背景情况:
- 错误翻译,蛋白质合成中的错误,通常会导致有毒的异常蛋白质.
- 然而,错误的翻译有时会产生有益的影响,帮助细胞适应压力.
- 氨基酸-tRNA合成酶是蛋白质合成中的关键酶;突变可能导致错误翻译.
研究的目的:
- 研究错误翻译在氧化应激下对细菌生长的影响.
- 为了比较大肠杆菌菌株与突变的isoleucyl-tRNA合成酶到野生类型.
- 为了确定是否错误地将瓦林或诺瓦林与异黄素相结合,而不是提供适应性益处.

- 使用了Escherichia coli菌株,其中有一个突变的isoleucyl-tRNA合成酶,缺乏编辑域.
- 在补充瓦林 (Val) 或诺瓦林 (Nva) 的介质中培养了突变型和野生型菌株.
- 暴露于不同生长阶段的氧化应激 (过氧化) 的细菌培养.
主要成果:
- 当细胞在暴露过氧化之前先用Nva或Val进行预化时,没有观察到错误翻译的有益影响.
- 与野生类型相比,编辑缺陷菌株在培养0.75 mmol/L Val时显示出略有增强的生长,直到氧化应激之前的早期或中指数阶段.
- 这表明在特定的氧化应激条件下,异黄素错误翻译的适应效应很小.

Improving Translational Accuracy
9.9K
Base complementarity between the three base pairs of mRNA codon and the tRNA anticodon is not a failsafe mechanism. Inaccuracies can range from a single mismatch to no correct base pairing at all. The free energy difference between the correct and nearly correct base pairs can be as small as 3 kcal/ mol. With complementarity being the only proofreading step, the estimated error frequency would be one wrong amino acid in every 100 amino acids incorporated. However, error frequencies observed in...

Translation
14.7K
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.

Mismatch Repair
4.8K
Organisms are capable of detecting and fixing nucleotide mismatches that occur during DNA replication. This sophisticated process requires identifying the new strand and replacing the erroneous bases with correct nucleotides. Mismatch repair is coordinated by many proteins in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Regulation of the Unfolded Protein Response
2.4K
Inositol-requiring kinase one or IRE1 is the most conserved eukaryotic unfolded protein response (UPR) receptor. It is a type I transmembrane protein kinase receptor with a distinctive site-specific RNase activity. As the binding mechanics of the misfolded proteins with the N-terminal domain of IRE-1 are unclear, three binding models — direct, indirect, and allosteric -- are proposed for receptor activation. Nevertheless, it is known that once a misfolded protein associates with IRE1, it...

Protein Modifications in the RER
5.1K
Modification of secretory and transmembrane proteins entering the rough ER begins in the ER lumen. These modifications aid in protein folding and stabilize the acquired tertiary structure. Protein modifications in the rough ER co-occur at different stages of protein folding.
Broadly, these modifications can be categorized into four main categories — glycosylation, formation of disulfide bonds, assembly of protein subunits, and specific proteolytic cleavages like removal of signal...

The Unfolded Protein Response
4.5K
The ER is the hub of protein synthesis in a cell. It has robust systems to quality control protein folding and also for degradation of terminally misfolded proteins. Under normal conditions, a small proportion of misfolded proteins that cannot be salvaged need to be transported to the cytoplasm by the ER-associated degradation or ERAD pathways. However, if the ERAD cannot handle the misfolded proteins, the cell activates the unfolded protein response or UPR to adjust the protein folding...
