[Abstract]  

The genus Flavivirus within the family Flaviviridae includes many viral species of medical importance, such as yellow fever virus (YFV), Zika virus (ZIKV), and dengue virus (DENV), among others. Presently, the identification of flavivirus-infected cells is based on either the immunolabeling of viral proteins, the application of recombinant reporter replicons and viral genomes, or the use of cell-based molecular reporters of the flaviviral protease NS2B-NS3 activity. Among the latter, our flavivirus-activatable GFP and mNeptune reporters contain a quenching peptide (QP) joined to the fluorescent protein by a linker consisting of a cleavage site for the flavivirus NS2B-NS3 proteases (AAQRRGRIG). When the viral protease cleaves the linker, the quenching peptide is removed, and the

[摘要]  [摘要]本属黄病毒家族中的黄病毒包括医学重要性许多病毒种类,如黄热病病毒(YFV),寨卡病毒(ZIKV)和登革热病毒(DENV),等等。目前,黄病毒感染细胞的鉴定是基于病毒蛋白的免疫标记,重组报告子复制子和病毒基因组的应用,或黄病毒蛋白酶NS2B-NS3活性的基于细胞的分子报告子的使用。在后者中,我们的黄病毒可激活的GFP和mNeptune报道分子含有通过接头连接到荧光蛋白的淬灭肽(QP),该接头由黄病毒NS2B - NS3蛋白酶(AAQRRGRIG)的切割位点组成。当病毒蛋白酶切割接头时,淬灭肽被去除,并且荧光蛋白采用促进荧光的构象。在这里,我们提供了用于表达,选择和实施表达黄病毒基因编码分子报告子的稳定BHK-21细胞的详细协议,适用于通过活细胞成像监测病毒感染。我们还将描述图像分析过程并提供所需的软件管道。我们的报告细胞允许通过活细胞成像对黄病毒的参考菌株和天然菌株实施单细胞感染动力学以及噬菌斑测定。

[Abstract]  

The molecular mechanisms of P-glycoprotein (P-gp; also known as MDR1 or ABCB1) have been mainly investigated using artificial membranes such as lipid-detergent mixed micelles, artificial lipid bilayers, and membrane vesicles derived from cultured cells. Although these in vitro experiments help illustrate details about the molecular mechanisms of P-gp, they do not reflect physiological membrane environments in terms of lateral pressure, curvature, constituent lipid species, etc. The protocol presented here includes a detailed guide for analyzing the conformational change of human P-gp in living HEK293 cells by using intramolecular fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), in which excitation of the donor fluorophore is transferred to the acceptor without emission of a photon when two

[摘要]  [摘要] P-糖蛋白(P-gp;也称为MDR1或ABCB1)的分子机制已主要使用人造膜进行研究,例如脂质去污剂混合胶束,人造脂质双层和源自培养细胞的膜囊泡。尽管这些体外实验有助于阐明有关P-gp分子机制的细节,但它们在侧向压力,曲率,脂质成分等方面并未反映出生理膜环境。 此处提供的协议包括一个详细的指南,该指南用于通过使用分子内荧光共振能量转移(FRET)分析活HEK293细胞中人P-gp的构象变化,其中供体荧光团的激发被转移到受体上而不发射光子当两个荧光蛋白非常接近时。将FRET分析与膜通透性相结合,可以在活细胞中评估小分子(如核苷酸)对构象变化的贡献。

[背景] P-糖蛋白(P-gp)的是ATP驱动药转运该压出各种疏水有毒化合物到细胞外空间。P-gp由形成底物转运途径的两个跨膜结构域(TMD)和结合并水解ATP的两个核苷酸结合结构域(NBD)组成。传输至少需要两个P-gp状态。在向内(药物转运前)构型中,两个NBD分开,两个TMD向细胞内侧开放;在向外(药物转运)构象中,NBD是二聚体的,而TMD在细胞外侧略微开放(Kodan et al。,2020 )。自从发现P-gp (Juliano和Ling,1976; Chen等,1986; Ueda等,1986 ...
