A PCR-based assay for reporter gene expression.
Transient transfection is a widely used tool for the identification of cis-acting regulatory elements. These elements are detected by their effect on the expression of a reporter gene, which is quantified by measuring the reporter gene product in the form of mRNA, protein (hGH), or enzymes (CAT, luciferase). Measurements of mRNA levels have several advantages over enzyme or protein assays. Howe...
متن کاملAn Alkaline Phosphatase Reporter Gene Assay for Induction of CYP3A4 In Vitro
CYP3A4 probably has the broadest catalytic activity of any cytochrome P450. It is a crucial task to test new drug candidates in a reliable system for their ability to induce expression of this enzyme. Firstly, a total of 300 bp core distal enhancer of CYP3A4 XREM region (-7972/-7673) were amplified from human genomic DNA. The PCR product was then ligated into a human secretory alkaline phosphat...

متن کاملStudying Membrane Biogenesis with a Luciferase-Based Reporter Gene Assay
To study the coordination of different lipid synthesis pathways during membrane biogenesis it is useful to work with an experimental system where membrane biogenesis occurs rapidly and in an inducible manner. We have found that phagocytosis of latex beads is practical for these purposes as cells rapidly synthesize membrane lipids to replenish membrane pools lost as wrapping material during part...
متن کاملPCR fusion-based approach to create reporter gene constructs for expression analysis in transgenic C. elegans.
In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, gene expression patterns are most often determined by generating a fusion of the promoter of the gene under study to a reporter gene such as lacZ or gfp (3,4,7,8,11). Of the almost 20 000 genes in the worm, the spatial expression pattern of only a few hundred genes has been determined (http:// www.wormbase.org). If the reporter gene is fused to the full c...
