Requisito previo antes de iniciar el experimento: <ul><li> RNasa libre de agua se utiliza en el manejo de ARN en el laboratorio para reducir el riesgo de ARN siendo degradados por RNasas. Para ello, el agua se trata con v / v 0,1% dietilpirocarbonato (DEPC) durante al menos 1 hora a 37 ° C y luego en autoclave (por lo menos 15 minutos) para inactivar los restos de DEPC. </li><li> Pipetas Pipetman se limpian con una solución descontaminante RNasa (RNasa exterminador, Industria Biológica Beit Haemek) antes de su uso. ...

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

Parásitos protozoarios se encuentran entre los agentes infecciosos más devastadores de los seres humanos responsables de una variedad de enfermedades, incluyendo la amibiasis, la cual es una de las tres causas más comunes de muerte por enfermedades parasitarias. El agente de la amibiasis es la ameba Entamoeba histolytica parásito que existe en dos etapas: el quiste infeccioso en los alimentos o el agua y la vida trofozoíto invasivo en el intestino. Las manifestaciones clínicas de la amebiasis de ser asintomática hasta abscesos colitis, disentería o el hígado. E. histolytica es uno de los raros parásito unicelular con 5-metilcitosina (5mC) en su genoma. 1, 2 contiene un ADN único metiltransferasa, Ehmeth, que pertenece a la familia Dnmt2. 2 El papel de Dnmt2 en el control de elementos repetitivos se ha establecido en E. histolytica, 3 discoideum Dictyostelium 4,5 y Drosophila. 6 Nuestro trabajo reciente ha demostrado que Ehmeth metila tRNA Asp, y este hallazgo indica que esta enzima tiene un ADN de doble / tRNA Asp actividad metiltransferasa. 7 Esta observación está de acuerdo con la doble actividad que se ha informado de D. discoideum y D. melanogaster. 8 La importancia funcional de la especificidad ADN / tRNA de Dnmt2 enzimas es aún desconocido. Para abordar esta cuestión, un método para determinar la actividad de la metiltransferasa tRNA Dnmt2 proteínas se estableció. En este video, se describe un método sencillo para preparar un sustrato adecuado para el tRNA Dnmt2 y un método para medir su actividad tRNA metiltransferasa.
