Constructing Melanopsin Truncation Mutants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Truncation mutants of the carboxy
tail were constructed using PCR
to insert a stop codon (TAG) at various locations within the mouse
gene. The forward primer contained the restriction site EcoRI, whereas reverse primers contained a stop codon and a NotI restriction site. The truncated melanopsin PCR products
were then digested with NotI and EcoRI FastDigest enzymes (Fermentas) and recloned into a similarly digested
pMT3 expression vector. Sequences were verified by sequencing (GENEWIZ,
Inc.) using plasmid-specific primers. Primer sequences are listed
in Supporting Information Table 1.

One μg of the vector pSF-CMV-EMCV-NEO was digested in a 20 μl reaction with 1 μl each of XbaI and NcoI (FastDigest enzymes, Fermentas) in 1X FastDigest Green Buffer (Fermentas). The reactions were electrophoresed on a 0.8% agarose gel using TAE buffer. The bands that corresponded to the double digested vector were gel purified using the SV gel and PCR Cleanup Kit (Promega).

All constructs were created for this study (Table S1) either using the primers outlined (Table S2) or by Eurogentec. Unless otherwise stated, PCR products were subcloned into purified empty vectors digested with FastDigest enzymes (Fermentas) using the In‐Fusion PCR cloning system (Clontech). The Quikchange XL site‐directed mutagenesis kit (Stratagene) was used to create all subsequent point mutations, deletions and insertions. All constructs were verified by DNA sequencing.

Targeted sequencing of genomic and cell-free DNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA (5–40 ng) or cfDNA (from ∼1 ml of whole blood) was digested using multiple restriction enzymes [Set1: AlwNI and Alw26I; Set2: EarI and NcoI; SetKC: EarI and NmuCI (FastDigest enzymes, Thermo Scientific, MA, USA); Supplementary Table S1]. The ligation of adaptors with N12 barcode sequence tags was performed using Escherichia coli DNA ligase (Takara Bio, Shiga, Japan). The ligation products were purified twice with a 1.2× volume of AMPureXP beads (Beckman Coulter, CA, USA). Linear amplification of the purified products was performed with a region-specific primer mixture (Supplementary Tables S2 and S3) and Q5 Hot Start High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase (NEB) by 10 thermal cycles. The purified linear amplification products were amplified with the PGM/Proton primers (Supplementary Table S2) and Platinum Taq High Fidelity (Life Technologies). The amplification products were purified with AMPureXP beads or agarose gel electrophoresis with a MinElute Gel Extraction Kit (Qiagen). Further details and library construction for experiments with double strand labeling are provided in Supplementary Methods.

Cloning and Expression of Bacterial Signaling Proteins

The open reading frames (ORFs) of cdaA, pde1 and pde2 as well as the fragments encoding amino acids 94–285 and 103–285 of CdaA and amino acids 53–657 of Pde1 were amplified from genomic DNA of S. mitis CCUG 31611 using primers listed in Table S1. Amplicons were cloned into the pET28a(+)KpnI-mut protein expression vector between the KpnI and HindIII sites, using FastDigest enzymes (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and the Rapid DNA Ligation kit (ThermoFisher Scientific). The pET28(+)KpnI-mut vector was constructed to simplify sub-cloning of the relevant genes between vectors. Constructs were verified by Sanger sequencing at Eurofins Genomics (Ebersberg, Germany). E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells harbouring constructs were grown in LB with 50 mg/L kanamycin at 37 °C and 190 RPM until an OD600 of 0.4–0.5. Protein expression was induced by addition of isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG; MilliporeSigma) at a final concentration of 50 µM. Protein expression was maintained for 3 h at 37 °C, 190 RPM.

Optimized Yeast Genetic Assembly

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The sequences of the watermarked genes,
promoters (800 bp) and terminators (300 bp) were ordered from GeneArt
(Thermo Fisher, Regensburg, Germany). For compatibility with Golden
Gate Cloning, the sequences were ordered flanked with BsaI and BsmBI
restriction sites. The promoters and terminators were delivered by
GeneArt subcloned in the entry vector pUD565 and for the watermarked
genes the subcloning into pUD565 was done in house using BsmBI Golden
Gate cloning. An exception was made for pTDH3, pPGK1, tPGK1, tENO2, and tADH1 which were amplified from genomic DNA of CEN.PK113–7D
using primers with flanks containing BsaI restriction sites listed
in Table S7.
Subsequently, the assembly
of the promoter, gene and terminator was done in the preassembled
vector pGGKd012 using Golden Gate cloning as described in the previous
section. pGGKd012 was assembled from the Yeast toolkit51 (link) plasmids pYTK-002, 047, 072, 078, 081, and 083
(Table S4).
Correct plasmid assembly
was verified by enzyme digestion with
either BsaI, BsmBI (New England Biolabs) or FastDigest enzymes (Thermo
Fisher Scientific) following the manufacturer’s instructions.

RNA Isolation and Gene-Specific PCR Analysis for Pmca1 and Pmca4

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The total RNA from mouse cells was isolated using the NucleoSpin RNA Kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Macherey Nagel). The total RNA from mouse tissues was isolated using peqGold TriFastTM (peqlab, Erlangen, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The analysis was performed according to a method published originally by Okunade et al. [35 (link)] and recently adapted by our group [46 (link)]. This strategy is based on first simultaneously amplifying Pmca1 and Pmca4 cDNA fragments, followed by a gene-specific restriction digest of the PCR products. The first strand cDNA was prepared using the RevertAid H Minus First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Baltics UAB, Vilnius, Lithuania). Briefly, 375 ng of total RNA were reverse transcribed using random primers, followed by a PCR using the primers published by Okunade et al. [35 (link)]. These primers allow for the efficient amplification of a 1 kb region of Pmca1 and 4, but not Pmca2 and 3. Restriction digests of the PCR products were performed with either ClaI (C) or BglI (B) or both (CB) (FastDigest enzymes, Thermo Fisher Scientific) or neither (uncut, U), yielding fragments of 400 bp and 600 bp characteristic for Pmca1 (ClaI cut) or two ~500 bp fragments for Pmca4 (BglI cut) as shown in the scheme in Figure 1E.

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.
