5 protocols using cyanine5 maleimide

1

Plasmid DNA Preparation and mRNA Synthesis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plasmid DNA preparations were carried out by using the QIAspin miniprep kit (QIAGEN). PCRs were carried out using the HotStarTaq master mix kit (QIAGEN). The aac(6)-Ib mRNA was synthesized in vitro using the MEGAscript high-yield transcription T7 kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the recommendations of the supplier. Labeling of the 5′-end was carried out in the dark using the 5′ EndTag Nucleic Acid Labeling system (Vector Laboratories) with the fluorescent dye cyanine5 maleimide (Lumiprobe). Secondary structure of the aac(6)-Ib mRNA was determined using mfold (49 (link)).

Plasmid DNA preparations were carried out by using the QIAspin miniprep kit (QIAGEN). PCRs were carried out using the HotStarTaq master mix kit (QIAGEN). The aac(6ʹ)-Ib mRNA was synthesized in vitro using the MEGAscript high-yield transcription T7 kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the recommendations of the supplier. Labeling of the 5ʹ-end was carried out in the dark using the 5ʹ EndTag Nucleic Acid Labeling system (Vector Laboratories) with the fluorescent dye cyanine5 maleimide (Lumiprobe). Secondary structure of the aac(6ʹ)-Ib mRNA was determined using mfold [49 (link)].

Cas13 crRNA Design and Synthesis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The crRNAs were designed using the Cas13design tool66 (link). The crRNA plasmids were cloned using standard restriction-ligation cloning. Forward and reverse oligos for each spacer (IDT) were annealed and inserted into a pHR backbone using T4 DNA Ligase (NEB). The backbone was modified from Addgene (#121514). Spacer sequences and predicted efficiency score for all crRNAs can be found in Supplementary Data 1. Some crRNAs were synthesized by Synthego using solid-phase phosphoramidite chemistry to contain 3’ Um modifications with additional 5’ Cy5 labeling67 (link). A protected 3’-thiol moiety was installed using Thiol-Modifier C6 S-S (Cat# 10-1936-90E, Glen Research). Following cleavage, deprotection and isolation, the free thiol was liberated using dithiothreitol and then reacted with Cyanine5 Maleimide (Cat# 43080, Lumiprobe) following the manufacturer’s guidelines. Purity and identity were confirmed via HPLC/ESI-MS. These are listed in Supplementary Data 1. They were used in the treatment tests as described below.

Site-Specific Labeling of Histone H2B

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To allow site-specific labelling of histone H2B, a cysteine was introduced via site-directed mutagenesis (H2BK120C, as previously described55 (link)) using mutagenesis primers indicated in Table S1. H2BK120C was labelled with Cyanine5-maleimide (Lumiprobe cat #13080) as described previously55 (link). Labelled octamers were refolded as described above. Before chromatin reconstitution, the unlabelled and labelled octamers were combined at a molar ratio of 7:1 (unlabeled:labelled). Chromatin was then reconstituted as described above.

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.
