To generate "5'-end" partial cDNA clones using classic RACE, the first-strand products are generated by reverse transcription (primer extension) from a known gene-specific primer (GSP-RT).  Then, a poly(A) tail is appended using terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase (Tdt) and dATP.  Amplification is carried out using three primers. - [Read 5'-End cDNA Amplification Using Classic RACE Protocol]

In MOPAC, the amino-terminal and carboxy-terminal sequences of a peptide are used to design two redundant families of oligonucleotides encoding the aminoand carboxy-terminal sequences of the peptide.  The primers are used either to amplify a segment of cDNA prepared by RT-PCR from a tissue known to express the protein or to amplify a segment of DNA from an established genomic or cDNA library. - [Read Mixed Oligonucleotide-primed Amplification of cDNA MOPAC Protocol]

Category: Reporter Gene Assays: Luciferase Assay Protocols

Protocol describes a split luciferase complementation assay used to study the interaction of proteins in cells. In the split protein strategy, a single reporter protein/enzyme (firefly luciferase [Fluc]) is cleaved into amino-terminal and carboxy-terminal halves; each half is fused to one of two interacting proteins, X & Y. Physical interactions between the two proteins reconstitute the functional reporter protein, leading to enzymatic activities that can be measured by in vitro or in vivo assay - [Read Split Luciferase Complementation Assay for Studying Interaction of Proteins X and Y in Cells]

The cell-attached capacitance recording technique is a powerful technique that has been successfully used to resolve single vesicle fusion and fusion pore conductance.  This technique, however, has not been applied to synapses because of the difficulty in accessing release sites.  Here, we developed a technique to expose release sites in a large nerve terminal, the calyx of Held, which contains clear-core glutamatergic vesicles. - [Read The Cell Attached Capacitance Recording Technique]
