Protein Complex Assembly02:41

Protein Complex Assembly

16.9K
Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types.  Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.
Many viruses self-assemble into a fully functional unit using the infected host cell to...

Spindle Assembly02:50

Spindle Assembly

4.4K
Spindle assembly occurs through three, often coexisting, pathways – the centrosome-mediated pathway, the chromatin-mediated pathway, and the microtubule-mediated pathway – collectively contributing to form a robust spindle apparatus.
In most cells, centrosomes are the primary microtubule nucleation centers. In the centrosome-mediated pathway, the G2-prophase transition triggers centrosome maturation and increased microtubule nucleation. Progressive nucleation results in a...

Oligosaccharide Assembly01:24

Oligosaccharide Assembly

3.7K
Protein glycosylation starts in the ER lumen and continues in the Golgi apparatus. Glycosyltransferases catalyze the addition of sugar molecules or glycosylation of proteins. Usually, these enzymes add sugars to the hydroxyl groups of selected serine or threonine residues to form O-linked glycans or the amino groups of asparagine residues to form N-linked glycans. Different positions on the same polypeptide chain can contain differently linked glycans.
Multiple sugar molecules that may or may...

Assembly of Cytoskeletal Filaments

28.0K
Cytoskeletal filaments are polymeric forms of smaller protein subunits. However, individual cytoskeletal filaments may easily disassemble or associate with other similar filaments to form rigid structures. Microfilaments, made of actin monomers, rely on actin-binding proteins to form bundles and create networks of individual actin filaments. Microtubules rely on microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) to form sturdy cylindrical structures. However, the proteins involved in forming complex...

Genome Annotation and Assembly03:36

Genome Annotation and Assembly

21.1K
The genome refers to all of the genetic material in an organism. It can range from a few million base pairs in microbial cells to several billion base pairs in many eukaryotic organisms. Genome assembly refers to the process of taking the DNA sequencing data and putting it all back together in a correct order to create a close representation of the original genome. This is followed by the identification of functional elements on the newly assembled genome, a process called genome annotation.

Area of Science:

  • Synthetic biology
  • Molecular engineering
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Synthetic biology applies engineering principles to biotechnology using a design-build-test-learn cycle.
  • A universal DNA assembly standard is needed for predictable and universal bio-molecular engineering.
  • Existing Golden Gate Assembly (GGA) methods offer either high capacity or toolkit simplicity, but not both.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel GGA framework, Mobius Assembly, that combines high cloning capacity with vector toolkit simplicity.
  • To create a more versatile, streamlined, cost- and labor-efficient DNA assembly method.
  • To enhance standardization and automation in synthetic biology.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the Mobius Assembly framework using a two-level, hierarchical approach.
  • Utilized a low-frequency cutter to minimize domestication requirements.
  • Incorporated standard overhang designs (MoClo, Golden Braid, Phytobricks) and dropout cassettes for visible screening.

Main Results:

  • Mobius Assembly successfully combined vector toolkit simplicity and high cloning capacity.
  • Demonstrated assembly of up to 16 transcriptional units for pigmentation genes in various arrangements.
  • Achieved cost-free visible cloning screening through chromogenic protein dropout cassettes.

Conclusions:

  • Mobius Assembly offers enhanced versatility and efficiency in DNA assembly.
  • The new framework facilitates improved standardization and automation in synthetic biology.
  • Mobius Assembly is largely compatible with existing GGA part libraries, promoting broader adoption.
