The Eaf2 coding sequence (CDS) was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using murine cDNA, which was reverse transcribed from total RNA extracted from the rat cells. This was maintained in our laboratory as a template. The primers used were as follows: Eaf2-CDS forward, 5′-GTATGAAAGCTTAAGGCCAAAAGCGG-3′ and reverse, 5′-GCCCGAATTCATCTCACAAATGTTTTCTCTGT-3′. The primers were synthesized by Sangon Biotech (Shanghai, China). The PCR was performed using a Life Express PCR Instrument (Bioer, Hangzhou, China) and the following cycling conditions were used: 95 °C for 5 min; 95°C for 30 sec, 55°C for 30 sec, 72°C for 60 sec, 30 cycles; 72°C for 5 min and 4°C for 2 min. The products were purified using a multifunctional DNA purification kit (BioTeke, Beijing, China). The sequencing was performed by Sangon Biotech). The coding sequence was inserted into the p enhanced green fluorescence protein-N1 vector (Clontech, Mountain View, CA, USA) by the restriction enzymes FastDigest HindIII and FastDigest EcoRI (Fermentas, Burlington, CA, USA). The vector was sequenced for verification and was named as Eaf2 OE.

Genome Walking for Full-length phaC DNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genome walking with inverse affinity nested PCR (IAN-PCR) was carried out to obtain the full-length phaC DNA sequences [61 (link)]. WGA seawater DNA was digested with FastDigest EcoRI (Fermentas, Lithuania) and self-ligated using a DNA Ligation Kit Ver1.2 (TaKaRa, Japan). For each genetic group, two sets of primers (for two rounds of amplification) (Additional file 6: Table S1) were designed based on the partial phaC sequences obtained in the previous step. The first round of amplification (inverse affinity PCR) included a 5′-biotinylated primer that enabled the product to be purified using the KiloBase Binder Kit (Invitrogen, USA) and serve as a template for the second round of amplification (nested PCR). DNA sequences were determined by performing the same cloning and sequencing steps described in the previous section. Full-length phaC sequences were predicted in silico by assembling the genome walking DNA fragments using the SeqMan tool (DNASTAR, USA).

The plasmids were prepared by amplifying the gene encoding the metagenomic DNA of the samples extracted for the sequences available in the LBMP55 . The following specific primers (Sigma-Aldrich) were synthesized using the commercial PCRBIO Ultra Mix 2 × Kit26 (link): forward 5'-TATAgaattcTTCGGACGCAATCCAGACACCAATCC-3', which contains the restriction site EcoRI, and reverse 3'-TATAaagcttTTACTTGAACAGCAATTGAG-5', which contains the restriction sites EcoRI and HindIII. The fragment corresponding to the gene was purified by the Zymoclean Gel DNA Recovery Kit from ZymoResearch. The vector pET28a ( +) (INVITROGEN) and insert were restricted with restriction enzymes (FastDigest EcoRI, Thermo Scientific; and FastDigest HindIII, Thermo Scientific) and dephosphorylated with the enzyme Fast Alkaline Phosphatase (1 U/µL, Thermo Scientific). The connection between the insert and the vector was performed according to the protocol of Sambrook and Russel56 (link) using the T4 DNA ligase enzyme (New England Biolabs) in a 3:1 ratio (insert: vector).

Recipient sheep were euthanized and fetuses collected at day 75 or 120 of gestation. Samples collected from different tissues were used for genomic DNA extraction using the DNeasy Blood & Tissue extraction kit (QIAGEN).

In order to determine transfection efficiencies using flow cytometry, we modified the vectors pX330-U6-Chimeric_BB-CBh-hSpCas94 (link) (a gift from Feng Zhang, Addgene plasmid #42230) and pX330A_d-Cas9–1 × 4 [Nakagawa 2015] (a gift from Takashi Yamamoto, Addgene plasmid #63598) using the T2A peptide skipping sequence to express EGFP from the same mRNA transcript as the Cas9 protein. PX330 or pX330A and the gBlock Gene Fragment (Integrative DNA Technologies) FseI-NLS-T2A-EGFP-EcoRI containing EGFP were cut with FseI (New England BioLabs) and FastDigest EcoRI (ThermoFisher Scientific) and ligated using T4 DNA Ligase (New England BioLabs). We named this new vector pU6-(BbsI)_CBh-Cas9-T2A-EGFP (DNASU UnSC00746685). SgRNAs used in the study (Supplementary Table S1) were designed using the CRISPR design tool at crispr.mit.edu.9 (link) DNA oligos were synthesized with the overhangs for cloning into pX330g or pX330g_dCas9 (Integrative DNA Technology). Drop-in of sgRNAs followed the cloning protocol described in Cong et al4 (link). 2013. The Gal4-p65 fusion was expressed from plasmid CMV-Gal4p65_MV1 (DNASU UnSC00746686). Annotated sequences of the plasmids used in this study are available online (https://benchling.com/hayneslab/f_/V1mVw1Lp-chromatin-crispr-interference/).

Isolation of total DNA was performed via the method employed by Lee et al., with minor changes1 (link),28 (link),29 (link). Overnight cultures harboring plasmids of interest were inoculated 1:100 in LB kanamycin. Cultures were grown to an OD600 of ~0.3, and then 2 mL of culture was pelleted and frozen at –80 °C. Cell pellets were resuspended in 400 μL of 50 mM Tris/50 mM EDTA, pH 8, and then permeabilized with 8 μL of 50 mg/mL lysozyme (Sigma Aldrich, USA) in 10 mM Tris/1 mM EDTA, pH 8, followed by incubation at 37 °C for 30 minutes. Cells were then lysed by the addition of 8 μL of 5% SDS and 8 μL of 20 mg/mL Proteinase K solution (Qiagen, USA), after which they were mixed with a syringe with a 21-gauge, 1.5-inch needle, followed by incubation at 50 °C for 30 minutes. After inactivating Proteinase K by incubation at 75 °C for 10 min, 2 μL of 100 mg/mL RNase A solution (Qiagen, USA) was added and then incubated at 37 °C for 30 minutes. Total DNA was extracted via a phenol:chloroform extraction, followed by ethanol precipitation as described previously1 (link). Isolated gDNA was digested for 6 hours at 37 °C with Fast Digest EcoRI (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA).

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.
