Strength in numbers: quantitative single‐molecule RNA detection assays
UNLABELLED Gene expression is a fundamental process that underlies development, homeostasis, and behavior of organisms. The fact that it relies on nucleic acid intermediates, which can specifically interact with complementary probes, provides an excellent opportunity for studying the multiple steps--transcription, RNA processing, transport, translation, degradation, and so forth--through which ...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of single-molecule RNA-protein interaction.
RNA-binding proteins impact gene expression at the posttranscriptional level by interacting with cognate cis elements within the transcripts. Here, we apply dynamic single-molecule force spectroscopy to study the interaction of the Arabidopsis glycine-rich RNA-binding protein AtGRP8 with its RNA target. A dwell-time-dependent analysis of the single-molecule data in combination with competition ...
متن کاملFast quantitative single-molecule detection at ultralow concentrations.
The applicability of single-molecule fluorescence assays in liquids is limited by diffusion to concentrations in the low picomolar range. Here, we demonstrate quantitative single-molecule detection at attomolar concentrations within 1 min by excitation and detection of fluorescence through a single-mode optical fiber in presence of turbulent flow. The combination of high detectability and short...
متن کاملSingle-molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization: Quantitative imaging of single RNA molecules
In situ detection of RNAs is becoming increasingly important for analysis of gene expression within and between intact cells in tissues. International genomics efforts are now cataloging patterns of RNA transcription that play roles in cell function, differentiation, and disease formation, and they are demonstrating the importance of coding and noncoding RNA transcripts in these processes. Howe...
متن کاملSingle-Molecule Biophysical Assays With Electrokinetics
Brownian dynamics-based estimates of polymer tension are compared with optical traps’ direct force measurements. We suspended phalloidin-stabilized, actin filaments between two beads. The positions of the beads were controlled with optical traps facilitating direct measurement of the forces acting on the beads. The lateral, thermal fluctuations of each filament were visualized with a video came...
