Reverse genetics in Trypanosoma brucei is dependent on the tetracycline inducible system for the precise control over the expression of both genes and dsRNA. Another independent inducible system for trypanosomes would enable the control of the activities of two different genes in the same cell, providing greater experimental sophistication. Here, I describe the development of the vanillic acid based inducible expression system for T. brucei, which operates independently of, and can be used in parallel with the tetracycline inducible system.
布氏锥虫的反向遗传学依赖于四环素诱导系统来精确控制基因和双链RNA的表达。另一种针对锥虫的独立诱导系统将能够控制同一细胞中两个不同基因的活性,从而提供更高的实验复杂性。在此,我描述了基于香草酸的布氏锥虫诱导表达系统的开发,该系统独立于四环素诱导系统运行,并且可以与之并行使用。
