CRISPR gRNA Plasmid Construction

gRNAs were designed using the online tool CCTop-CRISPR/Cas9 as a target online predictor (Supplementary Table S3). We designed oligos for cloning gRNA targeting this site into a PEP-KO vector (Oligo1: 5′- ACCGNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN-3′, Oligo2: 3′-CNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNCAA-5′, N for gRNA sequence). Briefly, the two oligos were phosphorylated and annealed with T4 Ligation Buffer (Takara, Kyoto, Japan) and T4 PNK (Takara, Kyoto, Japan) according to the standard parameters. Annealed oligos were diluted 1:200 in nuclease-free water and ligated into the PEP-KO vector using T4 Ligation Buffer (Takara, Kyoto, Japan). After transfection of the vector into competent cells, 3–4 single colonies were picked into to 5 mL of Luria-Bertani (LB) broth containing carbenicillin. Plasmid DNA was isolated from amplified competent cells using a standard method and analyzed the plasmid DNA by Sanger sequencing. The plasmid was transfected into ATDC5 cells (500 ng PEP-KO, based on 6-well plate) following the standard infection protocol. After transfection for 48 h, select with puromycin (puro) and re-plated cells at a low density in a 10-cm dish (100 cells). Single colonies were expanded, and a portion of the cells was harvested, RT-qPCR, and western blotting analysis.

CRISPR-Cas9 Editing of TGFBI R124H Mutation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Single gRNA targeting the R124H mutation site of the human TGFBI gene was designed using the CRIPSR design tool (publically available at http://crispr.mit.edu/, http://www.e-crisp.org/E-CRISP/). To construct the CRISPR-Cas9 plasmid targeting the human TGFBI gene, the complementary oligonucleotides hTGFBI gRNA-F and hTGFBI gRNA-R were phosphorylated using T4PNK (TAKARA, Kusatsu, Japan), annealed, and cloned into pSpCas9 BB-2A-GFP (PX458, plasmid #48138; Addgene, Cambridge, MA, USA) via the BbsI restriction sites. To utilize HDR to edit the human TGFBI R124H mutation, a 100-nt ssODN (hTGFBI R124H HDR ssODN) was designed to target the R124H mutation site.
The oligonucleotide sequences were as follows:
hTGFBI gRNA-F: 5′-CACCACTCAGCTGTACACGGACCACA-3′,
hTGFBI gRNA-R: 5′-AAACTGTGGTCCGTGTACAGCTGAGT-3′,
and hTGFBI R124H HDR ssDNA: 5′-GAGACCCTGGGAGTCGTTGGATCCACCACCACTCAGCTGTACACGGACCGTACGGAGAAGCTGAGGCCTGAGATGGAGGGGCCCGGCAGCTTCACCATCT-3′.

Generating Zebrafish lbx1b and lbx2 Mutants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA was extracted from the caudal fins of lbx1b TALENs mRNA-injected zebrafish. For sequencing, PCR products were amplified from the genomic DNA and phosphorylated by T4PNK (TAKARA BIO INC.), and then subcloned into EcoRV site of pBluescript II SK(+) vector. We identified F0 fishes carrying multiple mutations in the target site, and then generated and screened a F1 fish with a nonsense mutation by crossing the F0 and wild type fishes. lbx1b+/- and lbx2+/- mutant were generated by crossing F1 and wild type fishes. lbx1b-/- and lbx2-/- were further generated by intercrossing lbx1b+/- and lbx2+/-, respectively.

RNA was transferred to a Hybond-N+ membrane (GE Healthcare) at 4mA/cm 2 for 45 min and fixed by UV-crosslinking. The membrane was dried and pre-hybridized at 37 °C for 30 min in ExpressHyb (Clontech). Hybridization was performed in ExpressHyb containing RI-labeled probe at 37 °C overnight with rotation. Subsequently, the membrane was washed twice in low stringency buffer (2X SSC, 0.05% SDS) at room temperature for 30 min and twice in high stringency buffer (0.5X SSC, 0.1% SDS) at room temperature for 40 min. Membranes were exposed to an autoradiography film.

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.
