The protein phosphatase inhibitors okadaic acid and calyculin A at moderate concentrations induced three types of apoptotic promyelocytic leukemia cell death, distinct with respect to ultrastructure and polynucleotide fragmentation. Calyculin A at higher concentrations (> 50 nM) induced a non-apoptotic death type with high ATP and pronounced micromitochondriosis. This suggests that protein phosphorylation pathways are involved in the triggering of several death pathways. Activation of the cAMP kinase induced yet another apoptotic death type, preferentially affecting cells in S-phase. In fact, cAMP acted in two ways to stop IPC promyelocyte proliferation: (1) block in late G1 (preventing new cells from entering DNA replication); and (2) induction of apoptosis in S-phase. cAMP and phosphatase inhibitors acted via distinct pathways. The inhibitors suppressed cAMP-induced death, but only at concentrations high enough to commit the cells to alternative, less conspicuous death types. The tumor-promoting activity of okadaic acid and calyculin A may therefore not be by protection against apoptosis. DNA fragmentation correlated with the novel feature of limited 28 S rRNA cleavage, suggesting co-ordinated polynucleotide cleavage, possibly directed against illegitimate polynucleotides, in some apoptotic death types.

ABSTRACT Putative RNA helicases are involved in most aspects of gene expression. All previously characterized members of the DEAH-box family of putative RNA helicases are involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Here we report the analysis of two novel DEAH-box RNA helicases, Dhr1p and Dhr2p, that were found to be predominantly nucleolar. Both genes are essential for viability, and MET-regulated alleles were therefore created. Depletion of Dhr1p or Dhr2p had no detectable effect on pre-mRNA splicing in vivo or in vitro. Both Dhr1p and Dhr2p were, however, required for 18S rRNA synthesis. Depletion of Dhr2p inhibited pre-rRNA cleavage at sites A0, A1, and A2, while Dhr1p depletion inhibited cleavage at sites A1 and A2. No coprecipitation of snoRNAs was detected with ProtA-Dhr2p, but Dhr1p-ProtA was stably associated with the U3 snoRNA. Depletion of Dhr1p inhibited processing steps that require base pairing of U3 to the 5′ end of the 18S rRNA. We speculate that Dhr1p is targeted to the preribosomal particles by the U3-18S rRNA interaction and is required for the structural reorganization of the rRNA during formation of the central pseudoknot.

The small subunit processome represents the earliest stable precursor of the eukaryotic small ribosomal subunit. Here we present the cryo-EM structure of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae small subunit processome at an overall resolution of 3.8 Å, which provides an essentially complete atomic model of this assembly. In this nucleolar superstructure, 51 ribosome assembly factors and two RNAs encapsulate the 18S rRNA precursor and 15 ribosomal proteins in a state that precedes pre-rRNA cleavage at site A1. Extended flexible proteins are employed to connect distant sites in this particle. Molecular mimicry, steric hindrance as well as protein-and RNA-mediated RNA remodeling are used in a concerted fashion to prevent the premature formation of the central pseudoknot and its surrounding elements within the small ribosomal subunit.

We developed a rapid and simple method for rRNA-based quantitative detection of a specific group of microorganisms in complex ecosystems. The method relies on the sequence-specific scission of 16S rRNA with ribonuclease H (RNase H) and oligonucleotides that specifically hybridize with targeted rRNA molecules. RNAs from a complex community were first mixed with an oligonucleotide and were subsequently digested with RNase H to achieve sequence-dependent rRNA cleavage at the hybridization site. For the quantitative detection of targeted rRNAs, the resulting RNA fragment patterns were analyzed by gel-electrophoresis, which separated and quantified cleaved and intact rRNA fragments. This method enabled the quantitative detection of microbes in a complex microbial community by a relatively simple and fast experimental procedure. We then applied the cleavage method to actual anaerobic microbial communities such as digested sewage sludge and UASB sludges. The results demonstrated that the present method was fully applicable to anaerobic digestor ecosystems containing complex anaerobic microorganisms.
