte is effectively buffered from damage caused by such environmental stress.
