Epitope Tagging

 

                    


                      Epitope Tagging

1.      Epitope tagging is used for localization and purification of protein.

2.      Using standard engineering techniques, a short peptide tag can be added to protein interest.

3.      It is used to study protein-protein or DNA-protein interaction.

4.      If a tag itself is an antigen determinant or epitope it can be targeted by an appropriate commercially available antibody.

5.      The antibody, suitably labelled can be used to determine the location of protein in cell to purify it by immunoprecipitation of affinity chromatography.

6.      In an immunoprecipitation antibody directed against the epitope tag re added to a solution as antibody protein complex.

7.      Richard young and his co-workers originally identified 10 polypeptide that are authentic polymerase 2 sub at least tightly bond contained.

8.      The method they used is called epitope tagging, in which they attach a small foreign epitope to one of yeast poly II subunit (RPBS)

9.      Then they introduce this gene into yeast cell, lacking a functional RPB3 gene. labelled the protein with either S35 or P32 and use as Ab directed against the foreign epitope to precipitate whole enzyme.

10.                              After immunoprecipitation, they separated the labelled polypeptide of precipitated protein by SDS page and detected them by autoradiography.

G-protein coupled receptors ?

1.     G-protein coupled receptor are type of receptor are types of receptor present on different kind of cell, this receptor have complex G-protein associated with its cytoplasmic tail. 2.     G- protein receptor, are the protein which have the ability to exchange from GDP to GTP 3.     Most of the G-protein are in active from when they are bound to GTP and inactive when they are bound to GDP. 4.     One of the examples of such G-protein couple is epinaflen. 5.     In this case there is a receptor for epinaflene on the cell surface and a complex of there G- protein at cytoplasmic region. 6.     This protein are α, β, γ, G-protein. 7.     When signal molecule binds to the receptor the α G-protein dissociate from β and γ with the exchange of GDP-GTP. 8.     This dissociated GTP bound α-G protein then binds to mem-bound enzyme adenylate cyclase. 9.     Adenylase cyclase is inactive without associated of GTP bound α-G protein. 10.       When α-G protein bound to, it gets

What is random priming?|What is non radioactive Labelling?|What are random primers used for?

                          Random primer labelling (primer extension) Ø Gene probes, clone or TCR amplified and oligonucleotide probes can be random prime labelled with radioactive isotopes and non-radioactive labelled DIG Ø Random prime labelling of DNA fragment (double or single stranded DNA was developed by Fein Berg and Bolgesteinds an alternative to nicker translation to produce uniformly labelled probes. Ø Double stranded DNA is degenerated and aneled with random oligonucleotide primer. Ø The oligonucleotide primer too 5`―› 3` polymerase which synthesis labelled probe in presence of labelled nucleotide pressure. PCR DIG labelling: -         DIG DUTP is incorporated during PCR cycle into the DNA strands amplified from the DNA target. Photo biotin labelling: - Photo biotin labelling is a chemical reaction not an enzymatic one. Biotin and DIG can be ink to nitrophenyl azido group that is converted by irradiation with UV or strong visible light to a h
