Tol2-based Zebrafish Transgenic Constructs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
An 4.1 kb mitfa promoter fragment, the coding sequences for EGFP and bovine TWIST2, and the IRES casette were amplified separately and engineered into a vector containing Tol2 sites (pTKXIGΔin; Kawakami Laboratory) using the Gibson Assembly® Cloning kit from NEB. We thus generated the plasmids pmitfa_EGFP (control construct without TWIST2 expression cassette) and pmitfa_btaTWIST2_EGFP. A detailed map of these plasmids is given in S2 and S3 Figs.
An expression casette containing the gamma-crystallin promoter and the coding sequence of CFP was taken from Tg(hsp70l::caALK5) [43 (link)] and inserted into pmitfa_EGFP and and pmitfa_btaTWIST2_EGFP by Gibson cloning to generate pmitfa_EGFP_cryst_CFP and pmitfa_TWIST2_EGFP_cryst_CFP. A detailed map of these plasmids is given in S4 and S5 Figs. Plasmid DNA was purified using the Qiagen HiSpeed Maxiprep kit and the correct sequence was verified by Sanger sequencing.

IFITM3 Knockout and Overexpression in U138 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CRISPR constructs were purchased from the RNAi core at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and purified with the HiSpeed Maxiprep kit (Qiagen). U138 cells were transfected using Lipofectamine LTX according to the manufacturer’s instructions with px459 vector containing Cas9 and guide RNAs (either an empty vector or one of three IFITM3 guides). Transfected cells were incubated for 48 hrs prior to puromycin selection. Single cells were extracted and expanded. IFITM3 KO was confirmed by sequencing and WB.
Plasmid DNAs for human IFITM3 (OriGene) were cloned into the pcDNA3.1 vector. U138 EV and U138 IFITM3−/− cells were transfected with either pcDNA3.1 empty vector of pcDNA3.1 IFITM3 construct using Lipofectamine LTX according to the manufacturer’s instructions and allowed to incubate for 48 hrs prior to membrane preparation.

pMC454 was
transformed into LZ54 cells via heat shock, conditioning,
and growth at 30 °C as previously described.24 (link) A 10 mL overnight culture grown in LB/Amp at 30 °C
was used to inoculate 350 mL of modified TB (12 g of tryptone, 48
g of yeast extract, 30 mL of glycerol, 0.1 mL of antifoam 204, 2.32
g of KH2PO4, and 12.54 g of K2HPO4 per liter). Inoculated medium was incubated
at 30 °C while being shaken at 225 rpm to an OD600 of 2.0. The culture was then heat shocked to induce λ-integrase
activity via the addition of 350 mL of modified TB preheated to 60
°C, and cultures were shaken at 42 °C for 30 min before
norfloxacin was added to a final concentration of 30 μg/mL.
The temperature was returned to 30 °C, and cells were shaken
for an additional 1 h.24 (link)Cells were
harvested via centrifugation at 6000g for 15 min,
resuspended in Buffer P1 (Qiagen), and frozen at −20
°C. Plasmid DNA was purified using a HiSpeed Maxiprep
Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions and
eluted into 1 mL of buffer EB [10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.5)]. To confirm
that the λ-integrase disintegration reaction and decatenation
were complete, 1 μL of eluent was run on a 1% agarose gel (Figure 1).

Establishing Stable GFP-Expressing HT1080 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plasmid DNA was extracted from 150 mL of DH10β culture using the Qiagen HiSpeed Maxi Prep kit, digested at 37°C, and purified by phenol-chloroform extraction. To establish stable, green fluorescent protein (GFP) expressing cells, three batches of 12 x 10 6 viable cells were re-suspended in RPMI-1640 media (0.75 mL per cuvette) and transfected with 50 μg of pIRES-hrGFP DNA using a 4 mm electroporation cuvette and Gene Pulser XCell (BioRad) at 350 V and 950 μF of capacitance. Transfection efficiencies were typically 80%. Cells were transferred to CD 50/50 media and recovered 48 hours before selection pressure was applied.
Concentrations of 50, 100 and 250 μg/ml of Zeocin were used to establish the HT1080 libraries.
Selective pressure was maintained until culture viability was above 90%.

pAcGFP1-Hyg-C1-FAK (human wild-type FAK fused to Cter of GFP) was constructed by inserting the FAK PCR amplified insert in the BglII/SalI restriction sites of pAcGFP1-Hyg-C1 (Clontech). The I936E-I998E-FAK (FAKI936/I998) double mutant was generated using the QuikChange II XL site-directed mutagenesis kit (Agilent Technologies). Briefly, pAcGFP1-Hyg-C1-FAK was used as a template to generate the FAKI936/I998construct using FAKI936E-S (5′-GCCTGGTGAAAGCTGTCGAGGAGATGTCCAGTAAAATCCAGC-3′), FAKI936E-AS (5′-GCTGGATTTTACTGGACATCTCCTCGACAGCTTTCACCAGGC-3′), FAKI998E-S (5′-GAACTCTGACCTGGGTGAGCTCGAAAACAAGATGAAACTGGCC-3′), and FAKI998E-AS (5′-GGCCAGTTTCATCTTGTTTTCGAGCTCACCCAGGTCAGAGTTC-3′) primers. pcDNA3.1-mCherry-SrcY530F was generated by inserting the PCR product mCherry-SrcY530F in pcDNA3.1(zeo) (Invitrogen). All constructs were amplified and purified using Qiagen Hispeed Maxiprep kits and specific point mutations were verified by sequencing.

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.
