Yeast Growth Media Preparation and Transformation

Yeast growth media, including YPDA, YPG and synthetic dropout media, were
prepared as described [51 (link)].
Transformation of DNA into yeast cells was performed using early stationary
phase cells and a PEG/LiAc chemical-based method [52 (link)]. Synthetic media plates containing 2% glucose and
1% 5-fluoroorotic acid (5-FOA) (Gold Biotechnology) were used for
counterselective growth of Ura cells. Plasmid DNAs were
extracted from E. coli DH5a cells grown in liquid TB broth
using Qiaprep plasmid miniprep kits. Horizon 11–14 gel rigs were used to
perform gel electrophoresis using 0.7% - 0.9% agarose gels in 1 X TAE buffer (40
mM Tris, 20 mM acetic acid, 1 mM EDTA). Gels were stained in ethidium bromide
(0.5 μg/mL) for 15–20 min and images were captured using an Alpha
Innotech Red Imaging system.

Isolation and Characterization of Plasmids from Francisella

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
pFNMB1 msfgfp and pFNMB2 msfgfp were recovered from F. novicida with a Zyppy Plasmid Miniprep Kit (Zymo Research) after passaging the cultures for 4 days in liquid BHI supplemented with 100 μg/ml ampicillin and 500 ng/ml ATc as described above. About 250 ng of each plasmid DNA was then transformed into chemo-competent E. coli DH5α λpir. The transformed E. coli were plated on LB agar plates supplemented with 50 μg/ml kanamycin. Three independent experiments were carried out. The next day, colonies were grown in liquid LB supplemented with 50 μg/ml kanamycin, plasmid DNA was isolated and 250 ng of each plasmid was digested with SacI-HF and SpeI restriction enzymes (New England BioLabs) for 1 h. As control, both plasmids were additionally isolated from E. coli directly, without passaging in F. novicida, and digested identically. After heat inactivation of the enzymes (80°C for 20 min), the digested plasmids were loaded on a 1% agarose gel (BioConcept) together with a 1 kb ladder (New England BioLabs). DNA was stained with RedSafe (iNtRON Biotechnology) and a Red imaging system (Alpha Innotech) was used for imaging.

Quantitative RT-PCR Analysis in Zebrafish

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was isolated from whole zebrafish embryos using QIAzol Lysis Reagent (Cat. No. 79306; Qiagen, Venlo, Netherlands). The RT reaction was performed with 300 ng of total RNA prepared from each sample using an Omniscript RT Kit (Ca. No. 205111; Qiagen) with a mixture of oligo(dT) and random primers. The RT product (1 µL) was subjected to PCR amplification (15 µL) using a Taq PCR Core Kit (Ca. No. 201223; Qiagen) in a standard thermal cycler PC707 (ASTEC, Fukuoka, Japan). Thermal cycling conditions were as follows: 94 °C for 30 s, 53 °C for 30 s, and 72 °C for 60 s.
The following primers were used: vegfaa, fwd 5'-CTCCTCCATCTGTCTGCTGTAAAG-3' and rev 5'-CTCTCTGAGCAAGGCTCACAG-3' (29 cycles, product size: 490 bp); nos2a, fwd 5'-GTGTTCCCTC AGAGAACAGAT-3' and rev 5'-GATCAGTCCTTTGAAGCTGAC-3' (35 cycles, product size: 822 bp); and elfa, fwd 5'-CTTCTCAGGCTGACTGTGC-3' and rev 5'-CCGCTAGCATTACCCTCC-3' (29 cycles, product size: 358 bp). PCR products were separated by electrophoresis on a 1.5% agarose gel and visualized with SYBR Gold Nucleic Acid Gel Stain (Cat. No. S11494; Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA), followed by detection under a UV transilluminator (Red Imaging System; Alpha Innotech, San Diego, CA, USA). PCR bands were quantitated by densitometry using the ImageJ software in a blinded manner and normalized to the levels of elfa.

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.
