Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
The biosynthesis of RNA carried out on a template of DNA. The biosynthesis of DNA from an RNA template is called REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION.

Sensitivity of an epstein-barr virus-positive tumor line, Daudi, to alpha interferon correlates with expression of a GC-rich viral transcript. (1/287)

The exquisite sensitivity of the Burkitt's lymphoma (BL)-derived cell line Daudi to type I interferons has not previously been explained. Here we show that expression of an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transcript, designated D-HIT (Y. Gao et al., J. Virol. 71:84-94, 1997), correlates with the sensitivity of different Daudi cell isolates (or that of other EBV-carrying cells, where known) to alpha interferon (IFN-alpha). D-HIT, transcribed from a GC-rich repetitive region (IR4) of the viral genome, is highly structured, responding to RNase digestion in a manner akin to double-stranded RNA. Comparing EBV-carrying BL cell lines with differing responses to IFN-alpha, we found the protein levels of the dsRNA-activated kinase, PKR, to be similar, whereas the levels of the autophosphorylated active form of PKR varied in a manner that correlated with endogenous levels of D-HIT expression. In a classical in vitro kinase assay, addition of either poly(I)-poly(C) or an in vitro-transcribed D-HIT homolog stimulated the autophosphorylation activity of PKR from IFN-alpha-treated cells in both EBV-positive and EBV-negative B lymphocytes. By transfection experiments, these RNAs were shown to reduce cell proliferation and to sensitize otherwise relatively insensitive Raji cells to IFN-alpha. The data lead to a model wherein the D-HIT viral RNA also serves as a possible transcriptional activator of IFN-alpha or cellular genes regulated by this cytokine.  (+info)

Two new members of the emerging KDWK family of combinatorial transcription modulators bind as a heterodimer to flexibly spaced PuCGPy half-sites. (2/287)

Initially recognized as a HeLa factor essential for parvovirus DNA replication, parvovirus initiation factor (PIF) is a site-specific DNA-binding complex consisting of p96 and p79 subunits. We have cloned and sequenced the human cDNAs encoding each subunit and characterized their products expressed from recombinant baculoviruses. The p96 and p79 polypeptides have 40% amino acid identity, focused particularly within a 94-residue region containing the sequence KDWK. This motif, first described for the Drosophila homeobox activator DEAF-1, identifies an emerging group of metazoan transcriptional modulators. During viral replication, PIF critically regulates the viral nickase, but in the host cell it probably modulates transcription, since each subunit is active in promoter activation assays and the complex binds to previously described regulatory elements in the tyrosine aminotransferase and transferrin receptor promoters. Within its recognition site, PIF binds coordinately to two copies of the tetranucleotide PuCGPy, which, remarkably, can be spaced from 1 to 15 nucleotides apart, a novel flexibility that we suggest may be characteristic of the KDWK family. Such tetranucleotides are common in promoter regions, particularly in activating transcription factor/cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (ATF/CREB) and E-box motifs, suggesting that PIF may modulate the transcription of many genes.  (+info)

Warm-blooded isochore structure in Nile crocodile and turtle. (3/287)

The genomes of warm-blooded vertebrates are characterized by a strong heterogeneity in base composition, with GC-rich and GC-poor isochores. The GC content of sequences, especially in third codon positions, is highly correlated with that of the isochore they are embedded in. In amphibian and fish genomes, GC-rich isochores are nearly absent. Thus, it has been proposed that the GC increase in a part of mammalian and avian genomes represents an adaptation to homeothermy. To test this selective hypothesis, we sequenced marker protein genes in two cold-blooded vertebrates, the Nile crocodile Crocodylus niloticus (10 genes) and the red-eared slider Trachemys scripta elegans (6 genes). The analysis of base composition in third codon position of this original data set shows that the Nile crocodile and the turtle also exhibit GC-rich isochores, which rules out the homeothermy hypothesis. Instead, we propose that the GC increase results from a mutational bias that took place earlier than the adaptation to homeothermy in birds and before the turtle/crocodile divergence. Surprisingly, the isochore structure appears very similar between the red-eared slider and the Nile crocodile than between the chicken and the Nile crocodile. This point questions the phylogenetic position of turtles as a basal lineage of extant reptiles. We also observed a regular molecular clock in the Archosauria, which enables us, by using a more extended data set, to confirm Kumar and Hedges's dating of the bird-crocodile split.  (+info)

Assembly and functional expression of murine glutathione reductase cDNA: a sequence missing in expressed sequence tag libraries. (4/287)

Glutathione reductase (GR) is a chemotherapeutic target. Murine GRcDNA, which contains 85% GC in the 38 codons following the start codon, was assembled from the PCR-amplified exon 1 and a downstream cDNA prior to expression in Escherichia coli as a His(6)-tagged protein. Recombinant GR, an FAD-containing homodimer, corresponds in its enzymic and spectral properties to GR isolated from murine Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. Another cDNA, representing GR with a mitochondrial targeting sequence, yielded two distinct enzymically active expression products.  (+info)

Phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides promote the in vitro development of human allergen-specific CD4+ T cells into Th1 effectors. (5/287)

DNA vaccination is an effective approach in inducing the switch of murine immune responses from a Th2 to a Th1 profile of cytokine production that has been related to the activity of unmethylated CpG motifs present in bacterial, but not mammalian, DNA. We report here that some synthetic phosphorothioate, but not phosphodiester, oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) were able to induce B cell proliferation and to shift the in vitro differentiation of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus group 1-specific human CD4+ T cells from atopic donors into Th cell effectors showing a prevalent Th1, instead of Th2, cytokine profile. This latter effect was completely blocked by the neutralization of IL-12 and IFN (alpha and gamma) in bulk culture, suggesting that the Th1-inducing activity of phosphorothioate ODNs was mediated by their ability to stimulate the production of these cytokines by monocytes, dendritic, and NK cells. Cytosine methylation abolished the Th1-inducing activity of ODNs; however, CpG dinucleotide-containing ODNs exhibited the Th1-shifting effect independently of the presence or the absence of CpG motifs (5'-pur-pur-CpG-pyr-pyr-3'). Moreover, the inversion of CpG to GpC resulted only in a partial reduction of this activity, suggesting that the motif responsible for the Th1-skewing effect in humans is at least partially different from that previously defined in mice. These results support the concept that the injection of allergens mixed to, or conjugated with, appropriate ODNs may provide a novel allergen-specific immunotherapeutic regimen for the treatment of allergic disorders.  (+info)

Mouse BTEB3, a new member of the basic transcription element binding protein (BTEB) family, activates expression from GC-rich minimal promoter regions. (6/287)

Members of the three-zinc-finger family of transcription factors play an important role in determining basal transcription. We have cloned mouse BTEB3 (mBTEB3), a new member of the basic transcription element binding protein (BTEB) family, which is expressed in a wide variety of tissues. mBTEB3 activates transcription of the simian virus 40 early promoter (4-fold) and of the tissue-specific SM22alpha promoter (100-fold), suggesting that, like BTEB1 and Sp1, mBTEB3 is a basal transcription factor.  (+info)

Two classes of genes in plants. (7/287)

Two classes of genes were identified in three Gramineae (maize, rice, barley) and six dicots (Arabidopsis, soybean, pea, tobacco, tomato, potato). One class, the GC-rich class, contained genes with no, or few, short introns. In contrast, the GC-poor class contained genes with numerous, long introns. The similarity of the properties of each class, as present in the genomes of maize and Arabidopsis, is particularly remarkable in view of the fact that these plants exhibit large differences in genome size, average intron size, and DNA base composition. The functional relevance of the two classes of genes is stressed by (1) the conservation in homologous genes from maize and Arabidopsis not only of the number of introns and of their positions, but also of the relative size of concatenated introns; and (2) the existence of two similar classes of genes in vertebrates; interestingly, the differences in intron sizes and numbers in genes from the GC-poor and GC-rich classes are much more striking in plants than in vertebrates.  (+info)

Nature and structure of human genes that generate retropseudogenes. (8/287)

The human genome is estimated to contain 23,000 to 33,000 retropseudogenes. To study the properties of genes giving rise to these retroelements, we compared the structure and expression of genes with or without known retropseudogenes. Four main features have emerged from the analysis of 181 genes associated to retropseudogenes: Reverse-transcribed genes are (1) widely expressed, (2) highly conserved, (3) short, and (4) GC-poor. The first two properties probably reflect the fact that genes giving rise to retropseudogenes have to be expressed in the germ-line. The two latter points suggest that reverse-transcription and transposition is more efficient for short GC-poor mRNAs. In addition, this analysis allowed us to reject previous hypotheses that widely expressed genes are GC rich. Rather, globally, genes with a wide tissue distribution are GC poor.  (+info)

A "GC-rich sequence" in molecular biology refers to a region within a DNA molecule that has a higher than average concentration of guanine (G) and cytosine (C) nucleotides. The term "GC content" is used to describe the proportion of G and C nucleotides in a given DNA sequence. In a GC-rich sequence, the GC content is significantly higher than the overall average for that particular genome or organism.

The significance of GC-rich sequences can be quite varied. For instance, some viruses and bacteria have high GC contents in their genomes as an adaptation to survive in high-temperature environments. Additionally, certain promoter regions of genes are often GC-rich, which can influence the binding of proteins that regulate gene expression. Furthermore, during DNA replication and repair processes, mismatch repair enzymes specifically target AT base pairs within GC-rich sequences to correct errors.

It's important to note that the definition of a "GC-rich sequence" can be relative and may depend on the specific context. For example, if we consider the human genome, which has an average GC content of around 41%, a region with 60% GC content would be considered GC-rich. However, in organisms like Streptomyces coelicolor, which has an average GC content of 72%, a region with 60% GC content might not be considered particularly GC-rich.

A base sequence in the context of molecular biology refers to the specific order of nucleotides in a DNA or RNA molecule. In DNA, these nucleotides are adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). In RNA, uracil (U) takes the place of thymine. The base sequence contains genetic information that is transcribed into RNA and ultimately translated into proteins. It is the exact order of these bases that determines the genetic code and thus the function of the DNA or RNA molecule.

An "AT-rich sequence" in genetics refers to a region within DNA or RNA that has a high concentration of adenine (A) and thymine (T) base pairs. In DNA, adenine pairs with thymine via two hydrogen bonds, whereas cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G) via three hydrogen bonds. Therefore, AT-rich sequences tend to have lower melting temperatures (the temperature at which the double-stranded structure separates into single strands) compared to GC-rich sequences. This property is exploited in various molecular biology techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), where increasing the AT content can lower the annealing temperature and make the reaction more efficient. However, AT-rich regions can also pose challenges in sequencing and assembly of genomic data due to their repetitive nature and lower complexity.

Base composition in genetics refers to the relative proportion of the four nucleotide bases (adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine) in a DNA or RNA molecule. In DNA, adenine pairs with thymine, and guanine pairs with cytosine, so the base composition is often expressed in terms of the ratio of adenine + thymine (A-T) to guanine + cytosine (G-C). This ratio can vary between species and even between different regions of the same genome. The base composition can provide important clues about the function, evolution, and structure of genetic material.

Molecular sequence data refers to the specific arrangement of molecules, most commonly nucleotides in DNA or RNA, or amino acids in proteins, that make up a biological macromolecule. This data is generated through laboratory techniques such as sequencing, and provides information about the exact order of the constituent molecules. This data is crucial in various fields of biology, including genetics, evolution, and molecular biology, allowing for comparisons between different organisms, identification of genetic variations, and studies of gene function and regulation.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material present in the cells of organisms where it is responsible for the storage and transmission of hereditary information. DNA is a long molecule that consists of two strands coiled together to form a double helix. Each strand is made up of a series of four nucleotide bases - adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T) - that are linked together by phosphate and sugar groups. The sequence of these bases along the length of the molecule encodes genetic information, with A always pairing with T and C always pairing with G. This base-pairing allows for the replication and transcription of DNA, which are essential processes in the functioning and reproduction of all living organisms.

Genetic transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is used to create a complementary RNA molecule. This process is the first step in gene expression, where the genetic code in DNA is converted into a form that can be used to produce proteins or functional RNAs.

During transcription, an enzyme called RNA polymerase binds to the DNA template strand and reads the sequence of nucleotide bases. As it moves along the template, it adds complementary RNA nucleotides to the growing RNA chain, creating a single-stranded RNA molecule that is complementary to the DNA template strand. Once transcription is complete, the RNA molecule may undergo further processing before it can be translated into protein or perform its functional role in the cell.

Transcription can be either "constitutive" or "regulated." Constitutive transcription occurs at a relatively constant rate and produces essential proteins that are required for basic cellular functions. Regulated transcription, on the other hand, is subject to control by various intracellular and extracellular signals, allowing cells to respond to changing environmental conditions or developmental cues.

Promoter regions in genetics refer to specific DNA sequences located near the transcription start site of a gene. They serve as binding sites for RNA polymerase and various transcription factors that regulate the initiation of gene transcription. These regulatory elements help control the rate of transcription and, therefore, the level of gene expression. Promoter regions can be composed of different types of sequences, such as the TATA box and CAAT box, and their organization and composition can vary between different genes and species.
