Noti and xbai restriction enzymes

Manufactured by New England Biolabs

NotI and XbaI are Type II restriction enzymes that recognize and cleave specific DNA sequences. NotI recognizes and cleaves the palindromic DNA sequence 'GCGGCCGC', while XbaI recognizes and cleaves the palindromic sequence 'TCTAGA'. These enzymes are commonly used in molecular biology techniques such as DNA cloning, genetic engineering, and DNA analysis.

Generation of C660R Top3β Mutant Flies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For generation of mutant flies carrying C660 R mutation in Top3β, pMT/V5-Flag-Top3β construct served as template to introduce the required mutation. The template was mutated using QuikChange Lightning Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit (Agilent Technologies) and a set of primers gTgTATCgCgAgTTCAAgCgCCCgCTggACgACTTTg and gATCAAAgTCgTCCAgCgggCGCTTgAACTCgCg, respectively, following the manufacture's protocol. The mutation was confirmed by sequencing. A Top3β fragment carrying the C660R mutation was excised out from PMT/V5 Vector using NotI and XbaI restriction enzymes (New England Biolab) and sub-cloned into NotI and XbaI digested pBID-UASC vector (Addgene).

Synthesis of Mutant nAChR Subunits

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cDNA sequences for human wild type α4 (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_000744.5), wild type β2 (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_000748.2), α4(R336H) (Chen et al., 2009 (link)) and β2(V337G) (Liu et al., 2011 (link)) were used to synthesize full-length cDNA for each subunit (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY). All constructs were fully sequenced and confirmed to be identical to the published sequences for each subunit. Each nAChR subunit cDNA was removed from the pMA shuttle vector using Not I and Xba I restriction enzymes (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA) and ligated into the pCI mammalian expression vector (Promega Madison, WI) using T4 DNA ligase (Promega, Madison, WI). The constructs were transformed into NEB 5-α competent E. coli cells (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA) for larger-scale production of cDNA. DNA was isolated using QIAprep Spin Miniprep kits (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). To prepare for cRNA synthesis, cDNA clones of the α4, α4(R336H), β2 and β2(V337G) subunits were linearized with the restriction enzyme Swa I and treated with proteinase K (30min at 50°C), then purified using Qiagen’s PCR clean-up kit. cRNAs were transcribed using the T7 mMESSAGE mMACHINE™ High Yield Capped RNA Transcription Kit (Ambion, Austin, TX). cRNA purity was confirmed on a 1% agarose gel and the final product was sub-aliquoted and stored at −80°C.

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.
