Capturing and Characterizing Phosphoglucomutase in Gracilaria lemaneiformis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The whole genome sequences of G. lemaneiformis were captured from our own laboratory database [38 (link)]. For catching the PGM protein sequence, the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) analysis was used for the search. The HMM profiles of the phosphoglucomutase/phosphomannomutase (PF02878, PF02879, PF02880 and PF00408) from the Pfam protein family database Pfam version 35.0 (http://pfam.xfam.org/, 29 June 2022) were used as the query to search the G. lemaneiformis protein database with an e-value ≤ e−10. Blastp was subsequently used to search for missing possible PGM candidates. Pfam and SMART (http://smart.embl-heidelberg.de/, 29 June 2022) were then used to confirm the conserved domain, and the protein sequences lacking the conserved domains were excluded.
The total RNA from G. lemaneiformis was isolated by a RNeasy Plant mini kit (QIAGEN, Germany), according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The cDNA for the full-length sequence cloning was subsequently synthetized by using HiScript II Reverse Transcriptase Kit (Vazyme, Nanjing, China). The opening reading frames (ORFs) of three possible GlPGM were annotated as GlPGM1, GlPGM2 and GlPGM3, and finally amplified by PCR, using Prime Star Kit (Takara, Dalian, China). The gene-specific primers with different restriction endonuclease site are indicated in the additional file Table S1 (Supplementary Materials).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The sgRNAs targeting the genomic sequence of goat pre-miR-26a and pre-miR-26b were designed using the CHOPCHOP website (http://chopchop.cbu.uib.no/, accessed on 9 November 2020). Three sgRNAs with high prediction scores and targeting both ends of the pre-miR-26a and pre-miR-26b sequences were selected, respectively (Figure 1A,B), and synthesized by Sangon Biotech (Shanghai, China) Co., Ltd. Next, the double-stranded oligonucleotides formed by the annealing of sgRNA were inserted into the Bbs I site of plasmid PX459 to construct a vector co-expressing sgRNA and Cas9, named 26a-sg1-PX459, 26a-sg2-PX459, 26a-sg3-PX459, 26b-sg1-PX459, 26b-sg2-PX459, and 26b-sg3-PX459, respectively. U6-26a-sg2-tracRNA, U6-26a-sg3-tracRNA, U6-26b-sg2-tracRNA, and U6-26b-sg3-tracRNA sequences were cloned from 26a-sg2-PX459, 26a-sg3-PX459, 26b-sg2-PX459, and 26b-sg3-PX459, respectively, using the PrimeSTAR Kit (Takara, Japan). The forward and reverse primers (F: 5′-CACCTCTAGAGAGGGCCTATTTCCCATGATTCCTTCATAT-3′, R: 5′-CACCGGTACCAAAAAAGCACCGACTCGGTGCCACTTTTTC-3′) were synthesized by Sangon Biotech (Shanghai). U6-26a-sg2-tracRNA and U6-26a-sg3-tracRNA sequences were inserted into 26a-sg1-PX459 by double endonucleases (Xba I and Kpn I) to construct a dual−sgRNA vector, named 26a-sg1-sg2-PX459 and 26a-sg1-sg3-PX459 (Figure 1C). 26b-sg1-sg2-PX459 and 26b-sg1-sg3-PX459 were obtained via the same method.

CHIKV E1 Gene Sequencing Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The ReverTra Ace kit (Toyobo, Osaka, Japan) was used for reverse transcription of the RNA samples that tested positive for CHIKV with real-time RT–PCR. Then, the E1 gene segment (294 bp) was amplified using the PrimeSTAR kit (Takara Bio, Shiga, Japan), and the amplicon DNA sequence was acquired by applying the Sanger method. The primers used [41 (link)] are documented in Supplementary Table S2. The nucleotide sequences were analysed using DNADynamo v. 1.63 (Blue Tractor Software). Then, the sequences were aligned with CHIKV global sequences using MAFFT v. 7.520 [44 (link)] and subjected to phylogenetic analysis using the maximum-likelihood method with 1000 bootstrap replicates in MEGA 11 [45 (link),46 (link)]. The Tamura–Nei and invariant site models were employed for this analysis after finding the best-fit model based on the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) using W–IQ–TREE [47 (link),48 (link),49 (link),50 (link)]. The nucleotide sequences obtained from current study were submitted to the GenBank database under accession numbers OR492236, OR492237, OR492238, OR492239, OR492240, OR492241, and OR492242.

CERK1 Mutagenesis and Silencing in Arabidopsis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Tyr-to-Phe site-directed mutagenesis of CERK1 was introduced by the overlap extension PCR with the PrimeSTAR Kit (Takara, Japan). The primers used are listed in Table S1. A 23FLAG coding sequence was inserted in-frame immediately preceding the stop codon of the CERK1 coding sequence. The CERK1 variants carrying individual point mutations were inserted into the pCAMBIA 1301 binary vector behind the CaMV 35S promoter or the native promoter of CERK1 (Kadota et al., 2014) . The CIPP-GFP chimeric gene was also cloned using the pCAMBIA 1301 binary vector containing the 35S promoter. The region of 1-477 bp within the coding sequence of CIPP1 was selected as the RNAi target to generate the CIPP1-RNAi silencing plants. This sequence was inserted into the pCAMBIA 1301 binary vector on both sides of an intron but in an opposite direction and its transcription was driven by the 35S promoter. Sequence-verified pCAMBIA binary plasmids were introduced into cells of Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105 by electroporation. Agrobacteria expressing CERK1 mutants were transformed into the cerk1 mutant plants, while those expressing the CIPP1-GFP or CIPP1-RNAi constructs were transformed into Col-0 by the floral dipping method (Zhang et al., 2006) . Positive transgenic plants were screened on 0.5 3 MS plates with 25 mg/L hygromycin and the T2 transgenic plants were used for further analyses.

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.
