Determining the Localization of NCOA7-AS Through GFP Tagging and Fluorescence Microscopy
PublicIn Multiple Sclerosis patients, previous experiments have determined the structure, potential function, and regulation of the oxidative damage resistance protein nuclear receptor coactivator-7 alternate start (NCOA7-AS) through induction with Interferon-Beta (IFN-Beta). However, the subcellular localization of NCOA7-AS remains unknown. In this project, the localization will be determined by fusing GFP to NCOA7-AS, expressing the fusion protein in HT1080 and HeLa cells, and using fluorescence microscopy. Cells will also be treated with IFN-Beta to see if this alters NCOA7-AS localization. The GFP microscopy data indicate that NCOA7-AS localization is diffuse in cells with no clear subcellular localization, and that addition of IFN-Beta does not alter the localization.
