Abstract:

CRISPR/Cas9 system is a powerful gene editing tool in vivo and in vitro. Currently, CRISPR/Cas9 delivery cells or tissue with different vehicles are available, and Adeno- associated virus (AAV) in one of them. Due to AAV packaging size limitation, AAV base vectors that carry CRISPR/Cas9 system do not have florescent tag like GFP for simple detection and navigation of cells, containing AAV. The aim of this study was to modify and synthesis AAV base vector for CRISPR/cas9 system containing sgRNA and GFP.Px602 plasmid was double digested with NcoI and HindIII restriction enzyme. Gfp gene was amplified from px458 plasmid. Linear digested px602 and amplified Gfp gene were ligated together. After transformation and colony PCR on white colonies, plasmid was extracted and transfected to HEK-293 cell line. Gfp expression was monitored by florescent microscopy. After transfection of modified plasmid, florescent microscopy of HEK-293 cells showed shining green florescent cells, which indicate that Gfp gene, was replaced in the correct place according to our design.We modified an AAV base vector carrying CRISPR/Cas9 system, and synthesized a new vector carrying Gfp gene and sgRNA that can be packaged as reporter AAV for navigation and detection of cells, containing AAV.

pHluorin2: an enhanced, ratiometric, pH-sensitive green florescent protein.

Green florescent protein (GFP) variants that are sensitive to changes in pH are invaluable reagents for the analysis of protein dynamics associated with both endo- and exocytotic vesicular trafficking. Ratiometric pHluorin is a GFP variant that displays a bimodal excitation spectrum with peaks at 395 and 475 nm and an emission maximum at 509 nm. Upon acidification, pHluorin excitation at 395 nm...

Discovery of Green Fluorescent Protein, Gfp

I discovered the green fluorescent protein GFP from the jellyfish Aequorea aequorea in 1961 as a byproduct of the Ca-sensitive photoprotein aequorin (Shimomura et al., 1962; Johnson et al., 1962), and identified its chromophore in 1979 (Shimomura, 1979). GFP was a beautiful protein but it remained useless for the next 30 years after the discovery. My story begins in 1945, the year the city of N...

Improved silencing vector co-expressing GFP and small hairpin RNA.

Small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a powerful tool for the specific silencing of gene expression. We developed an improved vector, pG-SUPER, that co-expresses green fluorescent protein (GFP) and small hairpin RNA simultaneously to facilitate analysis of silencing at the level of individual cells. As a test system, we analyzed lamin A/C knockdown in HeLa cells. The GFP signal was a reliable report...

Introduction of green fluorescent protein (GFP) into hippocampal neurons through viral infection.

Expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP), its more fluorescent mutant forms (e.g., EGFP [enhanced GFP]), or their fusion protein derivatives, affords a number of informative possibilities in cellular neuroscience. EGFP is a soluble protein and appears to be homogeneously distributed within the cytosol of neurons when expressed. Thus, it reveals the structure of the neuron, including the ce...
