Monophosphate- Binding Protein Complex with Subsequent Poly(A) RNA Synthesis in Embryonic Chick Cartilage
Specific nuclear binding of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate- binding protein complex with subsequent poly(A) RNA synthesis in embryonic chick cartilage. W M Burch Jr, H E Lebovitz J Clin Invest. 1980;66(3):532-542. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI109885. Research Article We used embryonic chick pelvic cartilage as a model to study the mechanism by which cyclic AMP increases RNA synthesis. Isolated nuclei were incubated with [32P]-8-azidoadenosine 3,5'-monophosphate ([32P]N3cAMP) with no resultant specific nuclear binding. However, in the presence of cytosol proteins, nuclear binding of [32P]N3cAMP was demonstrable that was specific, time dependent, and dependent on a heat-labile cytosol factor. The possible biological significance of the nuclear binding of the cyclic AMP-protein complex was identified by incubating isolating nuclei with either cyclic AMP or cytosol cyclic AMP-binding proteins prepared by batch elution DEAE cellulose chromatography (DEAE peak cytosol protein), or both, in the presence of cold nucleotides and [3H]uridine 5'-triphosphate. Poly(A) RNA production occurred only in nuclei incubated with cyclic AMP and the DEAE peak cytosol protein preparation. Actinomycin D inhibited the incorporation of [3H]uridine 5'-monophosphate into poly(A) RNA. The newly synthesized poly(A) RNA had a sedimentation constant of 23S. Characterization of the cytosol cyclic AMP binding proteins using [32P]N3-cAMP with photoaffinity labeling three major cAMP-binding complexes (41,000, 51,000, and 55,000 daltons). The 51,000 and 55,000 dalton cyclic AMP binding proteins were further purified by DNA-cellulose chromatography. In the presence of cyclic AMP they stimulated poly(A) RNA synthesis in isolated nuclei.

Abstract The spontaneous emergence of RNA on the early Earth continues to remain an enigma in the field of origins of life. Few studies have looked at the nonenzymatic oligomerization of cyclic nucleotides under neutral to alkaline conditions, in fully dehydrated state. Herein, we systematically investigated the oligomerization of cyclic nucleotides under prebiotically relevant conditions, where starting reactants were subjected to repeated dehydration-rehydration (DH- RH) regimes, like they would have been on an early Earth. DH-RH conditions, a recurring geological theme, are driven by naturally occurring processes including diurnal cycles and tidal pool activity. These conditions have been shown to facilitate uphill oligomerization reactions in terrestrial geothermal niches, which are hypothesized to be pertinent sites for the emergence of life.

Guanosine-Based Nucleotides, the Sons of a Lesser God in the Purinergic Signal Scenario of Excitable Tissues

These compounds are very common in nature, especially in a phosphorylated form. There is increasing evidence that purines are involved in the development of different organs such as the heart, skeletal muscle and brain. When brain development is complete, some purinergic mechanisms may be silenced, but may be reactivated in the adult brain/muscle, suggesting a role for purines in regeneration and self-repair. Thus, it is possible that guanosine-50-triphosphate (GTP) also acts as regulator during the adult phase. However, regarding GBP, no specific receptor has been cloned for GTP or its metabolites, although specific binding sites with distinct GTP affinity characteristics have been found in both muscle and neural cell lines.

31P NMR of ADENOSINE PHOSPHATES ANASAZI APPLICATION SERIES PAGE 2 of 4
P 15 PHOSPHORUS ANASAZI APPLICATION SERIES BROADBAND PROBE / MULTINUCLEAR PROBE 31P NMR OF ADENOSINE PHOSPHATES ANASAZI APPLICATION SERIES PAGE 2 of 4 DID YOU KNOW? Adenosine phosphates are vital for all living organisms. The interconversion of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) not only generates energy for your cells, but also stores energy for when you need it later. When a phosphate group is cleaved from ATP, energy is released and used by your cells. On the other hand your cells capture energy by synthesizing ATP. ATP is now free to move about the cell to other locations that need energy. As a result, the amount of ADP and ATP in a cell changes constantly. ATP and ADP’s little cousin, adenosine monophosphate (AMP) plays a role in this energy cycle. Interestingly enough, AMP is also used commercially as a ‘bitter blocker’, a food additive to alter human perception of taste. AMP is also in your RNA… weird huh? 31P NMR can be used to study the change in concentration of various phosphorus species in human muscles during exercise and rest. Using the 31P spectra of AMP, ADP, and ATP students learn how to interpret 31P NMR spectra of adenosine phosphates and use 31P NMR to determine the quantities of ADP and ATP in an unknown sample.

Phorylase Has Been Forthcominglately
GLYCOGEN SYNTHESIS IN MUSCLE LACKING PHOSPHORYLASE* RUDI SCHMID, PHILLIPS W. ROBBINS, AND ROBERT R. TRAUT THE THORNDIKB MEMORIAL LABORATORY, HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL, AND THE ROCKEFELLER INSTITUTE Communicated by Fritz Lipmann, June 15, 1959 Mounting evidence for the catabolic rather than the anabolic function of phos- phorylase has been forthcoming lately.'-4 The discovery by Leloir and Cardini6 of a UDPG-linked glycogen synthesis, on the other hand, presented a most suit- able anabolic system where, in contrast to phosphorylase, glycogen synthesis is virtually a one-way reaction. Nevertheless, to find an unambiguous method of assigning intracellular glycogen synthesis to one or the other enzyme appeared to present considerable difficulties. At this juncture, therefore, it was particularly fortunate when a human myopathy was discovered' where muscle biopsy showed that a rather high glycogen content was coupled with very low levels of phosphoryl- ase. It seemed probable that the UDPG-linked enzyme was present and that it was responsible for the high glycogen content. We wish to report here on muscle biopsy assays from such a patient which showed the level of the UDPG-linked glycogen synthesizing enzyme to be within the range of normality, in contrast to the again confirmed absence of phosphorylase. Materials and Methods.-Uridine diphosphate glucose and triphosphopyridine nucleotide were purchased from the Sigma Chemical Company; and 5'-adenosine monophosphate and glucose-i-phosphate were obtained from Schwarz Laboratories. Rabbit liver glycogen was purchased from Mann Research Laboratories and .glu- cose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, free of phosphorylase and phosphoglucomutase, was obtained from C. F. Boehringer and Sons. This enzyme was dialyzed over- night against 2 mM Tris, pH 7.5 and stored, frozen, in small batches.

Incorporation of Glucose, Pyruvate, and Citrate Into Platelet Glycogen; Glycogen Synthetase and Fructose-1,6-Diphosphatase Activity
Glycogenesis and glyconeogenesis in human platelets: Incorporation of glucose, pyruvate, and citrate into platelet glycogen; glycogen synthetase and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase activity Simon Karpatkin, … , Arthur Charmatz, Richard M. Langer J Clin Invest. 1970;49(1):140-149. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI106212. Washed human platelets are capable of depositing 1-4 as well as probable 1-6 glucosyl linkages onto preexistent glycogen primer. They are also capable of degrading (glycogenolysis) newly synthesized 1-4 as well as probable 1-6 glucosyl linkages. A higher rate of glycogen synthesis was found in platelet suspensions containing lower concentrations of platelets. This was shown to result from decreased glycogen degradation and consequent increased residual glycogen primer in low platelet suspensions. The increased glycogen content of low platelet suspensions was not a result of platelet washing, removal of platelets from plasma, or release of platelet metabolites into the media. The enzyme glycogen synthetase was found to be present at a rate of 5.2 μmoles of uridine diphosphate (UDP) glucose incorporated into glycogen per gram platelets per hour at 37°C. The Km for UDP glucose was 6.6 mmoles/liter. At optimum concentration of glucose 6-phosphate, the Km was reduced 4.6 fold and Vmax was increased 4.3-fold. Human platelets contain the glyconeogenic pathway. They incorporate pyruvate-14C and citrate-14C into platelet glycogen and contain an apparent fructose-1,6-diphosphatase. The apparent fructose-1,6-diphosphatase was activated by adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP), inhibited by adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and shown to be rate limiting for glyconeogenesis at physiologic concentration of adenine nucleotide.
