Obelin mRNA obtained in vitro with the aid of SP6 RNA polymerase was translated in a wheat germ cell-free system. Only the polypeptide with a molecular mass of about 20 kDa was synthesized. The activation of apoobelin with a synthetic coelenterazine revealed a luminescence activity initiated by calcium. The specific activity was 3.6 +/- 0.4 x 10(15)photons per mg of the in vitro synthesized obelin (k=6.9s(-1)). The luminescence of the obelin was in a good correlation with the protein concentration calculated by the incorporation of [14C]Leu. The determination of the amount of de novo synthesized obelin based on measurement of its luminescence is one-thousand times more sensitive than the approach based on the incorporation of labeled amino acid. Thus, obelin mRNA has some advantages for evaluating the efficiency of cell-free translation when compared with standard methods.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008164 Luminescent Proteins Proteins which are involved in the phenomenon of light emission in living systems. Included are the "enzymatic" and "non-enzymatic" types of system with or without the presence of oxygen or co-factors. Bioluminescent Protein,Bioluminescent Proteins,Luminescent Protein,Photoprotein,Photoproteins,Protein, Bioluminescent,Protein, Luminescent,Proteins, Bioluminescent,Proteins, Luminescent
D002474 Cell-Free System A fractionated cell extract that maintains a biological function. A subcellular fraction isolated by ultracentrifugation or other separation techniques must first be isolated so that a process can be studied free from all of the complex side reactions that occur in a cell. The cell-free system is therefore widely used in cell biology.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
