abstract = {Fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF-1) is a powerful angiogenic factor whose gene structure contains four promoters, giving rise to a process of alternative splicing resulting in four mRNAs with alternative 5' untranslated regions (5' UTRs). Here we have identified, by using double luciferase bicistronic vectors, the presence of internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs) in the human FGF-1 5' UTRs, particularly in leaders A and C, with distinct activities in mammalian cells. DNA electrotransfer in mouse muscle revealed that the IRES present in the FGF-1 leader A has a high activity in vivo. We have developed a new regulatable TET OFF bicistronic system, which allowed us to rule out the possibility of any cryptic promoter in the FGF-1 leaders. FGF-1 IRESs A and C, which were mapped in fragments of 118 and 103 nucleotides, respectively, are flexible in regard to the position of the initiation codon, making them interesting from a biotechnological point of view. Furthermore, we show that FGF-1 IRESs A of murine and human origins show similar IRES activity profiles. Enzymatic and chemical probing of the FGF-1 IRES A RNA revealed a structural domain conserved among mammals at both the nucleotide sequence and RNA structure levels. The functional role of this structural motif has been demonstrated by point mutagenesis, including compensatory mutations. These data favor an important role of IRESs in the control of FGF-1 expression and provide a new IRES structural motif that could help IRES prediction in 5' UTR databases.},

abstract = {In many Candida species, the leucine CUG codon is decoded by a tRNA with two unusual properties: it is a ser-tRNA and, uniquely, has guanosine at position 33 (G33). Using a combination of enzymatic (V1 RNase, RnI nuclease) and chemical (Pb(2+), imidazole) probing of the native Candida albicans ser-tRNACAG, we demonstrate that the overall tertiary structure of this tRNA resembles that of a ser-tRNA rather than a leu-tRNA, except within the anticodon arm where there is considerable disruption of the anticodon stem. Using non-modified in vitro transcripts of the C. albicans ser-tRNACAG carrying G, C, U or A at position 33, we demonstrate that it is specifically a G residue at this position that induces the atypical anticodon stem structure. Further quantitative evidence for an unusual structure in the anticodon arm of the G33-tRNA is provided by the observed change in kinetics of methylation of the G at position 37, by purified Escherichia coli m(1)G37 methyltransferase. We conclude that the anticodon arm distortion, induced by a guanosine base at position 33 in the anticodon loop of this novel tRNA, results in reduced decoding ability which has facilitated the evolution of this tRNA without extinction of the species encoding it.},

abstract = {A specific terminal structure of preintegrative DNA is required for transposition of retroviruses and LTR-retrotransposons. We have used an anchored PCR technique to map the 3'ends of DNA intermediates synthesized inside yeast Ty1 and Ty3 retrotransposon virus-like particles. We find that, unlike retroviruses, Ty1 replicated DNA does not have two extra base pairs at its 3'ends. In contrast some Ty3 preintegrative DNA molecules have two extra nucleotides at the 3'end of upstream and downstream long terminal repeats. Moreover we find that some molecules of replicated Ty3 DNA have more than two extra nucleotides at the 3'end of the upstream LTR. This observation could be accounted for by imprecise RNAse H cutting of the PPT sequence. The site of Ty1 and Ty3 plus-strand strong-stop DNA termination was also examined. Our results confirm that the prominent Ty1 and Ty3 plus-strand strong-stop molecules harbor 12 tRNA templated bases but also show that some Ty1 and Ty3 plus-strand strong-stop DNA molecules harbor less tRNA templated bases. We propose that these less than full length plus-strand molecules could be active intermediates in Ty retrotransposon replication.},

abstract = {Helix 34 of E. coli 16 S rRNA (1046 to 1067 and 1189 to 1211) has been proposed to participate directly in the termination of translation at UGA stop codons. We have constructed mutations in this helix in plasmid-encoded rDNA to explore the specific functional roles of the sequence UCAUCA (1199 to 1204) and a secondary structure also involving positions 1054 and 1057-1058. The rRNA mutations were analyzed for their effects on in vivo translational accuracy (stop codon readthrough and frameshifting) as well as growth rate, ribosome synthesis and incorporation into polysomes. Mutations at positions 1054, 1057, 1058, 1199 and 1200 had significant effects on translational accuracy, causing non-specific readthrough of all three stop codons as well as enhanced +1 and -1 frameshifting. Mutations at 1202 and 1203, however, had no effect. The incorporation of deleterious mutant subunits into 70 S ribosomes and polysomes was severely reduced and was associated with a slower growth rate and increased synthesis of host-encoded ribosomes. These data support the proposal that helix 34 is an essential component of the decoding center of the 30 S ribosomal subunit and is not restricted in function to UGA-codon specific termination.},
