Sourced in United States

The Model PDS-1000/He Biolistic Particle Delivery System is a laboratory equipment designed to facilitate the delivery of DNA-coated particles into target cells or tissues. The core function of this system is to provide a controlled and efficient method for the introduction of genetic material into living samples using high-velocity helium gas.

Transient Expression of Soybean Clock Genes

Transient expression of GmCOL2, GmCOL5 and GmFTL1 to 6 tagged by YFP in soybean young leaves was performed with a Model PDS-1000/He Biolistic Particle Delivery System (Bio-Rad). 10 micrograms of purified plasmids were coated with 500 μg 1 μm-gold particles, as described by the manufacturer. After bombardment, young soybean leaves were incubated overnight at 25°C on solid 1/2 MS medium. Fluorescent cells were imaged by confocal microscopy (Leica TCS SP5, Leica Microsystem, Wetzlar, Germany). YFP was excited by the 514-nm argon laser line, and PI (Propidium iodide) stain was excited using a 561-nm He-Ne laser. Fluorescence was detected using photomultiplier tube settings as follows: YFP (520 to 560 nm), and PI (570 to 620 nm). At last, post-acquisition image analyzing and processing were performed using MBF ImageJ (version 1.46) (https://www.macbiophotonics.ca/).

The full-length ORFs of IQM4 and CaM5 were generated by RT-PCR using IQM4-F5/R5 primers and CaM5-F/R primers, respectively (Supplementary Table S1), for the BiFC assay using onion epidermal cells. IQM4 ORF was fused into the Hind III and Xma I sites downstream of the nEYFP gene in the pSATN-nEYFP-C1 vector, and CaM5ORF was inserted into the EcoR I and Sal I sites downstream of cEYFP in the pSATN-cEYFP-C1 vector (Citovsky et al., 2006 (link)). The plasmid combinations were introduced into onion epidermal cells with the Model PDS-1000/He Biolistic Particle Delivery System (Bio-Rad) using 1-μm diameter gold particles, as described in the manufacturer’s instructions. After bombardment, the onion epidermal tissues were incubated overnight at 25°C on solid Murashige-Skoog (MS) medium in the dark, and observed with an epifluorescence microscope (TE2000-U, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan).The plasmid combinations were introduced into Arabidopsis mesophyll protoplasts as described by Sheen (2001) (link). After incubating for 18 h at 23°C in the dark, the protoplasts were examined for YFP signal using confocal laser scanning microscopy (LSM 7 DUO, Zeiss).

Transient Expression in Onion Epidermal Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in Arabidopsis by floral dip and transient expression in tobacco by infiltration were performed, as described previously [28 (link)]. To visualize the subcellular localization of GmCWI4 in onion epidermal cells, a transient expression system was established based on an optimized protocol. Control plasmid (SecGFP) and YFP-fusion plasmid were bombarded with 1.6 μm gold particles while using the Model PDS-1000/He Biolistic Particle Delivery System (Bio-Rad, Berkeley, CA, USA) with 4481 kPa helium pressure, a vacuum of 86 kPa and a distance of 6 cm. Bombarded cells were incubated for 48 h and then visualized by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) (Zeiss, Germany). GFP fluorescence detection of transformed cells should treat with 20 mm PIPES buffer (pH 7.0) for 3 h after 48h incubation.

Expressing GFP-tagged Ccdc42 in Tetrahymena

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To express GFP-tagged Ccdc42 in Tetrahymena thermophila cells, the coding region of the putative T. thermophila Ccdc42 homolog (TTHERM_00730320) was cloned into pMTT1-GFP to generate pMTT1-GFP-Ccdc42. The DNA was amplified with primers carrying MluI (5’-TATATACGCGTCATGATTAATAAAATAAAATCTAAT-3’) and BamHI (5’-TAATTGGATCCCTATCAATAGTTGTATTTAGTTTATTT-3’) sites. The transgene was introduced into starved CU522 Tetrahymena thermophila cells with a Bio-Rad Model PDS-1000/He Biolistic Particle Delivery System. Briefly, T. Thermophila were bombarded with SacII- and XhoI-digested pMTT1-GFP-Ccdc42 plasmid and transformants were selected from SPP medium (1% proteose peptone, 0.2% glucose, 0.1% yeast extract, and 0.003% EDTA ferric sodium salt) with 20 μM paclitaxel. Using this approach, the transgene integrated by homologous recombination into the nonessential BTU1 gene which carries a mutation conferring sensitivity to paclitaxel(Shang et al., 2002 (link)). The copy number of the transgene was increased by allowing cells to sort the mutant BTU1 allele during vegetative propagation in the presence of paclitaxel. To induce expression of GFP-Ccdc42, cells were incubated in 2.5 μg/ml CdCl2 (202908, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) for 2 hours.

Yeast strains used in this study are listed in the Key Resources Table.
C. neoformans strains were constructed by
biolistic transformation (Chun and Madhani, 2010). Briefly, the
ORF, 3′ UTR and downstream 500 bp of
PRP43-Q435E followed by a selection
marker and flanked by 1 kb of homology to the
URA5 locus were cloned into vector pRS316
using homologous recombination in S.
cerevisiae
. 10μg of the plasmid were linearized
and desiccated and then precipitated onto gold beads using
spermidine and CaCl2. DNA-coated gold beads were shot
into cells using a gene gun (BioRad, Model PDS-1000/He
Biolistic-Particle Delivery System). Insertion of the full
construct into the genome was confirmed by colony PCR using
primers outside the sequence included in the plasmid and failure
to grow on SC –Ura medium. The existence of the wild
type and mutant copies of PRP43 were confirmed
by Sanger sequencing and detected by RNA-seq. Tags in all
strains (including those previously constructed) were confirmed
by Western blot.

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.
