Cajal bodies (CBs) and Gems are nuclear domains that contain factors responsible for spliceosomal small nuclear ribonucleoprotein
(snRNP) biogenesis. The marker protein for CBs is coilin. In addition to snRNPs, coilin and other factors, canonical CBs contain
the survivor of motor neuron protein (SMN). SMN can also localize to Gems. Considering the important role that coilin plays
in the formation and composition of CBs, we tested the splicing efficiency of several cell lines that vary in regards to coilin
level and modification using an artificial reporter substrate. We found that cells with both hypomethylated coilin and Gems
are more efficient at reporter splicing compared to cells in which SMN localizes to CBs. In contrast, coilin reduction, which
induces Gem formation, decreases cell proliferation and artificial reporter splicing. These findings demonstrate that coilin
modifications or levels impact artificial reporter splicing, possibly by influencing snRNP biogenesis.

Cell membranes impermeable to NH3 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Classically, there is a direct correlation between the lipophilic nature of a molecule and its rate of permeation across a biological membrane, so cell membranes should be more permeable to small, neutral molecules than they are to charged molecular species of similar size. Consequently, the distribution of NH+4 in biological systems is generally believed to be due to the rapid diffusion and equilibration of lipophilic NH3 across cell membranes and the accumulation of NH+4 to be governed by pH differences between compartments. Here we report that renal tubule cells from the medullary thick ascending limb of Henle have an apical membrane which is not only virtually impermeable to NH3, but is also highly permeable to NH+4. These remarkable properties have been incorporated into a model which explains how this renal epithelium can mediate vectorial movement of NH+4 between compartments of equal pH. 相似文献

A key question in systems biology is how diverse physiologic processes are integrated to produce global homeostasis. Genetic analysis can contribute by identifying genes that perturb this integration. One system orchestrates renal NaCl and K+ flux to achieve homeostasis of blood pressure and serum K+ concentration. Positional cloning implicated the serine-threonine kinase WNK4 in this process; clustered mutations in PRKWNK4, encoding WNK4, cause hypertension and hyperkalemia (pseudohypoaldosteronism type II, PHAII) by altering renal NaCl and K+ handling. Wild-type WNK4 inhibits the renal Na-Cl cotransporter (NCCT); mutations that cause PHAII relieve this inhibition. This explains the hypertension of PHAII but does not account for the hyperkalemia. By expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes, we show that WNK4 also inhibits the renal K+ channel ROMK. This inhibition is independent of WNK4 kinase activity and is mediated by clathrin-dependent endocytosis of ROMK, mechanisms distinct from those that characterize WNK4 inhibition of NCCT. Most notably, the same mutations in PRKWNK4 that relieve NCCT inhibition markedly increase inhibition of ROMK. These findings establish WNK4 as a multifunctional regulator of diverse ion transporters; moreover, they explain the pathophysiology of PHAII. They also identify WNK4 as a molecular switch that can vary the balance between NaCl reabsorption and K+ secretion to maintain integrated homeostasis. 相似文献
