HIVGKO: A Tool to Assess HIV-1 Latency Reversal Agents in Human Primary CD4+ T Cells

[Abstract]  While able to suppress HIV replication in HIV infected individuals, combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) fails to eliminate viral latent reservoir, which consists in integrated transcriptional silenced HIV provirus. So far, identification of latently-infected cells has relied on activating cells to induce expression of HIV proteins which can then be detected. Unfortunately, this activation significantly changed the cell phenotype. We developed a novel HIV reporter, named HIVGKO, that allows the purification of latently-infected cells in absence of reactivation. Indeed, latent cells can be identified by expression of the EF1a-driven mKO2 and lack of expression of the LTR-driven csGFP. This protocol can be used to study the effectiveness of LRAs (Latency Reversal Agents) in ... [摘要]  虽然能够抑制HIV感染个体中的HIV复制,但联合抗逆转录病毒疗法(ART)无法消除病毒潜伏性储库,其包含整合的转录沉默的HIV原病毒。 到目前为止,潜伏感染细胞的鉴定依赖于激活细胞以诱导HIV蛋白的表达,然后可以检测到这些蛋白的表达。 不幸的是,这种激活显着改变了细胞表型。 我们开发了一种名为HIV GKO 的新型HIV报告基因,可以在没有再激活的情况下纯化潜伏感染的细胞。 实际上,可以通过EF1a驱动的mKO2的表达和LTR驱动的csGFP的缺乏表达来鉴定潜伏细胞。 该方案可用于研究LCA(潜伏期逆转剂)在原代细胞中重新激活潜伏HIV的有效性。

【背景】新版双标记病毒(HIV GKO )含有5'LTR中HIV-1启动子控制下的密码子转换eGFP(csGFP)和一种独特的无关荧光蛋白 mKO2在细胞延伸因子αα启动子(EF1α)的控制下。 当使用与遗传相关的荧光蛋白时,由于重组问题,在这些报道分子中使用不相关的荧光蛋白是很重要的。 因此,生产性感染的细胞主要是csGFP + mKO2 + (有些可能只是GFP + ),而潜伏感染的细胞是csGFP - mKO2 + 。 流式细胞仪如分拣机AriaII允许纯化纯感染人群(生产性,潜伏性和/或未感染),而分析仪LSRII允许评估HIV GKO LTR的转录激活。 感染后的时间很短。

Preparation of Sequencing RNA Libraries through Chemical Cross-linking Coupled to Affinity Purification (cCLAP) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

[Abstract]  Ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs) are complexes consisting of mRNAs and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) which control mRNA transcription localization, turnover, and translation. Some mRNAs within the mRNPs have been shown to undergo degradation or storage. Those transcripts can lack general mRNA elements, like the poly(A) tail or 5’ cap structure, which prevent their identification through the application of widely-used approaches like oligo(dT) purification. Here, we describe a modified cross-linking affinity purification protocol (cCLAP) based on existing cross-linking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP) methods to isolate mRNAs which could be deadenylated, decapped and/or partially degraded in mRNPs, opening the possibility to detect different types of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Once isolated, ... [摘要]  核糖核蛋白颗粒(mRNP)是由mRNA和RNA结合蛋白(RBP)组成的复合物,其控制mRNA转录定位,转换和翻译。已显示mRNP内的一些mRNA经历降解或储存。那些转录物可能缺乏一般的mRNA元件,如poly(A)尾或5'帽结构,这通过应用广泛使用的方法如oligo(dT)纯化来阻止它们的鉴定。在这里,我们描述了基于现有的交联和免疫沉淀(CLIP)方法的修饰的交联亲和纯化方案(cCLAP),以分离mRNP中可被去腺苷酸化,去除和/或部分降解的mRNA,从而开启了检测不同的可能性。非编码RNA(ncRNA)的类型。分离后,将RNA进行衔接子连接,然后进行下一代测序(NGS)。由于快速有效的交联和淬灭步骤,该方案也适用于瞬时诱导的mRNP颗粒。实例包括由外在应激物触发的处理体(PB)或应力颗粒(SG)。其重现性和广泛应用使该方案成为研究特定RNP的RNA组成的有用且有力的工具。
【背景】mRNP内转录物的表征对于理解细胞转录和转录后过程至关重要。通过交联和免疫沉淀,然后通过RNA-Seq从mRNP颗粒中分离RNA已经成为鉴定mRNA靶标的常用方法(Tagwerker et al。,2006; Hafner et al。,2010; Kishore et al。,2011)。 ...

Coupling Exonuclease Digestion with Selective Chemical Labeling for Base-resolution Mapping of 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine in Genomic DNA

[Abstract]  This protocol is designed to obtain base-resolution information on the level of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in CpGs without the need for bisulfite modification. It relies on (i) the capture of hydroxymethylated sequences by a procedure known as ‘selective chemical labeling’ (see Szulwach et al., 2012) and (ii) the digestion of the captured DNA by exonucleases. After Illumina sequencing of the digested DNA fragments, an ad hoc bioinformatic pipeline extracts the information for further downstream analysis. [摘要]  该协议旨在获得CpGs中5-羟甲基胞嘧啶(5hmC)水平的碱基分辨率信息,而无需亚硫酸氢盐修饰。 它依赖于(i)通过称为“选择性化学标记”(参见Szulwach等人,2012)的方法捕获羟甲基化序列和(ii)通过外切核酸酶消化捕获的DNA。 在消化的DNA片段的Illumina测序之后,特设的生物信息学管道提取信息用于进一步的下游分析。

【背景】基因组DNA中胞嘧啶的甲基化可以被蛋白质读取,并且主要被翻译成基因沉默。基因组中的大多数CpG二核苷酸是甲基化的,包括位于基因调控区如增强子的那些。然而,当需要时,这些CpG可以通过Ten Eleven Translocation(TET)酶将甲基氧化并且通过碱基切除修复系统用未甲基化的胞嘧啶置换来去甲基化。 5-羟甲基胞嘧啶(5hmC)是5-甲基胞嘧啶的第一个氧化衍生物,并且在基因组中绘制该修饰的碱基提供了关于正在进行活性去甲基化的区域的信息。尽管选择性化学标记(SCL)可以非常特异地检测5hmC,但该技术的分辨率受DNA片段大小的限制,特别是当捕获的DNA中存在多个CpG时。为了提高分辨率,我们引入了使用外切核酸酶的消化步骤,所述核酸外切酶将DNA分子修剪成靠近羟甲基化的胞嘧啶(Sérandour et。,2016)。然后对测序读数进行适当的生物信息学处理,然后将羟甲基化评分赋予捕获的CpG。
