Multiple paramagnetic effects through a tagged reporter protein.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Paramagnetic effects provide unique information about the structure and dynamics of biomolecules. We developed a method in which the lanthanoid tag is not directly attached to the protein of interest, but instead to a "reporter" protein, which binds and then transmits paramagnetic information to the target. The designed method allows access to a large number of paramagnetic restraints and residual dipolar couplings produced from independent molecular alignments in high-molecular-weight proteins with unknown 3D structure.

In vitro Labeling of Neural Stem Cells with Poly-L-Lysine Coated Super Paramagnetic Nanoparticles for Green Fluorescent Protein Transfection
Background: The magnetic nanoparticle-based transfection method is a relatively new technique for delivery of functional genes to target tissues. We aimed to evaluate the transfection efficiency of rat neural stem cell (NSC) using poly-L-lysine hydrobromide (PLL)-coated super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION). Methods: The SPION was prepared and coated with PLL as transfection agent...
متن کاملA New Reporter Gene Technology: Opportunities and Perspectives
The paper summarizes the current status of the reporter gene technology and their basics. Reporter gene technology is widely used to monitor cellular events associated with gene expression and signal transduction. Based upon the splicing of transcriptional control elements to a variety of reporter genes, it “reports” the effects of a cascade of signaling events on gene expression inside cells. ...
متن کاملProtein structure determination with paramagnetic solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
Many structures of the proteins and protein assemblies that play central roles in fundamental biological processes and disease pathogenesis are not readily accessible via the conventional techniques of single-crystal X-ray diffraction and solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). On the other hand, many of these challenging biological systems are suitable targets for atomic-level structu...
متن کاملLocalization to the proteasome is sufficient for degradation.
The majority of unstable proteins in eukaryotic cells are targeted for degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Substrates for degradation are recognized by the E1, E2, and E3 ubiquitin conjugation machinery and tagged with polyubiquitin chains, which are thought to promote the proteolytic process through their binding with the proteasome. We describe a method to bypass the ubiquit...

Background and purpose: Due to the beneficial physiological effects of conjugated linoleic acid (ÇLÂ), there has been a growing tendency to produce it as a functional lipid in recent years. Different ÇLÂ isomers have different physiological effects hence, production of certain ÇLÂ isomers with high purity is of great importance. ÇLÂ can be produced through both chemical and enzymatic methods ...
