RiRZS1, NCBI Accession no. JN166691, was obtained as previously described by Koeduka et al. (2011) (link). RpBAS, NCBI Accession no. AF326911, was synthesized from GeneArt (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). For heterologous expression of RpBAS and RiRZS1 in tobacco plants, the full-length cDNAs were amplified with KOD FX Neo polymerase (Toyobo Co. Ltd., Osaka, Japan) using gene-specific primers (Supplementary Table 1). The resulting PCR products of RpBAS and RiRZS1 containing flanking NdeI and XhoI or SalI restriction sites were cloned into the NdeI and SalI-digested pRI201-AN vector (Takara Bio USA, Mountain View, CA, USA) independently via the intermediate pGEM-T easy TA-cloning vector (Promega, Tokyo, Japan). The RpBAS expression cassette containing the CaMV35S promoter with Arabidopsis alcohol dehydrogenase 5′-untranslated region and heat shock protein terminator was amplified using PCR and cloned into the pro35S:RiRZS1 plasmid behind the RiRZS1 expression cassette by InFusion (Takara Bio USA, Mountain View, CA, USA), according to manufacturer's instructions. The resulting vector carrying pro35S:RiRZS1-pro35S:RpBAS was transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 using electroporation.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The coding regions of AR-V1, -V4, and -V6 were PCR amplified from 22Rv1 cell cDNA and cloned into the pGEM-T EASY TA-cloning vector separately (Promega). Their expression constructs were generated by subcloning the respective coding region from the TA- plasmids into the pLVX-puro vector (Clontech). The FLAG-tagged AR-V constructs were generated by adding 3 tandem FLAG epitopes (DYKDHDG-DYKDHDI-DYKDDDDK) in front of the AR-V genes, and the NLS-AR-V6 construct was generated by adding the nuclear localization signal sequence (PKKKRKV) before the AR-V6 gene. BRET-fusion constructs of AR-V1, -V4, and -V6 were generated by subcloning the AR-V1, -V4, and -V6 cDNA from the respective TA-plasmids into the BamHI and XbaI sites of the pcDNA3.1-RLuc8.6 and TurboFP635 vectors (34 (link)). All plasmids were sequence verified. The sequences of the primers used for PCR cloning are listed in the Supplementary Table.

Bacterial Identification by Colony PCR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used a colony PCR amplification method for identification of bacterial isolates. Briefly, colonies on the surfaces of agar plates were suspended in a 1·5 ml microtube containing 200 μl of lysis buffer (1% Triton X-100, 20 mmol l−1 Tris-HCl, pH 8·0, 2 mmol l−1 EDTA) and boiled for 10 min. After cell debris was pelleted, 2 μl of the supernatant was directly used for PCR. The reaction mixture (25 μl) contained 1·25 units of Takara Ex Taq DNA polymerase (Clontech, Mountain View, CA), 1× Ex Taq reaction buffer, 200 μmol l−1 of each dNTP and 0·2 μmol l−1 of each of the 16S rRNA gene primers 27f and 1492r. The cycling conditions were 95°C for 5 min, followed by 30 cycles of 94°C for 1 min, 55°C for 1 min and 72°C for 1 min, with a final extension at 72°C for 10 min. The amplified DNA fragments were cloned into pGEM-T Easy TA cloning vector (Promega, Madison, WI), and the nucleotide sequences were determined at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (http://mbim.uams.edu/research-cores/dna-sequencing-core-facility) using a 3130XL Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). We analysed each DNA sequence via BlastN searches at the NCBI website and determined isolates’ affiliation to known genera and species by their sequence similarity.

E-gene 346-bp fragments from DENV2-positive samples were cloned into a pGEM-T Easy TA cloning vector (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) and chemically transformed into DH5α Escherichia coli. White transformed colonies were randomly selected from LB/Amp/IPTG/X-gal agar plates and subjected to colony PCR to check for the presence of an insert. Using a Purelink Plasmid miniprep kit (Invitrogen), plasmid DNA was then isolated from overnight cultures of single positive clones grown in Luria–Bertani broth containing 100 µg ml−1 ampicillin. Six to 10 clones from each human sample and 14 clones from each mosquito sample were sequenced using M13 universal primers. The DENV2 E gene sequences generated from both humans and mosquitoes were submitted to the DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) under accession numbers LC030023–LC030105.

Genomic DNA was isolated from well-expanded leaves from the field grown plants following the protocol of Rogers and Bendich [22 ]. All PCR amplifications were carried out in a 20 μl reaction volume containing 50 ng of template DNA, 800 μM of dNTPs, 2 mM of MgCl2, 10 pmol each of forward and reverse primers and enzyme Taq polymerase (1 Unit, i-Taq DNA polymerase, Intron Biotechnology, Inc.). The PCR profile included initial denaturation at 94°C for 5 min followed by 36 cycles of 94°C for 30 sec, annealing at 62°C for 30 sec and 72°C for 1 min 30 sec and a final extension at 72°C for 12 min. For the purpose of sequencing, amplified fragments were cloned in the pGEM-T Easy TA cloning vector (Promega, Madison, USA). Sequencing was done by capillary electrophoresis on Applied Biosystems 3730 Genetic Analyzer. Sequencing of each sample was done in a minimum of 3 independent replicates to remove chances of any PCR related error. Sequence files were assembled and analysed using EditSeq, SeqMan and MegAlign software packages of DNAStar (DNAStar Inc.). For mapping, marker genotyping data of the mapping population were added to the existing map of B. juncea [21 (link)] using the program JoinMap version 4.0 [23 ]. Genome walk was performed using PCR genomic libraries based on the method described by GenomeWalker Universal Kit (Clontech Ltd.).

Cloning and Characterization of Glucose Transporter CL353

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The glucose transporter candidate CL353 was found in a C. sinensis expressed sequence tag (EST) raw database (http://grc.kribb.re.kr/pipeline2). This gene matched a protein sequence (protein id GAA56139.1) in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) nucleotide database. The nucleotide sequence of CL353 was prepared using chromosomal nucleotide sequence DF144168.1. The PCR primers for probe DNA fragment preparation were forward, 5′-TTA ATA CGG AAA CTC TAT GGC-3′ (corresponding to nucleotide 602-622 of the coding region), and reverse, 5′-TAT TCA ATA TAT TGG CTC GGG-3′ (corresponding to nucleotide 972-992 of the coding region). Five micrograms of total RNA prepared from adult C. sinensis was transcribed and used as a template for subsequent PCR. PCR was performed according to the following protocol: predenaturation at 94 °C for 10 min followed by 35 cycles (94 °C for 60 s, 55 °C for 60 s, and 72 °C for 90 s) and final extension at 72 °C for 10 min. The PCR product obtained was subcloned into pGEM-T Easy TA cloning vector (Promega, USA), and its nucleotide sequence was confirmed. The [ 32 P]dCTP-labeled probe was synthesized using a random primer DNA labeling kit (TaKaRa, Japan) from the PCR clone and used as probe for screening of the C. sinensis cDNA library and for Northern blot analysis.

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.
