Transformation and Mutagenesis of P. sojae

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The transformation of P. sojae was accomplished by following protocols described in Fang and Tyler (47) . To acquire the overexpression mutants, the pTOR::FLAG plasmids carrying each glycoprotein were respectively transformed into P. sojae. PYF515-sgRNA was co-transformed into P. sojae PS6 together with its donor plasmid for the site-directed mutagenesis of the two target glycoproteins. The mutants were initially screened in pea broth medium amended with 30 μg/ml geneticin (Amresco, Solon, United States) and then on V8 agar plates containing 50 μg/ml geneticin. The hyphae of the mutants were then collected for genomic DNA (gDNA) extraction.
For verification of the mutants, the amplification products of the full-length target candidate genes were confirmed by sequencing in all mutants.

HEK293-T cells were seeded, in triplicate, on 24 well plates at a density of 50 000 cells per well using D-MEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Gemini), 100 U mL−1 penicillin, 0.1 mg mL−1 streptomycin and 500 μg mL−1 geneticin (VWR) and incubated until they reached 70–90% confluency. Lipoplexes were formed by combining TZ lipid liposomes made with a 1 : 1 ratio of DOPE and TZ lipid in Opti-MEM (Thermo) with 400 ng of human alpha-1 antitrypsin (hAAT) plasmid DNA (Addgene no. 126704) and incubating for 12 minutes in Opti-MEM, before being added to cells. After 24 hours the media was removed for evaluation of viability and replaced with fresh media. The cells were then incubated for another 72 hours and then transferred to 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes and centrifuged at 400 rpm for 5 minutes. The media was removed and assessed for hAAT via ELISA and the cells were lysed using RIPA buffer (Thermo) for determination of total protein concentration (Thermo). In each of the three independent experiments performed, transfection was compared with cells treated with Lipofectamine 3000 (Thermo), following the manufacturer's instructions, and with DNA treated cells.

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.
