Nesta apresentação, ilustramos como preparar componentes ativos para a medida da atividade metiltransferase tRNA de E. histolytica enzima Ehmeth. Este procedimento pode servir como um ponto de partida e ser facilmente adaptado para a medida de metiltransferases tRNA outros. É importante seguir os procedimentos que preservem a qualidade ea integridade do substrato tRNA e da proteína tRNA metiltransferase para garantir uma medida óptima da atividade enzimática.

in vitro trna methylation assay with the entamoeba histolytica dna and trna methyltransferase dnmt2 (ehmeth) enzyme

Protozoários estão entre os agentes infecciosos mais devastador dos seres humanos responsáveis ​​por uma variedade de doenças como amebíase, que é uma das três causas mais comuns de morte por doenças parasitárias. O agente de amebíase é a ameba Entamoeba histolytica parasita que existe em duas etapas: o cisto infecciosa encontrada em alimentos ou água e os vivos trofozoíto invasivos no intestino. As manifestações clínicas da amebíase gama de ser assintomática a abscessos disenteria, colite ou fígado. E. histolytica é um dos raros parasitas unicelulares com 5-metilcitosina (5mC) em seu genoma. 1, 2 Ela contém uma única DNA metiltransferase, Ehmeth, que pertence à família Dnmt2. duas Um papel para Dnmt2 no controle de elementos repetitivos tem foram estabelecidas em E. histolytica, 3 Dictyostelium discoideum 4,5 e Drosophila. 6 Nosso trabalho recente mostrou que Ehmeth methylates tRNA Asp, e este achado indica que esta enzima tem um DNA dual / tRNA Asp atividade metiltransferase. 7 Esta observação está de acordo com a atividade dupla que tem sido relatada por D. discoideum e D. melanogaster. 8 O significado funcional da especificidade DNA / tRNA de Dnmt2 enzimas ainda é desconhecida. Para abordar esta questão, um método para determinar a atividade metiltransferase tRNA de Dnmt2 proteínas foi estabelecida. Neste vídeo, descrevemos uma abordagem simples de preparar um substrato adequado para tRNA Dnmt2 e um método para medir sua atividade metiltransferase tRNA.
