[Abstract] Viral pseudotyped particles (pp) are enveloped virus particles, typically derived from retroviruses or rhabdoviruses, that harbor heterologous envelope glycoproteins on their surface and a genome lacking essential genes. These synthetic viral particles are safer surrogates of native viruses and acquire the tropism and host entry pathway characteristics governed by the heterologous envelope glycoprotein used. They have proven to be very useful tools used in research with many applications, such as enabling the study of entry pathways of enveloped viruses and to generate effective gene-delivery vectors. The basis for their generation lies in the capacity of some viruses, such as murine leukemia virus (MLV), to incorporate envelope glycoproteins of other viruses into a pseudotyped virus ...
[摘要] 病毒假型颗粒（pp）是包膜病毒颗粒，通常来自逆转录病毒或弹状病毒，在其表面上携带异源性包膜糖蛋白和缺乏必需基因的基因组。这些合成的病毒颗粒是天然病毒的更安全的替代品并且获得由所使用的异源性包膜糖蛋白控制的嗜性和宿主进入途径特征。它们已被证明是用于具有许多应用的研究中非常有用的工具，例如使得能够研究包膜病毒的进入途径并产生有效的基因递送载体。它们的产生的基础在于一些病毒如鼠白血病病毒（MLV）的能力，以将其他病毒的包膜糖蛋白掺入假型病毒颗粒中。这些可以被工程化以包含报道基因例如荧光素酶，使得能够在易感细胞的假型粒子感染时定量病毒进入事件。在这里，我们详细说明使用中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒（MERS-CoV）尖峰（S）作为待并入的异源包膜糖蛋白的实例，能够产生基于MLV的假型包装颗粒的方案。我们还描述了这些颗粒如何用于感染易感细胞并通过荧光素酶测定进行定量感染性读数。

[Abstract] This protocol aims to evaluate folding status of proteins, utilizing peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase) sensitivity. In the cytosol, PNGase works as a deglycosylation-enzyme. N-glycans on unfolded/misfolded proteins are more susceptible to PNGase than N-glycans on folded proteins because of the preference of PNGase to non-native proteins. PNGase is endogenously expressed in various cell types, including HCT116 cells, DT40 cells and mouse embryonic fibroblast cells. Partial deglycosylation by PNGase can be detected by faster migration of band in SDS-PAGE. You can compare tightness of the folding among wild-type and mutant proteins of interest. This method can be used with regular molecular and cell biology equipment, but applied only to glycoproteins.
[摘要] 该协议旨在评估蛋白质的折叠状态，利用肽：N-聚糖酶（PNGase）灵敏度。 在细胞质中，PNGase作为去糖基化酶。 由于PNG酶对非天然蛋白的偏好，解折叠/错折叠蛋白上的N-聚糖比折叠蛋白上的N-聚糖更易受PNG酶的影响。 PNGase在多种细胞类型中内源表达，包括HCT116细胞，DT40细胞和小鼠胚胎成纤维细胞。 通过PNGase的部分去糖基化可以通过在SDS-PAGE中更快的条带迁移来检测。 您可以比较感兴趣的野生型和突变蛋白之间折叠的紧密度。 该方法可以与常规的分子和细胞生物学设备一起使用，但仅应用于糖蛋白。

[Abstract] This protocol aims to evaluate folding status of proteins, utilizing trypsin sensitivity. Unfolded/misfolded proteins are more susceptible to trypsin than folded proteins, because trypsin easily accesses and cleaves loosely folded parts of proteins. This method is especially useful to compare tightness of the folding among wild-type and mutant proteins. As trypsin generally cleaves a peptide bond at the carboxyl-terminal side of the amino acids lysine or arginine, this method can be used to analyze the folding status of different types of proteins such as integral membrane or soluble proteins (Ninagawa et al., 2015) and is applicable to cell lysates of any species and tissues as well as to recombinant proteins. You can use this technique with regular molecular and cell biology ...
[摘要] 该协议旨在评估蛋白质的折叠状态，利用胰蛋白酶敏感性。 由于胰蛋白酶容易进入和切割松散折叠的蛋白质部分，展开的/错误折叠的蛋白质比折叠的蛋白质更易于胰蛋白酶。 这种方法特别适用于比较野生型和突变型蛋白质之间折叠的紧密度。 由于胰蛋白酶通常在氨基酸赖氨酸或精氨酸的羧基末端侧切割肽键，所以该方法可用于分析不同类型蛋白质如整合膜或可溶性蛋白质的折叠状态（Ninagawa等，2015 ），适用于任何物种和组织以及重组蛋白的细胞裂解物。 您可以使用这种技术与常规分子和细胞生物学设备。
