Larval RNA Interference in the Red Flour Beetle, Tribolium castaneum

RNA interference (RNAi)-based gene knockdown techniques are at the core of Tribolium research. Here, we provide an overview of our larval RNAi technique in Tribolium castaneum. Larval RNAi is a simple, but powerful technique that provides quick access to loss-of-function phenotypes, allowing researchers to study gene functions in diverse...

An Assay for the Quantification of Inorganic Polyphosphate in Bacteria

Source: Pokhrel, A., et al. Assaying for Inorganic Polyphosphate in Bacteria. J. Vis. Exp. (2019).This video demonstrates a colorimetric assay to measure inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) in bacterial samples. The procedure involves enzymatically converting polyP into free phosphate, which then reacts with molybdate and ascorbic acid to produce a blue-colored complex. By comparing the absorbance of this complex to a standard curve of known phosphate concentrations, the polyP content in bacterial...

In vitro Reconstitution of the Active T. castaneum Telomerase

Efforts to isolate the catalytic subunit of telomerase, TERT, in sufficient quantities for structural studies, have been met with limited success for more than a decade. Here, we present methods for the isolation of the recombinant Tribolium castaneum TERT (TcTERT) and the reconstitution of the active T. castaneum telomerase ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex in...
