Neues in unserer #Methoden -Rubrik: Forschende an der University of Minnesota haben eine „One-Pot“-Methode entwickelt, die es ermöglicht #Klonierung und #Proteinexpression in einem Reaktionsgefäß durchzuführen!
Klingt vielversprechend? Finden wir auch! Mehr zu lesen im Artikel von Andrea Pitzschke:

Absolutely love this #preprint! The authors do cell-free #proteinexpression in the mRNA-display style to attach the encoding cDNA to the expressed protein. Then, they subject to proteolysis to infer information about protein stability.

#DNA #sequencing ties it together, and you have a 1.8-million variant library with quality stability data for ~850k of those.

Give it a look: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.06.519132v2.full.pdf

1L scale eukaryotic cell-free expression 👀

The authors take a commercial system and just make a ton of tobacco cell lysate to show it scales linearly. Seems good.

They make several therapeutic proteins and even a VLP. Yields aren't going too have us tearing out bioreactors yet but the field is moving!

Surprisingly, these microRNAs boost—rather than dampen—protein expression

MicroRNAs can play a role in cancer development and are thought to exclusively suppress protein expression in dividing cells, such as tumor cells. But new research published in ACS Central Science shows that some of these tiny molecules can elevate the expression of a particular gene in dividing human cells and in cancer cells, challenging conventional wisdom.
