Immunoaffinity purification of the human multisubunit transcription factor IIH.

چکیده
A procedure to immunoaffinity purify the human transcription factor IIH (TFIIH) was developed using a monoclonal antibody that recognizes an epitope in ERCC3 (XPB), the largest subunit of TFIIH. The epitope recognized by the monoclonal antibody was mapped to 20 amino acids. A peptide containing the epitope was capable of displacing TFIIH from an immunoaffinity column containing the monoclonal antibody. The immunoaffinity purification procedure described allows a simple and efficient method to purify both the "core" and "holo" TFIIH complexes.

The human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulation factor (hGM-CSF) gene was cloned in the pET 23a( +) expression vector under the control of strong bacteriophage T7 transcription and translation signals. The hGM-CSF gene was transferred into E. coli strainBL21 (DE3)pLysS andIPTG was used for induction of GM-CSF gene. Production of the target protein was obtained as revealed by ELISA and ...

Introduction: The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a group of cell surface proteins that are essential for recognizing foreign molecules in human and other mammals. The physiologic function of MHC molecules is the presentation of peptides to T cells. In this study, we evaluated the purification of a class II MHC molecule (HLA-DR) from a human Burkitt′s lymphoma cell line; Daudi...
متن کاملHuman cyclin-dependent kinase-activating kinase exists in three distinct complexes.
Transcription factor IIH (TFIIH) is a multisubunit complex required for transcription and for DNA nucleotide excision repair. TFIIH possesses three enzymatic activities: (i) an ATP-dependent DNA helicase, (ii) a DNA-dependent ATPase, and (iii) a kinase with specificity for the carboxyl-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II. The kinase activity was recently identified as the cdk (cyclin-dependent...
متن کاملPurification of the COP9 signalosome from porcine spleen, human cell lines, and Arabidopsis thaliana plants.
COP9 signalosome (CSN) is an evolutionarily conserved multisubunit protein complex involved in diverse cellular and developmental processes in eukaryotes. CSN functions in the cell as proteases that deconjugate Nedd8/Rub1 from cullin family proteins and depolymerize ubiquitin chains. As such, CSN represents an important regulator of multiple cullin-based E3 ubiquitin ligases. CSN has also been ...

Cytoplasmic dynein is the multisubunit motor protein for retrograde movement of diverse cargoes to microtubule minus ends. Here, we investigate the function of dynein variants, defined by different intermediate chain (IC) isoforms, by expressing fluorescent ICs in neuronal cells. Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-IC incorporates into functional dynein complexes that copurify with membranous organ...
