The reverse transcription product of total RNA is invisible after electrophoresis.It is a normal phenomenon, because the amount of RNA template is low, and the amount of reverse transcription products in different sizes is even lower. 2. No specific product is amplified from the reverse transcription product.a. To exclude the problem of PCR reaction system or reverse transcription product, use gene-specific primers to amplify internal reference genes, such as actin and GAPDH. If reference genes can be amplified, but not the target gene, it indicates primers of the target gene are not well designed. b. Template RNA may be degraded. The integrity of total RNA can be checked by agarose gel or on-chip electrophoresis. Intact total RNA exhibits sharp, clear 28S and 18S rRNA bands, and the 28S rRNA band should be approximately twice as intense as the 18S rRNA band. A ratio less than 2 indicates the degradation of total RNA and new total RNA should be prepared. c. RNA samples may contain some components that inhibit the activity of reverse transcriptase. Those contaminants include phenol, SDS, EDTA, guanidine salts, phosphoric acid, pyrophosphoric acid, polyamine, spermidine, etc, which can be removed effectively by column purification or precipitation, washing, and redissolution. Total RNA extracted by Zol or Trizol produced by can fully meet the requirements of reverse transcription.d. Insufficient templates for reverse transcription. When DNase I is used to remove the residual DNA in the RNA sample prior to reverse transcription and is subjected to heat-inactivation, EDTA should be added to the RNA sample at a final concentration of 2.5mM to protect RNA from degradation under high temperature. Additionally, to amplify a specific gene, it is necessary to extract RNA from tissues in which the target gene is highly expressed. e. An inappropriate primer is used for reverse transcription. Random hexamer instead of Oligo(dT)18 should be used for the reverse transcription of bacterial total RNA which does not have poly(A) tails. Gene-specific primers used for reverse transcription must be well-designed...

It may be used in biotechnology to cleave affinity tags from recombinant proteins, either co-translationally orin vitrofollowing purification.TEV Protease is the 241 amino acid (aa), 27 kDa catalytic domain of the nuclear inclusion a (NIa) protein encoded by the potyvirus, tobacco etch virus (TEV). It may be used in biotechnology to cleave affinity tags from recombinant proteins, either co-translationally orin vitrofollowing purification. Its high specificity and activity at a wide range of pH and ionic strength make TEV Protease more versatile than many other proteases used for the same purpose. Unlike factor Xa, enteropeptidase or thrombin, TEV Protease has not been found to cleave at unintended sites, even when present at a high concentration. TEV Protease is a 3C-type protease that cleaves substrates with a consensus sequence of ENLYFQG. Cleavage occurs between Q and G. Since the final aa remains on the cleaved protein where it could potentially affect structure or function, substitution of a variety of aa have been tested. In order of efficiency, S, A, M, Y, D, N, E, K or L may be effectively used in place of G. Several of the remaining aa may also vary, giving a final consensus sequence of ExxYF(M)Q(E)/G(S, A or others) where aa in parenthesis are alternatives and x is any aa. The autocatalytic site of NIa at S2256 has been mutated to an N for improved stability of the protease.Tobacco Etch Virus Protease is a highly site-specific cysteine protease that is found in the tags from fusion proteins. The optimal temperature for cleavage is 30°C. It is recommended that the cleavage for each fusion protein be optimized by varying the amount of recombinant viral TEV protease, reaction time, or incubation temperature. It can be removed by Ni2+ affinity resin...

The PEDF is a Purity＞97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.FunctionPigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is encoded by the SERPINF1 gene in humans and found in verebrates. It is a secreted phosphoglycoprotein that belongs to the clade F subfamily, serpin superfamily of proteinase inhibitors. The PEDF is a noninhibitory serpin with neurotrophic, anti-angiogenic, and anti-tumorigenic properties. It is synthesized as a 418 a.a. about 50kDa precursor that contains a 19 a.a. signal sequence and a 399 a.a. mature region that shows a pyroglutamate at Gln20. Like other serpins, it contains three β-sheets, 810 α-helices, and a C-terminal RCL (reactive center loop). Unlike other serpins with Ser protease inhibiting activity. PEDF has functions of inducing extensive neuronal differentiation in retinoblastoma cells, inhibiting of angiogenesis. As it does not undergo the S (stressed) to R (relaxed) conformational transition characteristic of active serpins, it exhibits no serine protease inhibitory activity. PEDF is researched as a therapeutic candidate for treatment of such conditions as choroidal neovascularization, heart disease, and cancer... Read More |
