Bassam和Sanguinetti银染方法在SRAP和TRAP标记中的比较研究

银染作为一种重要的DNA染色方法,对分子标记检测有重要影响.SRAP标记和TRAP标记是两种较为新型的分子标记,近年来得到了广泛应用,尤其在缺少遗传图谱的物种中应用价值更大.以普通烟草种(Nicotiana tabacum L.)烤烟和香料烟品种作为供试材料,对Bassam和Sanguinetti两种银染方法,在标记检测效率、成本及染色效果等方面进行了研究,并对其在SRAP标记和TRAP标记中的应用进行了探讨.结果表明,Sanguinetti银染法比Bassam银染更为简便、经济,染色照片的色阶图说明Sanguinetti染色方法的背景与扩增带区分明显,能够清楚地读带;且该方法能够扩增出很好的SRAP和TRAP标记谱带.因此,推荐在SRAP和TRAP标记检测中采用Sanguinetti银染方法.

晚疫病菌基因组SSR扩增产物两种检测方法的比较与改进

以32份马铃薯或番茄晚疫病菌基因组DNA为模板,分析了琼脂糖凝胶电泳法和聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳法对10对SSR引物多态性检测的影响,同时比较了聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳两种银染法(常规银染法和快速银染法)的差异。结果显示,聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳较琼脂糖凝胶电泳分离效果好,具有更高的多态性检出率,其中快速银染法与常规银染法的检出结果相同,但常规银染步骤繁琐,整个过程要用1-2h,而快速银染只需约15min,且染色背景较浅,条带清晰。聚类分析显示,聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳快速银染法可将供试晚疫病菌株分布于更多的聚类组,显示出更高的遗传变异度。可见,聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳快速银染法结合SSR分子标记技术,可有效地用于马铃薯或番茄晚疫病菌群体遗传多样性分析。

Silver-stained fibrin zymography: separation of proteases and activity detection using a single substrate-containing gel

A new zymogram method, silver-stained fibrin zymography, for separation of protease bands and activity detection using a single substrate gel, was developed. The method takes advantage of the nanoscale sensitivity of both zymography and silver staining. After SDS-PAGE in a gel containing fibrin, the gel was incubated in enzyme reaction buffer and the zymogram was silver-stained. Bands with protease activity were stained with silver in clear areas where the protein substrate had been degraded. The molecular sizes of proteases were accurately determined. Furthermore, proteases of high molecular weight were clearly and sharply resolved.     

Silver staining of proteins on electroblotting membranes and intensification of silver staining of proteins separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis

A fast and convenient method for silver staining of proteins on electroblotting membranes was developed based on Gallyas' histochemical intensifier and applied to human endothelial cell proteins separated by one- and two-dimensional electrophoresis and electroblotted to polyvinyl difluoride membranes. The method allowed detection of proteins on membranes with a sensitivity equal to the sensitivity of the most sensitive silver-staining protocols for electrophoresis gels. Also, the method was compatible with preceding immunostaining on the same membrane. Furthermore, an intensifying method for proteins in silver-stained SDS-PAGE gels was developed based on Gallyas' histochemical intensifier. This method was applied to proteins separated by one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and visualized by one of several silver-staining methods. Maximal intensification was achieved for the less sensitive but fast acidic silver-staining protocols, but even for the very sensitive alkaline protocols a significant increase in signal to noise ratio was obtained. In particular, negatively stained or invisible proteins on the silver-stained gels were found to be visualized by the Gallyas stain. Proteins from silver-stained and Gallyas-stained gels were identified by mass spectrometry, and the intensification procedure was fully compatible with mass spectrometry.     

A multiple high-resolution mini two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis system: imaging two-dimensional gels using a cooled charge-coupled device after staining with silver or labeling with fluorophore.

A multiple mini two-dimensional electrophoretic method which results in three two-dimensional protein spot patterns being positioned side by side in an individual gel has been developed. Preparation time has been minimized by employing disposable capillary tubes for the isoelectric focusing gels and reducing the number of second-dimensional gels required. Commercially available vertical slab units were used for the second-dimensional electrophoresis. The protein spot patterns were visualized either by staining the second-dimensional gel with silver or fluorescently labeling the focused proteins while present in the isoelectric focusing gel and subsequently electrophoresing them into the second-dimensional gel. The fluorescently labeled second-dimensional gel was imaged while still present in the glass mold immediately following electrophoresis. Two fluorophores were compared: 2-methoxy-2,4-diphenyl-3(2H)-furanone and 5-(4,6-dichlorotriazin-2-yl)aminofluorescein hydrochloride. A rapid imaging system based on a cooled charge-coupled device was used to view both the silver-stained and fluorescently labeled two-dimensional spot patterns. The sensitivity of detection of protein spots in the mini two-dimensional gels was similar for the two types of fluorescently labeled gels and the silver-stained gels.     

Purification of recombinant HIV-1 protease.

A method is described to purify recombinant HIV-1 protease from soluble extracts of Escherichia coli. The isolation involves QAE-Sepharose anion exchange chromatography, hexyl agarose hydrophobic interaction chromatography, MonoS cation exchange chromatography, and Superose 6 size exclusion chromatography. Approximately 100 micrograms of protease was obtained from 18 g E. coli paste. The protein was judged to be homogeneous due to the presence of a single band on a silver-stained SDS polyacrylamide gel.     

Purification and properties of the activating enzyme for iron protein of nitrogenase from the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum

The oxygen-labile, activating enzyme for iron protein from the photosynthetic bacterium, Rhodospirillum rubrum, was purified 11,800-fold using a combination of chromatophore washing, DE52-cellulose chromatography, hydroxylapatite chromatography, reactive red-120 cross-linked agarose chromatography, reactive red-120 cross-linked agarose chromatography, and Sephadex G-75 gel filtration. Activating enzyme appeared homogeneous on silver-stained sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, and the staining intensity of the activating-enzyme band was correlated with the activating-enzyme activity observed in in vitro assays. Either formaldehyde fixation or higher acrylamide concentration was required to accurately assess the purity of activating enzyme on silver-stained gels. Activating enzyme was stable for 30 days at 4 degrees C. Dithiothreitol was a necessary component for the stability of partially purified activating enzyme. NaCl inhibited the coupled assay for activating enzyme. The pI of activating enzyme was determined to be 6.5. Activating enzyme is composed of a minimum of 336 amino acids and a minimum calculated Mr is 32,032. The Mr of activating enzyme was estimated to be 21,700 by analytical gel filtration and 32,800 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. An absorption maximum at 280 nm was observed for the activating enzyme.     

Indentification of venom proteins of spider S. huwena on two-dimensional electrophoresis gel by N-terminal microsequencing and mass spectrometric peptide mapping

Venom proteins of the spider Selenocosmia huwena were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, with the separation in the first dimension on a wide range of immobilized pH (3–10) gradients. Over 300 protein spots were presented on a silver-stained 2D gel. The protein spots with molecular weight > 10 kDa were analyzed, after electrotransferring to polyvinyldene difluoride (PVDF) membrane, by N-terminal microseqencing. Some of the silver-stained protein spots with molecular weight over 10 kDa were analyzed and identified by employing an improved procedure of mass spectrometric peptide mapping, including (1) in-gel reduction, alkylation, and enzymatic digestion; (2) extraction and desalting by using the pipette tip containing a small C18 microcolumn (Ziptip); and (3) direct MAIDI-TOF mass analysis and protein database searching. Several known toxins such as HWTX-I, HWTX-II, HWTX-IV, and SHL-I were identified and some new components were found among these protein spots.

Fluorography of tritium-labeled proteins in silver-stained polyacrylamide gels

Silver-staining of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE)-separated proteins allows sensitive detection of proteins but severely reduces the ability to detect weak beta-emitters present in the protein band. A simple procedure is described in which silver can be removed from a silver-stained PAGE gel (deargentation) using photographic fixer, and the silver-free gel can be enhanced and used for fluorography. A quantitative study of sensitivity is reported for 3H-labeled bovine serum albumin with a one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-PAGE slab gel.
