Modules for C-terminal epitope tagging of Tetrahymena genes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although epitope tagging has been widely used for analyzing protein function in many organisms, there are few genetic tools for epitope tagging in Tetrahymena. In this study, we describe several C-terminal epitope tagging modules that can be used to express tagged proteins in Tetrahymena cells by both plasmid- and PCR-based strategies.

Small epitope-linker modules for PCR-based C-terminal tagging in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
PCR-mediated gene modification is a powerful approach to the functional analysis of genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. One application of this method is epitope-tagging of a gene to analyse the corresponding protein by immunological methods. However, the number of epitope tags available in a convenient format is still low, and interference with protein function by the epitope, particularly if i...

Background: Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis are major human pathogens of increasing importance due to the spread of antibiotic resistance. Novel potential targets for therapeutic antibodies are products of staphylococcal genes expressed during human infection. Previously, the secreted and surface-exposed proteins among seroreactive antigens have been discovered. Furthermore...
متن کاملAdditional modules for versatile and economical PCR-based gene deletion and modification in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
An important recent advance in the functional analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes is the development of the one-step PCR-mediated technique for deletion and modification of chromosomal genes. This method allows very rapid gene manipulations without requiring plasmid clones of the gene of interest. We describe here a new set of plasmids that serve as templates for the PCR synthesis of fra...

The present study was aimed to construct a fusion plasmid harboring the extracellular domain of the influenza A M2-protein (M2e), which was fused to the N-terminus of the truncated HSP70 (HSP70359–610) molecule as a new approach for future vaccine research against influenza A. The amplified fragments, M2e and HSP70359-610 genes, were gel-purified. The products were then single digested with Bam...
متن کاملVersatile epitope tagging vector for gene expression in mammalian cells.
We have constructed an epitope-tagging vector, pCMV-Tag1, for gene expression in mammalian cells. This vector, which allows for N-terminal, C-terminal and internal tagging of the gene product of interest with the FLAG and/or c-myc epitopes, enables researchers to rapidly and efficiently characterize gene products in vivo.
