Ribonucleases with antitumor activity are mainly found in the oocytes and embryos of frogs, but the role of these ribonucleases in frog development is not clear. Moreover, most frog ribonuclease genes have not been cloned and characterized. In the present study, a group of ribonucleases were isolated from Rana catesbeiana (bullfrog). These ribonucleases in mature oocytes, namely RC-RNase, RC-RNase 2, RC-RNase 3, RC-RNase 4, RC-RNase 5 and RC-RNase 6, as well as liver-specific ribonuclease RC-RNase L1, were purified by column chromatographs and detected by zymogram assay and western blotting. Characterization of these purified ribonucleases revealed that they were highly conserved in amino acid sequence and had a pyroglutamate residue at their N-termini, but possessed different specific activities, base specificities and optimal pH values for their activities. These ribonucleases were cytotoxic to cervical carcinoma HeLa cells, but their cytotoxicities were not closely correlated to their enzymatic specific activities. Some other amino acid residues in addition to their catalytic residues were implicated to be involved in the cytotoxicity of the frog ribonucleases to tumor cells. Because the coding regions lack introns, the ribonuclease genes were cloned by PCR using genomic DNA as template. Their DNA sequences and amino acid sequences are homologous to those of mammalian ribonuclease superfamily, approximately 50 and approximately 25%, respectively.

A family of developmentally excised DNA elements in Tetrahymena is under selective pressure to maintain an open reading frame encoding an integrase-like protein.

Gershan JA, Karrer KM.

Department of Biology, Marquette University, Milwaukee, WI 53201-1881, USA.

Tlr1 is a member of a family of approximately 20-30 DNA elements that undergo developmentally regulated excision during formation of the macronucleus in the ciliated protozoan TETRAHYMENA: Analysis of sequence internal to the right boundary of Tlr1 revealed the presence of a 2 kb open reading frame (ORF) encoding a deduced protein with similarity to retrotransposon integrases. The ORFs of five unique clones were sequenced. The ORFs have 98% sequence conservation and align without frameshifts, although one has an additional trinucleotide at codon 561. Nucleotide changes among the five clones are highly non-random with respect to the position in the codon and 93% of the nucleotide changes among the five clones encode identical or similar amino acids, suggesting that the ORF has evolved under selective pressure to preserve a functional protein. Nineteen T/C transitions in T/CAA and T/CAG codons suggest selection has occurred in the context of the TETRAHYMENA: genome, where TAA and TAG encode Gln. Similarities between the ORF and those encoding retrotransposon integrases suggest that the Tlr family of elements may encode a polynucleotide transferase. Possible roles for the protein in transposition of the elements within the micronuclear genome and/or their developmentally regulated excision from the macronucleus are discussed.

Secondary structure prediction and in vitro accessibility of mRNA as tools in the selection of target sites for ribozymes.

We have investigated the relative merits of two commonly used methods for target site selection for ribozymes: secondary structure prediction (MFold program) and in vitro accessibility assays. A total of eight methylated ribozymes with DNA arms were synthesized and analyzed in a transient co-transfection assay in HeLa cells. Residual expression levels ranging from 23 to 72% were obtained with anti-PSKH1 ribozymes compared to cells transfected with an irrelevant control ribozyme. Ribozyme efficacy depended on both ribozyme concentration and the steady state expression levels of the target mRNA. Allylated ribozymes against a subset of the target sites generally displayed poorer efficacy than their methylated counterparts. This effect appeared to be influenced by in vivo accessibility of the target site. Ribozymes designed on the basis of either selection method displayed a wide range of efficacies with no significant differences in the average activities of the two groups of ribozymes. While in vitro accessibility assays had limited predictive power, there was a significant correlation between certain features of the predicted secondary structure of the target sequence and the efficacy of the corresponding ribozyme. Specifically, ribozyme efficacy appeared to be positively correlated with the presence of short stem regions and helices of low stability within their target sequences. There were no correlations with predicted free energy or loop length.

Conformation of oligodeoxynucleotides associated with anionic liposomes.

Patil SD, Rhodes DG.

There has been significant progress in the development of antisense therapeutics for a wide range of medicinal applications. Further improvement will require better understanding of cellular internalization, intracellular distribution mechanisms and interactions of oligodeoxynucleotides with cellular organelles. In many of these processes interactions of oligodeoxynucleotides with lipid assemblies may have a significant influence on their function. Divalent cations have been shown to assist cellular internalization of certain oligodeoxynucleotides and to affect their conformation. In this work we have investigated conformational changes of phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides upon divalent cation-mediated interaction with 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylglycerol (DPPG) liposomes. For the sequences investigated here the native conformation underwent significant change in the presence of anionic DPPG liposomes only when divalent cations were present. This change is sequence-specific, ion-selective and distinct from previously reported changes in oligodeoxynucleotide structure due to divalent cations alone. The conformation of one oligodeoxynucleotide in the presence of calcium and DPPG yields circular dichroism spectra which suggest C-DNA but which also have characteristics unlike any previously reported spectra of liposome-associated DNA structure. The data suggest the possibility of a unique conformation of liposome-associated ODNs and reflect a surprisingly strong tendency of single-stranded DNA to retain a characteristic conformation even when adsorbed to a surface. This conformation may be related to cellular uptake, transport of oligodeoxynucleotides in cells and/or function.

Stabilization of the U5-leader stem in the HIV-1 RNA genome affects initiation and elongation of reverse transcription.

Reverse transcription of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus type I (HIV-1) RNA genome is primed by a cellular tRNA-lys3 molecule that binds to the primer binding site (PBS). The PBS is predicted to be part of an extended RNA structure, consisting of a small U5-PBS hairpin and a large U5-leader stem. In this study we stabilized the U5-leader stem of HIV-1 to study its role in reverse transcription. We tested in vitro synthesized wild-type and mutant templates in primer annealing, initiation and elongation assays. Stabilization of the stem inhibits the initiation of reverse transcription, but not the annealing of the tRNA primer onto the PBS. These results suggest that stabilization of the stem results in occlusion of a sequence motif that is involved in an additional interaction with the tRNA-lys3 primer and that is needed to trigger the initiation of reverse transcription. The stable structure was also found to affect the elongation of reverse transcription, causing the RT enzyme to pause upon copying 7-8 bases into the extended base paired stem. The stabilizing mutations were also introduced into proviral constructs for replication studies, demonstrating that the mutant viruses have a reduced replication capacity. Analysis of a revertant virus demonstrated that opening of the stabilized U5-leader stem can restore both virus replication and reverse transcription.

Hair loss is genetically influenced, but it is always difficult to predict. Overall, more than 50% of US men suffer hair loss by their age of 45. Men are more likely to lose hair than women. Hair Million offers an alternative solution to hair loss problems. Anecdotal evidence and personal experiences indicate the efficacy of this herbal blend in improveming age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a number of people who take it. The mechanism of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth is totally unknown. It is only known by anecdotal observations. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis on the efficacy of Hair Million on hair loss and hair growth. Propecia is a clinically tested drug for the purpose of reversing hair loss.
