Gibson assembly system

Manufactured by New England Biolabs
Sourced in United States, Japan

The Gibson Assembly system is a molecular cloning technique used to assemble multiple DNA fragments into a single construct. It enables the seamless joining of DNA sequences without the need for restriction enzymes or ligase. The system relies on the exonuclease, polymerase, and ligase activities of the T5 exonuclease, Phusion DNA polymerase, and Taq DNA ligase to create overlapping regions between the DNA fragments, allowing them to be assembled in a single, isothermal reaction.

To construct pMcp-1.BDNF and pMcp-1.NRF2 vectors, a fragment of the murine Mcp-1 promoter (560 bp immediately upstream of the initiation codon ATG; accession number U12470) and BDNF cDNA (KIBB9810; Promega) or NRF2 cDNA (KIBB7828; Promega) were inserted into a pAAV-MCS Promoterless Expression Vector (Cell Biolabs). To construct pMcp-1.NRF2-2A-EGFP, the same fragment of the Mcp-1 promoter, NRF2 cDNA, linker peptide 2A cDNA, and EGFP cDNA (Clontech) were inserted into the pAAV-MCS Promoterless Expression Vector using the Gibson assembly system (New England Biolabs). To construct pCMVNRF2-2A-EGFP, Nrf2 cDNA, 2A peptide, and egfp cDNA (Clontech) were inserted into a pAAV-CMVp-MCS Expression Vector (Cell Biolabs) using the Gibson assembly system (New England Biolabs). For pAAV.CMV.EGFP using pAAV-GFP vector (Cell Biolabs), viral vectors AAV2/2 were generated and purified following a method described previously.48 (link) Each vector (1.0 × 1012 genome copy [gc]/mL) was injected at 2.0 μL per injection into the vitreous of an anaesthetized mouse. The dose was the same in all experiments involving intravitreal injection of AAV in this study.

The ORF of the OsRZF1 gene without the stop codon was amplified (Supplemental Table S1) and cloned to the entry vector with a pENTR™/D-TOPO® Cloning Kit (Invitrogen, USA). Then the 2 × 35 s promoter (Marquès-Bueno et al., 2016 (link)) and amplified OsRZF1 ORF fused with EGFP marker were inserted into the pUC19 plasmid (Takara Bio Inc. Japan) using a Gibson assembly system (New England BioLabs, USA). Rice protoplasts were isolated and transformed according to the method previously reported (Saito et al. 2013 (link)). After 18 h, the EGFP fluorescence was detected using Zeiss LSM880 AxioObserver, equipped with an Argon laser as the excitation source, through a 20x/0.8 plan-Apochromat objective lens. EGFP was excited with an Argon laser at 561 nm and an intensity of 0.5% and detected between 597–624 nm with a detector gain value of 900. Images were analyzed and merged by ImageJ (NIH).

We cloned cDNA encoding the carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) of mouse dectin-1 from BMDCs from C57BL/6J mice using primers pDectin1-CRD-Fw1 (5′-TTGCACTAAGTCTTGCACTTGTCACatgccttcctaattggatcatgcatg-3′) and pDectin1-CRD-Rv1 (5′-GCTTACAACCACAATCCCTGGGCACcagttccttctcacagatactgtat-3′). The pCAG-Neo mIgG1-Fc plasmid (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corp.) was digested with XhoI–SpeI, and the cDNA fragment was inserted using the Gibson Assembly System (New England Biolabs Inc.) to construct the expression vector pmDectin-1_mIgG1-Fc. Our dectin-1 CRD cDNA sequence was identical to that of Clec7a-202, as recorded in the Ensembl database (http://www.ensembl.org/index.html, transcript ID: ENSMUST00000184581.2).
The expression vector pmDectin-1_mIgG1-Fc was transfected into HEK293T cells using PEI-MAX (Polysciences Inc.) or GenePORTER2 (Gelantis Inc.), and cells were cultivated in RPMI 1640 medium with 10% (w/v) FBS for 2 days at 37°C, 5% CO2 to generate Fc dectin-1 in the culture supernatant. Culture supernatant was stored at −80°C prior to use in the Fc dectin-1 deposition assay.
Fc dectin-2 was purchased from Enzo Life Science, Inc., was reconstituted with sterile water, and was stored at −80°C.

The sequences of the hsp90 (AFUB_052690),
mpkA (AFUB_070630) and rlmA (AFUB_040580)
transcripts were obtained from FungiDB (https://fungidb.org/fungidb/) and used to design primers for
reverse transcription reactions (Table S6) using the enzyme
SuperScript III Reverse Transcriptase (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to
the manufacture’s recommendation. Full-length cDNA of
hsp90 and mpkA were obtained from a
HS-induced culture of CEA17 wild-type strain. A C-terminal truncated version of
the pkcA (AFUB_059540) gene spanning the nucleotides 1224 to
3321 of the transcript, which comprised the residues 409–1106, was
synthesized and cloned in pUC19 (Epoch Life Sciences, USA) due to the failure of
cDNA amplification. All the PCR products were cloned in the pET15b (Millipore
Sigma) expression vector using the Gibson Assembly system (New England Biolabs),
according to the manufacture’s protocol. To generate the clone
pkcA(409–1106) carrying the G579R mutation, the abovementioned
pET15b-pkcA(409–1106) was subjected to site-directed mutagenesis using
the QuikChange II XL Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit (Agilent Technologies). All
the individual clones were validated by full sequencing.

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.
