Plasmid DNA (pUC19 and pBR322) was sequence-specifically, covalently labelled with Cy3 fluorophores using a newly synthesised N-adenosylaziridine cofactor and the DNA methyltransferase M.TaqI. The fluorescently labelled plasmids were used for transfection of mammalian cells and their intracellular distribution was visualised by epifluorescence and confocal fluorescence microscopy. Although these prokaryotic plasmids do not contain nuclear import sequences, translocation into the nuclei was observed.
使用新合成的N-腺苷氮丙啶辅因子和DNA甲基转移酶M.TaqI,将质粒DNA(pUC19和pBR322)进行序列特异性共价标记,标记上Cy3荧光团。将荧光标记的质粒用于转染哺乳动物细胞,并通过落射荧光显微镜和共聚焦荧光显微镜观察其在细胞内的分布。尽管这些原核质粒不含核输入序列,但仍观察到其向细胞核的转运。
