Síntesis del ARN mensajero de histonas de las células HeLa durante el ciclo celular
Cell
|September 1, 1977
Resumen
El ARN mensajero de histonas de las células HeLa se sintetiza continuamente durante todo el ciclo celular, incluso cuando la replicación del ADN está inhibida. Los niveles citoplasmáticos son bajos, lo que indica una regulación post-transcripcional.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
- Biología celular Biología celular.
- Genética La genética.
Sus antecedentes:
- Las proteínas histonas son cruciales para el empaque del ADN y se sintetizan durante la fase S del ciclo celular.
- Estudios previos sugirieron un vínculo potencial entre la transcripción del gen de la histona y la replicación del ADN.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar la síntesis y regulación del ARN mensajero de histonas (ARNm) en las células HeLa durante todo el ciclo celular.
- Para determinar si la síntesis de histona de ARNm está acoplada a la replicación del ADN.
Principales métodos:
- Hibridación del ARN celular HeLa al ADN del gen de histona del erizo de mar en un fago recombinante.
- Tratamiento de las células con citosina arabinosida, un inhibidor de la síntesis de ADN.
Principales resultados:
- El ARNm de la histona se sintetiza durante todo el ciclo celular en las células HeLa.
- La síntesis de ARNm histónica continúa incluso cuando la duplicación del ADN es inhibida por la citosina arabinosida.
- Mientras que el ARN de histona está presente en el núcleo, los niveles citoplasmáticos se reducen significativamente.
Conclusiones:
- La síntesis de ARNm histónica no está acoplada a la replicación del ADN en las células HeLa.
- La regulación de los niveles de ARNm de la histona en el citoplasma ocurre a nivel post-transcripcional, no durante la transcripción.

Interphase
The cell cycle occurs over approximately 24 hours (in a typical human cell) and in two distinct stages: interphase, which includes three phases of the cell cycle (G1, S, and G2), and mitosis (M). During interphase, which takes up about 95 percent of the duration of the eukaryotic cell cycle, cells grow and replicate their DNA in preparation for mitosis.
Chromosome Replication
Before a cell can divide, it must accurately replicate all of its chromosomes, including the DNA and its associated histone and non-histone proteins. This process begins at numerous origins of replication during the S phase of the cell cycle in each of a cell’s chromosomes simultaneously. Certain nucleotides can act as origins of replication, but these sequences are not well defined - especially in complex, multi-cellular, eukaryotic species. The length of DNA that spans an origin of...
Transcription Elongation Factors
Transcription elongation is a dynamic process that alters depending upon the sequence heterogeneity of the DNA being transcribed. Hence, it is not surprising that the elongation complex's composition also varies along the way while transcribing a gene.
The transcription elongation is regulated via pausing of RNA polymerase on several occasions during transcription. In bacteria, these halts are necessary because the transcription of DNA into mRNA is coupled to the translation of that mRNA into a...

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis
Ribosome synthesis is a highly complex and coordinated process involving more than 200 assembly factors. The synthesis and processing of ribosomal components occurs not only in the nucleolus but also in the nucleoplasm and the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
Ribosome biogenesis begins with the synthesis of 5S and 45S pre-rRNAs by distinct RNA polymerases. The primary transcripts are extensively processed and modified before they are bound and folded by ribosomal proteins and assembly factors,...

The Nucleolus
The nucleolus is the most prominent substructure of the nucleus. When it was first discovered, it was considered to be an isolated organelle that forms fibrils and granules. In 1931, the relationship between the nucleolus and chromosomes was first described by Heitz. He observed that the appearance and size of nucleolus varies depending on the stage of the cell cycle. He also noticed constricted regions on different chromosomes clustered together at definite cell cycle stages. These regions,...
