A cDNA encoding the major core protein, p50, of cytoplasmic messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs) of somatic cells was cloned from a rabbit reticulocyte cDNA library. From the derived 324-amino acid sequence, p50 is identified as a member of the Y-box binding transcription factor family. The protein was earlier described as a repressor of globin mRNA translation. These findings suggest that p50 may affect protein biosynthesis at two levels: mRNA transcription in the nucleus and mRNA translation in the cytoplasm. Together with recently published results showing that masked mRNA in germ cells also is associated with proteins of the Y-box binding protein family, the present finding indicates that these proteins are universal core proteins responsible for the formation of cytoplasmic mRNPs in eukaryotes. Highly purified p50 forms large 18 S homomultimeric complexes with a molecular mass of about 800 kilodaltons and melts RNA secondary structure. This suggests that p50 may affect translation by changing the overall structure of the mRNA.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D012097 Repressor Proteins Proteins which maintain the transcriptional quiescence of specific GENES or OPERONS. Classical repressor proteins are DNA-binding proteins that are normally bound to the OPERATOR REGION of an operon, or the ENHANCER SEQUENCES of a gene until a signal occurs that causes their release.

D012156 Reticulocytes Immature ERYTHROCYTES. In humans, these are ERYTHROID CELLS that have just undergone extrusion of their CELL NUCLEUS. They still contain some organelles that gradually decrease in number as the cells mature. RIBOSOMES are last to disappear. Certain staining techniques cause components of the ribosomes to precipitate into characteristic "reticulum" (not the same as the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM), hence the name reticulocytes. Reticulocyte
D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D005914 Globins A superfamily of proteins containing the globin fold which is composed of 6-8 alpha helices arranged in a characterstic HEME enclosing structure. Globin
