lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

10.0K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Animal Mitochondrial Genetics02:59

Animal Mitochondrial Genetics

9.3K
Among all the organelles in an animal cell, only mitochondria have their own independent genomes. Animal mitochondrial DNA is a double-stranded, closed-circular molecule with around 20,000 base pairs. Mitochondrial DNA is unique in that one of its two strands, the heavy, or H, -strand is guanine rich, whereas the complementary strand is cytosine rich and called the light, or L, -strand. Compared to nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA has a very low percentage of non-coding regions and is marked by...

What is Population Genetics?

65.0K
A population is composed of members of the same species that simultaneously live and interact in the same area. When individuals in a population breed, they pass down their genes to their offspring. Many of these genes are polymorphic, meaning that they occur in multiple variants. Such variations of a gene are referred to as alleles. The collective set of all the alleles within a population is known as the gene pool.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Biotechnology
  • Protein Engineering

Background:

  • Site-specific incorporation of noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) into proteins is crucial for advanced protein engineering.
  • Baculovirus expression systems are widely used for high-level protein production in insect cells.
  • Existing methods for incorporating ncAAs often face limitations in efficiency and scope for complex proteins.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust protocol for expressing multiprotein complexes with site-specifically incorporated noncanonical amino acids.
  • To integrate genetic code expansion (GCE) tools into a baculovirus expression system for enhanced protein production.
  • To demonstrate the utility of the MultiBacTAG system for introducing diverse ncAAs.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized baculovirus-based protein expression in Spodoptera frugiperda cells.
  • Integrated synthetase and tRNA genes essential for GCE into the Bacmid backbone.
  • Employed Tn7-mediated transposition for introducing genes of interest.
  • Applied the MultiBacTAG system for protein expression with various ncAAs.

Main Results:

  • Successfully established a protocol for GCE in conjunction with baculovirus expression.
  • Demonstrated the site-specific introduction of multiple noncanonical amino acids into multiprotein complexes.
  • Validated the efficiency of the MultiBacTAG system for producing complex proteins with ncAAs.

Conclusions:

  • The combination of GCE and baculovirus expression offers a powerful strategy for producing complex proteins with site-specific ncAAs.
  • This protocol facilitates the engineering of proteins with novel functionalities.
  • The developed method expands the toolkit for advanced protein expression and biotechnology.
