Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To construct pBAD-rbsR for complementation assays, the rbsR gene was first amplified using oligonucleotide pair, oCML24 and oCML37. Oligonucleotides used for PCR amplification were purchased from Sigma Aldrich and are listed in Table 2. The PCR product and plasmid pBAD30 were digested with KpnI (NEB) and HindIII (NEB) at 37°C for 2 h. The digested PCR product was subsequently ligated into compatibly digested pBAD30 using T4 DNA ligase (NEB) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Plasmid pQE80-rbsR was constructed using Oligonucleotides oCML24 and oCML36 to amplify the rbsR open reading frame (ORF). The amplified fragment was digested with KpnI (NEB) and HindIII (NEB) and ligated with compatibility digested pQE80-oriT. For the construction of pBAD-rbsK, Oligonucleotides oREM726 and oREM727 were used to amplify the rbsK ORF and the subsequent PCR product was digested with KpnI and HindIII. This was ligated with compatibly digested pBAD33 to form pBAD-rbsK. All plasmids were subjected to sequencing (GATC Biotech) to confirm the sequence was correct.

U2OS EJ5 reporter cell lines were seeded in triplicate for each condition and were left untreated, pre-treated media control, or pre-treated with 10μM purified full length 3E10. The next day, the I-SceI expression plasmid (4 μg) was transfected into 1 × 106 cells per replicate using the Amaxa Nucleofector (Lonza) 72 hours before analysis. Cells were analyzed for GFP expression by flow cytometry, and data were analyzed using the FlowJo software (Tree Star Inc.). Luciferase reporter DNA plasmids for NHEJ were digested with HindIII (New England Biolabs, Inc. #R3104) according to HindIII manufacturer instructions. Digestion was confirmed on a 0.7% agarose gel and then purified using the QIAquick PCR Purification Kit (QIAGEN # 28104). Primary human skin fibroblasts were seeded at 1 × 105 cells per well in a 12-well dish the day before transfection. Transfection steps were carried out as above. Cells were collected and lysed in 1× Passive Lysis Buffer (Promega) 24 h after transfection and analysis was continued as above. Each experiment contained technical triplicates per condition. Statistical significance was determined using the unpaired t-test (GraphPad Prism).

For DpnII-seq and assessment of fragmentation level, a final volume of 10 mM of EDTA was added to inactivate the endonuclease, followed immediately by the DpnII-seq protocol (details of protocols below. DpnII-Seq) or DNA purification for fragment analyzer analysis. For Hi-C, we proceeded immediately to the first step of the protocol (crosslinking as described below). For microscopy, nuclei samples were cross-linked with a 4% final concentration of paraformaldehyde.

cDNAs reverse-transcribed from laEBLN-1v1 and laEBLN-1v2 mRNAs were amplified by PCR using Blend taq (TOYOBO) with the primer pairs listed in S5 Table. The PCR product of laEBLN-1v1 was ligated into 3×FLAG-CMV-14 vector (SIGMA) using Ligation high ver.2 (TOYOBO) after digestion with the restriction enzymes HindIII and BamHI (New England Biolabs) at 37°C for 60 min. The PCR product of laEBLN-1v2 was ligated into V5-His-TOPO vector (Life Technologies) according to manufacture’s instructions. The plasmids transformed into TOP10 Competent Cells (Life Technologies) were collected using PureYield Plasmid Midiprep System (Promega) after confirming the insert with nucleotide sequencing. In addition, sub-cloning of ORFs in laEBLN-1v1 and laEBLN-1v2 into pcDNA3.10 vector (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was conducted using the above plasmids as templates for PCR, which were digested with HindIII and BamHI (New England Biolabs).

Targeted Genome Editing Verification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were lysed and following DNA extraction PCR was performed using specific primers for the targeted locus (Table 2) to detect the edited sequence. Since the edited sequence contained a newly acquired HindIII restriction site, PCR products of both amplifications were restricted immediately after with HindIII (NEB, US). To further confirm the presence of the edited sequence, conventional Sanger sequencing was performed. To screen for correct insertion in the targeted locus, specific primers were located outside the homology arms and inside the insert (specific human region) (Table 2). To determine the efficiency of DNA cutting and NHEJ repair after the use of the 2 gRNAs, the presence of indels was determined using T7E1 endonuclease (NEB, US) following the manufacturer's instructions. PCR amplification products were denatured and rehybridized. Restriction using T7E1 endonuclease for 25-45 minutes at 37C indicated the presence of mismatches in the rehybridized products. Also, GeneArt Cleavage Kit (Life Technologies, US) was used with similar results.

λ-DNA was purchased from New England Biolabs (Ipswich, MA, USA). A restriction enzyme, Hind III (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA), was used to digest λ-DNA; 10 activity units of Hind III for 2.5 µg λ-DNA in a 50 µL reaction at 37°C overnight. After the digestion products were characterized by agarose gel electrophoresis (see results in Figure S2), the sizes and quantities of the DNA fragments were measured by BaNC-HDC without any further purification.

Cloning and Expression of Outer Membrane Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The ompA, ompC, ompD, and ompF genes were amplified by colony PCR with their respective cloning primers (Table 2). The amplified PCR products and empty pQE60 vector were subjected to restriction digestion by specific restriction enzymes such as NcoI (NEB) and HindIII (NEB) for ompA, BamHI (NEB), and HindIII (NEB) for ompC, ompD, and ompF in the CutSmart buffer (NEB) at 37°C for 2–3 h. Double digested insert and vector were subjected to ligation by a T4 DNA ligase in 10X ligation buffer (NEB) overnight at 16°C. The ligated products and the empty vector were transformed into the bacteria to generate complemented, over-expression, and empty vector strains. Complementation and over-expression were initially confirmed by restriction digestion of recombinant plasmid. The expression level of ompA in the knockout, complemented, and empty vector strains were further confirmed by RT-qPCR using ompA expression primer (Table 2).

In order to identify the gene copy number of F3′5′H_2 in C. cajan and C. platycarpus, high-quality genomic DNA was isolated from young leaves of plants according to Cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB; Millipore Sigma, Burlington, MA, USA) method [50 (link)]. Approximately 15 μg purified genomic DNA from both the Cajanus spp. was digested overnight separately with BamHI and HindIII (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA). Additionally, about 300 pg of pCambia 2300 vector consisting of CpF3′5′H_2 gene was linearized with HindIII (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA) and used as the positive control. Overnight-restricted DNA samples were electrophoretically separated on a 0.8% agarose gel in Tris-acetate EDTA (TAE; Millipore Sigma) buffer. The separated fragments were further blotted onto a positively charged nylon membrane (Millipore Sigma) and hybridized with a Digoxigenin (DIG)-labelled 543-bp F3′5′H_2 probe. Membrane washing and the development of X-ray film were carried out according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Roche Holding AG, Basel, CH).

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.
