In vitro selection of proteins from cDNA libraries using display technologies, such as the in vitro virus method, is a powerful means for the discovery of novel protein interactions. After iterative screening, selected proteins are usually identified and evaluated by cloning and sequencing analysis. Previously we applied real-time PCR for evaluation of the sequences obtained on in vitro virus screening. Here, we have presented additional data regarding monitoring of the process of enrichment of selected clones in each round of selection and elimination of false positives by real-time PCR, and have also discussed the utility of the novel method. This approach should also be applicable to other display technologies.  相似文献

The incredible speed of gene cloning and sequencing brought about by the genomic revolution has begun to outpace conventional gene discovery approaches in the pharmaceutical industry. High-throughput approaches for studying gene function in vivo are greatly needed. One potential answer to this challenge is reverse transfection, a high-throughput gene expression method for examining the function of hundreds to thousands of genes in parallel. One limitation of reverse transfection technology is the need for posttransfection processing of the arrays to analyze the activity of the expressed proteins. The authors have investigated the use of a reporter construct cotransfected with other genes of interest to monitor and screen gene function on reverse transfection microarrays. They developed a serum response element (SRE) reporter linked to the green fluorescent protein (GFP) that is cotransfected with target genes on reverse transfection arrays for monitoring mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase signaling by multiple targets in parallel. The authors show that this reporter system is able to detect inhibition of upstream MAP kinase signaling proteins by the MEK inhibitor U0126. The ability to monitor the activity of multiple signaling proteins in a multiwell format suggests the utility of reverse transfection reporter arrays for high-throughput screening applications.  相似文献

The mRNA display technology enables the in vitro selection and directed evolution of functional proteins from libraries of more than 10(12) different mutants in a single test tube. The size of these libraries is well beyond the limit of screening technologies and of most in vivo and in vitro selection methods. The mRNA display technology has been used to select peptides and proteins that bind to a specific ligand, as well as novel enzymes. This protocol details the procedure to produce mRNA-displayed proteins (3 d) and to subject them to a selection and evolution of enzymes for bond-forming reactions (4-10 weeks). This method is demonstrated by the generation of new RNA ligase enzymes.  相似文献

RNA-binding proteins are key regulators of plant gene expression. Consistent with this, the Arabidopsis genome encodes many RNA-binding proteins that are genetically required for normal development and for responding to environmental changes. However, the direct RNA targets and RNA processing events that these RNA-binding proteins control are poorly understood. In order to facilitate the functional characterization of RNA-binding proteins, we have applied the RNA immunoprecipitation assay to Arabidopsis. Working with the U2B"–U2 snRNA interaction as a model experimental system, we show that treatment of intact plants with formaldehyde allows immunocapture of U2 snRNA using antibodies that recognize U2B" fused to the generic GFP tag. When coupled with recent developments in whole-genome tiling arrays and high-throughput next-generation sequencing, this combination of procedures and technology has the potential to allow systematic functional analysis of plant RNA-binding proteins.  相似文献

In vitro selection of Jun-associated proteins using mRNA display   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Although yeast two-hybrid assay and biochemical methods combined with mass spectrometry have been successfully employed for the analyses of protein–protein interactions in the field of proteomics, these methods encounter various difficulties arising from the usage of living cells, including inability to analyze toxic proteins and restriction of testable interaction conditions. Totally in vitro display technologies such as ribosome display and mRNA display are expected to circumvent these difficulties. In this study, we applied an mRNA display technique to screening for interactions of a basic leucine zipper domain of Jun protein in a mouse brain cDNA library. By performing iterative affinity selection and sequence analyses, we selected 16 novel Jun-associated protein candidates in addition to four known interactors. By means of real-time PCR and pull-down assay, 10 of the 16 newly discovered candidates were confirmed to be direct interactors with Jun in vitro. Furthermore, interaction of 6 of the 10 proteins with Jun was observed in cultured cells by means of co-immunoprecipitation and observation of subcellular localization. These results demonstrate that this in vitro display technology is effective for the discovery of novel protein–protein interactions and can contribute to the comprehensive mapping of protein–protein interactions.  相似文献

The ribosome display system is a very effective and powerful tool for in vitro screening of transcribed mRNAs that encode proteins (or peptides) with specific (known or unknown) functions. The system depends on the stability of ribosome-mRNA complexes that have been formed as a result of the removal of a stop codon. To assess the general applicability of the system, we examined the stability of ribosome-mRNA complexes in the presence and absence of a stop codon, as well as in the presence and the absence of an additional interaction between the translated peptide and its mRNA within the ribosome-mRNA complex. The additional interaction that we exploited was the interaction between a tandemly fused MS2 coat-protein (MSp) dimer and the RNA sequence of the corresponding specific binding motif, C-variant (Cv). The MSp dimer and Cv were placed, respectively, at the N-terminal end of a nascent protein, translated in vitro, and at the 5' end of the protein's mRNA, and consequently further stabilize the ribosome-mRNA complex. To our surprise, we were able to select proteins even in the presence of a stop codon. Moreover, as we had anticipated, the interaction between the MSp dimer and Cv enhanced the stability of the ribosome-mRNA complex, suggesting that this kind of interaction might be useful in the design of an efficient ribosome display selection strategy. Indeed, the yield of the mRNAs of interest after selection was increased upon the introduction of the interaction between the MSp dimer and Cv.  相似文献

In vitro peptide and protein selection using mRNA display enables the discovery and directed evolution of new molecules from combinatorial libraries. These selected molecules can serve as tools to control and understand biological processes, enhance our understanding of molecular interactions and potentially treat disease in therapeutic applications. In mRNA display, mRNA molecules are covalently attached to the peptide or protein they encode. These mRNA-protein fusions enable in vitro selection of peptide and protein libraries of >10(13) different sequences. mRNA display has been used to discover novel peptide and protein ligands for RNA, small molecules and proteins, as well as to define cellular interaction partners of proteins and drugs. In addition, several unique applications are possible with mRNA display, including self-assembling protein chips and library construction with unnatural amino acids and chemically modified peptides.  相似文献

In vitro display technologies, such as mRNA display and DNA display are powerful tools to screen peptides and proteins with desired functions from combinatorial libraries in the fields of directed protein evolution and proteomics. When screening combinatorial libraries of polypeptides (phenotype), each of which is displayed on its gene (genotype), the problem remains, how best to recover the genotype moiety whose phenotype moiety has bound to the desired target. Here, we describe the use of a photocleavable 2-nitrobenzyl linker between genotype (DNA or mRNA) and phenotype (protein) in our DNA and mRNA display systems. This technique allows rapid and efficient recovery of selected nucleic acids by simple UV irradiation at 4 degrees C for 15 min. Further, we confirmed that the photocleavable DNA display and mRNA display systems are useful for in vitro selection of epitope peptides, recombinant antibodies, and drug-receptor interactions. Thus, these improved methods should be useful in therapeutics and diagnostics, e.g., for screening high-affinity binders, such as enzyme inhibitors and recombinant antibodies from random peptide and antibody libraries, as well as for screening drug-protein interactions from cDNA libraries.  相似文献

Using mRNA display followed by in vitro sequencing and translation, a complete in vitro system for obtaining scFv has been developed. An mRNA display library for synthetic scFv was panned against human TNF receptor (TNFR). The nucleotide portion of the enriched molecules was subjected to limiting dilution, and PCR-amplified. Three of the proteins encoded by the amplified fragments were synthesized in a wheat embryo (WE) cell-free system using a batch method. They were shown to bind TNFR by ELISA. One of their sequences was identified in vitro. The identified clone was further synthesized at approx. 0.5 mg/ml reaction mixture in a WE system with dialysis as a totally soluble protein.  相似文献

mRNA display is a genotype-phenotype conjugation method that allows the amplification-based, iterative rounds of in vitro selection to be applied to peptides and proteins. Compared to prior protein selection techniques, mRNA display can be used to select functional sequences from both long natural protein and short combinatorial peptide libraries with much higher complexities. To investigate the basic features and problems of using mRNA display in studying conditional protein-protein interactions, we compared the target-binding selections against calmodulin (CaM) using both a natural protein library and a combinatorial peptide library. The selections were efficient in both cases and required only two rounds to isolate numerous Ca2+/CaM-binding natural proteins and synthetic peptides with a wide range of affinities. Many known and novel CaM-binding proteins were identified from the natural human protein library. More than 2000 CaM-binding peptides were selected from the combinatorial peptide library. Unlike sequences from prior CaM-binding selections that correlated poorly with naturally occurring proteins, synthetic peptides homologous to the Ca2+/CaM-binding motifs in natural proteins were isolated. Interestingly, a large number of synthetic peptides that lack the conventional CaM-binding secondary structures bound to CaM tightly and specifically, suggesting the presence of other interaction modes between CaM and its downstream binding targets. Our results indicate that mRNA display is an ideal approach to the identification of Ca2+-dependent protein-protein interactions, which are important in the regulation of numerous signaling pathways.  相似文献

We report a method for large-scale rapid analysis of phosphoproteins in tissues or cells by combining immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) with phage display cDNA library screening. We expressed a testis cDNA library as fusion proteins on phage and, using IMAC, enriched for sequences encoding phosphoproteins. Selected clones were polymerase chain reaction amplified and sequenced. The majority of the clones sequenced (80%) encoded known proteins previously identified as phosphoproteins. Immunoblotting with phosphotyrosine antibodies confirmed that some of the selected sequences encoded tyrosine phosphorylated proteins when expressed on phage. An advantage of this method is the rapid identification of phosphoproteins encoded by a cDNA library, which can identify proteins that are potentially phosphorylated in vivo. When this method is combined with limited enzymatic digestion and tandem mass spectrometric techniques, the specific phosphorylation site in a protein can be identified. This technique can be used in proteomics studies to effectively detect phosphorylated proteins and avoid time-consuming and expensive peptide sequencing.  相似文献

The selective suppression of the polymerase chain reaction and methods based upon it (construction of cDNA libraries from low amounts of biological material, subtractive hybridization and differential display of mRNA, fast cloning of full-size cDNA, chromosome walking, cloning in vitro, and others) are reviewed. These methods display a high effectiveness and, taken together, enable intricate DNA analyses to be performed--from the search for nontrivial sequences to the total sequencing of the corresponding genes.  相似文献

Background  

The sequencing of many genomes and tiling arrays consisting of millions of DNA segments spanning entire genomes have made high-resolution copy number analysis possible. Microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) has enabled the high-resolution detection of DNA copy number aberrations. While many of the methods and algorithms developed for the analysis microarrays have focused on expression analysis, the same technology can be used to detect genetic alterations, using for example standard commercial Affymetrix arrays. Due to the nature of the resultant data, standard techniques for processing GeneChip expression experiments are inapplicable.  相似文献
