Cloning and Truncation of ProTα

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PCR was performed using Q5 Hot Start High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase (New England BioLabs). Candidate human protein DNAs were purchased from IDT as gBlock Gene Fragments. Bacterial expression plasmids encoding human protein fused to Cre were made using USER-cloning (New England BioLabs). Truncation of ProTα was done using blunt-end ligation to delete regions of ProTα. Following PCR, KLD enzyme mix (New England BioLabs) was used to phosphorylate and circularize the PCR product before transformation into NEB10beta cells (New England BioLabs).

HEK293 cells were transfected with pCMV-CDK14-myc/DDK (Origene # RC224426) using the Neon electroporation system according to manufacturer’s protocol (Life Technologies). The C218S CDK14 was generated using QuikChange (Agilent) according to manufacturer’s protocol, using the following primers:
fwd: GTGCACACTGATTTATCTCAGTACATGGAC
rev: GTCCATGTACTGAGATAAATCAGTGTGCAC
Sequence verification was performed using the following primer:
GAAGAAGAAGGGACAC
Cloning was performed using NEB 10-beta cells (NEB # C3019I).
HCT116 CDK14 knockout cell lines were generated by cloning CDK14-targeting sgRNAs into the Bbsl site of pX458 (Addgene # 48138). The genomic sequence complementary to the CDK14-directed guide RNA that was cloned into pX458 and used in the genome editing experiments is: TCATGACATCATCCATACCA.
Cloning was performed using NEB Stable cells (NEB #C3040I). Single cells expressing GFP 48 hours after transfection using the Neon electroporation system (Life Technologies) were sorted into 96 well plates using FACS. Clones were verified both by western blotting and genomic DNA PCR of the edited region. CDK14 was cloned into the Xbal/Notl sites of the pCDH-CMV-MCS vector backbone (System Biosciences# CD510B-1). CDK14-flag wild type or C218S was re-introduced to the HCT116 CDK14 knockout cells using lentiviral infection.

Golden Gate Assembly Optimization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the Golden Gate reaction, initially 250 ng of each of the desired modules were mixed with 100 ng of the destination vector, 2 μl T4 DNA ligase buffer (ThermoFisher Scientific), 1.2 μl T4 DNA ligase (ThermoFisher Scientific) and 1 μl BSAI (New England Biolabs) and 0.2 μl BSA (New England Biolabs) in a total volume of 20 μl. In later experiments, the efficiency of the reaction was increased by combining equimolar amounts of modules (0.05 pmol) with 0.025 pmol of destination vector. The following program was then run on a thermocycler T100 or C1000 (BioRad): 50 cycles of 37 °C for 5 min and 16 °C for 5 min, followed by 37 °C for 30 min, 50 °C for 5 min, and 80 °C for 5 min. After the reaction was finished, 1 μl PlasmidSafe nuclease (Epicentre) and 0.85 μl of 25 mM ATP were added to each reaction, and the reactions were incubated at 37 °C for 60 min followed by 70 °C for 30 min, to remove any intermediate, not fully ligated products. 3 μl of each reaction were then transformed into chemically competent NEB10beta cells (New England Biolabs) and correct clones were selected on kanamycin-containing LB agar plates. Clones were analyzed via PmeI digestions and/or Sanger sequencing to confirm the presence of each individual expression cassette.

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.
