T7 kits

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The T7 kits are a series of products designed for in vitro transcription and translation. The kits provide the necessary components, including the T7 RNA polymerase, buffer, and other reagents, to enable the synthesis of RNA from DNA templates containing the T7 promoter sequence. These kits are commonly used in research applications to produce RNA for a variety of purposes, such as mRNA synthesis, RNAi studies, and in vitro translation experiments.

Xenopus Oocyte Electrophysiology Protocol

cRNA was synthesized by in vitro transcription using message machine T7 kits (Ambion, Austin, TX, USA) and injected into stage V and VI oocytes which were surgically isolated from female Xenopus laevis (Nasco, Modesto, CA, USA) anesthetized with 0.17% tricaine methanesulphonate (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). The injected oocytes were maintained in modified Barth`s solution which contained 88 mM NaCl, 1 mM KCl, 0.4 mM CaCl, 0.33 mM Ca(NO3)2, 1 mM MgSO4, 2.4 mM NaHCO3, 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), and 50 µg/mL gentamicin sulfate at 17°C. The currents were measured three to six days after injection.

In vitro Synthesis and Cloning of Fluorescent Protein Plasmids

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To generate cRNAs, plasmids were linearized and in vitro transcribed using a mMessage mMachine T3 (Ambion #AM1348) and T7 kits (Ambion #AM1344), according to manufacturer’s protocol. The synthesized cRNAs were then purified using an RNAeasy kit (Qiagen #74104) and stored at -80°C. The pYX-EGFP plasmid was created by transferring T3-T7 cassette from pRNA-EGFP vector [66 (link)] into the pXY-Asc vector (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA) using PCR cloning. The pYX-EYFP plasmid was created from pYX-EYFP plasmid by replacing coding sequence for EGFP by EYFP. AURKC coding sequence [31 (link)] was cloned by PCR into pYX-EYFP to create pYX-AURKC-EYFP plasmid. pIVT-AURKB/C-EGFP and pGEMHE-mEGFP-mCDK5RAP2 plasmids were described previously [22 (link), 31 (link)].

In Vitro Reconstitution of GAIT Complex

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Capped, poly(A)-tailed luciferase (Luc) reporter upstream of the ceruloplasmin (Cp) 3’UTR GAIT element (Luc-Cp GAIT) and T7 gene 10 reporter transcripts were prepared using mMessage mMachine SP6 and T7 kits (Ambion), respectively (Jia et al., 2008 (link)). For in vitro reconstitution of GAIT complex, His-tagged S886A EPRS linker (permitting site-specific Ser999 phosphorylation) was phosphorylated by immunocomplexed Myc-S6K1 (wild-type and mutant) in presence of ATP (10 μM), and re-purified using Ni-NTA purification kit (Thermo-Scientific). Purified NSAP1, phospho-L13a, and GAPDH were generated as described (Jia et al., 2008 (link)). The GAIT complex was reconstituted by incubating 5 pmol each of purified EPRS linker, NSAP1, GAPDH, and phospho-L13a. The reconstituted complex was incubated with Luc-Cp-GAIT (200 ng) and T7 gene 10 (200 ng) template transcripts, and added to wheat germ extract system (Promega) containing Met-free amino acid mixture and 35S-Met (Perkin-Elmer). Translation of Luc-Cp-GAIT and T7 gene 10 transcripts was visualized by resolution on 10% SDS-PAGE and autoradiography.

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.
