Total RNA Extraction and cDNA Synthesis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was extracted from cells using the TRIzol reagent and treated with RQ1 RNase-free DNase (Promega) to remove potential genomic DNA contamination. cDNA synthesis was carried out using the Maxima H Minus Reverse Transcriptase (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and random primers. For PCRs, either the Phire Hot Start II or Phusion High-Fidelity DNA polymerase (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used. Primers used in RT-PCR are listed in Supplemental Table 2.

Staphylococcus aureus Genetic Manipulation

Bacterial strains/plasmids and primers (IDT) used are described in Supplementary Table 2 and Supplementary Table 3, respectively. S. aureus were routinely grown on BHI agar (Difco), TSB (Oxiod) or Luria Broth (LB) at 37 °C with shaking at 200 rpm. For the selection of pIMAY-Z or pIMC8-YFP containing strains, BHI agar was supplemented with 10 μg ml−1 chloramphenicol and 100 μg ml−1 X-gal (BHIA-CX). For the protein expression, Terrific Broth (TB) was used (10 g l−1 tryptone, 24 g l−1 yeast extract, 10 g l−1 glucose, 0.17 M KH2PO4 and 0.72 M K2HPO4). Restriction enzymes, Phusion DNA polymerase and T4 DNA ligase were purchased from New England Biolabs. Phire Hotstart II (for colony PCR) was purchased from Thermo Fisher. Genomic DNA from S. aureus was isolated from 1 ml of an overnight culture (DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit—Qiagen) pretreated with 100 μg of lysostaphin (Sigma cat. no. L7386). lysostaphin sensitivity assays were performed as described32 .

Recombinant Expression of Isopentenyl Monophosphate Kinase

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Isopentenyl monophosphate kinase (IPK) from Thermoplasma acidophilum DSM 1728[6 (link), 9 (link)] was codon-optimized and synthesized by Genewiz, Inc (see Supplemental Table S1). The ipk gene was PCR amplified from the synthesized template and sub-cloned into pET28a using NdeI and XhoI restriction sites to generate an N-terminally hexa-histidine tagged fusion. Briefly, PCR was performed using Phire Hot Start II polymerase (ThermoFisher) according to the supplier’s protocol, purified by agarose gel electrophoresis, digested with NdeI and XhoI, and purified again. The digested PCR product and similarly treated pET28a were ligated at room temperature with T4 ligase (New England BioLabs) according to the supplier’s protocol. The ligation mixture was then transformed into E. coli DH5α and plated onto LB agar plates containing 50 μg/mL kanamycin. Individual colonies were picked, grown in the presence of kanamycin, plasmids purified and the ipk gene sequence verified by DNA sequencing (Genewiz).

In Vitro Transcription of RNAs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All RNAs used in this study were prepared by in vitro transcription (IVT) using standard protocol. As an IVT template PCR products were used obtained in the reaction with Phire Hotstart II polymerase (Thermo Fisher) according to manufacturer’s instructions (RyhB), or hybridized DNA oligonucleotides (CyaR, 3ʹETSleuZ; Sigma). The sequences of used primers and DNA oligonucleotides are summarized in Table S1. RNA was separated on 6% polyacrylamide denaturing gel (National Diagnostics), electroeluted in TBE (Whatman Elutrap) and cleaned up using PureLinkTM RNA Microscale Kit (Invitrogen).

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.
