Journal ArticleDOI
Development of SNAP-tag fluorogenic probes for wash-free fluorescence imaging
Xiaoli Sun,Aihua Zhang,Brenda Baker,Luo Sun,Angela Howard,John Buswell,Damien Maurel,Anastasiya Masharina,Kai Johnsson,Christopher J. Noren,Ming-Qun Xu,Ivan R. Corrêa +11 more
TL;DR: A fast‐labeling variant of SNAP‐tag, termed SNAPf, is characterized, which displays up to a tenfold increase in its reactivity towards benzylguanine substrates and enables highly sensitive spatiotemporal investigation of protein dynamics in living cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zinc Inhibition of Protein trans-Splicing and Identification of Regions Essential for Splicing and Association of a Split Intein*
Inca Ghosh,Luo Sun,Ming-Qun Xu +2 more
TL;DR: The proposed inactivation of Cys160 at the C-terminal splice junction by the chelation of zinc affects both the N-S acyl rearrangement and the transesterification steps in the splicing pathway, and is the first evidence showing that the conserved residues in block F are required for protein splicing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protein trans-Splicing To Produce Herbicide-Resistant Acetolactate Synthase
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the feasibility of expressing functional genes from two unlinked DNA loci and provide a model for the design of nontransferable transgenes in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete Genome Sequence of the Wolbachia wAlbB Endosymbiont of Aedes albopictus.
TL;DR: The complete circular genome of wAlbB from the Aa23 cell line is assembled using long-read PacBio sequencing at 500× median coverage and KEGG analysis revealed the absence of five genes in w albB which are present in other Wolbachia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Substrates for Improved Live-Cell Fluorescence Labeling of SNAP-tag
Ivan R. Corrêa,Brenda Baker,Aihua Zhang,Luo Sun,Christopher R. Provost,Grazvydas Lukinavicius,Luc Reymond,Kai Johnsson,Ming-Qun Xu +8 more
TL;DR: These new SNAP-tag substrates based on pure 6-regioisomers can significantly improve fluorescence labeling in live cells and should become powerful tools for bioimaging applications.
