J. Biol. Chem. 270, 5434-5440. Identification of human TR2 orphan receptor response element in the transcriptional initiation site of the simian virus 40 major late promoter. 1995

Lee, H. and Chang, C.

Notes: TR2 orphan receptor, a steroid-thyroid hormone receptor, was produced in vitro using the TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System and used in EMSAs with the TR2RE-SV40 DNA response element. These results suggest that the TR2 orphan receptor is a candidate that binds to the TR2RE-SV40 region and may play some role in SV40 gene expression. (1807)

Plant Mol. Biol. 28, 369-380. Isolation and characterisation of cDNA clones representing the genes encoding the major tuber storage protein (dioscorin) of yam (Dioscorea cayenensis Lam.). 1995

Conlan, R. S. , Griffiths, L. A. , Napier, J. A. , Shewry, P. R. , Mantell, S. , Ainsworth, C.

Notes: The cDNA for dioscorin was expressed using the TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. When translation was carried out in the presence of canine microsomes, the translation efficiency was increased and a band of faster mobility was produced. Dioscorin may be cotranslationally processed by cleavage of a signal peptide; in addition, other post-translational modifications (i.e., glycosylation) may occur with this protein. (1273)

J. Biol. Chem. 270, 21765-21771. Isolation of cDNA clones encoding eight different human G protein gamma subunits, including three novel forms designated the gamma4, gamma10 and gamma11 subunits. 1995

Ray, K., Kunsch, C., Bonner, L.M., and Robishaw, J.D.

Notes: The gamma2, gamma4, gamma10 and gamma11 subunits of human G protein were transcribed and translated using the TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. Prenylation was examined for these subunits using [3H]farnesyl pyrophosphate or [3H]geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate. The gamma11 subunit is modified by a farnesyl group whereas gamma4 and gamma10 subunits are modified by a geranylgeranyl group. For tryptic proteolysis assays, beta and gamma subunits were cotranscribed and cotranslated in the TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. The cotranslation products were digested with trypsin. A protected fragment indicated beta-gamma dimers. (1786)

Nature 375, 812-815. Mechanism of active transcriptional repression by the retinoblastoma protein. 1995

Weintraub, S.J., Chow, K.N., Luo, R.X., Zhang, S.H., He, S. and Dean, D.C.

Notes: [35S]labeled PU.1,PU.1-M, c-myc and Elf-1 proteins were synthesized using the TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. c-myc, Elf-1 and PU.1 each bound specifically to Rb in the E2F-1-Rb complex. The PU.1 and PU.1-M proteins were incubated with GST-E2F-1 (that had been preincubated with His-Rb to form an E2F-Rb complex). Rb-PU.1 interacts efficiently with the E2F-1/Dp-1/DNA complex. The PU.1 and PU.1-M proteins also were incubated with GST-TBP in the presence or absence of His-Rb. Rb also blocked the interaction of PU.1 with TBP. (1836)

Notes: [35S]Methionine-labeled RalGDS (guanine nucleotide dissociation stimulator) was transcribed and translated in the TNT® T7 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. The lysate was incubated with GTPase samples and used in immunoprecipitation assays with anti-RalGDS antisera. GST-R-ras, GST-H-ras and GST-Rap (Ras-like GTPases) bind full length RalGDS in a GTP-dependent manner. In addition, Raf and RalGDS compete for binding to Ras-like GTPases. (1422)

Notes: The RNA-1 from tomato black ring nepovirus encodes a 250K polyprotein that is self-cleaved when synthesized in the TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. The polypeptides synthesized from synthetic transcripts that correspond to different proteins encoded by RNA-1 are only cleaved when they include the 23K protease. The VpgProPol and Pro Pol can also cleave the RNA-2 encoded 150K polyprotein in trans. (1016)

Lee, H.J., Lee, Y., Burbach, J.P. and Chang, C.

Notes: Full-length and truncated TR4 orphan receptor were transcribed and translated in the TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. The full-length protein was used in in vitro binding assays with the +55 region of the SV40-MLP and was shown to bind specifically. In analyses of the domain features of TR4, the original DNA-protein complexes could only be detected in supershifts of C-terminal or N-terminal truncations where the proteins were incubated with the full-length TR4 and DNA probe.

Notes: E63-1, CaM (positive control) and USP (negative control) were transcribed and translated using the TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. Labeled proteins were dialyzed against binding buffer, incubated in either EGTA or CaCl2 and run on SDS-PAGE gels. The results show that E63-1 binds Ca2+. (1513)

Am. J. Hum. Genet. 57, 311-320. The identification of point mutations in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy patients by using reverse-transcription PCR and the protein truncation test. 1995

Gardner, R.J., Bobrow, M. and Roberts, R.G.

Notes: The protein truncation test (PTT) was used to monitor the integrity of the dystrophin ORF in DMD patients. The TNT® T7 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System was used for PTT analysis in the presence of [35S]methionine. (In ~66% of DMD patients, a deletion in dystrophin is the causative agent.) Discontinuous SDS-PAGE is used to separate the proteins produced, and individuals carrying certain mutations (e.g., nonsense) are easily detected. (1870)

Cell 81, 1105-1114. The p150 and p60 subunits of chromatin assembly factor I: a molecular link between newly synthesized histones and DNA replication. 1995

Kaufman, P.D., Kobayashi, R., Kessier, N., and Stillman, B.

Notes: p150 and p60 proteins were produced using the TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. Wild type and mutant p150 proteins were checked for chromatin assembly and coprecipitation with p60 using the anti-p60 antibody. The p60 proteins were mixed with GST-p150 fusion proteins and precipitated with glutathione-CL4B resin. Detection of p60 was performed with anti-p60. A direct interaction was shown for p60 and p150.

Virology 208, 215225. Translation of the second gene of peanut clump virus RNA 2 occurs by leaky scanning in vitro. 1995

Herzog, E., Guilley, H. and Fritsch, C.

Notes: The initiation of translation of the second AUG of RNA 2 was studied using run-off transcription in the TNT® T7 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System. A protein of 39kDa is produced from this RNA 2 transcript. The results ruled out mechanisms of translation initiation involving termination, reinitiation and internal ribosome entry. The results were consistent with a leaky scanning mechanism for translation initiation. (1905)
