Overview:
LRRK2 or leucine-rich repeat kinase is a protein with an ankryin repeat region, a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain, a kinase domain, a DFG-like motif, a RAS domain, a GTPase domain, a MLK-like domain, and a WD40 domain. Mutations in LRRK2 are the most frequent known cause of autosomal dominant and idiopathic Parkinson's disease with prevalent mutations being found within the GTPase and kinase domains (1). LRRK2 cooperates with MET to promote efficient tumor cell growth and survival in various cancers. Down-regulation of LRRK2 in cultured tumor cells compromises MET activation and selectively reduces downstream MET signaling to mTOR and STAT3 (2).

我在做5RACE,选用TaKaRa公司的RNA反转录酶(RNaseH-),不知道这个酶好不好,有什么需要注意的。
没有序列识别的功能,他就是简单的催化相邻DNA链的5-P末端和3'-OH末端以磷酸二酯键结合的反应,需ATP作辅酶。 不仅可以催化粘性末端之间或平滑末端之间的DNA的连接,也催化DNA与RNA之间以及少数RNA之间的连接。
反转录酶(Reversetranscripatase)是以RNA为模板指导三磷酸脱氧核苷酸合成互补DNA(cDNA)的酶。哺乳类C型病毒的反转录酶和鼠类B型病毒的反转录酶都是一条多肽链。鸟类RNA病毒的反转录酶则由两上亚基结构。真核生物中也都分离出具有不同结构的反转录酶。
