Three mitochondrial unassigned open reading frames of Podospora anserina represent remnants of a viral-type RNA polymerase gene

The mitochondrial DNA of Podospora anserina is complex, consisting of a characteristic set of genes with a large number of introns and a substantial amount of sequence of unknown function and origin. In addition, as indicated by various types of reorganization, this genome is highly flexible. Here we report the identification of three unassigned mitochondrial open reading frames (ORF P', ORF Q', ORF 11) as remnants of a rearranged viral-type RNA polymerase gene. These ORFs are not transcribed and may be derived from the integration of a linear plasmid of the type recently identified in a mutant of P. anserina.

Intraaxonaler transport von Ethidium-Bromid-sensitiven RNS- und niedermolekularen 3H-Uridin-Verbindungen im tractus opticus von teleosteern

Zusammenfassung Am Sehtrakt von Carassius carassius und Scardinius erythrophthalmus wurde die axonale Ausbreitungsweise hoch- und niedermolekularer 3H-Uridin-Verbindungen untersucht. Dabei wurde nach intraocularer Injektion des Tracers für TCE-resistente Verbindungen eine intraaxonale Transportgeschwindigkeit von 2–4 mm/d bestimmt, für TCE-lösliche Verbindungen eine von ca. 30–50 mm/d. Durch Applikation des spezifisch mitochondrialen RNS-Synthese-Hemmers Ethidium-Bromid konnte die Einbaurate von 3H-Uridin in hochmolekulare RNS um 70–80% erniedrigt werden, was dafür spricht, daß die langsam im Axoplasma wandernden Mitochondrien einen Großteil der axonalen RNS synthetisieren.In der TCE-löslichen Fraktion konnten durch dünnschichtchromatographische Analyse noch nach 8d p. i. 3H-Uridin und 3H-UDPG nachgewiesen werden. Dieser Befund wird hinsichtlich eines transneuronalen Stoffübertritts von Uridin und der möglichen Bedeutung des UDPG-Transportes im Nervengewebe diskutiert.

Intraaxonal transport of ethidium-bromide-sensitive RNA- and lowmolecular 3H-uridine-compounds in the optic tract of teleost

Summary In the optic system of teleosts (Carassius carassius and Scardinius erythrophthalmus) the axonal flow of high and low molecular 3H-uridine-compounds was investigated. After injection of the tracer into one eyeball and TCA-extraction of the samples a transport-rate of 2–4 mm/d was demonstrated. By the specific inhibitor of mitochondrial RNA-synthesis, Ethidium-Bromide, the amount of axonal radioactivity could be reduced to 20–30% of the control. This indicates the mitochondria as being the site of synthesis most of axonal RNA. Considering the TCA-soluble 3H-uridine-compounds, an intraaxonal flow also could be demonstrated, with a transport-rate of 30–50 mm/d, 16 times higher as the one of RNA. The analysis by thin layer chromatography indicated the existence of 3H-uridine and 3H-UDPG in the axonal fraction of TCA-soluble compounds still after an incorporation time of 8d. The possibility of a transneuronal convection of uridine and the function of UDPG-transport in the axon are discussed.

Members of the heat-shock protein 70 family promote cancer cell growth by distinct mechanisms

Whereas the stress-inducible heat-shock protein 70 (Hsp70) has gained plenty of attention as a putative target for tumor therapy, little is known about the role of other Hsp70 proteins in cancer. Here we present the first thorough analysis of the expression and function of the cytosolic Hsp70 proteins in human cancer cells and identify Hsp70-2, a protein essential for spermatogenesis, as an important regulator of cancer cell growth. Targeted knock-down of the individual family members by RNA interference revealed that both Hsp70 and Hsp70-2 were required for cancer cell growth, whereas the survival of tumorigenic as well as nontumorigenic cells depended on Hsc70. Cancer cells depleted for Hsp70 and Hsp70-2 displayed strikingly different morphologies (detached and round vs. flat senescent-like), cell cycle distributions (G2/M vs. G1 arrest) and gene expression profiles. Only Hsp70-2 depletion induced the expression of macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 that was identified as a target of P53 tumor-suppressor protein and a mediator of the G1 arrest and the senescent phenotype. Importantly, concomitant depletion of Hsp70 and Hsp70-2 had a synergistic antiproliferative effect on cancer cells. Thus, highly homologous Hsp70 proteins bring about nonoverlapping functions essential for cell growth and survival.
