Adhesion of Enteroaggregative E. coli Strains to HEK293 Cells

[Abstract]  Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is a recognized cause of acute diarrhea among both children and adults worldwide. EAEC strains are characterized by the presence of aggregative adherence fimbriae (AAF), which play a key role in pathogenesis by mediating attachment to the intestinal mucosa and by triggering host inflammatory responses. The aggregative adherence fimbria II (AAF/II) is the most important adherence factor of EAEC prototype strain 042 (EAEC042) to intestinal cells. Multiple receptors for AAF/II on epithelial cells have been identified including the transmembrane signaling mucin Muc1. This protocol describes a method to measure adherence of EAEC strains to HEK293 cells expressing the Muc1 glycoprotein. [摘要]  肠道集聚性大肠杆菌(EAEC)是全球儿童和成人急性腹泻的公认原因。 EAEC菌株的特征在于存在聚集粘附菌毛(AAF),其通过介导与肠粘膜的附着和通过引发宿主炎症反应而在发病机制中起关键作用。 聚合粘附菌毛II(AAF / II)是EAEC原型菌株042(EAEC042)对肠细胞最重要的粘附因子。 已经鉴定了上皮细胞上AAF / II的多种受体,包括跨膜信号传导粘蛋白Muc1。 该协议描述了测量EAEC菌株对表达Muc1糖蛋白的HEK293细胞的依从性的方法。

【背景】EAEC是世界范围内地方性和流行性腹泻病的重要原因。尽管发展中国家儿童腹泻最常见,但EAEC还与免疫受损成人腹泻,旅行者和工业化国家的食源性疾病有关,例如由志贺毒素(Stx)2a型产生的大致致命爆发2011年在北欧的血清型O104:H4的EAEC菌株(Harrington等人,2006; Rasko等人,2011)。 EAEC发病机制由生物体粘附肠细胞,产生肠毒素和细胞毒素并最终诱导炎症的能力决定(Harrington等,2006)。 EAEC对肠细胞的依从性由AAF菌毛粘附素介导(Czeczulin等人,1997)。迄今为止,已经描述了至少5种AAF菌毛的变体,全部编码在范围为55至65MDa的毒力质粒中(Jonsson等人,2015)。 ...

Host-regulated Hepatitis B Virus Capsid Assembly in a Mammalian Cell-free System

[Abstract]  The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is an important global human pathogen and represents a major cause of hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. The HBV capsid is composed of multiple copies of a single viral protein, the capsid or core protein (HBc), plays multiple roles in the viral life cycle, and has emerged recently as a major target for developing antiviral therapies against HBV infection. Although several systems have been developed to study HBV capsid assembly, including heterologous overexpression systems like bacteria and insect cells, in vitro assembly using purified protein, and mammalian cell culture systems, the requirement for non-physiological concentrations of HBc and salts and the difficulty in manipulating host regulators of assembly presents major limitations ... [摘要]  乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)是一种重要的全球人类病原体,并且是肝炎,肝硬化和肝癌的主要原因。 HBV衣壳由单个病毒蛋白的多个拷贝组成,衣壳或核心蛋白(HBc)在病毒生命周期中起着多重作用,并且最近已经成为开发抗HBV病毒疗法的主要靶标。尽管已经开发了几种用于研究HBV衣壳组装的系统,包括异源过表达系统如细菌和昆虫细胞,使用纯化蛋白质和哺乳动物细胞培养系统进行体外组装,但对非生理浓度HBc和盐以及难以操纵装配的宿主调节物在生理相关条件下的衣壳装配的详细研究方面存在主要限制。我们最近开发了基于兔网织红细胞裂解物(RRL)的哺乳动物无细胞系统,其中HBc以生理浓度表达并在近生理条件下组装成衣壳。该系统已经揭示了HBc装配要求,这是以前装配系统所不能预料的。此外,该系统中的衣壳组装受可容易操作的内源宿主因子调控。在这里,我们提供了这种无细胞衣壳装配系统的详细协议,包括如何操纵调节装配的宿主因子的说明。

【背景】乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)是一种重要的全球人类病原体,其长期感染全世界数以亿计的人并且代表病毒性肝炎,肝硬化和肝癌的主要原因(Seeger等人, 2013; Trepo et。,2014)。 HBV通过逆转录RNA中间体(所谓的前基因组RNA(pgRNA))在核衣壳内(NC)复制其基因组DNA(一种宽松的环状部分双链DNA(RC ...

[Abstract]  The establishment of the CRISPR/Cas9 technology in diatoms (Hopes et al., 2016; Nymark et al., 2016) enables a simple, inexpensive and effective way of introducing targeted alterations in the genomic DNA of this highly important group of eukaryotic phytoplankton. Diatoms are of interest as model microorganisms in a variety of areas ranging from oceanography to materials science, in nano- and environmental biotechnology, and are presently being investigated as a source of renewable carbon-neutral fuel and chemicals. Here we present a detailed protocol of how to perform CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing of the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum, including: 1) insertion of guide RNA target site in the diatom optimized CRISPR/Cas9 vector (pKS diaCas9-sgRNA), 2) ...
