T. brucei brucei Lister 427 PCF collected by centrifugation were washed twice with PBS (0.1 M sodium phosphate, 0.15 M NaCl, pH 7.4) and genomic DNA was isolated using DNAzol Reagent as described by the manufacturer (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA).
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed at a final volume of 50 μl containing genomic (~300 ng) or plasmid DNA (~50 ng), 30 pmoles of the specific primers (Macrogen, Seoul, Korea), 2.5 mM of each deoxynucleotide triphosphate (dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP) (New England Biolabs), 1.5 mM MgCl2 (Life Technologies), 0.2 UI Taq DNA polymerase (Life Technologies) and reaction buffer as indicated by the manufacturer (Life Technologies).
For the amplification reaction a thermocycler (Mycycler, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) was employed: an initial denaturation step at 94°C for 10 min was followed by 35 cycles of a) denaturation at 94°C 1 min, b) hybridization at 55°C 1 min, c) elongation at 72°C -1 min per kb of DNA amplified; the final elongation step was performed at 72°C for 10 min.

Amplification of nifH Genes Using Modified Primers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PCR amplification was carried out using 4 U Taq DNA polymerase in 1× Taq buffer (containing 1.5 mM MgCl2) (Qaigen, Valencia, CA, USA) in a 100 µL reaction mixture containing 25 ng of DNA template, 800 µM of each deoxynucleotide triphosphate (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA), 0.5 pmol µL−1 of each primer (MWG Biolabs, Huntsville, AL, USA) and 40 mg bovine serum albumin (NEB). The nifH primers used (Forward primer, nifH F; Reverse primer, nifH R) [24 (link),54 (link)] contain the artificial nucleotides P [55 (link)] and K [56 (link)]. The use of these artificial nucleotides reduces degeneracy and occurrence of spurious products. PCR amplification was performed using the program described by Davis et al. [27 (link)]. Ninety microliters of the reaction mixture were concentrated by isopropanol precipitation. Amplicons were recovered by centrifugation for 30 min at 10,000× g, washing in 70% ethanol and recovery in 10 μL of TE (pH 8.0; 10 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA).

RT-LAMP was performed as described in the previous studies with some modifications [12 (link),13 (link),15 (link),16 (link)]. In brief, 20 μL of LAMP reaction mixture containing 2 μL of 10× isothermal amplification buffer (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA), 1.5 mM concentrations of each deoxynucleotide triphosphate (New England Biolabs), 6 mM MgSO4 (New England Biolabs), 8 U of Bst 2.0 DNA polymerase (New England Biolabs), 7.5 U of WarmStart RTx Reverse Transcriptase (New England Biolabs), 1.25 μM SYTO9 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), and 2 μL of template plasmid DNA of H1-HA or H3-HA was used. The composition of the RT-LAMP primer mix was 0.2 μM of the outer primers (F3 and B3), 1.6 μM of the inner primers (FIP and BIP), and 0.4 μM of the loop primers (LF and LB). The amplification reaction was performed at 60℃ for 45 min and terminated by heating at 80℃ for 3 min in a CFX96 Touch Real-Time PCR Detection System (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA). The fluorescence curve was captured from the Bio-Rad CFX Manager graph.

Construction of 8BrG-Containing pMY189 Shuttle Vector

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A shuttle vector pMY189, which contains the bacterial suppressor tRNA (supF) gene [23 (link)], was used for the construction of pMY189 containing a single 8BrG:cytosine pair. First, E. coli XL1-Blue MRF' (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA, USA) and R408 Helper Phage (Stratagene) were used to prepare single-stranded pMY189 DNA, and 30 μg of the single-stranded plasmid pMY189 and a 5-fold molar excess of 5′-phosphorylated 24-mer oligonucleotide with a single 8BrG at nucleotide position 159 of the supF gene [5′-CGA CTT CGA A(8BrG)G TTC GAA TCC TTC-3′] (Japan Bio Services, Saitama, Japan) were annealed in a reaction mixture. Forty units of T4 DNA polymerase (Takara, Kyoto, Japan), 600 μM of deoxynucleotide triphosphate, 2400 units of T4 DNA ligase (New England Biolabs, Beverly, MA, USA), and 1 mM of ATP were added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was incubated at 37°C for 4 h. Then, closed circular pMY189 containing an 8BrG was isolated using cesium chloride-ethidium bromide density gradient centrifugation. To prepare wild-type pMY189, an oligonucleotide without modified bases [5′-CGA CTT CGA AGG TTC GAA TCC TTC-3′] was used, and a closed circular wild-type pMY189 was obtained in the same manner.

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.
