Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 103, 1307–1312. Enigma, a mitochondrial protein affecting lifespan and oxidative stress response in Drosophila 2006

Mourikis, P., Hurlbut, G.D. and Artavanis-Tsakonas, S.

Notes: The authors of this study describe mutations in a gene, Enigma (Egm), that increase lifespan and protect against oxidative stress. They mapped the gene and showed that it encodes a mitochondrial protein that is homologous to enzymes involved in the β-oxidation of fatty acids. To determine what other genes might be affected by loss of function of Egm, the authors performed an RNAi experiment using Drosophila Kc-167 cells. Double-stranded RNA was produced using the RiboMax™ Large Scale RNA Production System, and a portion of the Egm cDNA was amplified from that RNA. Some of the genes affected by the Egm RNA include a homolog of a mammalian enzyme known to be involved in fatty acid β-oxidation and enzymes involved in detoxification including glutathione-S-transferase and a cytochrome P450.

Mol. Cell 22, 553-560. Recapitulation of short RNA-directed translational gene silencing in vitro. 2006

Wang, B., Love, T.M., Call, M.E., Doench, J.G. and Novina, C.D.

Notes: microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous short RNAs that repress gene expression. To assess miRNA-directed translational silencing, in vitro reactions were performed. Translational gene silencing by miRNAs in vitro requires target mRNAs to possess a 7-methyl G cap and a poly(A) tail. In vitro transcription was performed with 5μg of linearized plasmids containing zero, two, four, or six miCXCR4 binding sites, one siCXCR4 binding site or Renilla luciferase (pRL-TK; control mRNA) using the RiboMax™ T7 Large-Scale RNA Production kit. The mRNAs were modified by 7-methyl-G capping and polyadenylation. Translation was performed using nuclease-treated rabbit reticulocyte lysate containing 0.025pmole of mRNA with miCXCR4 or siCXCR4 binding sites, 0.025pmole Renilla control RNA, and different ratios of CXCR4 siRNA. Reaction products were separated by SDS-PAGE and visualized and quantitated by PhosphorImager analysis. (3412)

Seehuus, S-C., Norberg, K., Gimsa, U., Krekling, T. and Amdam, G.V.

Notes: The authors of this paper demonstrate that the pathways controlling lifespan and senescence are linked to the pathways controlling fertility in the honey bee. Using RNAi experiments, the authors demonstrate that vitellogenin protects honey bee workers from oxidative stress. Double-stranded RNA was synthesized from the vitellogenin clone AP4a5 using the RiboMax® T7 System. In additional experiments the authors assessed apoptosis in brain tissue sections using the DeadEND™ Fluorometric TUNEL system. (3636)

Notes: In this report, satellite RNA from the full-length RPV serotype (satRPV RNA) of Cereal yellow dwarf virus was transcribed in vitro using the RiboMAX™ Large Scale RNA Production System. Self-cleavage of the synthesized RNA was then induced by incubation with a cleavage buffer. Serial deletions were created in the wild-type satRPV cloned in pGEM®-3Zf(–) Vector. The mutants generated were tested to see how well they replicated with internal sections of satRPV sequence removed.

Notes: Several different sequences from a S. pneumoniae pA promoter region were cloned into the pSP-luc+ vector and screened for expression levels in in vitro transcription/translation systems. The RiboMAX™ SP6 Large Scale RNA Production System was used to transcribe luciferase encoding mRNAs.  Luciferase mRNAs and plasmids were used as templates in high throughput inhibition studies in an S. pneumoniae S30 extract described in the paper as well as in Promega’s E. Coli S30 Extract System for Circular DNA and in Rabbit Reticulocyte Lysate. Promega amino acid mixtures were also used in these studies. (3227)

J. Cell Biol. 166, 61–71. Mutations in sticky lead to defective organization of the contractile ring during cytokinesis and are enhanced by Rho and suppressed by Rac. 2004

D’Avino, P.P., Savoian, M.S., and Glover, D.M.

Notes: The entire sti gene (~7kb) of Drosophila was PCR cloned into the pGEM®-T Vector. The cloned sequences were then sequenced and analyzed for mutations. The researchers also used the T7 RiboMAX™ Large Scale RNA Production System to create dsRNAs from PCR-amplified regions of the sti and GFP coding regions. TransFast™ Transfection Reagent was used to transfect 2 x 106 Schneider S2 cells with 10 μg of dsRNA in a 35mm Petri dish. The cells were fixed after transfection and examined for multinucleate cells, or immunocytochemically stained for actin and anillin. (3259)

Cell 112, 123-129. Entrapping ribosomes for viral translation:tRNA mimicry as a molecular trojan horse. 2003

Barends, S., Bink, H.H.J., van den Worm, S.H.E., Cornelis W.A. Pleij, C.W.A., and Kraal, B.

Notes: The Wheat Germ Extract was used to demonstrate that the 3’ end of a viral mRNA acts as a tRNA-like structure (TLS). The tRNA-like structure was shown to accept a [H3]valine residue in the Wheat Germ Extract. The turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) TLS structure was also shown to be able to function with ribosomes by donating [H3]valine in translation assays using Wheat Germ Extract with TYMV RNA but not BMV or AMV RNA. RNAs to be used as templates in the reactions were transcribed with the T7 RiboMAX™ Large Scale RNA Production System. After transcription DNA templates were removed with RQ1 RNase-Free DNase.

Notes: The authors examined the effect of blocking the mRNA of RGR-1, a factor implicated in activation of transcription, in C. elegans embryos. RNA interference (RNAi) was performed by synthesizing sense and antisense rgr-1 cDNA using Promega's RiboMAX™ Large Scale RNA Production System. The effects of RNAi on the cell were examined by looking at the arrested embryos by microscopy and immunostaining. (2559)

Doi N., Takashima H., Kinjo M., Sakata K., Kawahashi Y., Oishi Y., Oyama R., Miyamoto-Sato E., Sawasaki T., Endo Y. and Yanagawa H.

Notes: Template DNAs encoding c-Fos (118–211 amino acids) and c-Jun (216–318 amino acids) were generated by PCR, purified and then in vitro transcribed using the RiboMAX™ Large Scale RNA Production System.  Following transcription, the RNA was purified and then translated in a wheat germ extract system supplemented with FluoroTect GreenLys tRNA. The fluorescently labeled proteins generated by the translation reaction were run on a 16.5% Tricine-SDS–PAGE and analyzed with a Molecular Imager FX. Labeling efficiency was calculated by measuring total protein via T7-antibody and determining the amount of fluorescently-labeled protein by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS).

Mol. Cell. Biol. 20(14), 4990-94. Naturally occurring dicistronic cricket paralysis virus RNA is regulated by two internal ribosome entry sites. 2000

Wilson, J.E., Powell, M.J., Hoover, S.E. and Sarnow, P.

Notes: Control regions of a naturally occurring dicistronic promoter from Cricket Paralysis Virus (CrPV) were cloned into a previously described dicistronic reporter vector coding for both Fluc and Rluc. The reporter was used either for in vitro translation from RiboMAX™-produced uncapped RNA (RiboMAX™ Large-Scale RNA Production System) using either an RRL or WGE system, and measuring the translation using the Dual-Luciferase® Reporter Assay System, or for transfection into SL-2 cells. RNA was also used for transfection of the SL2 cells, and luciferase activities were measured using DLR. Luciferase readings are reported as ratio of Fluc activity to Rluc activity, with the no insert vector ratio set to 1. (2147)
