[Abstract]  

Given the scale of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the need for reliable, scalable testing, and the likelihood of reagent shortages, especially in resource-poor settings, we have developed an RT-qPCR assay that relies on an alternative to conventional viral reverse transcriptases, a thermostable reverse transcriptase/DNA polymerase (RTX) (Ellefson et al., 2016). Here we show that RTX performs comparably to the other assays sanctioned by the CDC and validated in kit format. We demonstrate two modes of RTX use – (i) dye-based RT-qPCR assays that require only RTX polymerase, and (ii) TaqMan RT-qPCR assays that use a combination of RTX and Taq DNA polymerases (as the RTX exonuclease does not degrade a TaqMan probe). We also provide straightforward recipes for the purification of this

[摘要]  [摘要]鉴于持续进行的COVID-19大流行的规模,可靠,可扩展的测试需求以及试剂短缺的可能性(尤其是在资源匮乏的环境中),我们开发了一种n RT-qPCR分析方法,该方法依赖于其他方法与常规病毒逆转录酶相比,热稳定的逆转录酶/ DNA聚合酶(RTX)(Ellefson等,2016)。在这里,我们显示RTX与CDC认可并以试剂盒形式验证的其他检测方法具有可比性。我们演示了两种RTX使用模式-(i)仅需要RTX聚合酶的基于染料的RT-qPCR分析,以及(ii)使用RTX和Taq DNA聚合酶组合的TaqMan RT-qPCR分析(因为RTX核酸外切酶不降级ea TaqMan探针)。我们还提供了纯化该替代试剂RTX的简单方法。我们预计,在资源匮乏或需要的地方,研究人员可以获取可用的构建体,并开始开发自己的测定方法,而不论它们存在的调控框架如何。


[背景]尽管已采用多种病毒检测方法来检测SARS-CoV-2感染,包括各种分子诊断和免疫诊断测试,但逆转录酶定量聚合酶链反应(RT-qPCR)仍然是主要且最敏感的方法SARS-CoV-2检测试验(D'Cruz等,2020 ; Tang等,2020 )。RT-qPCR的首要地位在很大程度上是因为基于抗体的测试以及快速核酸诊断平台(如Abbott ...

[Abstract]  Heterologous expression and purification of transmembrane proteins have remained a challenge for decades hampering detailed biochemical and structural characterization of key enzymes and their interacting regulators in multiple metabolic pathways. An in-depth study on the newly identified Arabidopsis thaliana integral membrane protein BALANCE OF CHLOROPHYLL METABOLISM 1 (BCM1) showed a stimulatory effect of the BCM1 on magnesium chelatase, the first enzyme of chlorophyll biosynthesis, through interaction with the GENOMES UNCOUPLED 4 (Wang et al., 2020). Here, we report a detailed and optimized method for heterologous expression and purification of His-tagged BCM1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Following this method, we obtained native BCM1 used for in vitro ...

[Abstract]  The SLC26 or SulP proteins constitute a large family of anion transporters that are ubiquitously expressed in pro- and eukaryotes. In human, SLC26 proteins perform important roles in ion homeostasis and malfunctioning of selected members is associated with diseases. This protocol details the production and crystallization of a prokaryotic SLC26 homolog, termed SLC26Dg, from Deinococcus geothermalis. Following these instructions we obtained well-folded and homogenous material of the membrane protein SLC26Dg and the nanobody Nb5776 that enabled us to crystallize the complex and determine its structure (Geertsma et al., 2015). The procedure may be adapted to purify and crystallize other membrane protein complexes. [摘要]  SLC26或SulP蛋白构成在亲和真核生物中普遍表达的大量阴离子转运蛋白。在人类中,SLC26蛋白在离子稳态中起重要作用,选择成员的功能障碍与疾病有关。该方案详细描述了来自地热异常球菌的原核SLC26同源物(称为SLC26Dg)的产生和结晶。按照这些说明,我们获得了膜蛋白SLC26Dg和纳米体Nb5776的良好折叠和均匀的材料,使我们能够使复合物结晶并确定其结构(Geertsma等人,2015)。该方法可以适于纯化和结晶其它膜蛋白复合物。

背景 除了少数例外,膜蛋白的结构表征涉及蛋白质生产水平,洗涤剂溶解状态下的稳定化和结晶的挑战。克服这些障碍所采取的策略取决于有效选择具有优异生物化学性质的SLC26同系物和使用抗体作为结晶伴侣(Geertsma等人,2015)。这里描述的程序并没有大大偏离同事的程序,但在几点上,我们采用其他方法。例如,对于蛋白质生产,我们利用araBAD启动子(Guzman等人,1995),而不是流行的T7启动子(Studier等人,1990)。与T7启动子相反,PAD启动子允许直接调节蛋白质生产水平及其对下游折叠机械的能力的调节,从而减少包涵体的形成(Geertsma, et ...
