[Abstract]  

7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) is one of the most common and mutagenic oxidative DNA damages induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Since ROS is mainly produced in the inner membranes of the mitochondria, these organelles and especially the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contained therein are particularly affected by this damage. Insufficient elimination of 8-oxoG can lead to mutations and thus to severe mitochondrial dysfunctions. To eliminate 8-oxoG, the human body uses the enzyme 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1), which is the main antagonist to oxidative damage to DNA. However, previous work suggests that the activity of the human OGG1 (hOGG1) decreases with age, leading to an age-related accumulation of 8-oxoG. A better understanding of the exact mechanisms of hOGG1 could lead

[摘要]  [摘要] 7,8-二氢-8-氧鸟嘌呤(8-oxoG)是由活性氧(ROS)引起的最常见且诱变的氧化DN A损伤之一。由于ROS主要在线粒体的内膜中产生,因此这些细胞器,特别是其中所含的线粒体DNA(mtDNA)受到这种损害的特别影响。消除8-oxoG可能会导致突变,从而导致严重的线粒体功能障碍。为了消除8-oxoG,人体使用了8-氧代鸟嘌呤DNA糖基化酶1(OGG1),它是DNA氧化损伤的主要拮抗剂。但是,先前的研究表明,人类OGG1的活性(h OGG1)随着年龄的增长而减少,导致与年龄相关的8-oxoG积累。更好地了解hOGG1的确切机制可能会导致发现新的靶标,因此对于开发预防性疗法具有重要意义。因此,我们开发了一种实时碱基切除修复测定法,该测定法采用了专门设计的双链报告寡核苷酸来测量分离的线粒体裂解物中hOGG1的活性。这里介绍的该系统与经典测定法不同,在经典测定法中,可以通过实时测量hOGG1活性通过变性丙烯酰胺凝胶进行终点测定。另外,为了确定该双功能酶的每个酶促步骤的活性(N-糖基化酶和AP-裂解酶活性),还可以进行解链曲线分析。使用各种离心步骤从人成纤维细胞中分离线粒体后,将其裂解,然后与专门设计的报告寡核苷酸一起孵育。hOGG1活性的后续测量是在常规实时PCR系统中进行的。

[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。

[Abstract]  Chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with quantitative PCR (ChIP-qPCR) or high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) has become the gold standard for the identification of binding sites of DNA binding proteins and the localization of histone modification on a locus-specific or genome-wide scale, respectively. ChIP experiments can be divided into seven critical steps: (A) sample collection, (B) crosslinking of proteins to DNA, (C) nuclear extraction, (D) chromatin isolation and fragmentation by sonication, (E) immunoprecipitation of histone marks by appropriate antibodies, (F) DNA recovery, and (G) identification of precipitated protein-associated DNA by qPCR or high-throughput sequencing. Here, we describe a time-efficient protocol that can be used for ChIP-qPCR experiments to study the ...

[背景]真核基因组中的染色体中,其与组蛋白DNA结合形成染色质组织的。组蛋白与DNA之间的紧密相互作用阻碍了DNA与其他因素的可及性。因此,组蛋白相对于重要调控DNA序列的位置和组蛋白-DNA接触的强度可以隐藏或暴露提供另一层基因调控的基因。在染色质中,组蛋白和DNA均可被化学修饰(Zhou等,2010 ;Schübeler ,2015)。根据修饰的物理性质,染色质状态可以阻止或增强基础基因的转录(Kouzarides ,2007; Yang等,2014; Wu等,2015)。在植物中,染色质的表观遗传状态已被证明是响应发育或环境刺激的基因表达的关键决定因素(Yang等人,2014 ; Wu等人,2015 ; ...
