Analysis of the Level of Plasmid-Derived mRNA in the Presence of Residual Plasmid DNA by Two-Step Quantitative RT-PCR

open access: yesMethods and Protocols, 2020
In transfection experiments with mammalian cells aiming to overexpress a specific protein, it is often necessary to correctly quantify the level of the recombinant and the corresponding endogenous mRNA.

Linear DNA plasmids of yeasts [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 1995
Linear DNA plasmids are common among filamentous fungi and plants in which they are generally associated with mitochondria. In contrast, the linear DNA plasmids of yeast appear to be cytoplasmic and to have a specific genetic organization. In these respects the yeast linear plasmids can be regarded as a separate group of plasmids.

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Photoinduced cleavage of plasmid DNA in the presence of pterin

open access: yesPteridines, 2000
The photoinduced cleavage of plasmid DNA by UV -A light in the presence of pterin was investigated. Electrophoretic analysis of the irradiated plasmid pUCI8 in the presence of pterin showed that UV light of 350 nm induced the transformation of a ...

Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

PNA-Dependent Gene Chemistry: Stable Coupling of Peptides and Oligonucleotides to Plasmid DNA

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2000
Two approaches are described for stably conjugating peptides, proteins and oligonucleotides onto plasmid DNA. Both methods use a peptide nucleic acid (PNA) clamp, which binds irreversibly and specifically to a binding site cloned into the plasmid.

Entrapment of plasmid DNA in liposomes [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 1979
The entrapment of plasmid DNA (pMB9) and high molecular weight DNA into large unilamellar liposomes is described. The entrapment of DNA is specific and due to encapsulation of DNA into the aqueous compartment of liposomes. The entrapped Dna, resistant to deoxyribonuclease treatment, could be reisolated from liposomes intact and, as has been shown by ...

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This
