Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
FLAG-tagged PITX1 expression plasmids were as described previously [29 (link)]. pFLAG-ZCCHC10 was constructed by amplification of ZCCHC10 cDNA from IMR90 cDNA by PCR using KOD plus DNA polymerase (TOYOBO, Osaka, Japan) and the following primer sequences; forward primer: 5'- GAAGATCTTATGGCGACTCCCATGCATCGGCTAA, reverse primer: 5'- GGGGTACCCTATTTCTTTTTCTTCTTCTTTGGT. Sequences were inserted into the BglⅡ/Acc65I (TOYOBO) digested FLAG-tagged vector pCMV-FLAG4 (Sigma). pCMV-FLAG4 was used as a control.
Non-tagged PITX1 or ZCCHC10 expression vector was inserted into the pCMV6-XL5 vector (Origene, Rockville, MD, USA) or pEBMulti-Bsd vector (Wako, Tokyo, Japan). PITX1 ΔHD1, ΔHD2, ΔOAR and ZCCHC10 ΔCCHC expression plasmids were established using a mutagenesis kit (TOYOBO), according to the manufacturer's instructions. The following primer sequences were used; PITX1 ΔHD1 forward primer: 5'-CGCGAGCGTAACCAGCAGCTGGAC, reverse primer: 5'-GCTCATGTCGGGGTAGCGGTTCCT, PITX1 ΔHD2 forward primer: 5'- ATGAGGGAGGAGATCGCCGTGTGG, reverse primer: 5'- CTGCTTCTTCTTCTTGGCTGGGTC, PITX1 ΔOAR forward primer: 5'- TTTGGCTACGGCGGCCTGCAGGGC, reverse primer: 5'- GTAGACGCTGTAGGGCGAGGCGGG, ZCCHC10 ΔCCHC forward primer: 5'- ACAGGAAAAAGAAAATACCTACAT, reverse primer: 5'- TCTTACATGTTGCTTATTTGCTTC.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For IAV, VSV and Ebola entry assays, pseudovirus based on HIV were prepared as previously reported.27 Briefly, HEK 293T cells were transfected with pNL4‐3‐luc RE and IAV HA/NA, VSV‐G or Ebola‐GP expressing plasmid. The HA and NA expression vectors of A/chicken/Hubei/327/2004(H5N1) and A/Anhui/1/YK_RG25/2013(H7N9) were gifts from Yi Shi (Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences). For SARS‐CoV and SARS‐CoV‐2 entry assays, pseudovirus based on murine leukaemia virus (MLV) were prepared by transection of HEK293T with spike protein expressing plasmid, pCgp and pRV107G‐luc. The SARS‐CoV and SARS‐CoV‐2 spike protein expression vectors were constructed by PCR from the pcDNA3.1‐SARS‐S‐P2A‐eGFP and pcDNA3.1‐SARS‐CoV‐2‐S‐P2A‐eGFP (Molecular Cloud No. MC_0101088 and MC_0101087) with 19aa deletion in C‐terminator. The mutant SARS‐CoV‐2 spike expression vectors were constructed by PCR from wild‐type (WT) spike expression vector with mutagenesis kit (TOYOBO).

Functional Analysis of C3 Variant

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As C3 p.W1034R was considered the most probable candidate variant for a causative mutation in this family with aHUS (Zhao et al., 2020 (link); Table S1), a functional analysis was conducted using a recombinant glutathione S‐transferase (GST)‐tagged C3 protein in which the amino acid at the 1034 position was substituted with arginine to demonstrate the functional effects of the variant (Supplementary Methods). Briefly, the PCR‐amplified fragments of C3 from 3004 to 3909 (Figure 2a), corresponding to C3d, were inserted into the pGEX6P‐1 vector (Cytiva, Tokyo, Japan), and the recombinant GST‐tagged C3d protein was expressed and purified using a glutathione Sepharose 4B column (Cytiva, Tokyo, Japan). Subsequently, the GST tag was removed by overnight incubation with PreScission Protease (Cytiva, Tokyo, Japan) at 4°C. A 3100T>C mutation in C3d introduced into the pGEX6P‐1 vector was induced using a mutagenesis kit (Toyobo, Osaka, Japan). As controls that had been reported to have deleterious effects on the binding between C3b protein and factor H (Schramm et al., 2015 (link)), the vectors harboring the 3187 A > C mutation, which leads to an amino‐acid substitution of serine to arginine (S1063R), and the 3281 C > A mutation, which leads to an amino‐acid substitution of alanine to aspartate (A1094D), were also constructed.

Human full-length NR0B1/DAX1 (Origene), NR5A1/SF1 (GenScript) and EGR1 (Addgene) plasmid vectors were commercially obtained. DAX1 cDNA containing the L295H mutation was created by mutagenesis kit (Toyobo, Osaka, Japan) with the following pairs of primers containing the appropriate nucleotide substitutions (CTC to CAC). 5′- CACATGCTTGAGCTGGCCCAGGACCGCT -3′, 5′- CAGGGACGCCCAGCAGTTGCGCACC -3′. The accuracy of the constructions was confirmed by direct sequencing.

For the construction of pET-28a(+)-YY1, a BamHI/EcoRI fragment encompassing the CDS of human YY1 (NM_003403.4) was ampli ed from human cDNA by PCR using primers YY1-F: CGGGATCCATGGCCTCGGGCGACACCC and YY1-R: CCGGAATTCTCACTGGT TGTTTTTGGCCTTAGCA, and the fragment was inserted into pET28a(+) vector for bacterial expression.
Colony formation HCC cells were seeded into 6-well dishes at a cell density of 1000 cells/well and treated with drugs for 10-14 days until clones were visible. PBS-washed cells were xed with 4% paraformaldehyde and stained with 1% crystal violet. The stained clones were counted.

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.
