Rabbit globin complementary DNA made with RNA-dependent DNA polymerase (reverse transcriptase) was used as a template for in vitro synthesis of 32P-labeled RNA and deoxysubstituted RNA. The sequences of the nucleotides in most of the fragments resulting from combined ribonuclease T1 and alkaline phosphatase digestion have been determined. In addition, the 3' nearest neighbor was determined for several fragments resulting from digestion with T1 ribonuclease. The utility of the deoxysubstitution technique was demonstrated by the ease with which the sequences of pyrimidine-rich fragments could be determined. Many sequences thus determined were long enough to fit uniquely with the alpha- or beta-globin amino acid sequences. The positions of these fits were found to be clustered, leading us to believe that only certain regions of the complementary DNA are transcribed by Escherichia coli RNA polymerase. Other unique characteristics of RNA synthesis from a complementary DNA template include a high yield of free poly(A) and the fact that one must use low rather than high salt buffers to obtain transcripts of high molecular weight.

The abilities of purine- and pyrimidine-requiring mutants to produce six orthophosphate repressible extracellular enzymes, alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, acid phosphatase, two nucleases and ribonuclease N1 were examined by culturing these mutants in low and high phosphate media containing nucleotide or nucleoside. All the purine requiring mutants produced significantly reduced amounts of alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, acid phosphatase, alkaline nuclease and acid nuclease ranging 0.5-4.2, 5.0-17.4, 25.0-100, 20.3-67.5 and 6.2-48.5%, respectively. Production of ribonuclease N1 was found to be rather stimulated (150-564%) in these mutants. Essentially the same results were obtained for pyrimidine requiring mutants. Among those mutants ad-2 and ad-9 showed relatively high enzyme producing activity. Especially the production of ribonuclease N1 in ad-2 and ad-9 ranged to 4.9- and 5.6-fold that in the wild type. Though nuc-1 mutant (A1) has no ability to produce all these six repressible enzymes, double mutants A1ad-2 and A1ad-9 produced a significant amount of ribonuclease N1 in low and high phosphate media and acid phosphatase in low phosphate media.

The oligoribonucleotide, A-A-A-C-U-U-U-Gp, constituting a segment of RNA bacteriophage Qbeta coat protein gene was efficiently synthesized at a milligram scale by a combination of enzymatic methods using bacteriophage T4 RNA ligase and the thermophilic polynucleotide phosphorylase. A-A-A-Cp was synthesized from A-A-A and pCp by the newly developed mononucleotide addition method using T4 RNA ligase in a yield of 83%, followed by dephosphorylation with bacterial alkaline phosphatase to obtain A-A-A-C. pU-U-U-Gp was synthesized from pU-U-U and GDP by the simultaneous action of polynucleotide phosphorylase and RNase T1 in a yield of 32%. finally, the two oligonucleotides (A-A-A-C and pU-U-U-Gp) were ligated with T4 RNA ligase and the octanucleotide, A-A-A-C-U-U-U-Gp, was obtained in a yield of 85%.

Terminal labeling of embryonic feather keratin mRNA with [3H]KBH4 followed by digestion with ribonuclease T1 and T2, alkaline phosphatase, snake venom phosphodiesterase, and nucleotide pyrophosphatase and analysis of the products by high voltage paper electrophoresis, indicated the presence of the sequence m7G(5')ppp(5')N at the 5'-end of the mRNA. Ribonuclease T1 and A digests of the terminally labeled, and also of unlabeled mRNA followed by fractionation on denaturing polyacrylamide gels indicated the presence of polyadenylate tracts ranging in size from 45 to 165 nucleotide at the 3'-end of the mRNA.

Poly(A)-containing messenger RNA isolated from rabbit reticulocytes as estimated by periodate oxidation and condensation with [3H]isoniazid has two oxidizable end groups per molecule of mol. wt. 220000. When the mRNA is subjected to stepwise degradation by beta-elimination, only one oxidizable end-group is found. This indicates that one of the 2',3' hydroxyl end-groups is linked through the normal 3'--5' phosphodiester bond, but that the other is linked in such a way that after stepwise degradation no new 2',3 hydroxyl group is revealed. This structure could be a 5'-linked 5'-phospho di- or tri-ester. On digestion with ribonuclease the isoniazid-labelled RNA produced oligonucleotide hydrazones consistent with a poly(A) sequence at the 3' end plus fragments that are not found after stepwise degradation. These fragments have a charge of --6 and --8 from pancreatic ribonuclease or --7 from ribonuclease T1 digestion. These charges are changed to --3.4 and --4.1 after pancreatic ribonuclease, ribonuclease T2 and alkaline phosphatase digestion. methyl-3H-labelled-poly(A)-containing RNA isolated from late erythroid cells contain a methyl-labelled fragment resistant to endonuclease and phosphodiesterase II digestion. After digestion with phosphodiesterase I this fragment produces methyl-3 H-labelled nucleotides with the electrophoretic mobility of pm7G and pAm. It is concluded that globin mRNA has the 5' sequences m7G(5')ppp'AmpYpGp ... and m7G(5')pppAmpApGpYp.

The ribonuclease T1 (RNase T1) gene was ligated to a synthetic gene for the signal peptide of Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase. When this fusion gene was expressed in E. coli under the control of the trp promoter, active RNase T1 having the correct N-terminal sequence was secreted into the periplasmic space, indicating that the heterologous signal peptide had been cleaved off correctly. The enzyme could be readily purified from the periplasmic fraction with a yield of 1.8 mg from 1 liter culture. Adopting the same strategy, it was possible to produce a labile mutant of RNase T1 (Glu-58----Ala mutant) in E. coli, the yield of the purified mutant enzyme being 2.0 mg from 1 liter culture.

Various agents were tested for their effects on microbial proteases, which activity was monitored by the analysis of cleaved peptide bands in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Using casein as a substrate, fungal protease (type XIX) was inhibited by the phenyl methyl sulphonyl fluoride, chymostatin, antipain and leupeptin, while bacterial protease (type XXVI) was inhibited by phosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatidyl inositol and sphingosine. MS2 RNA exerted minor inhibition on the bacterial proteolysis of regulatory subunits of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (A-PK). The cleavage of DNA binding protein by both proteases was inhibited, in the presence of MS2 RNA and lambda DNA. In comparison, phosphatidyl serine slightly stimulated the fungal protease on the cleavage of ribonuclease T1. RNA polymerase is a good substrate of the bacterial protease as indicated by the generation of multiple cleaved peptide fragments, whereas alkaline phosphatase is not susceptible to proteolysis.

Molecular-dynamic calculations predict that, if Tyr24 and Asn84 are each replaced by a Cys residue, it should be possible to form a third disulfide bond in ribonuclease T1 (RNase T1) between these residues, with only minimal conformational changes at the catalytic site. The gene encoding such a mutant variant of RNase T1 (Tyr24----Cys24, Asn84----Cys84) was constructed by the cassette mutagenesis method using a chemically synthesized gene. In order to reduce the toxic effect of the mutant enzyme (RNase T1S) on an Escherichia coli host, we arranged for the protein to be secreted into the periplasmic space by using a vector that harbors a gene for an alkaline phosphatase signal peptide under the control of the trp promoter. The nucleolytic activity of RNase T1S toward pGpC was approximately the same as that of RNase T1 at 37 degrees C (pH 7.5). Moreover, at 55 degrees C, RNase T1S retained nearly 70% of its activity while the activity of the wild-type enzyme was reduced to less than 10%. RNase T1S was also more resistant to denaturation by urea than the wild-type enzyme. However, unlike RNase T1, RNase T1S was irreversibly and almost totally inactivated by boiling at 100 degrees C for 15 min.

Polyadenylated [poly(A)+] RNA molecules have been isolated from Methanococcus vannielii by oligodeoxythymidylate-cellulose affinity chromatography at 4 degrees C. Approximately 16% of the label in RNA isolated from cultures allowed to incorporate [3H]uridine for 3 min at 37 degrees C was poly(A)+ RNA. In contrast, less than 1% of the radioactivity in RNA labeled over a period of several generations was contained in poly(A)+ RNA molecules. Electrophoretic separation of poly(A)+ RNA molecules showed a heterogeneous population with mobilities indicative of sizes ranging from 900 to 3,000 bases in length. The population of poly(A)+ RNA molecules was found to have a half-life in vivo of approximately 12 min. Polyadenylate [poly(A)] tracts were isolated by digestion with RNase A and RNase T1 after 3' end labeling of the poly(A)+ RNA with RNA ligase. These radioactively labeled poly(A) oligonucleotides were shown by electrophoresis through DNA sequencing gels to average 10 bases in length, with major components of 5, 9, 10, 11, and 12 bases. The lengths of these poly(A) sequences are in agreement with estimates obtained from RNase A and RNase T1 digestions of [3H]adenine-labeled poly(A)+ RNA molecules. Poly(A)+ RNA molecules from M. vannielii were labeled at their 5' termini with T4 polynucleotide kinase after dephosphorylation with calf intestine alkaline phosphatase. Pretreatment of the RNA molecules with tobacco acid pyrophosphatase did not increase the amount of phosphate incorporated into poly(A)+ RNA molecules by polynucleotide kinase, indicating that the poly(A)+ RNA molecules did not have modified bases (caps) at their 5' termini. The relatively short poly(A) tracts, the lack of 5' cap structures, and the instability of the poly(A)+ RNA molecules isolated from M. vannielii indicate that these archaebacterial poly(A)+ RNAs more closely resemble eubacterial mRNAs than eucaryotic mRNAs.

In wild-type mycelial cultures of Neurospora crassa under Pi-limited conditions, alkaline phosphatase, cyclic phosphodiesterases I, II, III, and IV, 5'-nucleotidase, acid and alkaline nucleases, RNase N1, and a newly detected endonuclease were secreted into the culture media. These enzymes were either not produced or were produced in very reduced levels in mutants nuc-1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, and -7 and cpd-4. The proteins were examined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in a manner which allowed the identification of each of them.
