A convenient sequencing method for 5' protein-linked RNAs.

A Nomoto, N Imura

    Nucleic Acids Research
    |November 10, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new method efficiently labels protein-linked RNA 5' ends. This technique confirmed the identical 5' end sequence (VPg-pUpUpApApApApCpApGp) in LSc, 2ab poliovirus strains, aiding RNA-protein analysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Virology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Many viral RNAs have proteins covalently attached to their 5' termini.
    • Determining the sequence of these protein-linked RNAs is crucial for understanding viral replication and function.
    • Existing methods for sequencing 5' end protein-linked RNAs can be cumbersome.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a convenient and effective method for nucleotide sequencing of 5' end protein-linked RNAs.
    • To analyze the 5' end sequence of the LSc, 2ab poliovirus genome.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a labeling method using 125I Bolton and Hunter reagent on proteinase K-treated poliovirus RNA.
    • Isolated a labeled oligo peptide-linked ribonuclease T1 fragment from the 5' end of the genome.
    • Analyzed the labeled fragment using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and the Donis-Keller sequencing method.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully labeled the protein (VPg) covalently linked to the 5' terminus of the LSc, 2ab poliovirus genome.
    • Confirmed that the nucleotide moiety of the RNA was not labeled by the reagent.
    • Determined the 5' end sequence of the LSc, 2ab strain genome to be VPg-pUpUpApApApApCpApGp.
    • Found the 5' end structure to be identical to that of the Mahoney strain genome.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed labeling method is efficient and useful for analyzing the 5' end sequence of RNAs linked to protein.
    • This method provides valuable insights into the structure and potential function of viral RNA termini.
    • The identical 5' end sequences suggest conserved mechanisms in poliovirus replication or genome packaging.
