A simple and reproducible method is described for precipitating RNA selectively from total mammalian-cell nucleic acids extracted by the phenol–sodium dodecyl sulphate procedure at pH8.0. Under specified conditions bulk RNA is precipitated almost quantitatively whereas bulk DNA remains in solution. Minor components of RNA (detected by pulse-labelling and chromatography on methylated albumin–kieselguhr) and rapidly labelled components of DNA containing single-stranded regions are also precipitated. The usefulness of the method is discussed in the context of isolating separately both RNA and DNA from cultured cells that are difficult to obtain in quantity.

Sodium perchlorate in high concentrations will remove from solution the detergent sodium dodecyl sulphate and protein complexed with it. This and the failure of proteins to be precipitated by ethanol from solutions containing a high concentration of sodium perchlorate can be utilized as efficient, rapid and simple deproteinization procedures during the preparation of nucleic acids.

General Protein Synthesis

1. Postmitochondrial supernatants were prepared from the livers of chick embryos and were incubated under conditions that supported protein synthesis. delta-Aminolaevulinate synthase (EC 2.3.1.37) was synthesized by supernatants from livers treated with the porphyrinogenic drugs 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide and/or 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine, but synthesis by supernatants from normal livers could not be detected. Synthesis of enzyme released from polyribosomes was measured by immunoprecipitation with specific antibody to the mitochondrial enzyme, and the specificity of the reaction was established by electrophoresis of dissociated immunoprecipitates on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide gels. 2. The relative synthesis of delta-aminolaevulinate synthase in vitro was comparable with that previously measured in vivo, and was correlated with the enzyme activity of the liver. 3. Enzyme synthesis in vitro occurred predominantly on free rather than membrane-bound polyribosomes. 4. The mol.wt. of the product synthesized in vitro was 7000 +/- 7000 by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. However, pulse-labelling of the enzyme in vivo confirmed its mol.wt. to be 49000 +/- 5000 when isolated from the mitochondrion. A small amount of immunoprecipitable enzyme of mol.wt. 70000 was detected in the cytosol in vivo. In chick embryo liver, delta-aminolaevulinate synthase therefore appears to be synthesized on cytoplasmic polyribosomes as a polypeptide of mol.wt. 70000, which in vivo is rapidly incorporated into the mitochondrion, and is then extracted as a lower-molecular-weight form. 5. Haemin added to the postmitochondrial supernatant-containing incubation mixture at concentrations up to 10 muM had no effect on general protein synthesis or the synthesis of delta-aminolaevulinate synthase. On the other hand, haemin treatment of induced chick embryo livers in vivo for 3h markedly decreased the relative synthesis of delta-aminolaevulinate synthase in vitro. These results suggest that haemin represses the synthesis of delta-aminolaevulinate synthase by decreasing the amount of mRNA for the enzyme available for translation.

Glucose Regulated Proteins

Withdrawal of glucose from the medium bathing mammalian cells in culture results in cessation of growth and induces the synthesis of two stress proteins (Mr approximately 94-100 kDa and 78-80 kDa) that have been termed glucose-regulated proteins (GRPs). In LLC-PK1 cells, proteins of the same molecular weights, assayed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography, are fully induced by 24 h in glucose-free medium. The GRPs from LLC-PK1 cells cross-react with antibodies to GRPs of nonpolar cells, confirming their identification. Since glucose is not essential for energy production in cultured cells, but is essential for ribose 5-phosphate and nucleotide biosynthesis (Wice et al. J. Biol. Chem. 256: 7812-7819, 1981), we tested the effect of several precursors of ribose 5-phosphate on the induction of GRPs. The addition of 25 mM fructose or galactose to glucose-free medium suppressed the induction of GRPs. The pyrimidine ribonucleosides uridine and cytidine also suppressed GRP synthesis, ribose and the purine ribonucleosides guanosine and adenosine suppressed partially. The results, coupled with indirect evidence in the literature, lead to the suggestion that cell ribose 5-phosphate or a related metabolite regulates the expression of GRPs.

Itaconate is a small molecule metabolite that is endogenously produced by cis-aconitate decarboxylase-1 (ACOD1) in mammalian cells and influences numerous cellular processes. The metabolic consequences of itaconate in cells are diverse and contribute to its regulatory function. Here, we have applied isotope tracing and mass spectrometry approaches to explore how itaconate impacts various metabolic pathways in cultured cells. Itaconate is a competitive and reversible inhibitor of Complex II/succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) that alters tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolism leading to succinate accumulation. Upon activation with coenzyme A (CoA), itaconyl-CoA inhibits adenosylcobalamin-mediated methylmalonyl-CoA (MUT) activity and, thus, indirectly impacts branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism and fatty acid diversity. Itaconate, therefore, alters the balance of CoA species in mitochondria through its impacts on TCA, amino acid, vitamin B12, and CoA metabolism. Our results highlight the diverse metabolic pathways regulated by itaconate and provide a roadmap to link these metabolites to potential downstream biological functions.

Abstract The COBAS AMPLICOR system automates amplification and detection of target nucleic acids, making diagnostic PCR routine for a variety of infectious diseases. The system contains a single thermal cycler with two independently regulated heating/cooling blocks, an incubator, a magnetic particle washer, a pipettor, and a photometer. Amplified products are captured on oligonucleotide-coated paramagnetic microparticles and detected with use of an avidin-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugate. Concentrated solutions of amplicon or HRP were pipetted without detectable carryover. Amplified DNA was detected with an intraassay CV of &lt; 4.5%; the combined intraassay CV for amplification and detection was &lt; 15%. No cross-reactivity was observed when three different target nucleic acids were amplified in a single reaction and detected with three target-specific capture probes. The initial COBAS AMPLICOR menu includes qualitative tests for diagnosing infections with Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and hepatitis C virus. All tests include an optional Internal Control to provide assurance that specimens are successfully amplified and detected.
