Specific depletion of proteins from cultured cells using RNA interference (RNAi) has been a useful technique in assessing protein function for many years. RNAi allows the degradation of specific, targeted mRNA, allowing the effects of protein depletion on cellular processes to be examined. Here, I present a protocol for the depletion of proteins from cultured HeLa cells and list specific reagents and considerations for targeting the endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT).
多年来,利用RNA干扰(RNAi)从培养细胞中特异性去除蛋白质一直是评估蛋白质功能的一项有用技术。RNAi可使特定的靶向mRNA降解,从而能够研究蛋白质缺失对细胞过程的影响。在此,我介绍一种从培养的HeLa细胞中去除蛋白质的方案,并列出用于靶向运输所需的内体分选复合体(ESCRT)的特定试剂和注意事项。
