Notes: The authors of this study determined the membrane topology of reticulon 3 (RTN3), an integral membrane protein that is expressed at high levels in neruons and has been show to negatively regulate the activity of BACE1 (Beta site APP-Cleaving Enzyme). Disruption of RTN3 is associated with incidence of dystrophic neurites in AD brain. RTN3 was translated using the TNT^® Quick Coupled Transcription/Translation System in the presence of Canine Microsomal Membranes and labeled using the Transcend™ Non-Radioactive Translation Detection System.

Notes: The MagneGST™ Protein Purification System was used to purify GST fusion proteins of the oncoprotein HPV16 E7 or various mutants of HPV16 E7. The purified GST fusion proteins were used for in vitro binding experiments with steroid receptor coactivator 1 (SRC-1), which was produced using the TNT^® T7 Coupled Wheat Germ Extract System and labeled with the Transcend™ Non-Radioactive Translation Detection System. GST pull-down assays were resolved by Western analysis using streptavidn-horseradish peroxidase and alpha-GST. To determine the effects of endogenously expressed HPV16 E7 on SCR-1-mediated transcription, luciferase reporters under the control of either the IL-8 promoter or an artificial promoter containing three estrogen response elements repeats (3 × EREs) were cotransfected with a Renilla control vector into two human cervical cancer lines (C33A and CaSki) using either the Transfast™ Transfection Reagent or another commercial transfection reagent. The Dual-Luciferase^® Reporter Assay was then used to determine luciferase activity to functionally map the E7-interacting domain and to determine the effects of high- and low-risk PHV E7s on SRC-1-mediated transcription.

Notes: This paper describes using the TNT^® T7 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System and Transcend™ tRNA to perform a nonradioactive in vitro Protein Truncation Test for a BRCA2 gene product.  Templates for the transcription-translation reactions were created by PCR-amplifying regions of the BRCA2 gene from normal and cancer patient sample genomic DNA.  (3075)

Notes: The TNT^® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System was used in conjunction with the Transcend™ Chemiluminescent Non-Radioactive Translation Detection System. Various truncations of the protein of interest were produced ranging from 67kDa to 19kDa to use in gel shift assays. The truncations were used to indentify which region bound the oligo of interest. The in vitro translated proteins were also used with antibodies for supershifts. (0003)

Notes: The TNT^® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System and the Transcend™ Chemiluminescent Non-Radioactive Translation Detection System were used to produce and label wildtype and mutant human vitamin D receptors. The proteins produced were used for vitamin D binding assays. (0133)

Notes: The authors used the TNT^® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System with Transcend™ Biotinylated tRNA to synthesize S10 and HSJ2 protein for protein:protein interaction studies with GST-tagged PTTG. (0556)

Notes: The proteins Ibp2, MP90 and luciferase were translated in vitro with the TNT^® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System in the presence of the Transcend™ Biotinylated tRNA. The translated proteins were reacted with a glutathione bead-immobilized portion of the clathrin heavy chain. Bound proteins were solubilized in SDS sample buffer and the proteins detected by Western detection with the Transcend™ Non-Radioactive Translation Detection System. (0990)

Notes: PEA-15 cDNAs were cloned from a mouse astrocytic library, and the clones were linearized and expressed using T3 or T7 Polymerase in the TNT^® Reticulocyte Lysate System either in the presence of [³⁵S]methionine or Transcend™ tRNA. The resulting proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting, respectively. A unique 15kDa protein that was recognized by an antibody to PEA-15 was produced in the TNT^® System. (1178)
