Overview:
Tau-441 or Tau-F is a member of the Tau family of proteins which function to stabilize the microtubules by binding to them. Tau proteins are subject to phosphorylation and this phenomenon regulates the association of the Tau protein with the microtubules (1). Deposits of Alzheimer's disease AD-associated proteins, such as hyperphosphorylated Tau, as well as other shared misfolded proteins, such as, beta-amyloid precursor protein (βAPP), ubiquitin, and various chaperones and protein kinases are thought to play a pathologic role in the cognitive decline and muscular failure. Malfunctioning of Tau proteins is associated with microtubules disintegration and collapsing of the neuronal transport system (2).
Gene Aliases:
Tau-F, (N2R4), Tau-4, MAPT, MSTD, PPND, DDPAC, MAPTL, MTBT1, MTBT2, FTDP-17, FLJ31424, MGC138549
Genbank Number:
P10636-8

实验非常不顺,想构建CDNA文库,但是从mRNA开始屡次失败,考虑主要是纯化过程中损失过多。想从总RNA入手,但是不知道实验步骤。不知那位大侠能提供总RNA建库的实验步骤。另外我现在手头有OligoDT,RT酶,苦于没有第二连合成试剂盒,不知道能否用普通PCR试剂盒Teq酶替代第二链合成过程中的DNA聚合酶I。好像有种方法合成第二链时,不需要另外的引物,利用降解的RNA作引物即可,我想直接设定PCR两个循环,合成第二链,不知方法可行否?愁啊,等着毕业,时间紧急,恳请帮忙。谢谢。
