[Abstract]  A viral vector that can safely and efficiently deliver large and diverse molecular cargos into cells is the holy grail of curing many human diseases. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) has been extensively used but has a very small capacity. The prokaryotic virus T4 has a large capacity but lacks natural mechanisms to enter mammalian cells. Here, we created a hybrid vector by combining T4 and AAV into one nanoparticle that possesses the advantages of both. The small 25 nm AAV particles are attached to the large 120 nm x 86 nm T4 head through avidin-biotin cross-bridges using the phage decoration proteins Soc (small outer capsid protein) and Hoc (highly antigenic outer capsid protein). AAV thus “piggy-backed” on T4 capsid, by virtue of its natural ability to enter many types of human cells ... [摘要]  [摘要 ] 一种病毒载体,可以安全有效地将大量多样的分子货物运送到细胞中 是治愈许多人类疾病的圣杯。腺伴随病毒(AAV)已被广泛使用,但容量很小。T4原核病毒容量大,但缺乏进入哺乳动物细胞的天然机制。在这里,我们通过将T4和AAV结合到一个具有两者优势的纳米颗粒中,创建了一种杂交载体。使用噬菌体修饰蛋白Soc(小的外衣壳蛋白)和Hoc(高度抗原化的外衣壳蛋白),通过亲和素-生物素交叉桥将25 nm的AAV小颗粒连接到120 nm x 86 nm的大T4头上。因此,AAV凭借其固有的进入多种类型人体细胞的自然能力,可以“背负”于T4衣壳上,从而有效地充当了“驱动器”,以运送与T4头相关的大型货物。这种独特的T4-AAV杂交载体方法可为将来开发新型疗法铺平道路。

[背景 ] 已经有新的和有效的递送载体能够运输基因和蛋白质的大货物进入人类细胞,以刺激生产治疗性生物分子的和/或修复的细胞和遗传缺陷的迫切需要。这样的载体将允许将快速出现的技术(例如CRISPR,CAR T细胞等)转化为用于大规模应用以及个性化医学的疗法(Stewart 等,2016)。

将具有不同特性的纳米粒子组装到杂化复合物中是开发新型功能材料的有力策略,因为这些杂化复合物显示出集体和协作的属性,其中某些属性可能与单个粒子所显示的属性不同(Ghosh 等人,2012; ...

Single-step Precision Genome Editing in Yeast Using CRISPR-Cas9

[Abstract]  Genome modification in budding yeast has been extremely successful largely due to its highly efficient homology-directed DNA repair machinery. Several methods for modifying the yeast genome have previously been described, many of them involving at least two-steps: insertion of a selectable marker and substitution of that marker for the intended modification. Here, we describe a CRISPR-Cas9 mediated genome editing protocol for modifying any yeast gene of interest (either essential or nonessential) in a single-step transformation without any selectable marker. In this system, the Cas9 nuclease creates a double-stranded break at the locus of choice, which is typically lethal in yeast cells regardless of the essentiality of the targeted locus due to inefficient non-homologous end-joining ... [摘要]  芽殖酵母中的基因组修饰已经非常成功,主要归功于其高度同源性的DNA修复机制。之前已经描述了几种用于修饰酵母基因组的方法,其中许多方法涉及至少两个步骤:插入选择标记并用该标记取代预期的修饰。在这里,我们描述了CRISPR-Cas9介导的基因组编辑方案,用于在没有任何选择标记的情况下在单步转化中修饰任何感兴趣的酵母基因(基本或非必需)。在该系统中,Cas9核酸酶在选择的基因座处产生双链断裂,这在酵母细胞中通常是致死的,而不管由于无效的非同源末端连接修复导致的靶基因座的重要性。该致死性通过使用源自PCR的修复模板的同源重组导致有效的修复。在涉及必需基因的情况下,用功能性等位基因编辑基因组病变的必要性作为额外的选择层。作为一个激励性的例子,我们描述了使用这种策略替代HEM2,一种必需的酵母基因,以及相应的人类直向同源物ALAD。

【背景】酿酒酵母(Baccharomyces cerevisiae,Baker's酵母)作为一种遗传易处理的生物体具有悠久的历史,并且有许多操作酵母基因组的方法。然而,直到最近,有必要应用选择以分离具有所需遗传改变的克隆(Kearse等人,2012; DiCarlo等人,2013; Lee等人,等,2015; ...

[Abstract]  Since the first discovery of badnaviruses (family Caulimoviridae, genus Badnavirus) in yam (Dioscorea spp.) germplasm in the 1970s (Harrison and Roberts, 1973), several hundred partial badnavirus reverse transcriptase (RT)-ribonuclease H (RNaseH) sequences have been characterised (Kenyon et al., 2008; Bousalem et al., 2009), but only a few complete Dioscorea bacilliform virus (DBV) genome sequences have been reported (Phillips et al., 1999; Seal and Muller, 2007; Bömer et al., 2016 and 2017; Sukal et al., 2017; Umber et al., 2017). We have optimised a workflow involving total nucleic acid extractions and rolling circle amplification (RCA) combined with restriction enzyme analysis for the detection ... [摘要]  自二十世纪七十年代山药(Dioscorea spp。)种质中首次发现坏病毒属(家庭花椰菜科,属于病毒属)之后(Harrison和Roberts, 1973),已经表征了数百个部分坏死病毒逆转录酶(RT) - 核糖核酸酶H(RNaseH)序列(Kenyon等人,2008; Bousalem等人,2009年),但仅有少数几种完整的Dioscorea杆状病毒(DBV)基因组序列已被报道(Phillips等,1999; Seal和Muller,2007;Bömer等, 2016和2017; Sukal等人,2017; Umber等人,2017)。我们优化了总核酸提取和滚环扩增(RCA)结合限制性酶分析的工作流程,以检测和扩增山药种质中存在的DBV。我们已经使用这种方法成功地揭示了三种新型附加体阴性坏死病毒(Bömer等人,2016年)。我们提出这是变性梯度凝胶电泳的补充方法,其能够快速指示坏死病毒多样性以及在宿主基因组中鉴定潜在整合的坏死病毒序列(Turaki等人,2017年) )。在这里,我们描述了一步一步的方案来筛选山药种质的坏死病毒感染使用RCA作为一个有效的研究工具,在扩增和表征的新型坏死病毒基因组。

【背景】RCA是经常用于扩增环状DNA病毒基因组的序列无关的策略(Rector等人,2004)。 Phi29聚合酶介导的RCA技术用于(i)检测新型病毒; ...
