So if it's not a cell that's going through division you can't use a retrovirus to express the protein.
如果细胞不在分裂阶段,你就不能用逆转录病毒来表达某个蛋白
Essentially, what they are is it's a protein that spans the membrane of a cell.
本质上来说,它是一个横跨细胞膜的蛋白质。
They're red because they contain a special protein called hemoglobin which is very concentrated inside the cell.
红细胞的红色源于,其内部一种叫做血红蛋白的特殊蛋白质,血红蛋白在细胞内的浓度很高
All those things have to happen in an orderly fashion, in enough quantity in order for a particular cell to make a protein.
所有的步骤必须按部就班,保质保量地进行,让一个特定的细胞合成特定的蛋白质
An alternate way is to go to the cell that's making the protein that you want.
另一种方法是,找到制造你想要的蛋白质的细胞
You could imagine a protein that's existing inside a cell at some level of abundance.
想像一下,在细胞中有一种大量存在的蛋白
The one that's on the top here is called ligand-gated ion channel and an ion channel is a protein that sits in the surface of a cell.
最上面的这个叫作配体门控离子通道,离子通道是一类位于细胞表面的蛋白
For now, just picture it in this simple way as a molecule, usually a protein, that's embedded in the cell membrane and many receptors have a part of them that is extracellular.
现在,我只把这种分子图示出来,受体通常是一种蛋白质,它们镶嵌在细胞膜上,很多受体还有部分结构露在细胞外
There are 100 of these molecules, when a receptor gets activated a kinase activity gets activated, the kinase acts on the protein, the protein gets switched on, something new starts to happen inside the cell.
有一百个这样的分子,当受体被激活,激酶被激活后,激酶作用于蛋白,使蛋白活化,细胞中就会发生一些新变化
These are two examples I just gave you of introducing genes that affect the life of a cell, either by making it express a protein that it's not making properly that's important to its life, or by intentionally killing a cell by having it express a fatal gene.
刚才我所举两个例子,都只是影响单一细胞生命过程的,无论是使无法正常表达的重要蛋白,正常表达也好,或是有意地,导入致命的基因杀死细胞也好
That's making the cell look foreign because some of that foreign protein is on the surface with MHC1.
这使得整个细胞亦被视为外源物,因为某些外源蛋白,和MHC1共同出现在细胞表面
When the ligand is present it binds to the receptor outside the cell and it activates this G-protein.
当配体存在并与细胞表面的受体结合时,就会激活G蛋白
If the messenger RNA for protein is not present in a cell, then that can't be translated, obviously, and the protein can't be made.
如果细胞中没有,用来合成蛋白质的mRNA,那就不能进行翻译,很明显,蛋白质也不能被合成
The G-protein then goes on to create some other biochemical changes inside the cell.
然后G蛋白在细胞内,诱发其它的一些生化反应
Well, that anti-sense strand is shown here as the red and the cell is naturally making the blue or sense strand of messenger RNA for a particular protein.
好的,反义链在这里以红色表示,细胞自身会造出合成某种,特定的蛋白质的蓝色RNA正义链
We want not only for the cell to be able to synthesize the DNA, you want it to be able to express the protein off the DNA as well.
我们不仅希望细胞能复制DNA,还希望它能表达目标DNA所编码的蛋白
And you could interfere with a translation by degrading messenger RNA, for example. If you had a way to specifically chew up all the RNA molecules that are responsible for making a particular protein, you could stop it from being expressed even though your cell is trying to make it.
而你就可以通过,降解其mRNA来进行干扰,再举个例子,如果你能把表达特定蛋白的RNA,统统揪出来捣毁的话,你也能阻止这段基因表达,哪怕是你的细胞在努力表达这段基因
