[Abstract] All living cells use cyclic nucleotides as second messengers for signal sensing and transduction. Cyclic di-3′,5′-adenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) is primarily involved in the control of bacterial and euryarcheal osmoadaptation and is produced by diadenylate cyclases from two molecules of ATP. Specific phosphodiesterases hydrolyze c-di-AMP to the linear phosphoadenylate adenosine 5′-pApA or to AMP. Different methods including high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and ion exchange chromatography (IEX) can be used to determine activities of c-di-AMP-synthesizing and degrading enzymes. Here, we describe in detail the TLC and IEX methods adapted for characterization of the diadenylate cyclase DisA and the phosphodiesterase AtaC from ...
[摘要] [摘要]所有活细胞均使用环状核苷酸作为第二信使,以进行信号传感和转导。环状二-3 ' ,5 ' -腺苷一磷酸(C-二-AMP)主要涉及细菌和控制euryarcheal osmoadaptation并且由产生diadenylate环化酶从ATP的两个分子。特定的磷酸二酯酶将c-di-AMP水解为线性磷酸腺苷腺苷5'-pApA或AMP。可以使用包括高效液相色谱(HPLC),薄层色谱(TLC)和离子交换色谱(IEX)在内的各种方法来确定c-di-AMP合成和降解酶的活性。在这里,我们详细描述了TLC和IEX方法适合于表征diadenylate环化酶DISA和磷酸二酯酶ATAC从链霉菌venezuelae 。TLC可以快速,轻松地分离放射性标记的底物和产品,而IEX避免了潜在危险的放射性底物的利用,如果没有HPLC系统,则可以用作良好的替代品。与TLC分析不同,无法使用IEX分析并行分析样品,因此更加耗时。

[Abstract] Gene knock-down in plants is a useful approach to study genotype-phenotype relationships, render disease resistance to crops, and enable efficient biosynthesis of molecules in plants. Small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated gene silencing is one of the most common ways to achieve gene knock-down in plants. Traditionally, siRNA is delivered into intact plant cells by coding the siRNA sequences into DNA vectors, which are then delivered through viral and/or bacterial methods. In this protocol, we provide an alternative direct delivery method of siRNA molecules into intact plant cells for efficient transient gene knock-down in model tobacco plant, Nicotiana benthamiana, leaves. Our approach uses one dimensional carbon-based nanomaterials, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), to ...
[摘要] [摘要]植物基因敲低是研究基因型与表型关系,提高作物对病害的抵抗力以及实现植物分子高效生物合成的有用方法。小干扰RNA(siRNA)介导的基因沉默是在植物中实现基因敲低的最常见方法之一。传统上,通过将siRNA序列编码到DNA载体中,将siRNA传递到完整的植物细胞中,然后通过病毒和/或细菌方法传递。在这个协议中,我们提供的siRNA分子的替代直接递送方法为完整的植物细胞的高效瞬时根Ë击倒在模型的烟草植物,烟草本塞姆氏烟草,叶子。我们的方法使用一维碳基纳米材料,单壁碳纳米管(SWNTs)来传递siRNA,而不依赖于病毒/细菌的传递。我们方法的独特优势在于:i )不需要对siRNA序列进行DNA编码; ii)与非生物方法相比,这种非生物方法可在更广泛的植物物种中起作用,并且iii)使用非生物递送时,调节并发症更少方法,其中基因沉默是瞬时的,而无需对植物基因组进行永久性修饰。
