Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation02:53

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

6.4K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Small GTPases - Ras and Rho01:24

Small GTPases - Ras and Rho

4.9K
Ras and Rho are small monomeric GTPases that act downstream of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) and regulate various cellular processes. These GTPases switch between active and inactive states by binding to guanine nucleotides.
Three regulatory proteins control their activity:

Cell Polarization by Rho Proteins01:21

Cell Polarization by Rho Proteins

3.3K
Cell polarity is the asymmetric distribution of cellular and membrane components, making one side of the cell different from the other. This polarity is essential to many processes such as embryogenesis, axon migration, glucose transport across epithelial cells, and directional cell migration. A migrating cell responds to intracellular or extracellular signals via molecular cascades that reorganize the actin cytoskeleton to establish this polarity. In these cells, the Rho family proteins Cdc42,...

Protein Modifications in the RER01:26

Protein Modifications in the RER

6.4K
Modification of secretory and transmembrane proteins entering the rough ER begins in the ER lumen. These modifications aid in protein folding and stabilize the acquired tertiary structure. Protein modifications in the rough ER co-occur at different stages of protein folding.
Broadly, these modifications can be categorized into four main categories — glycosylation, formation of disulfide bonds, assembly of protein subunits, and specific proteolytic cleavages like removal of signal...

Summation Notation01:25

Summation Notation

67
Sigma notation, also known as summation notation, provides a concise method for representing the sum of a sequence of terms that follow a regular pattern. It utilizes the uppercase Greek letter sigma (∑), A typical expression is:In this form, k the index of summation is 1, the starting value, and n the ending value. The term ak​ represents the general term of the sequence.For example, the increasing sequence 5, 7, 9, ..., 23 over 10 terms can be expressed as:This simplifies the...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Cell Biology
  • Neuroscience

Context:

  • RhoA is a key regulator of the actin cytoskeleton.
  • SUMOylation is a post-translational modification that affects protein function.
  • Understanding RhoA modification is crucial for neuronal repair.

Purpose:

  • To determine if human RhoA is modified by SUMOylation.
  • To identify which SUMO paralogs interact with RhoA.

Summary:

  • Human RhoA was successfully expressed in HEK293T cells.
  • Immunofluorescence revealed co-localization of RhoA with SUMO2/3, but not SUMO1.
  • Co-immunoprecipitation confirmed that RhoA is modified by SUMO2/3, not SUMO1.

Impact:

  • This study demonstrates that human RhoA is SUMOylated by SUMO2/3.
  • SUMOylation of RhoA likely plays a role in regulating axon regrowth.
  • Findings contribute to understanding molecular mechanisms underlying nervous system injury repair.
