The cDNA encoding human Pin1 PPIase domain was cloned into the pET28a expression vector (Addgene Inc., Cambridge, MA, USA), as reported previously [13 (link),30 (link)]. Site-directed mutagenesis to yield the S138A mutation in the Pin1 PPIase domain was performed by KOD FX (Toyobo, Osaka, Japan). The expression and purification of the S138A Pin1 PPIase mutant was carried out as described previously [13 (link),30 (link)].

Optimizing Vaccine Construct Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The sequences of vaccine constructs (V2) were subjected to the Java Codon Adaptation tool (JCAT) for reverse translation and codon adaptation to examine the peptide expression of the designed vaccine [42 (link)]. The GC content and CAI (codon adaptation index) were computed to access the expression level of the cloned vaccine sequence. A CAI score of 1.0 is considered ideal, however, a score of >0.8 may be considered good. The optimum percentage of GC content should range from 30% to 70%. GC values outside of this range result in adverse effects on transcription and translation, which can be used to determine the degree of protein expression [43 (link)]. The snapgene tool (https://www.snapgene.com/, accessed on 4 January 2023) was used to clone the adapted sequence of the finalized vaccine construct in the E. coli expression system. The pET28a+ expression vector for this purpose was obtained from the addgene server (https://www.addgene.org/, accessed on 4 January 2023).

Cloning and Expression of Botrytis cinerea Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Coding sequences were amplified from Botrytis cinerea cDNA or plasmid DNA. Recipient vectors and fragments were cut using indicated restriction sites (Table S3). Vectors were dephosphorylated prior ligation and fragment purified via gel-extraction if necessary. For transient expression, pGreen II derivatives (pFF04 and pFF18) were used as recipient vectors (Künzl et al., 2016) . Both vectors harbour a cauliflower mosaic virus (CMV) 35S promotor, an N-terminal signal peptide (SP) and a kanamycin resistance cassette. A hemagglutinin (HA)tag for immunological detection was added at the C-terminus of the coding sequence via the reverse primers. The Hip1-GFP fusion was constructed by GreenGate cloning (Lampropoulos et al., 2013) , using the following modules: 35S promotor (pGGA004), ER signal sequence (pGGB006), linker-GFP (pGGD001) and RBCS terminator (pGGE001) The Hip1 coding sequence devoid of BsaI restriction sites for GreenGate cloning was synthesized by Biocat (Germany). For recombinant protein expression, the Hip1 sequence was amplified without signal peptide and cloned into the pET28a (+) expression vector (Addgene, USA), eventually having a His-tag at the N-terminus. All primers used are shown in Table S3. Gene constructs were verified by sequencing (Seq-It, Germany). For colocalization studies, the PM marker spRFP-TMD23 (pFK44) was used (Scheuring et al., 2012) .

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
