RNA ligase-mediated rapid amplification of 5′ cDNA ends (RLM-5′ RACE) was performed to map the cleavage sites of the target transcripts by using the GeneRacer kit (Invitrogen, USA). At 15 °C overnight, three replicates of l µg total RNA isolated from persimmon fruit samples were ligated with 5′ RACE RNA adaptors. Gene-specific primers (GSP) (Table S1) were designed to conduct 5′ RACE PCR. The PCR fragments were cloned into the pEASY-Blunt Simple vector (TransGen Biotech, Beijing, China) and subjected to sequencing.

pSpCas9(BB)‐2A‐GFP (pX458) was a gift from Feng Zhang (Addgene plasmid # 48138). The protospacer sequence targeting the Y381D mouse locus was synthesized from Genewiz and inserted into pX458 through BbsI. The HDR donor vector was constructed by insertion of the donor sequence into the pEASY‐Blunt Simple vector (TransGen Biotech). ssODNs (120 nt; Appendix Table S2) carrying the D381Y were synthesized from Genewiz. Hydrodynamic injection was performed as described previously (Liu et al, 1999) with minor modifications. Briefly, all dosages of plasmid solution were diluted into 1 ml (final volume) 0.9% NaCl. The tail vein injection was performed within 5–7s for maximum liver absorption. For the plasmid donor group, mice were injected with both pX458 (120 μg) and pEASY‐HDR donor (120 μg); for the ssODN donor group, mice were injected with pX458 (120 μg) and ssODN‐HDR donor (120 μg). The control group received 1 ml 0.9% NaCl only.

Total RNA was extracted from leaves using RNAprep pure Plant Kit (TIANGEN, Beijing, China), and the first strands of cDNA were synthesized via reverse transcription using PrimeScript™ II 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Takara, Dalian, China). The coding sequence (CDS) of BcCUC2 was amplified by gene-specific primers (see Table A1) based on the sequence of Bra022685 using homology cloning referred to in our previous report [25 (link)]. The resulting fragment was cloned into pEASYBlunt Simple Vector (Transgene, Beijing, China) and sequenced by Genscript Company (Nanjing, China). The physicochemical characteristics of BcCUC2 were predicted using Expasy proteomics server (https://web.expasy.org/protparam/, accessed on 10 July 2020). The secondary structure of BcCUC2 was predicted using PSIPRED 4.0 (http://bioinf.cs.ucl.ac.uk/psipred/, accessed on 10 July 2020).

To generate lentiviral vectors, EGFP-TTALE cassettes were inserted into the modified pEASY-Blunt Simple vector (TransGen Biotech) using SacI and AscI, and finally cloned into the pLE4 lentiviral vector (a kind gift from Dr Tomoaki Hishida) using BamHI and MluI. To package lentivirus constructs, HEK293T cells were transfected with lentiviral vectors together with the packaging plasmids pMD2.G (Addgene, 12260) and psPAX2 (Addgene, 12259). Supernatants containing viruses were harvested at 48 and 72 h after transfection, filtered with a 0.45-μm PVDF membrane (Millipore), concentrated by ultracentrifugation at 19 400× g for 2.5 h, and assessed for viral titers.

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.
