[Abstract]  

Proteins involved in neurodegeneration can be coupled with optogenetic reagents to create rapid and sensitive reporters to provide insight into the biochemical processes that mediate the progression of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). We have recently developed a novel optically-responsive tool (the ‘CofActor’ system) that couples cofilin and actin (key players in early stage cytoskeletal abnormalities associated with neurodegenerative disorders) with light-gated optogenetic proteins to provide spatial and temporal resolution of oxidative and energetic stress-dependent biochemical events. In contrast to currently available small-molecule based biosensors for monitoring changes in the redox environment of the cell, CofActor is a

[Abstract]  Murine tumor models have been critical to advances in our knowledge of tumor physiology and for the development of effective tumor therapies. Essential to these studies is the ability to both track tumor development and quantify tumor burden in vivo. For this purpose, the introduction of genes that confer tumors with bioluminescent properties has been a critical advance for oncologic studies in rodents. Methods of introducing bioluminescent genes, such as firefly luciferase, by viral transduction has allowed for the production of tumor cell lines that can be followed in vivo longitudinally over long periods of time. Here we describe methods for the production of stable luciferase expressing tumor cell lines by lentiviral transduction. [摘要]  鼠肿瘤模型对于我们对肿瘤生理学知识和有效肿瘤治疗方法发展的进展至关重要。 这些研究的关键是能够跟踪肿瘤发展并量化体内肿瘤负荷。 为此,引入赋予肿瘤生物发光特性的基因已经成为啮齿动物肿瘤研究的重要进展。 通过病毒转导引入生物发光基因(例如萤火虫萤光素酶)的方法已经允许产生可以在体内纵向长时间地进行的肿瘤细胞系。 在这里我们描述了通过慢病毒转导产生稳定表达荧光素酶的肿瘤细胞系的方法。

【背景】体内跟踪细胞最重要的是能够通过微创方法从外部检测它们。使用来自萤火虫的荧光素酶(Photinus pyralis )的酶促生物发光是用于体内基于图像的细胞追踪的广泛使用的方法。生物发光已被用于各种体内应用,包括报告基因表达的无创成像(Herschman,2004),研究昼夜节律(Southern and Millar,2005),成像脑卒中(Vandeputte

[Abstract]  The RNA exosome complex plays a central role in RNA processing and regulated turnover. Present both in cytoplasm and nucleus, the exosome functions through associations with ribonucleases and various adapter proteins (reviewed in [Kilchert et al., 2016]). The following protocol describes an approach to purify RNA exosome complexes from HEK-293 cells, making use of inducible ectopic expression, affinity capture, and rate-zonal centrifugation. The obtained RNA exosomes have been used successfully for proteomic, structural, and enzymatic studies (Domanski et al., 2016). [摘要]  RNA外植体复合物在RNA加工和调节营养中起核心作用。在细胞质和细胞核中存在,外来体通过与核糖核酸酶和各种衔接蛋白的关联起作用(参见[Kilchert等人,2016])。以下方案描述了从HEK-293细胞中纯化RNA外来体复合物的方法,利用可诱导的异位表达,亲和力捕获和速率 - 区带离心。所获得的RNA外来体已被成功地用于蛋白质组学,结构和酶学研究(Domanski等人,2016)。

在我们以前的工作中,我们建立了在四环素诱导型CMV启动子(HEK-293 Flp-In T-REx-Thermo Fisher)的控制下表达C末端3xFLAG标记的外来体组分EXOSC10(RRP6)的同基因HEK-293细胞系科学)。该系统允许我们以与内源WT蛋白质相当的水平表达标记的EXOSC10蛋白质,并且使用磁性抗FLAG亲和介质和来源于冷冻细胞粉末的蛋白质提取物来研究外来体纯化方案(Domanski等, / em>。,2012)。进一步探索使用的蛋白质提取条件,我们开发了一种允许在亲和捕获的外来体内保留DIS3(RRP44)的方案,否则证明是困难的(Hakhverdyan等人,2015)。基于这些研究,我们通过使用甘油密度梯度的速率区带离心法进一步纯化了RNA外来体(+/- DIS3)(Domanski等人,2016)。虽然蛋白质提取物中洗涤剂CHAPS(3 - ...
