Ta vector

Manufactured by Enzynomics
Sourced in Cameroon

The TA vector is a DNA cloning vector that is commonly used for the insertion and expression of genes in bacterial and eukaryotic systems. It has a single 3' terminal thymidine (T) overhang that facilitates the direct ligation of PCR products, which typically have 3' adenine (A) overhangs. The TA vector is a useful tool for molecular biology research and applications that require the efficient cloning of PCR amplified DNA fragments.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human A1AT cDNA (GenBank accession number: NM_000295) was purchased from the Korea Human Gene Bank (Daejeon, South Korea). The hA1AT gene was subcloned into a TA vector (Enzynomics, South Korea) using two restriction sites of Hind III and Xho I. Site‐directed mutagenesis was conducted for the F51S mutation using an EzChange site‐directed mutagenesis kit according to the manufacturer's instructions (Enzynomics). The primers used for polymerase chain reaction were: forward primer, 5′‐caccaatatctCcttctccccagtg‐3′ and reverse primer, 5′‐gagaagGagatattggtgctgttggac‐3′. The mutated nucleotides are shown in capital letters. The sequences of constructs were confirmed by DNA sequencing.

Cloning and mutagenesis of Sphingomonas grxC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The strain Sphingomonas sp. PAMC 26621, isolated from the Svalbard Island in the Arctic Ocean, was kindly provided by the Polar and Alpine Microbial Collection at the Korea Polar Research Institute (Incheon, South Korea) [18 (link)]. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was employed to amplify the 258-bp grxC (spgrx3) gene (NCBI ID: NZ_AIDW01000021.1:c56439-56182) from the genome of Sphingomonas sp. PAMC 26621, which was subsequently subcloned into a TA vector (Enzynomics, Daejeon Korea). After digestion with Nde I and EcoR I enzymes TA–spgrx3 construct, the pET28–spgrx3 construct was inserted into a pET28 vector (Novagen, Madison, WI, USA) and then introduced into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) through transformation. Site-directed mutagenesis of the pET28–spgrx3 construct was performed using pfu polymerase and PCR primers listed in S1 Table. After PCR amplification, the products were subjected to Dpn I digestion at 37°C for 1 h to remove the template plasmids. The resulting PCR products were then transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3). The DNA sequences of both wild-type (WT) and mutant plasmids were validated through DNA sequencing analysis.

Sphingomonas sp. PAMC 26621 was kindly provided by the Polar and Alpine Microbial Collection of the Kore Polar Research Institute (Incheon, South Korea) [22 ]. The 333‐bp grxD (spgrx4) gene (NCBI ID: WP_010164075.1) was amplified from the genome of Sphingomonas sp. PAMC 26621 by PCR and subcloned into a TA vector (Enzynomics, Daejeon, South Korea). The TA–spgrx4 construct, digested by Nde I and BamH I, was subcloned into a pET28 vector (Novagen, Madison, WI, USA) and transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The pET28–spgrx4 construct was used as a template for site‐directed mutagenesis by PCR using pfu polymerase (PCR primers listed in Table S1). The PCR products were incubated with Dpn I at 37 °C for 1 h to remove the template plasmids before transformation into Ecoli BL21 (DE3). The DNA sequence of the WT and mutant plasmids was confirmed by DNA sequencing.

Characterization of the GAZ Gene

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Approximately 0.5 mg of total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis using the iScript cDNA Synthesis Kit according to the manufacturer's instructions (Bio-Rad, USA). The cDNA samples were then subjected to the qRT-PCR assays using SYBR Premix ExTaq reagent (Takara, Japan) and the Mx3000P QPCR system (Agilent Technologies, USA). The UBQ10 gene was used as the internal reference. RT-PCR was conducted using ExTaq polymerase (Takara, Japan), and the PCR amplification was carried out with 35 cycles for GAZ and 30 cycles for UBQ10 and ACT2. The amplified PCR products were loaded on 1% agarose gel (Intron Biotechnologies, South Korea). Each experiment was independently conducted with at least three biological replicates. The PCR primer sequence information is listed in Supplemental Table 2.
To identify the 5 0 region of the GAZ gene, 5 0 RACE was carried out using a 5 0 /3 0 RACE Kit (Roche, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. RNA samples extracted from 7-day-old WT roots were used with a series of nested GAZ-specific primers. The primer sequences are listed in Supplemental Table 3. The final PCR products were cloned into the TA vector (Enzynomics, South Korea) and sequenced with M13 forward and reverse primers.

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.
