J. Neuroendocrinol. 19, 309-319. Inhibition of vasopressin V1b receptor translation by upstream open reading frames in the 5'-untranslated region. 2007

Rabadan-Diehl, C., Martínez, A., Volpi, S., Subburaju, S. and Aguilera, G.

Notes: The authors studied the rat VP V1b receptor (V1bR) gene including the 826 base 5´ UTR, which has five ORFs upstream (uORF) of the V1bR protein start codon, to examine the effect of the upstream peptides on V1bR translation. The V1bR gene was cloned into the pALTER®-MAX Vector, and substitution mutations were created in the uORF translation initiation codons with the Altered Sites® II in vitro Mutagenesis System. One microgram of the linearized pALTER®- V1bR construct was transcribed using the Riboprobe® System and translated using Wheat Germ Extract with or without 35S-methionine. The unlabeled protein was analyzed by Western blot. The radiolabeled protein was spun through a 3% sucrose cushion, precipitated and separated by SDS-PAGE. For a possible membrane-targeted protein, the uORF1 was transcribed in vitro and then translated using Rabbit Reticulocyte Lysate, Canine Pancreatic Microsomal Membanes and 35S-methionine. The proteins were spun through a 3% sucrose cushion and then run on a 15% SDS-PAGE gel to determine membrane presence. (3749)

J. Biol. Chem. 282, 14413-144120.. Loss of HSulf-1 expression enhances autocrine signaling mediated by amphiregulin in breast cancer. 2007

Narita, K., Chien, J., Mullany, S.A., Staub, J., Qian, X., Lingle, W.L. and Shridhar, V.

Notes: These authors identified HSulf-1 as a downregulated gene in ovarian, breast and several other cancer cell lines. To investigate the clinical impact of this downregulation, tissue microarray was used look for associations between HSulf-1 expression levels and clinico-pathological parameters such as tumor histology, grade, hormone receptor status and presence of recurrent disease. HSulf-1 expression levels were determined by RNA in situ hybridization, using probes developed with the Riboprobe® System. (3616)

J. Biol. Chem. 280, 28215-28220. Determination of the functionality of common APOA5 polymorphisms. 2005

Talmud, P.J., Palmen, J., Putt, W., Lins, L., and Humphries, S.E.

Notes: The authors investigated common variants of the APOA5 gene that have been associated with differences in plasma triglyceride (TG) levels. PCR fragments containing either the –1131T --> C promoter variant or containing both the –1131T --> C and –3G --> A promoter variants were cloned into the pGEM®-T Vector System. The fragments were subsequently cloned into the pGL3 Basic Vector and transiently transfected into Huh7 and HepG2 cells along with the luciferase control vector, pRL-TK. The cells were lysed 48 hours after transfection and Luciferase activity was measured with the Dual-Luciferase® Reporter Assay System. The function of the 1891T --> C variant in the 3´ UTR was tested the same way; with the exception that site-directed mutagenesis was performed to introduce the T --> C at position 1891 before the fragment was cloned into the pGL3 Basic Vector. The functionality of the Kozak sequence –3A --> G variant was determined by cloning cDNAs into the pGEM®-7Zf Vector. Transcription/translation experiments were performed using the TNT® Quick Coupled Transcription/Translation System and the proteins were labeled using the FluorTect™ GreenLys System. In addition, a primer extension inhibition assay was performed using capped mRNAs generated with the Riboprobe® System –T7 and the Ribo m7G Cap Analog. Ribosome binding reactions were performed using the Rabbit Reticulocyte Lysate System, Nuclease Treated. (3460)

J. Biol. Chem. 280, 1376-1383. PDILT, a divergent testis-specific protein disulfide isomerase with a non-classical SXXC motif that engages in disulfide-dependent interactions in the endoplasmic reticulum. 2005

van Lith, M., Hartigan, N., Hatch, J. and Benham, A.M.

Notes: The tissue-specific patterns of expression of the novel protein disulfide isomerase-like protein of the testis (PDILT) was characterized using the AccessQuick™ RT-PCR System. RNAs isolated from various mouse tissues were amplified to reveal the testis-specific expression. An in vitro PDILT transcript generated using the Riboprobe® System-T7 was used as a positive control. Actin mRNA was also amplified to demonstrate equal RNA input. (3433)

Jacobs, A.T. and Ignarro, L.J.

Notes: Promega T4 Polynucleotide Kinase was used to end-label an oligo representing a NF-kB binding sequence element with [γ-32P] ATP (7,000 Ci/mmol).  Specific primers to IFN-β and IκB-α messenger RNA were used in RT-PCR to generate products for cloning into the pGEM®-T Easy Vector. The resulting plasmids were linearized with Nco I and Spe I, respectively, and used as templates for in vitro transcription using the Riboprobe® System to generate probes for use in an RNase protection assay.  The antisense probes were labeled with [α-32P]CTP (800 Ci/mmol) in the Riboprobe® reactions.  RNase ONE™ Ribonuclease was also used in this study.  (3197)
