Gene inactivation was achieved by feeding C. elegans with RNAi bacterial clones expressing double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) targeting the gene of interest. Clones were obtained from the Ahringer RNAi library63 (link) (atg-7, atg-13/epg-1, hlh-30, hsf-1, lgg-1/ATG8 and wdr-23) or the Vidal RNAi library64 (link) (unc-51/ATG1, atg-18, bec-1/ATG6, hsp-3 and lmp-1/LAMP1). The daf-2 and isp-1 RNAi clones were previously published65 (link)66 (link). All RNAi clones were verified by sequencing.
For RNAi experiments, HT115 bacteria were grown in Luria-Bertani (LB) liquid culture medium containing 0.1 mg ml−1 carbenicillin (Carb; BioPioneer) and 80 μl aliquots of bacterial suspension were spotted onto 6 cm nematode growth medium (NGM)/Carb plates. Bacteria were allowed to grow for 1–2 days. For induction of dsRNA expression, 80 μl of a solution containing 0.1 M isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (Promega) and 50 μg ml−1 Carb was placed directly onto the lawn. For whole-life RNAi, animals were synchronized by hypochlorous acid treatment or eggs were manually transferred onto NGM plates seeded with dsRNA-expressing HT115 bacteria. For adult-only RNAi, animals were synchronized by hypochlorous acid treatment and eggs were allowed to hatch on NGM plates seeded with OP50 bacteria. On day 1 of adulthood, animals were transferred to NGM/Carb plates seeded with dsRNA-expressing or control bacteria.

Recombinant PbPH Protein Purification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
P. berghei RNA was extracted from P. berghei-infected mouse blood 4 days after infection, and cDNA was synthesized using an RNA-to-cDNA kit (Takara). The pbph gene was amplified with primers pbph-F and pbph-R (Additional file 1, Table S1) using P. berghei cDNA as the template. The PCR fragment was cloned into the expression vector pET30a (+) at the NdeI and HindIII sites and transformed in Escherichia coli BL-21. Protein expression was induced at 20 °C for 12 h in the presence of isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (Promega) at a final concentration of 1 mM and 1 % anhydrous D-glucose. Bacterial cells were lysed on ice by sonication for 15 cycles (20 s pulses with 30 s intervals between each cycle) and the resultant suspension passed through a 0.22-μm filter. The filtered supernatant was loaded onto a Ni-NTA His•Bind Superflow column (Millipore) and purified according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Purified protein was dialyzed overnight in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2) containing 0.2 mM PMSF at 4 °C and an aliquot was analyzed on a 12 % SDS-PAGE gel. Protein samples were quantified using a Bradford assay.

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.
