Dna polymerase

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States, Germany, United Kingdom

DNA polymerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of DNA molecules. It plays a crucial role in the process of DNA replication, which is essential for cell division and reproduction. DNA polymerase is responsible for adding complementary nucleotides to a DNA template, forming a new DNA strand that is an exact copy of the original.

The full-length cheY3 or cheY3* (in cheY3*, Asp79, a key residue required for the phosphorylation, was replaced by Ala (Table 1)). The cheY3 gene was first amplified by PCR (primers P15/P16) using DNA polymerase (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) with engineered BamHI and SacI cut sites at its 5′ and 3′ ends, respectively. The amplicon was first cloned into the pGEM-T Easy vector (Promega, Madison, WI) and then subcloned into the pQE80 expression vector (Qiagen, Valencia, CA), yielding a vector of pQE80CheY3/CheY3*, which encodes an N-terminal histidine (His) tag. The full-length fliM and fliN genes (stop codon removed) were PCR amplified (primers P17/P18 and P19/P20) using DNA polymerase (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) with engineered SacI at its 5′ end and FLAG tag and SalI cut site at 3′ ends. The amplicons were first cloned into the pGEM-T Easy vector and then digested using SacI and SalI and subcloned into precut pQE80CheY3/CheY3*. The resultant plasmid was then transformed into the BL21 strain that harbors GroEL-GroES chaperones for protein production. The expression of recombinant proteins in E. coli cells was induced with 1 mM isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) overnight at 16°C. Recombinant HisCheY or HisCheY* and bound proteins were purified using nickel agarose columns (Qiagen) under native conditions per manufacturers’ instructions.

Based on our qRT-PCR results, the gene expression of MASPIN (SERPINB5) has been further examined in human uveal melanoma and healthy human uvea specimens. The following primer pairs were used: 5′ - GGCAATGTCCTCTTCTCTCC - 3′ (sense), 5′- GCCGCTTGATTAGTTTCAGT - 3′ (antisense) (Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, USA). Primers were designed using Primer3web softwer. 1 μl of the cDNA was amplified in 25 μl solution containing 1.5 mM MgCl2, 1xPCR buffer (Fermentas, Germany), 0.3 mM of each deoxynucleotide (Promega, Germany), 1 unit of DNA polymerase (Fermentas, Germany) and 0.1 μM of each primer. Samples were subjected to an initial denaturation (95°C for 3 min) followed by 35 cycles of amplification (95°C for 45 sec, 60°C for 30 sec, 72°C for 1.5 min) and a final elongation step (72°C for 10 min). As positive control we used HaCaT cDNA samples. No template control (NTC) has been used to detect potential contaminations in the reactions. 10 μl of each amplification reaction was then electrophoretically separated on 1.5% agarose gel, stained with GelRed (Biotinum, USA), and visualized under UV light.

The poly (A) RNA was isolated from 20 μg of the total RNA pool using Dynal oligo (dT) 25 beads (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Following purification, the mRNA was fragmented into smaller pieces at 70 °C for 5 min in the fragmentation buffer (Ambion) and reverse-transcribed to synthesize first strand cDNA using SuperScript III reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen) and N6 random hexamers (Takara). Subsequently, second strand cDNA was synthesized using RNase H (Invitrogen) and DNA polymerase (Invitrogen). These cDNA fragments were further processed by end repair using T4 DNA polymerase, the Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase, and T4 polynucleotide kinase (NEB), and ligation of adaptors with Illumina’s adaptor oligo mix and T4 DNA ligase (Invitrogen). The products were gel purified to obtain DNA approximately 200 bp long using Qiaquick Gel Extraction Kit (Qiagen) and enriched with PCR for preparing the sequencing library.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The full-length flhFBb gene was PCR amplified (primers P19/P8) using DNA polymerase (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) with engineered BamHI and PstI cut sites at its 5′ and 3′ ends respectively. The amplicon was first cloned into the pGEM-T Easy vector (Promega, Madison, WI) and then subcloned into the pQE30 expression vector (Qiagen, Valencia, CA), which encodes an N-terminal histidine (His) tag. The resultant plasmid was then transformed into M15 cells. The expression of FlhFBb was induced using 1 mM isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG). The His-tagged recombinant protein (His6FlhFBb) was insoluble and thus purified under a denature condition using a nickel agarose column (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). The purified protein was dialyzed in a buffer containing 10 mM Tris-HCl at 4°C overnight. To produce an antiserum against FlhFBb, two rats were first immunized with 1 mg of His6FlhFBb during a 1-month period and then boosted (100 μg per rat) twice at weeks 6 and 7 (antiserum was manufactured by General Bioscience Corporation, Brisbane, CA). A similar method was used to express recombinant FliF and produce an antiserum against FliF.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Citrus leaf samples were collected from the six Citrus plants in USHRL's (USDA Horticultural Research Laboratory, Fort Pierce, Florida): C. sinensis (sweet, navel orange), C. aurantium (karum jamir, sour orange), C. reticulata (mandarin orange), C. clementina (clementina), C. aurantiifolia (sweet lime), C. japonica (Yuzu, kumquat), and C. maxima (pomelo). Total DNA was extracted from leaf midribs following the Plant Mini Kit standard protocol from Qiagen Inc. (Valencia, CA), followed by DNA quantity and quality evaluation with Nanodrop. We chose the NBS gene, Cs1g09350, which was conserved in C. clementina and C. sinensis for validating the conservation of NBS gene among different Citrus genomes. Primers used in this study were designed using Oligo 7.23 (Molecular Biology Insights, Inc., Cascade, CO, USA). DNA Polymerase (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) was used to amplify the NBS-LRR genes from Citrus DNA. For PCR, 20 μL reactions using standard conditions provided by the manufacturer for DNA Polymerase. PCR was performed using an initial denaturation at 95°C for 3 minutes, 35 cycles of 94°C for 20 seconds, 50–52°C for 20 seconds (specified by different primer sets) and 68°C for 3 minutes, follow by final extension at 68°C for 10 minutes. The cloning and sequencing analysis of amplified PCR products were conducted as previously described [43 (link)]

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.
