Using HEK293T Expression System to Study Photoactive Plant Cryptochromes
Cryptochromes are photolyase-like blue light receptors that are conserved in plants and animals. Although the light-dependent catalytic mechanism of photolyase is well studied, the photochemical mechanism of cryptochromes remains largely unknown. Lack of an appropriate protein expression system to obtain photochemically active cryptochrome holoproteins is a technical obstacle for the study of p...
متن کاملCryptochromes
Most often mentioned by... The protein, cryptochrome, is most often mentioned by circadian biologists. In organisms from cyanobacteria to humans, circadian rhythms are responsible for controlling temporal relationships of cellular, physiological, and behavioral processes and synchronizing these processes with important environmental cues, such as light and temperature. These rhythms are approxi...
متن کاملExpression Analysis of Interferon Beta Level in HEK293T Cells Using Real-Time PCR and Protein Tests
Background: Interferons are some kind of natural cytokines which express in response to a variety of antigens including viral RNA, bacterial products, and tumor proteins. Interferon beta is used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Moreover, this drug inhibits cellular proliferation as well as angiogenesis and as a result, helps to cure cancer. In this research, i...
متن کاملCryptochromes Interact Directly with PIFs to Control Plant Growth in Limiting Blue Light
Sun-loving plants have the ability to detect and avoid shading through sensing of both blue and red light wavelengths. Higher plant cryptochromes (CRYs) control how plants modulate growth in response to changes in blue light. For growth under a canopy, where blue light is diminished, CRY1 and CRY2 perceive this change and respond by directly contacting two bHLH transcription factors, PIF4 and P...
متن کاملA Chimeric NaV1.8 Channel Expression System Based on HEK293T Cell Line
Among the nine voltage-gated sodium channel (NaV) subtypes, NaV1.8 is an attractive therapeutic target for pain. The heterologous expression of recombinant NaV1.8 currents is of particular importance for its electrophysiological and pharmacological studies. However, NaV1.8 expresses no or low-level functional currents when transiently transfected into non-neuronal cell lines. The present study ...
