Expresión del genoma autónomo del parvovirus H1: evidencia de una sola unidad transcripcional y múltiples
Cell
|August 1, 1979
Resumen
Los investigadores identificaron las transcripciones virales del parvovirus H1 en las células de roedores. El estudio encontró transcripciones nucleares y citoplasmáticas distintas, lo que sugiere una sola unidad de transcripción para el genoma del parvovirus.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
- Virología Virología.
Sus antecedentes:
- Los parvovirus son pequeños virus de ADN de una sola cadena que se replican en el núcleo de las células infectadas.
- Comprender la expresión génica del parvovirus es crucial para comprender la replicación viral y la patogénesis.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para identificar y caracterizar las transcripciones virales en las células de roedores infectados por parvovirus H1.
- Para investigar la organización transcripcional del genoma del parvovirus H1.
Principales métodos:
- Técnica de mapeo de la nucleasa S1 (Berk y Sharp, 1977, 1978).
- Análisis de híbridos de ARN-ADN mediante electroforesis en geles de agarosa alcalina.
- Detección de transcripciones virales en las fracciones nucleares y citoplasmáticas de las células infectadas.
Principales resultados:
- Una transcripción viral predominante de 2,8 kb se encuentra tanto en el núcleo como en el citoplasma (56% del genoma).
- Una transcripción nuclear específica de 4.7 kb (95% del ADN viral), lo que sugiere una sola unidad de transcripción.
- Detección de transcripciones adicionales más pequeñas (3.0, 1.45, 1.30 kb).
- El análisis reveló que las transcripciones de 4.7, 3.0 y 2.8 kb son ARN empalmados.
- La transcripción de 4.7 kb está codificada por dos segmentos de ADN no contiguos (2.2 y 2.6 kb).
- Las transcripciones de 3.0 y 2.8 kb están codificadas por un segmento de ADN de 2.6 kb y segmentos no contiguos más pequeños.
Conclusiones:
- La expresión génica del parvovirus H1 implica múltiples transcripciones empalmadas.
- El genoma del parvovirus probablemente funcione como una sola unidad de transcripción, produciendo varias especies de ARN a través del empalme.
- El tratamiento con cicloheximida mejora la acumulación de todas las transcripciones virales, lo que indica regulación o estabilización post-transcripcional.

Viruses with RNA Genomes
1.3K
RNA viruses are categorized into positive-strand, negative-strand, or double-stranded groups based on their genomic structure and replication mechanisms. This classification dictates how they exploit host cellular machinery for protein synthesis and replication. Some RNA viruses also utilize reverse transcription as part of their life cycle, further diversifying their replication strategies.Positive-Strand RNA VirusesPositive-strand RNA viruses have genomes that function directly as messenger...

Leaky Scanning
5.9K
During most eukaryotic translation processes, the small 40S ribosome subunit scans an mRNA from its 5' end until it encounters the first start AUG codon. The large 60S ribosomal subunit then joins the smaller one to initiate protein synthesis. The location of the translation initiation is largely determined by the nucleotides near the start codon as there may be multiple translation initiation sites present on the mRNA. Marilyn Kozak discovered that the sequence RCCAUGG (where R...

Retrovirus Life Cycles
50.6K
Retroviruses have a single-stranded RNA genome that undergoes a special form of replication. Once the retrovirus has entered the host cell, an enzyme called reverse transcriptase synthesizes double-stranded DNA from the retroviral RNA genome. This DNA copy of the genome is then integrated into the host’s genome inside the nucleus via an enzyme called integrase. Consequently, the retroviral genome is transcribed into RNA whenever the host’s genome is transcribed, allowing the...

Retroviruses
15.8K
Retroviruses and retrotransposons both insert copies of their genetic elements into the genome of the host cell. Thus, the viral genes are passed on when the host genome is replicated or translated. A typical retroviral DNA sequence contains 3-4 genes that encode the different proteins required for its structural assembly and function as a molecular parasite. This DNA is transcribed into a single mRNA, which is very similar in structure to conventional mRNAs, i.e., it is capped at the 5’...

LTR Retrotransposons
20.5K
LTR retrotransposons are class I transposable elements with long terminal repeats flanking an internal coding region. These elements are less abundant in mammals compared to other class I transposable elements. About 8 percent of human genomic DNA comprises LTR retrotransposons. Some of the common examples of LTR retrotransposons are Ty elements in yeast and Copia elements in Drosophila.

DNA-only Transposons
18.4K
DNA-only transposons are called autonomous transposons since they code for the enzyme transposase that is required for the transposition mechanism. Insertion of transposons can alter gene functions in multiple ways. They can mutate the gene, alter gene expression by introducing a novel promoter or insulator sequence, introduce new splice sites, and change the mRNA transcripts produced, or remodel chromatin structure.
The donor site from where the transposon is excised is either degraded or...
