Generation and in Planta Functional Analysis of Potato Virus Y mutants

[Abstract]  Potato virus Y (PVY), the type member of the genus Potyvirus (family Potyviridae), is the most widespread virus affecting potato and is included in the top five most economically detrimental plant viruses. Recently, the structure of the PVY virion has been determined by cryo-electron microscopy, which has opened the doors to functional studies that explore the involvement of selected amino acids in different stages of the viral cycle. The only way to functionally challenge in planta the role of particular amino acids in the coat protein of PVY, or in other viral proteins, is by using cDNA clones. The use and manipulation of PVY cDNA clones, unlike those of other potyviruses, has been traditionally impaired by the toxicity that certain sequences within the PVY ... [摘要]   [摘要] 马铃薯Y病毒(PVY)是马铃薯Y病毒属(Potyvirus,Potyvirus,Potyvirus科)的模式成员,是危害马铃薯最广泛的病毒之一,被列为最具经济危害性的五大植物病毒之一。最近,低温电子显微镜技术已经确定了PVY病毒离子的结构,这为功能性研究打开了大门,可以探索在病毒周期的不同阶段中所选择的氨基酸的参与。唯一能在植物体内挑战PVY外壳蛋白或其它病毒蛋白中特定氨基酸的作用的方法是使用cDNA克隆。与其他马铃薯Y病毒不同,PVY cDNA克隆的使用和操作一直受到PVY基因组中某些序列对大肠杆菌的毒性的影响。在这里,我们描述了一个已发表的PVY cDNA克隆,它含有克服上述毒性的内含子,以探索不同外壳蛋白修饰对病毒感染的影响。该方案包括在大肠杆菌中操作cDNA克隆,用构建的克隆对植物进行生物接种,观察对植物的生物学效应,通过逆转录定量PCR对cDNA克隆进行定量,并通过透射电镜证实病毒离子的形成。未来的可能性包括使用荧光蛋白报告者标记的PVY cDNA克隆,以进一步深入了解外壳蛋白突变对PVY病毒离子细胞间运动的影响。

[Abstract]  Absorption and secretion of peptide and protein cargoes across single-cell thick mucosal and endothelial barriers occurs by active endocytic and vesicular trafficking that connects one side of the epithelial or endothelial cell (the lumen) with the other (the serosa or blood). Assays that assess this pathway must robustly control for non-specific and passive solute flux through weak or damaged intercellular junctions that seal the epithelial or endothelial cells together. Here we describe an in vitro cell culture Transwell assay for transcytosis of therapeutic peptides linked covalently to various species of the glycosphingolipid GM1. We recently used this assay to develop technology that harnesses endogenous mechanism of lipid sorting across epithelial cell barriers to enable ... [摘要]  单细胞厚粘膜和内皮屏障上的肽和蛋白质货物的吸收和分泌通过活性内吞和囊泡运输发生,其连接上皮细胞或内皮细胞(管腔)的一侧与另一侧(浆膜或血液)。 评估该途径的测定必须通过弱的或受损的细胞间连接强有力地控制非特异性和被动的溶质通量,所述细胞间连接将上皮细胞或内皮细胞密封在一起。 在这里,我们描述了一种体外>细胞培养Transwell测定法,用于与各种鞘糖脂GM1共价连接的治疗性肽的转胞吞作用。 我们最近使用该测定开发了技术,该技术利用跨上皮细胞屏障的脂质分选的内源机制,以实现肽和蛋白质治疗剂的口服递送。

【背景】
大分子穿过覆盖粘膜表面的单细胞厚的上皮屏障和衬在供给心肌和脑的血管的紧密内皮屏障上的运输通过内吞过程发生,该内吞过程将这些极化细胞的一侧与另一侧连接。该过程称为转胞吞作用(Garcia-Castillo et al。>,2017)。通过受体介导的内吞作用和穿过消化道和呼吸道粘膜的囊泡运输的免疫球蛋白的吸收和分泌最着名的是这一过程。对转胞吞作用的兴趣也受到利用该途径在紧密上皮和内皮屏障上递送治疗性肽和蛋白质的潜力的刺激(Thuenauer 等人,>,2017)。

转胞吞作用是一种活跃的(ATP驱动的)过程。在一些情况下,通过细胞间紧密连接在细胞周围被动扩散可以发生大分子跨越紧密上皮和内皮屏障的转运(Fung ...

[Abstract]  In this protocol, we describe the production and purification of the ectodomain of the E2661 envelope protein (amino acids 384-661) of the Hepatitis C virus, which plays a fundamental role in the entry of the virus into the host cell. This protein has been expressed in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems but in small quantities or without native protein characteristics. In our case, we use the Baculovirus expression system in insect cells. E2661 is secreted into the extracellular medium and purified by means of affinity chromatography a Ni-NTA-column because the protein has a tag of six histidines at its amino terminal end. The purified protein possesses a native-like conformation and it is produced in large quantities, around 5-6 mg per liter. [摘要]  在该协议中,我们描述了丙型肝炎病毒的E2 661 包膜蛋白(氨基酸384-661)的胞外域的产生和纯化,其在病毒进入中起基础作用。 进入宿主细胞。 该蛋白质已经在原核和真核系统中表达,但是少量或没有天然蛋白质特征。 在我们的例子中,我们在昆虫细胞中使用杆状病毒表达系统。 E2 661 被分泌到细胞外培养基中并通过亲和层析Ni-NTA-柱纯化,因为该蛋白质在其氨基末端具有六个组氨酸的标签。 纯化的蛋白质具有天然样构象,并且大量生产,每升约5-6mg。
【背景】丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)是全世界慢性肝炎,肝硬化和肝细胞癌的主要原因(Major et al。,2001; Alter,2006)。此时,没有HCV疫苗,抗病毒药物用于治疗HCV感染(Imran et al。,2014)。然而,治疗费用昂贵且不是100%有效(Kohli et al。,2014)。 HCV包膜糖蛋白E2负责与细胞受体的相互作用,因此它是研究病毒感染周期的第一步的主要候选者。由于糖基化和聚集,先前的表达系统产生低水平的异质蛋白质,并且难以区分经历生产性和非生产性折叠的分子(Flint ...
