[Abstract] RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) is an antibody-based technique used to map in vivo RNA-protein interactions. DBR1, an RNA debranching enzyme, is responsible for the debranching of lariat RNA, for the degradation and turnover of lariat RNAs. It is well known that primary miRNA (Pri-miRNA) is recognized and further processed into mature miRNA by the Dicing complex mainly composed of DCL1 and HYL1. Due to the low abundance of pri-miRNAs, RIP followed qRT-PCR has been widely used to evaluate the binding efficiency of the Dicing complex with pri-miRNAs in previous studies. Therefore, the ...
[摘要] RNA免疫沉淀（RIP）是一种基于抗体的技术，用于绘制体内 RNA-蛋白质相互作用。 DBR1是一种RNA脱支酶，负责套索RNA的脱支，用于套索RNA的降解和转换。众所周知，主要miRNA（Pri-miRNA）被主要由DCL1和HYL1组成的切割复合物识别并进一步加工成成熟miRNA。由于pri-miRNA的丰度较低，RIP随后的qRT-PCR已被广泛用于评估切割复合物与pri-miRNA在先前研究中的结合效率。因此，缺乏对具有pri-miRNA的切割复合物的全基因组评估。随着高通量测序技术的改进，我们成功地使用RIP-seq比较了Dicing复合物与野生型和 dbr1-2 突变体之间的pri-miRNA的结合效率。 。在该方案中，我们提供了在两种不同基因型之间的HYL1-YFP和DCL1-YFP转基因植物中使用GFP捕获珠的RIP-seq的详细描述。该方法可用于评估pri-miRNA与拟南芥中的切割复合物的结合，并且它可以应用于植物中的其他RNA结合蛋白。

[Abstract] Sumoylation controls many cellular processes. Protein kinase C-θ (PKC-θ), a member of the Ca2+-independent PKC subfamily of kinases, serves as a regulator of T cell activation by mediating the T cell antigen receptor (TCR)- and coreceptor CD28-induced activation of the transcription factors NF-κB and AP-1 and, to a lesser extent, NFAT, and, subsequently, interleukin 2 (IL-2) production and T cell proliferation. We recently proved that TCR-induced sumoylation of PKC-θ is required for its function in T cells (Wang et al., 2015). Here we describe the method to analyze ...
[摘要] 植物细胞壁主要由多糖纤维素，半纤维素和果胶组成。这些组分的结构和组成复杂性对于确定植物生长期间的细胞壁功能是重要的。此外，细胞壁结构限定了植物来源的生物质的多种功能性质，例如食品的流变性质和用于生产纤维素生物燃料的原料适用性。分子生物学实验室中细胞壁化学的典型表征包括用于定量半纤维素和果胶衍生单体的温和酸水解和通过Updegraff方法对纤维素的单独分析。我们采用了一个简化的"一步两步"水解方案，允许通过配对的脉冲安培检测（HPAEC-PAD）的高效阴离子交换层析同时测定纤维素含量，中性糖和糖醛酸样品。在我们的工作中，该方案已经在很大程度上替代了Updegraff纤维素定量和用2μMTFA水解以在微量级上测定基质多糖组成。
[背景] 是基于在121℃下在4％（w/v）硫酸中水解的样品的配对分析。一组样品首先用72％（w/w）硫酸预处理以使纤维素膨胀并使其易于稀释酸水解（图1中的Saeman水解; ...

In T cells, TCR and CD28 stimulation-induced activation of PKC-θ is the integrated result of diacylglycerol-mediated membrane recruitment, GLK-mediated phosphorylation at activation loop, CD28, Lck, and ...
[摘要] Sumoylation控制许多细胞过程。蛋白激酶C-θ（PKC-θ）是激酶的Ca 2+超家族PKC亚家族的成员，通过介导T细胞抗原受体（TCR）作为T细胞活化的调节剂， - 和共受体CD28诱导的转录因子NF-κB和AP-1的活化，以及较小程度的NFAT，以及随后的白细胞介素2（IL-2）产生和T细胞增殖。我们最近证明了TCR诱导的PKC-θ的sumoylation是其在T细胞中的功能所必需的（Wang等人，2015）。在这里我们描述分析TCR诱导的过表达或内源性PKC-θ的sumoylation的方法，这是通过免疫沉淀PKC-θ进行，然后用抗SUMO1抗体进行免疫印迹。
