Deficient stability towards nuclease-mediated degradation is one of the most relevant tasks in the development of oligonucleotide-derived biomedical agents. This hurdle can be overcome through modifications to the native oligonucleotide backbone structure, with the goal of simultaneously retaining the unique hybridization properties of nucleic acids. The nucleosyl amino acid (NAA)-modification is a recently introduced artificial cationic backbone linkage. Partially zwitterionic NAA-modified oligonucleotides had previously shown hybridization with DNA strands with retained base-pairing fidelity. In this study, we report the significantly enhanced stability of NAA-modified oligonucleotides towards 3′- and 5′-exonuclease-mediated degradation as well as in complex biological media such as human plasma and whole cell lysate. This demonstrates the potential versatility of the NAA-motif as a backbone modification for the development of biomedically active oligonucleotide analogues.

We present a protocol for sample preparation for LC-MS analysis of whole cell lysates and for lysosomal and endosomal fractions purified by Lyso-IP and Endo-IP. Protocols for purification of lysosomes and endosomes is provided in protocol dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.byi9puh6 using cells that express endogenously tagged TMEM192-HA and stably expressing FLAG-EEA1 as descrbed in dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.byi7puhn.

Transcription of cloned adenovirus, beta-globin, and retrovirus long terminal repeat DNAs in HeLa whole-cell lysate was inhibited by S-adenosylhomocysteine. However, full-length 1.7-kilobase transcripts made on adenovirus 2 late promoter DNA contained 5'-terminal GpppA, consistent with specific initiation and runoff synthesis in the absence of product methylation. Formation of runoff transcripts including retrovirus RNAs that normally contain 5'-m7GpppGmpC was not decreased by replacing GTP with non-hydrolyzable analogs, and Rous-associated virus-2 runoff products made in the presence of GTP-gamma-S contained 5'-terminal gamma-S-pppGpC. The results indicate that capping and specific transcript synthesis by RNA polymerase II are not obligatorily linked in HeLa whole-cell lysate. Accurate initiation is dependent on ATP hydrolysis, and in contrast to GTP, replacement of ATP by 5'-adenylyl-imidodiphosphate blocked specific initiation of transcripts that start with either GTP (Rous-associated virus-2, Rous-associated virus-0) or ATP (beta-globin, adenovirus).

AbstractThe present immuno-diagnostic method using soluble antigens from whole cell lysate antigen for trypanosomosis have certain inherent problems like lack of standardized and reproducible antigens, as well as ethical issues due to in vivo production, that could be alleviated by in vitro production. In the present study we have identified heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) from T. evansi proteome. The nucleotide sequence of T. evansi HSP70 was 2116 bp, which encodes 690 amino acid residues. The phylogenetic analysis of T. evansi HSP70 showed that T. evansi occurred within Trypanosoma clade and is most closely related to T. brucei brucei and T. brucei gambiense, whereas T. congolense HSP70 laid in separate clade. The two partial HSP70 sequences (HSP-1 from N-terminal region and HSP-2 from C-terminal region) were expressed and evaluated as diagnostic antigens using experimentally infected equine serum samples. Both recombinant proteins detected antibody in immunoblot using serum samples from experimental infected donkeys with T. evansi. Recombinant HSP-2 showed comparable antibody response to Whole cell lysate (WCL) antigen in immunoblot and ELISA. The initial results indicated that HSP70 has potential to detect the T. evansi infection and needs further validation on large set of equine serum samples.
