Gal4-UAS System in Drosophila melanogaster 생화학실험
Gal4-UAS System The GAL4-UAS system is a biochemical method used to study gene expression and function in organisms such as the fruit fly. It was developed by Andrea Brand and Norbert Perrimon in 1993 and is considered a powerful technique for studying the expression of genes. The system has two parts: the GAL4 gene, encoding the yeast transcription activator protein GAL4, and the UAS (Upstream Activation Sequence), an enhancer to which GAL4 specifically binds to activate gene transcription.

Confocal Microscopy (공초점 현미경)
Method (GAL4-UAS System ) 1. Gal4 Virgin female을 harvest한다. 2. UAS-GFP male 과 교배시킨다. 3. Egg를 6시간 동안 받는다. (여기까진 각반 반장과 조교들이 이미진행) 4. 96h(A.E.L.)~120h(A.E.L) 정도 지난 larva를 Selection 한다. 5. 슬라이드 글라스에 larva를 올린다. 6. 형광 현미경으로 관찰한다.
Western blot sample preparation Eppendorf tube에 lysis buffer를 넣는다. Larva를 selection해서 tube에 넣는다. Homogenization한다. -70℃에 보관한다.
