[Abstract]  

Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) controls many crucial cellular functions, including protein synthesis, cell size, energy metabolism, lysosome and mitochondria biogenesis, and autophagy. Consequently, deregulation of mTOR signaling plays a role in numerous pathological conditions such as cancer, metabolic disorders and neurological diseases. Developing new tools to monitor mTOR spatiotemporal activation is crucial to better understand its roles in physiological and pathological conditions. However, the most widely used method to report mTOR activity relies on the quantification of specific mTOR-phosphorylated substrates by western blot. This approach requires cellular lysate preparation, which restricts the quantification to a single time point. Here, we present a simple protocol to

[摘要]雷帕霉素(mTOR的)控制许多重要的细胞功能的哺乳动物靶,包括蛋白合成,细胞大小,能量代谢,溶酶体和线粒体生物发生,和自体吞噬。因此,mTOR信号转导的失调在许多病理状况如癌症,代谢紊乱和神经系统疾病中起作用。开发新的工具来监控mTOR的时空激活关键的是要更好地了解它的作用小号在生理和病理条件。但是,最广泛使用的报告mTOR活性的方法取决于对特定mTOR的定量- 磷酸化底物由瓦特西部时代b很多。这种方法需要细胞裂解物的制备,这限制了量化到一个单一的时间点。在这里,我们提出了一个简单的协议来研究mTOR的在活细胞的活性在实时使用AIMTOR,一个分子内BRET基(b ioluminescence ř esonance Ë NERGY吨转让(BOT))的生物传感器,我们最近设计(Bouquier等人,2020) 。我们描述染的AIMTOR中的C2C12细胞系和程序,以监控BRET在用酶标仪细胞群和单细胞显微镜。重要的是,该协议可转座至任何细胞系和原代细胞。另外,已经开发了几种亚细胞区室特异性的AIMTOR版本,使得能够对mTOR活性进行区室化评估。本协议描述了如何使用的敏感AIMTOR生物传感器研究mTOR信号动力学在活细胞中。

[Abstract]   Cells infected with flavivirus release various forms of infectious and non-infectious particles as products and by-products. Comprehensive profiling of the released particles by density gradient centrifugation is informative for understanding viral particle assembly. However, it is difficult to detect low-abundance minor particles in such analyses. We developed a method for viral particle analysis that integrates a high-sensitivity split luciferase system and density gradient centrifugation. This protocol enables high-resolution profiling of particles produced by cells expressing Japanese encephalitis virus factors. [摘要]  [ 摘要] 黄病毒感染的细胞释放出各种形式的传染性和非传染性颗粒,分别作为产物和副产物。通过密度梯度离心对释放的颗粒进行全面分析,有助于理解病毒颗粒的组装,但是很难检测到低水平的病毒颗粒。我们开发了一种将高灵敏度分裂荧光素酶系统和密度梯度离心相结合的病毒颗粒分析方法,该协议可对表达日本脑炎病毒因子的细胞产生的颗粒进行高分辨率分析。

[ 背景 ] 黄病毒是包括病毒,登革热病毒,西尼罗河病毒,tick传脑炎病毒,寨卡病毒,黄热病病毒和日本脑炎病毒(JEV)在内的一组虫媒病毒,与人类的大量发病和死亡相关( Chambers 等人,1990)。黄病毒具有编码长多肽的单个ORF基因组,该ORF基因组在翻译后被切割成三个结构性(C,prM 和E)和七个非结构性(NS1,NS2A,NS2B,NS3,NS4A)。 ,NS4B和NS5)蛋白通过宿主信号肽酶和NS2B-NS3病毒蛋白酶(Chambers 等,1990)。

由NS5 RNA依赖的RNA聚合酶合成的病毒基因组RNA与C蛋白结合形成核衣壳,然后将其包装在由宿主细胞衍生的脂质膜,病毒prM 和E跨膜蛋白组成的包膜中以形成病毒体。已经发现,缺乏所有结构基因的还原型黄病毒基因组RNA被称为亚基因组复制子,可以在宿主细胞中自我复制(Suzuki ...
