Xl10 gold

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The XL10-Gold is a high-efficiency chemically competent bacterial cell line designed for the transformation of plasmid DNA. It is suitable for various molecular biology applications, including cloning, site-directed mutagenesis, and protein expression. The XL10-Gold cells exhibit increased transformation efficiency compared to standard competent cells, enabling researchers to efficiently introduce DNA into the cells.

Cloning and Sequencing of Tomato SuSy Genes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Accessions that were used to extract DNA for sequencing and cloning of specific SuSy genes were: S. lycopersicum cv Moneymaker (accession number LA2706), cv Large Red Cherry (accession number TR00018), S. neorickii G1.1601 (accession number CGN24193) and S. arcanum LA385 obtained from Tomato Genetics Resource Center in Davis, California (TGRC, http://tgrc.ucdavis.edu/). The cv Moneymaker was used in this study as the reference in place of cv Heinz because they both have the same SuSy1/3/4 protein sequences. Plasmid pGEM-T Easy (Promega, USA), PCR II-Blunt-TOPO (ThermoFisher Scientific, USA) were used to construct intermediate clones, while plasmid pDR195 (a gift from Dr. Wolf Frommer—Carnegie Institution for Science, USA) was used to make the expression clones. Competent cells of Escherichia coli strains DH5a and XL10-Gold were purchased from Invitrogen (USA) and Agilent (USA) respectively, whereas yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain 22574d was provided by courtesy of Dr. Bruno André—Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium.

Cloning and Extraction of H. pylori Genome

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
E. Coli strain XL10-gold (Invitrogen) was grown on Luria-Bertani (LB) agar plate or in LB liquid medium supplemented with ampicillin (100 μg/mL) and/or Kanamycin (50 μg/mL). The H. pylori 26695 genome was extracted by following the protocol of Bacteria Genomic DNA Kit (Zoman ZP301). The genome DNA was used as template for cloning CagZ (residues 2–199) and all constructs of Cagβ (Supplementary Table 3).

Bacterial Expression Library Screening

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mutations at specific residues were introduced by overlap-extension PCR. All PCR products were cut and ligated into a constitutive bacterial expression vector pNCS (Allele Biotech) or arabinose-inducible pBAD (Invitrogen). For all library construction methods, chemically competent Escherichia coli strain DH5α (BioExpress) or XL-10 Gold (Invitrogen) were transformed and grown overnight on LB/agar at 37°C and maintained thereafter at room temperature. For each round of mutagenesis, a number of colonies approximately 10-fold higher than the expected library diversity were screened to ensure full coverage. Agar plates were screened for transmitted color by eye and for fluorescence in a light-tight enclosure with a KL2500 fiberoptic light source (Leica) and a ST-8300M cooled CCD camera controlled with CCDOps software (Santa Barbara Instrument Group) on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.8 (Apple). 610/20 nm excitation and 645/30 nm emission filters (Chroma) were placed in the light path before the fiberoptic light guide and before the camera, respectively. Bacterial colonies of interest were patched on LB/agar plates and incubated overnight at 37°C. Lysates were extracted with B-PER II (Pierce), and spectra were obtained on a Safire II plate reader (TECAN). DNA sequences of all constructs are available upon request.

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.
