概括

在Toxoplasma gondii中的自然反感转录 (NAT) 对于细胞适应压力至关重要. 这些长的非编码RNA在寄生虫的生存和对环境变化的反应中起着重要作用.

科学领域:

寄生虫学的寄生虫学
分子生物学分子生物学
基因组学就是基因组学.

背景情况:

自然反意义转录 (NAT) 是长非编码RNAs (lncRNAs) 的一个重要类别.
NATs存在于 *Toxoplasma gondii* 的所有染色体上,频率各不相同.
与NAT相关的基因对于T. gondii*的基本细胞功能和家政活动至关重要.

研究的目的:

调查NATs在 *Toxoplasma gondii* 细胞适应和应激反应中的作用.
在压力条件下描述特定NAT,TgUlp1-NAT的表达模式和变体.

主要方法:

在T. gondii*染色体中NAT分布的基因组分析.
基因本体学 (GO) 分析以确定NAT相关基因的功能.
纳米化酶记者系统用于监测TgUlp1-NAT表达.
暴露T. gondii在各种压力条件下 (电穿孔,膜不稳定,改变的离子/透压力).

主要成果:

在T. gondii中,NAT分布广泛,ChrIa的密度最高.
GO分析显示,与NAT相关的基因参与了代谢和蛋白质生物化学过程.
TgUlp1-NAT表达是由电穿孔和膜不稳定引起的,但由高,高或改变的透压力下调.
在压力寄生虫中发现了TgUlp1-NAT的两个变体 (TgUlp1-NATa和TgUlp1-NATb),其中一种变体含有调节性小ncRNAs.

结论:

NAT表达是Toxoplasma gondii*细胞应激反应机制的组成部分.
NATs有助于寄生虫适应和从环境压力中恢复的能力.
鉴定到的TgUlp1-NAT变体表明,它们在寄生虫生存中起着复杂的调节作用.

关键词:

Regulation of the Unfolded Protein Response

Regulation of the Unfolded Protein Response

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...
