Gene-specific cell labeling using MiMIC transposons
Binary expression systems such as GAL4/UAS, LexA/LexAop and QF/QUAS have greatly enhanced the power of Drosophila as a model organism by allowing spatio-temporal manipulation of gene function as well as cell and neural circuit function. Tissue-specific expression of these heterologous transcription factors relies on random transposon integration near enhancers or promoters that drive the binary...
متن کاملFast and Efficient Drosophila melanogaster Gene Knock-Ins Using MiMIC Transposons
Modern molecular genetics studies necessitate the manipulation of genes in their endogenous locus, but most of the current methodologies require an inefficient donor-dependent homologous recombination step to locally modify the genome. Here we describe a methodology to efficiently generate Drosophila knock-in alleles by capitalizing on the availability of numerous genomic MiMIC transposon inser...
متن کاملSpecific cell surface labeling of GPCRs using split GFP
Specific cell surface labeling is essential for visualizing the internalization processes of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and for gaining mechanistic insight of GPCR functions. Here we present a rapid, specific, and versatile labeling scheme for GPCRs at living-cell membrane with the use of a split green fluorescent protein (GFP). Demonstrated with two GPCRs, GPR17 and CysLT2R, we show t...
متن کاملSaturation mutagenesis using maize transposons.
Transposon mutagenesis facilitates gene discovery by tagging genes for cloning. New genomics projects are now cataloging transposon insertion sites to define all maize genes. Once identified, transposon insertions are 'hot spots' for generating new alleles that are useful in functional studies.
متن کاملThe first experience of stem cell labeling in Iran using 111In- Oxine [Persian]
Introduction: The field of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine is rapidly moving toward translation to clinical practice. Stem cell therapy seems to be a new treatment option for some diseases. So, tracking the distribution of stem cells is crucial to their therapeutic use. Based on this fact we labeled human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with 111...
