Labeling DNA Probes03:31

Labeling DNA Probes

9.5K
DNA probes are fragments of DNA labeled with a reporter tag to enable their detection or purification. The resulting labeled DNA probes can then hybridize to target nucleic acid sequences through complementary base-pairing, and may be used to recover or identify these regions.
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...

Sanger Sequencing

775.7K
DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • STING is a key adaptor protein in cytosolic DNA-sensing innate immunity.
  • STING directly binds cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) like c-di-GMP and cGAMP.
  • CDN binding induces STING conformational changes, leading to IRF3 activation and type I interferon production.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe experimental methods for studying STING protein interactions with CDNs.
  • To investigate the binding kinetics and activity of STING in response to various CDNs.

Main Methods:

  • Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) to quantify STING-CDN binding thermodynamics.
  • Luciferase reporter assays to measure STING-mediated signaling activation.

Main Results:

  • Detailed procedures for assessing STING's direct binding to different CDNs.
  • Quantification of STING activation thresholds using reporter assays.

Conclusions:

  • Established experimental protocols provide a framework for characterizing STING function.
  • These methods facilitate the study of STING as a therapeutic target in innate immunity.
