INTRODUCTIONThe use of RNA for genotyping analysis can be advantageous because transcriptomes are significantly smaller than genomes and typically contain far fewer repetitive sequences. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) has been used successfully to isolate sequences (especially rare transcripts) that accumulate in specific tissues. The amount of RNA collected in a standard microdissection is often insufficient for global gene expression analysis but can be increased via linear amplification. Upon conversion to cDNA, the product serves as template for 454 sequencing to produce expressed sequence tags for subsequent SNP analysis and detection. This protocol describes how to amplify RNA extracted from laser-dissected and captured tissues and cells.

Translation initiation in bacteria is frequently regulated by various structures in the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR). Previously, we demonstrated that G-quadruplex (G4) formation in non-template DNA enhances transcription. In this study, we aim to explore how G4 formation in mRNA (RG4) at 5'UTR impacts translation using a T7-based in vitro translation system and in E.

is a generally recognized as safe microorganism that is widely used for protein expression and chemical production, but has a limited number of genetic regulatory components compared with the Gram-negative model microorganism . In this study, a two-module plug-and-play T7-ased ptimized utput trategy for ranscription (T7-BOOST) systems with low leakage expression and a wide dynamic range was constructed based on the inducible promoters P and P. The first T7 RNA polymerase-driven module was seamlessly integrated into the genome based on the CRISPR/Cpf1 system, while the second expression control module was introduced into low, medium, and high copy plasmids for characterization.

The T7 RNA polymerase is considered one of the most popular tools for heterologous gene expression in the gold standard biotechnological host . However, the exploitation of this tool in other prospective hosts, such as the biotechnologically relevant bacterium , is still very scarce. The majority of the existing T7-based systems in show low expression strengths and possess only weak controllability.

Chemically-inducible gene expression systems are valuable tools for rational control of gene expression both for basic research and biotechnology. However, most chemical inducers are confined to certain groups of organisms. Therefore, dissecting interactions between different organisms could be challenging using existing chemically-inducible systems.

Article Synopsis
- Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a key model for studying negative-strand RNA viruses, focusing on how they interact with host cells and their potential for vaccine development.
- The study discovered that using a specific multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 5 for recombinant vaccinia virus (vTF-7.3) enhances VSV rescue efficiency significantly compared to a lower MOI of 1.
- Additionally, the research highlights that purifying vTF-7.3 before transfection is crucial for achieving optimal VSV rescue, offering insights that could improve VSV reverse genetic systems in labs.
