Oocyte expression with injection of purified T7 RNA polymerase.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Xenopus oocyte is a widely used system for protein expression. Investigators have had the choice between two different techniques: injection into the cytoplasm of in vitro transcribed complementary RNA (cRNA) or injection into the nucleus of complementary DNA (cDNA). We report on a third expression technique that is based on the combined injection of cDNA and purified T7 RNA polymerase directly into the cytoplasm of oocytes.

Construction of a Minigenome Rescue System for Measles Virus, AIK-c Strain
Background:In the recent decade, the reverse genetics method has been broadly used for rescue of negative-stranded RNA viruses from cDNA or viral minigenomes. This technique has been applied to study different steps in virus replication and virus-host interactions. Reverse genetics could also be implemented for design of new vaccines. The T7 RNA polymerase activity as well as virus (nucleocapsi...
متن کاملThe challenge of getting a high quality of RNA from oocyte for gene expression study
The extraction of intact RNA from oocyte is quite challenging and time-consuming. A standard protocol using commercial RNA extraction kit, yields a low quantity of RNA in oocytes. In the past, several attempts in getting RNA for gene expression study ended up with a few different modified methods. Extraction of high-quality RNA from oocyte is important before further downstream analyses such as...
متن کاملInhibition of T7 RNA polymerase by T7 lysozyme in vitro.
The in vivo observation that the expression of bacteriophage T7 gene 3.5 (T7 lysozyme) inactivates T7 class II transcription and the in vitro observation that T7 lysozyme inhibits T7 RNA polymerase lead to the hypothesis that T7 lysozyme might preferentially inhibit transcription from T7 class II promoters. T7 lysozyme was cloned into a lambda pL expression vector, overproduced in Escherichia c...

The RNA polymerase gene of bacteriophage T7 has been cloned into the plasmid pBR322 under the inducible control of the X PL promoter. After induction, T7 RNA polymerase constitutes 20% of the soluble protein of Escherichia coli, a 200-fold increase over levels found in T7-infected cells. The overproduced enzyme has been purified to homogeneity. During extraction the enzyme is sensitive to a spe...
