Bisulfite-converted DNA was used to PCR amplify the PTPRO CpG island from -208 bp to +236 bp with respect to the transcription start site as described earlier; ref. [7 (link),8 (link),19 (link)]. The PCR product was purified using a gel extraction kit (Qiagen, Germany). The purified PCR product was used for bisulfite sequencing and was cloned into the pDrive vector according to the instructions of the PCR cloning kit (Qiagen, Germany). Ten randomly selected clones were subjected to automated sequencing. Direct sequencing was performed using the Thermo Sequenase Radiolabeled terminator cycle sequencing kit (Qiagen, Germany) with the primer hGlepp1-BS-F3 (5′-TAGGGGGATTGGAAAGGTAG-3′) following the manufacturer’s protocol.

Chicken Hes4 (Hairy1), Jag1, Jag2, Notch1 and Lfng were kind gifts of Nicolas Daudet (University College London, UK). Fragments of mouse Jag1, Jag2 and Notch1 and of human Jag1 and Notch1 were cloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR; Table 1) from, respectively, E12.5 mouse cDNA (kind gift of Perrine Barraud, Dept. Physiology, Development and Neuroscience, University of Cambridge, UK) and cDNA prepared from 7‐week‐old dissected human foetal facial region (see previous section). Primer‐BLAST software from NCBI (Ye et al. 2012) was used to design appropriate PCR primers (Table 1) and check them for specificity. The oligonucleotide properties calculator program OligoCalc (Kibbe, 2007; http://www.basic.northwestern.edu/biotools/oligocalc.html) was used to check the melting temperature and self‐complementarity of the primers. cDNA fragments were amplified by PCR and the products cloned into pDrive (Qiagen) using the Qiagen PCR cloning kit. Sequencing was performed by the Biochemistry Department DNA Sequencing Facility, University of Cambridge (Cambridge, UK). Digoxigenin‐labelled antisense riboprobes were generated using standard methods (Henrique et al. 1995) and in situ hybridisation performed on cryosections as previously described (O'Neill et al. 2007), except that the slides were not treated with proteinase K.

Cloning and Screening of PCR Amplicons

PCR amplicons were cloned with the Qiagen PCR cloning Kit® (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Cloning followed the protocol described in Bracamonte et al. [59 (link)]. For clone screening, 1 μl of the denatured clones was used as template for a PCR with the universal M13 primers: M13_Funi (5′ACGACGTTGTAAAACGACGGCCAG 3′), and M13_RP15 (5′TTCACACAGGAAACAGCTATGACC 3′). The reaction had a final volume of 10 μl, included 1 μl 10x Dreamtaq Buffer, 0.5 μl dNTPs (10 mM), 1 μl of each primer (5 pmol / μl), 0.1 μl Taq Polymerase (Dreamtaq®), and ran using the following thermal profile: initial denaturing step at 95 °C for 1 min, followed by 25 cycles of denaturing at 96 °C for 10 s, annealing at 50 °C for 10 s, elongation at 72 °C for 1 min, with a final elongation at 72 °C for 7 min. Two μl of this PCR product were then loaded in a 1% agarose gel and run for 30 min at 90 V, and ultimately stained with Ethidium bromide to visualize bands. We sequenced the clones that were positive for the amplicon. We sequenced between 16 and 48 clones per amplification in order to detect rare alleles.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
From the genome sequence of N. gargensis (NCBI GenBank accession no. CP002408), the putative bioF, bioA, bioD and bioB genes were chosen for cloning (Table S1). Six different ORFs that were annotated as putative α/β-hydrolase fold proteins and could therefore serve as counterpart of the bacterial BioH were also selected as well as four possible candidates that could serve as bioC analogues (bioC1-4). The ORFs Ngar_c21820, Ngar_c24650, Ngar_c14400 (i. e. estN1), Ngar_c30910 (i. e. estN2), Ngar_c32780 and Ngar_c35080, which could possibly encode a BioH analogue, were amplified with specific primers, cloned into pDrive (PCR Cloning Kit, Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and transformed into competent E. coli DH5α cells. As they encode carboxylesterases, the different clones were first tested on TBT agar plates at 37 °C for general activity. The plates were incubated for up to 6 days at 37 °C in order to see halos around active E. coli colonies expressing active carboxylesterases from N. gargensis. The genes estN1 and estN2 from the active clones and the bioFADBC genes were further separately cloned into the multiple-cloning site of pET21a(+) expression vectors (Novagen/Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) encoding a C-terminal six-fold histidine tag (His6-tag).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNA isolation from in vitro cultivated axenic MV and PC was performed using a Trizol (5Prime, Hamburg, Germany)-based method as previously described [45 (link)]. For reverse transcription, 2 μg total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis using oligonucleotide CD3-RT (5’-ATC TCT TGA AAG GAT CCT GCA GGT26 V-3’). PCR products were cloned using the PCR cloning Kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) or the TOPO XL cloning Kit (Invitrogen). The complete list of primer sequences used for empim and emcdc25 cDNA amplification and characterization is given in S2 Table. Upon cloning, PCR products were directly sequenced using primers binding to vector sequences adjacent to the multiple cloning site by Sanger Sequencing (Microsynth Seqlab, Göttingen, Germany). The sequences of all genes newly characterized in this work have been submitted to the GenBank database and are available under the accession numbers ON005010 (empim) and ON005011 (emcdc25). Accession numbers of all other proteins or genes analysed in this work are listed in S3 Table.

P5P6 Protein Transcript Cloning

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The P5P6 protein transcript was created by recreating the P5P6 splicing event in the full length RON cDNA which had previously been attached to GFP. The region between exons 3 and 8 was amplified using the primers (F – GGGACCAGGTTTTCCAGGTACC and R – GGTACCTGGTTCCTGGACCTTCCAG) from a primary pancreatic cancer sample. The PCR amplicon was TA cloned using a PCR Cloning Kit (Qiagen) and competent DH5α E. Coli (Invitrogen). The full length RON+eGFP vector and the P5P6 containing vector were cut with specific endonucleases HindII and KpnI (NEB) and ligated using T4 DNA Ligase (NEB). DNA sequencing confirmed correct P5P6 sequence and the cDNA was then transferred into a lentiviral plasmid for transfection. After transfection selective puromycin media was used and the TE300 inverted fluorescence microscope (Nikon) was used to screen for green fluorescence.

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.
