A Microfluidic Device for Massively Parallel, Whole-lifespan Imaging of Single Fission Yeast Cells

[Abstract]  Whole-lifespan single-cell analysis has greatly increased our understanding of fundamental cellular processes such as cellular aging. To observe individual cells across their entire lifespan, all progeny must be removed from the growth medium, typically via manual microdissection. However, manual microdissection is laborious, low-throughput, and incompatible with fluorescence microscopy. Here, we describe assembly and operation of the multiplexed-Fission Yeast Lifespan Microdissector (multFYLM), a high-throughput microfluidic device for rapidly acquiring single-cell whole-lifespan imaging. multFYLM captures approximately one thousand rod-shaped fission yeast cells from up to six different genetic backgrounds or treatment regimens. The immobilized cells are fluorescently imaged for over a ... [摘要]  整个寿命的单细胞分析极大地增加了我们对细胞老化等基本细胞过程的理解。为了观察整个寿命期间的个体细胞,必须从生长培养基中移除所有后代,通常通过手动显微切割。然而,手动显微切割费力,低通量,并且与荧光显微镜不兼容。在这里,我们描述了多路复用裂变酵母寿命显微解剖器(multFYLM)的组装和操作,这是一种用于快速获取单细胞全寿命成像的高通量微流体装置。 multFYLM从多达六种不同的遗传背景或治疗方案中捕获约一千个杆状裂殖酵母细胞。将固定的细胞荧光成像超过一周,而将子代细胞从装置中取出。得到的数据集产生记录每个细胞复制寿命的高分辨率多通道图像。我们预计multFYLM将广泛适用于裂殖酵母(Schizosaccharomyces pombe)和其他对称分裂的单细胞生物的单细胞整个寿命研究。

【背景】细胞衰老导致细胞功能的累积下降,最终导致死亡。大多数关于细胞衰老的研究侧重于模型单细胞生物的复制寿命,例如出芽酵母酿酒酵母(Nyström和Liu,2014; Wasko和Kaeberlein,2014; Wierman和Smith,2014; Ruetenik和Barrientos ,2015)。细胞的复制寿命(RLS)被定义为母细胞在其生命过程中产生的女儿的数量(Henderson和Gottschling,2008; Sutphin等人,2014)。 ...

Purifying Properly Folded Cysteine-rich, Zinc Finger Containing Recombinant Proteins for Structural Drug Targeting Studies: the CH1 Domain of p300 as a Case Example

[Abstract]  The transcription factor Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF) complexes with the coactivator p300, activating the hypoxia response pathway and allowing tumors to grow. The CH1 and CAD domains of each respective protein form the interface between p300 and HIF. Small molecule compounds are in development that target and inhibit HIF/p300 complex formation, with the goal of reducing tumor growth. High resolution NMR spectroscopy is necessary to study ligand interaction with p300-CH1, and purifying high quantities of properly folded p300-CH1 is needed for pursuing structural and biophysical studies. p300-CH1 has 3 zinc fingers and 9 cysteine residues, posing challenges associated with reagent compatibility and protein oxidation. A protocol has been developed to overcome such issues by incorporating ... [摘要]  与共激活因子p300的转录因子缺氧诱导因子(HIF)复合物,激活缺氧反应途径并允许肿瘤生长。每个相应蛋白质的CH1和CAD结构域形成p300和HIF之间的界面。正在开发靶向和抑制HIF / p300复合物形成的小分子化合物,目的是减少肿瘤生长。研究配体与p300-CH1相互作用的高分辨NMR光谱是必要的,为了进行结构和生物物理学研究,需要净化大量正确折叠的p300-CH1。 p300-CH1具有3个锌指和9个半胱氨酸残基,构成与试剂相容性和蛋白氧化相关的挑战。已经开发了一种通过在表达过程中并入锌并简化纯化时间来克服这些问题的方案,导致适合于结构NMR研究的最佳折叠蛋白质(120mg / 4L表达介质)的高产率。已证实最终重组p300-CH1的结构完整性是使用一维1 H NMR光谱和圆二色性最优的。该方案适用于纯化其他含锌指蛋白质。
【背景】由于不适当的血管灌注,实体瘤的发展与缺氧区的发展有关。对于缺氧微环境,肿瘤细胞过表达低氧诱导因子(HIF),一种异二聚体转录因子家族(Semenza,2002; Brat和Van Meir,2004; Kaur等,2005)。 HIFs结合p300(一种转录共激活因子),形成诱导HIF靶基因的复合物,从而激活缺氧反应途径并促进肿瘤生长(Kasper and Brindle,2006; Liu,2008)。涉及HIF / p300蛋白 ...

Expression and Purification of Mini G Proteins from Escherichia coli

[Abstract]  Heterotrimeric G proteins modulate intracellular signalling by transducing information from cell surface G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to cytoplasmic effector proteins. Structural and functional characterisation of GPCR–G protein complexes is important to fully decipher the mechanism of signal transduction. However, native G proteins are unstable and conformationally dynamic when coupled to a receptor. We therefore developed an engineered minimal G protein, mini-Gs, which formed a stable complex with GPCRs, and facilitated the crystallisation and structure determination of the human adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) in its active conformation. Mini G proteins are potentially useful tools in a variety of applications, including characterising GPCR ... [摘要]  异源三聚体G蛋白通过将细胞表面G蛋白偶联受体(GPCR)的信息转导至细胞质效应蛋白来调节细胞内信号传导。 GPCR-G蛋白复合物的结构和功能表征对于完全破译信号转导机制是重要的。然而,当与受体偶联时,天然G蛋白质是不稳定的并具有构象的动力学。因此,我们开发了一种工程化的最小G蛋白,其与GPCR形成稳定的复合物,促进了人腺苷A 2A受体的结晶和结构测定(A 2AR)的活性构象。 Mini G蛋白是各种应用中潜在有用的工具,包括表征GPCR药理学,结合亲和力和动力学实验,激动剂药物发现和GPCR-G蛋白复合物的结构测定。在这里,我们描述了一个用于表达和纯化mini-G 的详细方案。

我们最近报告了一种工程化的最小G蛋白质(Carpenter和Tate,2016)的开发,其促进了人腺苷A 2A受体的结晶( A 2 R 2)其活性构象(Carpenter等人,2016; Carpenter和Tate,2017)。不同于需要在真核系统中表达的异源三聚体G蛋白质,在大肠杆菌(大肠杆菌)中高度表达微型G蛋白,并且可以可以容易地纯化,每升培养物的产量为50-100mg的mini-G 。在这里,我们描述了早先在Carpenter和Tate(2016)中描述的可以用于前面描述的任何一种迷你G蛋白构建体的表达和纯化的逐步方案(Carpenter等人, ...
