Abstract The differential display reverse transcriptional polymerase chain reaction (DD-RT-PCR) was used to hunt for cDNA fragments specifically expressed by taxol treatment of HeLa cells. Forty-eight cDNA clones were differentially displayed through the experiments. The cDNA fragments obtained were separately spotted onto glass slides to prepare a tailor-made DNA chip. The gene expression pattern of differentially displayed cDNA fragments were checked by DNA microarray analysis.

ABSTRACT The major cytotoxic effect of the verotoxins (VTs) produced by strains of VT-producing Escherichia coli is the inhibition of host-cell protein synthesis, but VTs are also suspected to play a role in apoptotic cell signaling and cytokine release. Four differentially expressed genes, including mkp-1 (encoding mitogen-activated protein kinase phospatase 1), were detected by differential display reverse transcription-PCR (DD RT-PCR) stimulated by VT1 in Caco-2 cells. Northern blot analysis showed the induction ofmkp-1 mRNA 6 h after VT1 stimulation. Neither mutant VT1 (mutVT1), harboring two mutations in the A subunit (E167Q-R170L), nor cycloheximide induced mkp-1 mRNA, but mkp-1mRNA was detected with both wild-type VT1 (wtVT1) and anisomycin, a 28S rRNA inhibitor. Therefore, we concluded that the A subunit of VT1 was essential for mkp-1 induction. Increased amounts of phosphorylated c-Jun protein were also found with wtVT1 and anisomycin. Although the precise mechanism of induction of MKP-1 is unknown, we hypothesized that 28S rRNA not only was a sensor for ribotoxic stress, but also was involved in the signal cascade of MKP-1. This is the first report of detection by DD RT-PCR of cellular genes induced by bacterial toxins.

O etileno, conhecido, sobretudo, como o fitormônio da maturação de frutos, está envolvido em vários processos fisiológicos, atuando na regulação da expressão de grande número de genes. O clone parcial de cDNA ER49 foi previamente isolado mediante a técnica do "Differential Display". A obtenção e a análise da seqüência completa confirmaram as homologias significativas com fatores de elongação da síntese de proteínas do tipo Ts. Tais proteínas são responsáveis pela reciclagem do complexo EF-Tu•GDP, que atua na ligação do aminoacil-RNAt ao ribossomo. A predição da seqüência protéica permitiu a detecção de um peptídio sinal de endereçamento para a mitocôndria e dos domínios TS-N e EF-Ts. A modelagem da estrutura terciária mostrou que ER49 poderia interagir com EF-Tu•GDP, para promover a reciclagem de GDP em GTP. Estudos de expressão durante a maturação do fruto de tomate (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), var. Micro-Tom, foram realizados por RT-PCR, revelando que ER49 tem sua expressão induzida nos últimos estádios de maturação do fruto. Os resultados da análise do DNA genômico por Southern blot sugerem que ER49 faz parte de uma família multigênica de 2-3 elementos. Através de ER49, gene mitocondrial regulado pelo etileno, surgem novas perspectivas para o estudo da regulação de genes em nível pós-transcricional e de sua relação com o metabolismo respiratório.
