如果载体构建和转染都确信没有问题的话,可能有两种原因:
1. 导入的目的基因翻译效率太低,导致整个融合蛋白水平低.这是有可能的,因为根据你的描述,该启动子介导的转录是没有问题的(空载体连上启动子后有荧光),但加入目的基因后导致翻译水平急剧下降.所以检查一下目的基因起始密码子ATG前是否加入了kozak序列,正如载体原先dsRed ATG之前的GCCACC序列,有时候的确会影响翻译.这也说明了一点,做融合蛋白最好把dsRed放在目的基因前面,因为商品化的载体一般都已经优化好了翻译必须的一些元件. 2. 导入的目的基因是有细胞毒作用的,表达蛋白的细胞都死了. |

Hi savid888
Did you add two nt or (3n + 2 nt) after the foreign gene? If not there is a problem. The reading frame will be shifted so of course, no expression of the reporter can be detected. If you did have the additional 2 nt. Well, what does the reporter gene do? One is perhaps tell you where your target protein is by the fusion nature. Another is to tell you if you have target protein expressed or not by looking at the signal of the reporter. So if the cell does not express the target protein for any reason (toxicity, for example), you will not see the luminescence (fluorescence?) from the reporter. Your control experiment is a good one to rule out that whatever negative results you got is not because of the transfection, etc. good luck |
