摘要: Vaults are cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein structures that display a complex morphology reminiscent of the multiple arches which form cathedral vaults, hence their name. Previous studies on rat liver vaults (Kedersha, N. L., and L. H. Rome. 1986. J. Cell Biol. 103:699-709) have established composition is unlike any known class RNA-containing particles in they contain copies unique small RNA more than 50 single polypeptide 104,000 Mr. We now report isolation from numerous species show appear to be ubiquitous among eukaryotes, including mammals, amphibians (Rana catesbeiana Xenopus laevis), avians (Gallus Gallus), lower eukaryote Dictyostelium discoideum. Electron microscopy reveals purified these diverse similar both dimensions morphology. The various also composition; each being composed major with an approximate mass 100 kD several minor polypeptides molecular masses those seen rat. Antibodies raised against recognize vault protein all Dictyostelium. therefore strongly conserved broadly distributed, suggesting function essential eukaryotic cells.
