WT and K700E FLAG-SF3B1 sequences were subcloned from Addgene
plasmids 82576 and 82577 into pDONR-A-HYG (Addgene 29635) to make
pENTR-SF3B1-WT and pENTR-SF3B1-K700E. Site-directed
mutagenesis with overlap extension PCR then created pENTR plasmids for the E592K, E622D,
K666R, K666N, R625H, K741N, and E902K variants of SF3B1, and these were
subcloned into lentiviral vector pLX301 (Addgene 25895). Plasmids used for
SF3B1 affi nity purification have been previously described17 (link). Site-directed mutagenesis of the
p3xFLAG-CMV-14-His6-FLAG-SF3B1 vector was done by overlap extension PCR to make the E592K
vector.

Mitochondrial Protein Tagging and CRISPR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In order to tag mitochondrial subunits (IDH2, UQCRB, UQCRC1, COX5B, and COX7A2L) with Venus or NanoLuc fragments, gene blocks were designed with gateway recombination cloning overhangs. The split Venus and NanoBiT sequences used in this study were adapted from by Ohashi et al. 32 (link) and Promega, respectively. IDT gBlocks were ligated into pDONR221 using Gateway BP Clonase II and subsequently shuttled into lentiviral expression vectors pLX301 (Addgene, #25895) and pLX304 (Addgene, #25890) using Gateway LR Clonase II according to manufacturer’s instructions. BiFC and NanoBiT construct pairs were sequentially transduced in U2OS cell lines to maximize transduction efficiency of both constructs. For CRISPR cloning, primer sequences were annealed and modified using T4 Polynucleotide Kinase (NEB), diluted, and ligated into lentiCRISPR v2 using Quick Ligase (NEB), following previous protocols 54 . For FAR1 overexpression, we used the lentiviral plasmid pLV[Exp]-Bsd-CMV>FAR1 (VB191206–1681rzb, VectorBuilder). Sequences for BiFC/NanoBiT constructs and CRISPR/Cas9 guides cloned into the lentiCRISPR v2 (puromycin, hygromycin selection) vectors are present in Supplementary Table 1.

Lentiviral Transduction of CL3EcoR Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lentiviruses expression constructs were used to stably transduce CL3EcoR cells. The ORF for each gene of interest was inserted into pLX301 or pLEX-MCS lentiviral vectors by gateway recombinational cloning or by DNA manipulation. Vectors pLX301 (catalogue number 25895) and pLEX-MCS (catalogue number OHS4735) were from Addgene and Thermo Scientific Open Biosystems respectively. Hygromycin resistant expression constructs for LIN9, LIN37, LIN52-S28A and LIN54 were provided by LL and JAD. Since CL3EcoR cells were hygromycin resistant, each of the inserts was sub-cloned into the puromycin resistant pLEX-MCS vector. Full length MYBL2 clone (HsCD00045539) and LIN9 (FL-LIN9) ORF, corresponding to a predicted LIN9 ORF 16 amino acids longer at the amino terminus than the original LIN9 were obtained from DNASU, a plasmid repository (https://dnasu.org/DNASU/). Gateway recombination cloning was used to insert these ORFs into the pLX301 destination vector. Both the constitutively active and the wild type form of FOXM1 were provided by Prof. Rene Medema (Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam, Netherlands) and sub-cloned into pLEX-MCS lentiviral vector. WT-LIN52-S28 and LIN52-S28E mutants were designed and ordered from GeneArt Gene Synthesis and Services [ThermoFisher Scientific (https://www.thermofisher.com/)]. The ORFs were cloned into pLEX-MCS vector.

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.
