DNA methylation editing kit and DNA methylation editing method
A DNA methylation editing kit comprises: (1) a fusion protein of inactivated CRISPR-associated endonuclease Cas9 (dCas9) having no nuclease activity and a tag peptide array in which plural tag peptides are linked by linkers, or an RNA or DNA coding therefor; (2) a fusion protein(s) of a tag peptide-binding portion and a methylase or demethylase, or an RNA(s) or DNA(s) coding therefor; and (3) a guide RNA(s) (gRNA(s)) comprising a sequence complementary to a DNA sequence within 1 kb of a desired site of methylation or demethylation, or a DNA(s) expressing the gRNA(s).
Production of Motif-Specific and Context-Independent Antibodies Using Peptide Libraries as Antigens
A method is provided for producing motif-specific, context-independent antibodies that recognize a plurality of peptides or proteins within a genome that contain the same post-translationally modified motif. The method includes the step of immunizing a host with a degenerate peptide library antigen featuring (i) a fixed target motif containing one or more invariant amino acids including at least one modified amino acid, and (ii) a plurality of degenerate amino acids flanking the motif. Motif-specific, context-independent antibodies produced by the disclosed method are also provided. The method encompasses motifs consisting of a single modified amino acid, as well as short motifs comprising multiple invariant amino acids including one or more modified amino acids, such as all or part of kinase consensus substrate motifs, protein-protein binding motifs, or other cell signaling motifs. Methods of using the antibodies, e.g. for genome-wide profiling, are also provided.
USE OF PLL FOR IMPROVING THE STABILITY OF MOLECULES IN SOLUTION
The invention relates to a molecular complex comprising at least one polylysine conjugate (PLL), comprising a main PLL straight chain and at least one molecule F having an average molecular weight of between 50 daltons and 1000 daltons that is covalently bonded to said main chain, and at least one molecule M that is unstable in solution, the conjugate(s) and the molecule(s) M being bonded by means of a non-covalent bond. The invention also relates to a composition comprising a complex of this kind, to a method for obtaining said composition and use thereof, and to the use of one or more PLL-based conjugates for improving the hydrophilicity, the effectiveness, and the activity of a molecule that is unstable in solution, over a time period that is compatible with the use of said molecule. The invention also relates to a method for identifying a PLL-based conjugate or a combination of a plurality of PLL-based conjugates that makes it possible to improve the hydrophilicity, the effectiveness, and the activity of a molecule that is unstable in solution, and to a kit for implementing said method.
