Taq dna ligase

Manufactured by New England Biolabs
Sourced in United States, China

Taq DNA ligase is a thermostable enzyme used for the covalent joining of double-stranded DNA fragments. It catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond between adjacent 3'-hydroxyl and 5'-phosphate termini in duplex DNA or RNA.

Genotyping of WNK1 Variants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peripheral venous blood was drawn from each participant. Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood using the Maxwell 16 DNA Purification Kit (Promega Corporation, Madison, WI). The choice of SNP was informed by the results of a prior analysis of WNK1. All the genotyping experiments were done by the Shanghai Generay Biotech Co., Ltd. (http://www.generay.com.cn/) using ligase detection reactions (LDR). The target DNA sequences were amplified using a multiplex PCR method. After the completion of the amplification, 1 μl of proteinase K (20 mg/ml) was added, then heated at 70°C for 10 min and quenched at 94°C for 15 min. The ligation reaction for each subject was carried out in a final volume of 10 μl containing 2 μl of multi-PCR product, 1 μl of probe, 0.125 μl of 40 U/μl Taq DNA ligase (NEB, USA), 1 μl of 10× Taq DNA ligase buffer, and 6 μl H2O. The LDR was performed using 25 cycles of 94°C for 30 sec and 55°C for 4 min. The fluorescent products of LDR were differentiated by use of an ABI sequencer 377. Additionally, about 5% of the samples were randomly selected and retested by direct DNA sequencing on a 3730xl DNA analyzer (Applied Biosystems) and the results were 100% concordant.

Recombinase-Mediated Variant Generation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Typically donor primer: ssDNA ratios around 1000:1 work well; lower ratios will also work, but as the primer: template ratio decreases there is an increased likelihood of skipping a primer and obtaining the template sequence instead of the desired variants. The amount of ssDNA template used here depends in part on the previous UDG test. Typically, for the recombinase study, we used ssDNA template at a concentration of ∼2.5 ng/µl or ∼10 fmol/µl. In this step, annealing occurs at room temperature, which favors random annealing of the primer mixtures to the template. Typically 10 µl annealing reactions are performed in PCR tubes. Each reaction contains 1 µl 10× Taq ligase buffer, 10 fmol ssDNA, 10 pmol of 5′ PCR forward primer, 10 pmol of donor primer mixture, and water to 10 µl total. Incubate at room temperature for 30′. For the extension and ligation reaction, in a PCR tube, place 1 µl of the annealed sample, 1 µl 10× Taq DNA ligase buffer, dNTP mixture for a final concentration of 100 µM, 2.5 units Taq DNA ligase (New England Biolabs, M0208S), 0.75 units Phusion-U-Hotstart polymerase, water to 10 µl. Incubate at 55°C for 30′.

The ligation was carried out in a 10 μL mixture containing: 1 × Taq DNA ligase buffer (20 mM Tris–HCl, 25 mM KAc, 10 mM Mg(Ac)2, 10 mM DTT, 1 mM NAD, 0.1% Triton X-100), 10 pM linear padlock probe, 12 U of Taq DNA ligase (NEB, United States) and 1 μL of DNA template (10 ng). The ligation mixture was incubated at 65°C for 1 h.
After ligation, 1 μL of ligation product was added into an HRCA reaction mixture containing 1 × ThermoPol buffer (20 mM Tris–HCl, 10 mM (NH4)2SO4, 10 mM KCl, 2 mM MgSO4, 0.1% Triton X-100), 0.4 mM dNTP mix, 0.5 μM of each HRCA primers and 1.6 U Bst DNA polymerase (NEB, United States) with a total 10 μL volume. The reaction was performed in a 0.2 mL tube in a water bath incubated at 62°C for 60 min.
The results were judged by the appearance of color after adding 1 μl of 1000 × SYBR Green I dye to the system after the reaction or 2% agarose gel electrophoresis of the HRCA product.

After hybridization, magnetic beads were washed twice using washing buffer 1 (2× SSC, 0.5% SDS) and washing buffer 2 (2× SSC), respectively, to remove excess and mishybridized LSPs. Then, 25 µL master mix containing 0.4 units Phusion high-fidelity DNA polymerase (NEB), 40 units Taq DNA ligase (NEB), 1 mM NAD (NEB), 0.1 mM dNTPs, 1× Phusion HF Buffer was added to the beads. The reaction was incubated for 20 min at 45°C to allow upstream LSP1s to extend and ligate to downstream LSP2s. After extension and ligation, the beads were washed once with elution buffer (10 mM Tris-Cl, pH 8.5), then resuspended in 35 µL elution buffer and heated for 1 min at 95°C to release the ligated products.

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.
