Interferon effect on ribosomal ribonucleic acid related to chromosome 21 ploidy.

ABSTRACT: Antiviral and cell-growth-inhibitory activities of human interferon were shown to be related to the activity of a gene or genes present on chromosome 21. The 18s rRNA is vital to cell growth; it is capable of a viral-mRNA-recognition function and it is coded for by genes a portion of which are present on chromosome-21. A previously reported ability of human interferon to affect rRNA metabolism is characterized by a decrease in the sucrose-gradient-peak ratio of radiolabelled 28S to 18S rRNA in extracts from the cytoplasm of interferon-treated human fibroblasts. In the present report, interferon dose-response curves are presented demonstrating a direct relationship between a decrease in this ratio and interferon concentrations in the media. By using this virus-independent cytoplasmic rRNA assay, eight human fibroblast lines, differing in chromosome 21 ploidy, were tested for sensitivity to human interferon. Two monosomy-21, two euploid-21 and four trisomy-21 cell lines were tested. The monosomy-21 cell populations were significantly less sensitive to interferon than the other six cell types tested. Of the cell lines tested, the most sensitive, by a wide margin, was a trisomy-21 line. Trisomy-21 cell monolayer sensitivity, however, varied widely within the range from normal to supersensitive. These observations suggest that interferon's ability to affect rRNA metabolism is related to the activity of a gene or genes present on chromosome 21.

The Effect of Topical Anesthetics on 16S Ribosomal Ribonucleic Acid Amplicon Sequencing Results in Ocular Surface Microbiome Research.

Project description:PurposeTo clarify the short-term effect of topical anesthetics on 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid amplicon sequencing results in ocular surface microbiome research.MethodsBoth eyes of 24 eligible volunteers undergoing general anesthesia were sampled. Before sampling, a drop of artificial tears or a drop of topical anesthetic was applied in a randomized way. By using artificial tears as a control, we assured blinding of the executer and took a potential diluting effect into account. Bacterial DNA was extracted using the QIAGEN RNeasy PowerMicrobiome Kit with specific adaptations. Amplified DNA was sequenced with the Illumina MiSeq sequencing platform.ResultsFour sample pairs were excluded due to low yield of bacterial DNA. In the remaining 20 sample pairs, no differences were observed with topical anesthetics at the levels of amplicon sequence variants (ASVs), phylum, genera, or alpha and beta diversity. Weighted UniFrac distance confirmed that the intraindividual distance between the right and left eye was smaller than the effect of the topical anesthetic. Interestingly, however, we identified Cutibacterium as a potential discriminative biomarker for topical anesthetic use. Overall, a significantly higher number of observed reads were assigned to genera with Gram-positive characteristics.ConclusionsBased on our targeted, double-blinded, within-subject study, topical anesthetics do not affect the overall sequencing results but display a specific effect on Cutibacterium. When comparing research results, the impact of topical anesthetics on prevalence and abundance of Cutibacterium should be considered.Translational relevanceUnderstanding and standardization of sampling techniques are indispensable to properly execute clinical microbiome research.

Ribosomal ribonucleic acid and ribosomal precursor ribonucleic acid in Anacystis nidulans.

Project description:The RNA of the blue-green alga Anacystis nidulans contains three ribosomal RNA species with molecular weights of 0.56x10(6), 0.9x10(6), and 1.1x10(6) if the RNA is extracted in the absence of Mg(2+). The 0.9x10(6)mol.wt. rRNA is extremely slowly labelled in (32)P-incorporation experiments. This rRNA may be a cleavage product of the 1.1x10(6)mol.wt. rRNA from the ribosomes of cells in certain physiological states (e.g. light-deficiency during growth). The cleavage of the 1.1x10(6)mol.wt. rRNA during the extraction procedure can be prevented by the addition of 10mm-MgCl(2). (32)P-pulse-labelling studies demonstrate the rapid synthesis of two ribosomal precursor RNA species. One precursor RNA migrating slightly slower than the 1.1x10(6)mol.wt. rRNA appears much less stable than the other precursor RNA, which shows the electrophoretic behaviour of the 0.7x10(6)mol.wt. rRNA. Our observations support the close relationship between bacteria and blue-green algae also with respect to rRNA maturation. The conversion of the ribosomal precursor RNA species into 0.56x10(6)- and 1.1x10(6)-mol.wt. rRNA species requires Mg(2+) in the incubation medium.

NCResNet: Noncoding Ribonucleic Acid Prediction Based on a Deep Resident Network of Ribonucleic Acid Sequences.

Project description:Noncoding RNA (ncRNA) is a kind of RNA that plays an important role in many biological processes, diseases, and cancers, while cannot translate into proteins. With the development of next-generation sequence technology, thousands of novel RNAs with long open reading frames (ORFs, longest ORF length > 303 nt) and short ORFs (longest ORF length ≤ 303 nt) have been discovered in a short time. How to identify ncRNAs more precisely from novel unannotated RNAs is an important step for RNA functional analysis, RNA regulation, etc. However, most previous methods only utilize the information of sequence features. Meanwhile, most of them have focused on long-ORF RNA sequences, but not adapted to short-ORF RNA sequences. In this paper, we propose a new reliable method called NCResNet. NCResNet employs 57 hybrid features of four categories as inputs, including sequence, protein, RNA structure, and RNA physicochemical properties, and introduces feature enhancement and deep feature learning policies in a neural net model to adapt to this problem. The experiments on benchmark datasets of 8 species shows NCResNet has higher accuracy and higher Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) compared with other state-of-the-art methods. Particularly, on four short-ORF RNA sequence datasets, specifically mouse, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, zebrafish, and cow, NCResNet achieves greater than 10 and 15% improvements over other state-of-the-art methods in terms of accuracy and MCC. Meanwhile, for long-ORF RNA sequence datasets, NCResNet also has better accuracy and MCC than other state-of-the-art methods on most test datasets.

Identification of cellulolytic lactic acid bacteria from the intestines of laying hens given AKBISprob based on 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid gene analysis.

Project description:Background and aimSupplementation of AKBISprob (developed in a previous study) in feed can improve production efficiency and poultry health, especially laying hens. In addition, it can also increase cellulolytic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in chicken intestines, but these bacteria are still unknown; thus, they need to be identified. This study aimed to identify cellulolytic LAB in the intestines of laying hens administered AKBISprob based on 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (16S rRNA) gene analysis.Materials and methodsThe samples used in this study were 13 LAB isolates from the intestines of laying hens that were given AKBISprob 4%. Cellulolytic LAB DNA was isolated and 16S rRNA gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction, followed by sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, and phylogenetic tree construction.ResultsFrom 10 cellulolytic LAB isolates with a clear zone of >6 mm, four were selected and their DNA was amplified with BaCF and UniB primers ~1500 bp DNA fragments. Of these, the P31H62 isolate was genetically close to Enterococcus hirae strain 1-1X-16 with 92.90% maximum identity, the P33S52 isolate had homology with Enterococcus mundtii strain ZU 26 with 96.76% maximum identity, and the P33S62 isolate was closely related to E. hirae strain SJ3 with 72.96% maximum identity. The phylogenetic tree revealed that the cellulolytic LAB isolates P31H62 and P33S52 were in one cluster closely related to the genus Enterococcus.ConclusionThis study suggests that the isolates P31H62, P33S62, and P33S52 from the intestines of laying hens administered 4% AKBISprob are cellulolytic LAB belonging to the genus Enterococcus.

Variation in human chromosome 21 ribosomal RNA genes characterized by TAR cloning and long-read sequencing.

Project description:Despite the key role of the human ribosome in protein biosynthesis, little is known about the extent of sequence variation in ribosomal DNA (rDNA) or its pre-rRNA and rRNA products. We recovered ribosomal DNA segments from a single human chromosome 21 using transformation-associated recombination (TAR) cloning in yeast. Accurate long-read sequencing of 13 isolates covering ∼0.82 Mb of the chromosome 21 rDNA complement revealed substantial variation among tandem repeat rDNA copies, several palindromic structures and potential errors in the previous reference sequence. These clones revealed 101 variant positions in the 45S transcription unit and 235 in the intergenic spacer sequence. Approximately 60% of the 45S variants were confirmed in independent whole-genome or RNA-seq data, with 47 of these further observed in mature 18S/28S rRNA sequences. TAR cloning and long-read sequencing enabled the accurate reconstruction of multiple rDNA units and a new, high-quality 44 838 bp rDNA reference sequence, which we have annotated with variants detected from chromosome 21 of a single individual. The large number of variants observed reveal heterogeneity in human rDNA, opening up the possibility of corresponding variations in ribosome dynamics.

Integrating the Ribonucleic Acid Sequencing Data From Various Studies for Exploring the Multiple Sclerosis-Related Long Noncoding Ribonucleic Acids and Their Functions.

Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic fatal central nervous system (CNS) disease involving in complex immunity dysfunction. Recently, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) were discovered as the important regulatory factors for the pathogenesis of MS. However, these findings often cannot be repeated and confirmed by the subsequent studies. We considered that the small-scale samples or the heterogeneity among various tissues may result in the divergence of the results. Currently, RNA-seq has become a powerful approach to quantify the abundances of lncRNA transcripts. Therefore, we comprehensively collected the MS-related RNA-seq data from a variety of previous studies, and integrated these data using an expression-based meta-analysis to identify the differentially expressed lncRNA between MS patients and controls in whole samples and subgroups. Then, we performed the Jensen-Shannon (JS) divergence and cluster analysis to explore the heterogeneity and expression specificity among various tissues. Finally, we investigated the potential function of identified lncRNAs for MS using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), and 5,420 MS-related lncRNAs specifically expressed in the brain tissue were identified. The subgroup analysis found a small heterogeneity of the lncRNA expression profiles between brain and blood tissues. The results of WGCNA and GSEA showed that a potential important function of lncRNAs in MS may be involved in the regulation of ribonucleoproteins and tumor necrosis factor cytokines receptors. In summary, this study provided a strategy to explore disease-related lncRNAs on genome-wide scale, and our findings will be benefit to improve the understanding of MS pathogenesis.

ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF RIBOSOMAL RIBONUCLEIC ACID.

Project description:1. Ribosomal RNA has been prepared by extracting tissues with a phenol-cresol mixture, and ribosomal RNA can be selectively precipitated with m-cresol. No rapidly labelled RNA was associated with this material. 2. However, if RNA and DNA are extracted with 4-aminosalicylate and phenol-cresol mixture and the nucleic acids precipitated, DNA, glycogen and s-RNA (transfer RNA) can be extracted with 3m-sodium acetate and in this case rapidly labelled RNA remains associated with the ribosomal RNA. 3. The ribosomal RNA is stable in the presence of concentrated salt solution and, although the secondary structure is lost by heating at 70 degrees in 10mm-sodium acetate, it can be re-formed in the presence of 200mm-sodium acetate. 4. The 28s and 18s components have been separated and their base compositions determined.

Ribosomal ribonucleic acid synthesis in Bacillus subtilis.

Project description:The mode of biosynthesis of the 16S and 23S ribosomal ribonucleic acids (rRNA) was studied in Bacillus subtilis 168thy(-). Three criteria were used to define the characteristics of the rRNA species: (i) the time required at 37 degrees C to synthesize 16S and 23S rRNA chains de novo in growing cultures; (ii) the degree of reactivity of the 3'-terminal groups of the rRNA molecules with periodate and [carbonyl-(14)C]isonicotinic acid hydrazide; and (iii) the reactivity of the 5'-terminal regions of the rRNA molecules with the bacterial exonuclease purified by Riley (1969). The 16S and 23S chains of B. subtilis were synthesized at rates of 22+/-2 and 21+/-2 nucleotides added/s. The periodate-[(14)C]isonicotinic acid hydrazide and the exonuclease techniques for estimating apparent chain lengths of RNA indicated that the chain length of the 23S rRNA was 1.8 times that of the 16S fraction. The apparent chain lengths of each rRNA species were: 16S rRNA, 1650+/-50 nucleotide residues; 23S rRNA, 3050+/-90 nucleotide residues. It appears that, the 16S and 23S rRNA molecules in B. subtilis are synthesized in the expected manner, by simple polymerization of the final products on independent cistrons.

The ribosomal ribonucleic acid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

Project description:The 23S rRNA of Agrobacterium tumefaciens contains at least two nicks which result in the formation of RNA components with mol.wts. of 0.52 X 10(6) and 0.48 X 10(6). Thus under the usual conditions of extraction and analysis, no 23S rRNA was recovered from the bacterium. The experiments show that 23S rRNA is synthesized as a continuous chain, in which one or two nicks are formed almost immediately near the ends of the molecule and an additional nick in the middle at a later time.
