このプロトコルは、特定の大腸菌の充電レベルを同時に測定する方法をについて説明します Trna と異なったサンプルの Trna の相対的なレベルを比較します。1) 携帯電話の tRNA 充電レベルが保持されます、tRNA は、異なったサンプルの相対的な tRNA のレベルを確実に比較できる、そのような方法で数量を正規化するには 2) と 3) sp を確実にこのような方法でサンプルを処理するプロトコル...

以下では、特定の Trna の定量化手法を提案し、北にしみが付くことによってレベルに充電を測定します。最初 Varshneyらが開発した技術に基づく1。 トリクロロ酢酸 (TCA) に細胞を収穫し、RNA 精製中の 0 の ° C でサンプルを維持する、tRNA とアミノ酸のエステル結合が保存された2,3,4。Aminoacylated Trna で区別できる nonacylated 対応ゲル電気泳動とブロッティング、ため、aminoacylated の減少移動する共有結合アミノ酸5によるゲルの tRNA。さらに、使用頻度の低い tRNAselC 4を過剰発現細胞のスパイクの添加 tRNA の量の正規化のためのプロトコルを提案する.
細菌の細胞の翻訳機械の絶対に不可欠な部分の最も豊富な分子である Trna。Trna はアミノ酸をバインドし、翻訳のリボゾームにそれらを転送します。Trna のアミノアシル化 (充電) するためにアミノ酸の結合は、アミノアシル tRNA シンテターゼによって促進されます。別の充電された Trna の相対的な豊かさはタンパク質合成の忠実性を確保するため重要な同系の過少請求指定されたメッセンジャー RNA (mRNA) コドンの tRNA 同系近く tRNA がされる可能性が高くなりますので誤ってそのアミノ酸をリボソーム6成長ポリペプチド鎖に配信します。充電された tRNA の重要性は、tRNA; の充電レベルの深刻な低下にエシェリヒア属大腸菌細胞の広範な応答に反映されます。厳格な応答です。厳格な応答時に Trna、リボソーム Rna とほとんど Mrna の合成はアミノ酸の生合成やストレスの生存に関連付けられている特定の Mrna の転写を支持して低下され、細胞の成長率を劇的に下げた7.さらに、われわれや他の最近の作品は、大腸菌が tRNA レベルの調整可能性があることを示唆している制限する翻訳4,8ストレスへの応答で、tRNA の大半を積極的に劣化することを示しています。このようなストレスに対処するために重要です。したがって、tRNA 微量含有量と充電レベルの信頼性の高い計測は完全に細菌のストレス反応を理解するための重要なツールになります。
エシェリヒア属大腸菌組換え蛋白質を表現する使用され、種のコドン使用の違い、最適な表現はしばしば直面する問題9。これは組換え mRNA10を変換に必要な追加の Trna の式によって回避できます。TRNA のような株のレベルを充電の測定ことができるトラブルシューティングの努力を導くし、蛋白質の表現を最適化するため。
このメソッドは、また"mischarging"の検出を可能にします。非同種のアミノ酸を tRNA 分子 aminoacylated。種類のアミノ酸によってアミノアシル化は、ポリアクリルアミドゲル1,11をわずかに異なる速度で移行する tRNA を引き起こす可能性があります。いくつかのケースでは、そうでなければ同じ Trna3異なる修飾パターンを区別するためにメソッドを使用できます。
別は、tRNA の充電レベルの調査は酸化を過ヨウ素酸の生化学的なプロシージャを設立しました。メソッドは、tRNA から保護 aminoacylated に酸化が過ヨウ素酸中性 tRNA ではない観察に依存します。後、酸化処理収穫された RNA の充電レベルの見積もりに使用、tRNA の充電過ヨウ素酸します。しかし、このようにいくつかの不正確さ12を提供する治療によって影響を受けるいくつかの Trna の充電を示されています。メソッドは、浄化された RNA から直接充電、化学か酵素の反応からどんな先入観を排除対策を紹介しました。このメソッドの制限の 1 つは時間がかかり、やや多く Trna のデータを収集するは面倒だが、同じ北のしみの除去および複数の Trna の reprobed できるように、時だけ 1 つの tRNA 種が検出されました。
互いにサンプルの正規化の信頼性の高い方法は、異なるサンプルの間で分子の相対的なレベルを比較することの研究で不可欠です。ここまれな tRNAselCを過剰発現大腸菌細胞の小さい因数のスパイクでとしての RNA の浄化の前にすべての実験サンプルに追加されます RNA の正規化の手順を紹介します。このメソッドは、Trna を調べるときだけでなく、RNA の任意の種の相対的な定量化のためのすべてのサンプルで同じ細胞濃度で提示実験のセットアップがこのような内因性 RNA がないする信頼できる便利です。たとえば、「ハウスキーピング」RNA のようなリボソーム RNA レベルは別の RNA 間の相対的な量を比較する内因性参照サンプル13、によく使用されます。しかし、これは少し使用の参照 RNA の細胞濃度のサンプル間の相違ストレス応答15,16,17中または中にサンプリングが発生した場合、リボソーム RNA のためのケースをすることができます。固定相17へ参入。スパイクで細胞の RNA の浄化の前に実験サンプルへの添加は、正規化サンプリング設定の独立の堅実で正確な方法を提供します。標準化の別の方法は、RNA 精製後 1 つまたは複数のスパイクで Rna の実験サンプルに追加です。ただし、このメソッドは、サンプルの RNA の回復の違いについては考慮しません。
エシェリヒア属大腸菌細胞を用いた大腸菌の実験でスパイクの細胞 (図 1を参照) として参照 RNA が欠点があるその過剰さらに外因性大腸菌の少量の合計する RNA、サンプル。我々 はスパイクでのみセル (参照図 2,の車線「selC」というラベルの付いたしみ北) 実験サンプルと並行を含むサンプルを分析することによりこのほかの修正します。提示プロトコルエシェリヒア属大腸菌K-12 の開発がほとんどの細菌種に適用する可能性があります。

quantification of the abundance and charging levels of transfer rnas in escherichia coli

トランスファー RNA (tRNA) は、あらゆる有機体の並進機械の重要な部分です。Trna はバインドし、アミノ酸をリボソーム翻訳に転送します。別の Trna の相対的なレベルと aminoacylated の比を合計 tRNA、充電レベルとして知られている tRNA が精度と翻訳のスピードを決める重要な要素。したがって、豊かさと Trna の充電レベルは、たとえば種々 の応力条件下でのタンパク質合成の勉強を測定する重要な変数です。ここでは、tRNA を収穫し、相対的な豊かさと大腸菌における特定の tRNA 種の絶対的な充電レベルを直接測定する方法をについて説明します。TRNA は、tRNA とアミノ酸の間不安定な結合が維持されることそのような方法で収穫されます。RNA ゲル電気泳動および北しみが付くこと、充電、非荷電の Trna の分離の結果にさらされます。正規化のためのスパイクの細胞のための異なるサンプルで特定の Trna のレベルを比較できます。RNA 精製の前に、各サンプルにまれな tRNAselCの過剰大腸菌細胞の 5% を追加します。サンプルの興味の tRNA 種の量は、同じサンプルの tRNAselCの量に正規化されます。スパイクで細胞の RNA の浄化前の追加サンプルのセル換散の効率の違いも占める浄化されたスパイクで Rna のさらに利点があります。

Directed Protein Packaging within Outer Membrane Vesicles from Escherichia coli: Design, Production and Purification

An increasing interest in applying synthetic biology techniques to program outer membrane vesicles (OMV) are leading to some very interesting and unique applications for OMV where traditional nanoparticles are proving too difficult to synthesize. To date, all Gram-negative bacteria have been shown to produce OMV demonstrating packaging of a variety of cargo that includes small molecules, peptides, proteins and genetic material. Based on their diverse cargo, OMV are implicated in many biological processes ranging from cell-cell communication to gene transfer and delivery of virulence factors depending upon which bacteria are producing the OMV. Only recently have bacterial OMV become accessible for use across a wide range of applications through the development of techniques to control and direct packaging of recombinant proteins into OMV. This protocol describes a method for the production, purification, and use of enzyme packaged OMV providing for improved overall production of recombinant enzyme, increased vesiculation, and enhanced enzyme stability. Successful utilization of this protocol will result in the creation of a bacterial strain that simultaneously produces a recombinant protein and directs it for OMV encapsulation through creating a synthetic linkage between the recombinant protein and an outer membrane anchor protein. This protocol also details methods for isolating OMV from bacterial cultures as well as proper handling techniques and things to consider when adapting this protocol for use for other unique applications such as: pharmaceutical drug delivery, medical diagnostics, and environmental remediation.

Detection of the pH-dependent Activity of Escherichia coli Chaperone HdeB In Vitro and In Vivo

Bacteria are frequently exposed to environmental changes, such as alterations in pH, temperature, redox status, light exposure or mechanical force. Many of these conditions cause protein unfolding in the cell and have detrimental impact on the survival of the organism. A group of unrelated, stress-specific molecular chaperones have been shown to play essential roles in the survival of these stress conditions. While fully folded and chaperone-inactive before stress, these proteins rapidly unfold and become chaperone-active under specific stress conditions. Once activated, these conditionally disordered chaperones bind to a large number of different aggregation-prone proteins, prevent their aggregation and either directly or indirectly facilitate protein refolding upon return to non-stress conditions. The primary approach for gaining a more detailed understanding about the mechanism of their activation and client recognition involves the purification and subsequent characterization of these proteins using in vitro chaperone assays. Follow-up in vivo stress assays are absolutely essential to independently confirm the obtained in vitro results.
This protocol describes in vitro and in vivo methods to characterize the chaperone activity of E. coli HdeB, an acid-activated chaperone. Light scattering measurements were used as a convenient read-out for HdeB&#39;s capacity to prevent acid-induced aggregation of an established model client protein, MDH, in vitro. Analytical ultracentrifugation experiments were applied to reveal complex formation between HdeB and its client protein LDH, to shed light into the fate of client proteins upon their return to non-stress conditions. Enzymatic activity assays of the client proteins were conducted to monitor the effects of HdeB on pH-induced client inactivation and reactivation. Finally, survival studies were used to monitor the influence of HdeB&#39;s chaperone function in vivo.

Detection of the pH-dependent Activity of Escherichia coli Chaperone HdeB In Vitro and In Vivo

This study describes biophysical, biochemical and molecular techniques to characterize the chaperone activity of Escherichia coli HdeB under acidic pH conditions. These methods have been successfully applied for other acid-protective chaperones such as HdeA and can be modified to work for other chaperones and stress conditions.

Quantification of Hypopigmentation Activity In Vitro

This study presents laboratory methods for the quantification of hypopigmentation activity in vitro. Melanin, the major pigment in melanocytes, is synthesized in response to multiple cellular and environmental factors. Melanin protects skin cells from ultraviolet damage, but also has biophysical and biochemical functions. Excessive production or accumulation of melanin in melanocytes can cause dermatological problems, such as freckles, dark spots, melasma, and moles. Therefore, the control of melanogenesis with hypopigmentation agents is important in individuals with clinical or cosmetic needs. Melanin is primarily synthesized in the melanosomes of melanocytes in a complex biochemical process called melanogenesis, which is influenced by extrinsic and intrinsic factors, such as hormones, inflammation, age, and ultraviolet light exposure. We describe three methods to determine the hypopigmentation activity of chemicals or natural substances in melanocytes: measurement of the 1) cellular tyrosinase activity and 2) melanin content, and 3) staining and quantifying cellular melanin with image analysis.
In melanogenesis, tyrosinase catalyzes the rate-limiting step that converts L-tyrosine into 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) and then into dopaquinone. Therefore, the inhibition of tyrosinase is a primary hypopigmentation mechanism. In cultured melanocytes, tyrosinase activity can be quantified by adding L-DOPA as a substrate and measuring dopaquinone production by spectrophotometry. Melanogenesis can also be measured by quantifying the melanin content. The melanin-containing cellular fraction is extracted with NaOH and melanin is quantified spectrophotometrically. Finally, the melanin content can be quantified by image analysis following Fontana-Masson staining of melanin. Although the results of these in vitro assays may not always be reproduced in human skin, these methods are widely used in melanogenesis research, especially as the initial step to identify potential hypopigmentation activity. These methods can also be used to assess melanocyte activity, growth, and differentiation. Consistent results with the three different methods ensure the validity of the effects.

We describe three experimental methods for evaluating the hypopigmentation activity of chemicals in vitro: quantification of 1) cellular tyrosinase activity and 2) melanin content, and 3) measurement of melanin by cellular melanin staining and image analysis.

Large-scale Production of Recombinant RNAs on a Circular Scaffold Using a Viroid-derived System in Escherichia coli

With increasing interest in RNA biology and the use of RNA molecules in sophisticated biotechnological applications, the methods to produce large amounts of recombinant RNAs are limited. Here, we describe a protocol to produce large amounts of recombinant RNA in Escherichia coli based on co-expression of a chimeric molecule that contains the RNA of interest in a viroid scaffold and a plant tRNA ligase. Viroids are relatively small, non-coding, highly base-paired circular RNAs that are infectious to higher plants. The host plant tRNA ligase is an enzyme recruited by viroids that belong to the family Avsunviroidae, such as Eggplant latent viroid (ELVd), to mediate RNA circularization during viroid replication. Although ELVd does not replicate in E. coli, an ELVd precursor is efficiently transcribed by the E. coli RNA polymerase and processed by the embedded hammerhead ribozymes in bacterial cells, and the resulting monomers are circularized by the co-expressed tRNA ligase reaching a remarkable concentration. The insertion of an RNA of interest into the ELVd scaffold enables the production of tens of milligrams of the recombinant RNA per liter of bacterial culture in regular laboratory conditions. A main fraction of the RNA product is circular, a feature that facilitates the purification of the recombinant RNA to virtual homogeneity. In this protocol, a complementary DNA (cDNA) corresponding to the RNA of interest is inserted in a particular position of the ELVd cDNA in an expression plasmid that is used, along the plasmid to co-express eggplant tRNA ligase, to transform E. coli. Co-expression of both molecules under the control of strong constitutive promoters leads to production of large amounts of the recombinant RNA. The recombinant RNA can be extracted from the bacterial cells and separated from the bulk of bacterial RNAs taking advantage of its circularity.

Site-Directed Mutagenesis for In Vitro and In Vivo Experiments Exemplified with RNA Interactions in Escherichia Coli

Site-directed mutagenesis is a technique used to introduce specific mutations in DNA to investigate the interaction between small non-coding ribonucleic acid (sRNA) molecules and target messenger RNAs (mRNAs). In addition, site-directed mutagenesis is used to map specific protein binding sites to RNA. A 2-step and 3-step PCR based introduction of mutations is described. The approach is relevant to all protein-RNA and RNA-RNA interaction studies. In short, the technique relies on designing primers with the desired mutation(s), and through 2 or 3 steps of PCR synthesizing a PCR product with the mutation. The PCR product is then used for cloning. Here, we describe how to perform site-directed mutagenesis with both the 2- and 3-step approach to introduce mutations to the sRNA, McaS, and the mRNA, csgD, to investigate RNA-RNA and RNA-protein interactions. We apply this technique to investigate RNA interactions; however, the technique is applicable to all mutagenesis studies (e.g., DNA-protein interactions, amino-acid substitution/deletion/addition). It is possible to introduce any kind of mutation except for non-natural bases but the technique is only applicable if a PCR product can be used for downstream application (e.g., cloning and template for further PCR).

Use of Alu Element Containing Minigenes to Analyze Circular RNAs

In addition to linear mRNAs, many eukaryotic genes generate circular RNAs. Most circular RNAs are generated by joining a 5&#39; splice site with an upstream 3&#39; splice site within a pre-mRNA, a process called back-splicing. This circularization is likely aided by secondary structures in the pre-mRNA that bring the splice sites into close proximity. In human genes, Alu elements are thought to promote these secondary RNA structures, as Alu elements are abundant and exhibit base complementarities with each other when present in opposite directions in the pre-mRNA. Here, we describe the generation and analysis of large, Alu element containing reporter genes that form circular RNAs. Through optimization of cloning protocols, reporter genes with up to 20 kb insert length can be generated. Their analysis in co-transfection experiments allows the identification of regulatory factors. Thus, this method can identify RNA sequences and cellular components involved in circular RNA formation.

Use of Alu Element Containing Minigenes to Analyze Circular RNAs

We clone and analyze reporter genes generating circular RNAs. These reporter genes are larger than constructs to analyze linear splicing and contain Alu elements. To investigate the circular RNAs, the constructs are transfected into cells and resulting RNA is analyzed using RT-PCR after removal of linear RNA.

Synthesis of a Deuterated Standard for the Quantification of 2-Arachidonoylglycerol in Caenorhabditis elegans

This work presents a method to prepare an analytical standard to analyze 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) qualitatively and quantitatively by liquid chromatography-electrospray Ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). Endocannabinoids are conserved lipid mediators that regulate multiple biological processes in a variety of organisms. In C. elegans, 2-AG has been found to possess different roles, including modulation of dauer formation and cholesterol metabolism. This report describes a method to overcome the difficulties associated with the costs and stability of deuterated standards required for 2-AG quantification. The procedure for the synthesis of the standard is simple and can be performed in any laboratory, without the need for organic synthesis expertise or special equipment. In addition, a modification of Folch&#39;s method to extract the deuterated standard from C. elegans culture is described. Finally, a quantitative and analytic method to detect 2-AG using the stable isotopically labeled analog 1-AG-d5 is described, which provides reliable results in a fast-chromatographic run. The procedure is useful for studying the multiple roles of 2-AG in C. elegans while also being applicable to other studies of metabolites in different organisms.

Characterization of Membrane Transporters by Heterologous Expression in E. coli and Production of Membrane Vesicles

Several methods have been developed to functionally characterize novel membrane transporters. Polyamines are ubiquitous in all organisms, but polyamine exchangers in plants have not been identified. Here, we outline a method to characterize polyamine antiporters using membrane vesicles generated from the lysis of Escherichia coli cells heterologously expressing a plant antiporter. First, we heterologously expressed AtBAT1 in an E. coli strain deficient in polyamine and arginine exchange transporters. Vesicles were produced using a French press, purified by ultracentrifugation and utilized in a membrane filtration assay of labeled substrates to demonstrate the substrate specificity of the transporter. These assays demonstrated that AtBAT1 is a proton-mediated transporter of arginine, &#947;-aminobutyric acid (GABA), putrescine and spermidine. The mutant strain that was developed for the assay of AtBAT1 may be useful for the functional analysis of other families of plant and animal polyamine exchangers. We also hypothesize that this approach can be used to characterize many other types of antiporters, as long as these proteins can be expressed in the bacterial cell membrane. E. coli is a good system for the characterization of novel transporters, since there are multiple methods that can be employed to mutagenize native transporters.

Quantification of Protein Interaction Network Dynamics using Multiplexed Co-Immunoprecipitation

Dynamic protein-protein interactions control cellular behavior, from motility to DNA replication to signal transduction. However, monitoring dynamic interactions among multiple proteins in a protein interaction network is technically difficult. Here, we present a protocol for Quantitative Multiplex Immunoprecipitation (QMI), which allows quantitative assessment of fold changes in protein interactions based on relative fluorescence measurements of Proteins in Shared Complexes detected by Exposed Surface epitopes (PiSCES). In QMI, protein complexes from cell lysates are immunoprecipitated onto microspheres, and then probed with a labeled antibody for a different protein in order to quantify the abundance of PiSCES. Immunoprecipitation antibodies are conjugated to different MagBead spectral regions, which allows a flow cytometer to differentiate multiple parallel immunoprecipitations and simultaneously quantify the amount of probe antibody associated with each. QMI does not require genetic tagging and can be performed using minimal biomaterial compared to other immunoprecipitation methods. QMI can be adapted for any defined group of interacting proteins, and has thus far been used to characterize signaling networks in T cells and neuronal glutamate synapses. Results have led to new hypothesis generation with potential diagnostic and therapeutic applications. This protocol includes instructions to perform QMI, from the initial antibody panel selection through to running assays and analyzing data. The initial assembly of a QMI assay involves screening antibodies to generate a panel, and empirically determining an appropriate lysis buffer. The subsequent reagent preparation includes covalently coupling immunoprecipitation antibodies to MagBeads, and biotinylating probe antibodies so they can be labeled by a streptavidin-conjugated fluorophore. To run the assay, lysate is mixed with MagBeads overnight, and then beads are divided and incubated with different probe antibodies, and then a fluorophore label, and read by flow cytometry. Two statistical tests are performed to identify PiSCES that differ significantly between experimental conditions, and results are visualized using heatmaps or node-edge diagrams.

Quantitative Multiplex Immunoprecipitation (QMI) uses flow cytometry for sensitive detection of differences in the abundance of targeted protein-protein interactions between two samples. QMI can be performed using a small amount of biomaterial, does not require genetically engineered tags, and can be adapted for any previously defined protein interaction network.

Quantification of Coenzyme A in Cells and Tissues

Emerging research has revealed that the cellular coenzyme A (CoA) supply can become limiting with a detrimental impact on growth, metabolism and survival. Measurement of cellular CoA is a challenge due to its relatively low abundance and the dynamic conversion of free CoA to CoA thioesters that, in turn, participate in numerous metabolic reactions. A method is described that navigates through potential pitfalls during sample preparation to yield an assay with a broad linear range of detection that is suitable for use in many biomedical laboratories.

This method describes sample preparation from cultured cells and animal tissues, extraction and derivatization of coenzyme A in the samples, followed by high pressure liquid chromatography for purification and quantification of the derivatized coenzyme A by absorbance or fluorescence detection.
