Chroma spin depc h2o columns

Manufactured by Takara Bio
Sourced in United States

The Chroma Spin DEPC-H2O columns are a laboratory product designed for the removal of RNase contamination from water samples. These columns utilize a proprietary resin to effectively eliminate DEPC (diethyl pyrocarbonate), a common RNase inhibitor, from the water, ensuring a high-quality, RNase-free water supply for various molecular biology applications.

Site-Directed Mutagenesis of rat nAChR α7

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The QuikChange protocol (Stratagene) was used for site-directed mutagenesis of the rat nAChR α7 subunit (pAMV vector). NotI was used to linearize the circular plasmid. The DNA was purified (Qiagen) and in vitro transcription of mRNA from the linearized DNA templates was performed using the T7 mMessage Machine kit (Ambion). The resulting mRNA was purified and isolated using Qiagen’s RNeasy RNA purification kit. The same linearization and mRNA synthesis protocols were used for the human Ric3 (pAMV) accessory protein.
For non-canonical amino acid incorporation, the amber (UAG) stop codon was used for all α7 subunit incorporation. The 74-nucleotide THG73 tRNA and 76-nucleotide THG73 tRNA were in vitro transcribed using the MEGAshortscript T7 (Ambion) kit and isolated using Chroma Spin DEPC-H2O columns (Clontech). Synthesized non-canonical amino acids coupled to the dinucleotide dCA were enzymatically ligated to the 74-nucleotide tRNA as previously described (Nowak, et al., 1998 (link); Xiu, et al., 2009 (link)).
ND96 media was used for all experimental running/wash buffers (96 mM NaCl, 1.8mM CaCl2, 2 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 5 mM HEPES at pH 7.5). ND96+ media was used for oocyte storage media (2.5mM sodium pyruvate and 6.7mM theophylline added). No gentamicin was added to the ND96+ storage media in order to avoid distorting ACh-induced responses (Amici, et al., 2005 (link)).

Unnatural Amino Acid Incorporation in Rat nAChR Subunits

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rat nAChR α4 and β2 subunits
were in pAMV (unnatural mutagenesis) and pGEMhe (natural mutagenesis)
vectors. Site-directed mutagenesis was performed using the QuikChange
protocol (Stratagene). Circular DNA of α4 and β2 in pAMV
was linearized with the NotI restriction enzyme and the plasmids in
pGEMhe were linearized with the SbfI restriction enzyme. After purification
(Qiagen), the T7 mMessage Machine kit (Ambion) was used to in vitro transcribe mRNA from linearized DNA templates.
QIAGEN’s RNeasy RNA purification kit was used to isolate the
transcribed mRNA product.
For unnatural amino acid incorporation,
the amber (UAG) stop codon was used for all α4 subunit incorporation
and the opal (UGA) stop codon was used for the β2 subunit incorporation.
74-nucleotide THG73 tRNA (for UAG) and 74-nucleotide TQOpS’
tRNA (for UGA) were in vitro transcribed using the
MEGAshortscript T7 (Ambion) kit and isolated using Chroma Spin DEPC-H2O columns (Clontech). Synthesized unnatural amino acids coupled
to the dinucleotide dCA were enzymatically ligated to the appropriate
74-nucleotide tRNA as previously described.13 (link),28

Nonsense Suppression Method for ncAA Incorporation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The nitroveratryloxycarbonyl-protected ncAA naphthalene esterified with 5′-O-phosphoryl-2′-deoxycytidylyl-(3′→5′)adenosine was incorporated via the nonsense suppression method (Dougherty and Van Arnam, 2014 (link)). Modified Tetrahymena thermophila tRNA was prepared by annealing full-length 5′ and 3′ DNA strands (Integrated DNA Technologies); RNA was synthetized using the T7-Scribe transcription kit (CELLSCRIPT) and purified with Chroma Spin DEPC-H2O columns (Clontech). The ncAA naphthalene was ligated to the tRNA with T4 DNA ligase (New England Biolabs). The aminoacylated tRNA was purified with phenol-chloroform extraction and ethanol purification, air dried, and stored at −80°C until use. The pellet was resuspended in 1 μl water and deprotected with 400-W UV light (Newport UV lamp [66921], including Newport power supply [69920]) immediately before injection into oocytes. The deprotected aminoacylated tRNA was mixed 1:1 with mASIC1a mRNA containing a TAG codon at position 50 and injected into oocytes.

The nitroveratryloxycarbonyl (NVOC) -protected non-canonical amino acid (ncAA) naphthalene esterified with 5'-O-phosphoryl-2'-deoxycytidylyl-(3'-->5')adenosine (pdCpA) was incorporated via the nonsense suppression method [30] . Modified Tetrahymena thermophila tRNA was prepared by annealing full-length 5' and 3' DNA strands (Integrated DNA Technologies, Belgium); RNA was synthetized using the T7-Scribe transcription kit (Cellscript) and purified with Chroma Spin DEPC-H2O columns (Clontech, CA, USA). The ncAA naphthalene was ligated to the tRNA with T4 DNA ligase (New England Biolabs, MA, USA). The aminoacylated tRNA was purified with phenol-chloroform extraction and ethanol purification, air dried and store at -80 % until use.

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.
