Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HPV58 E6 and E7 genes were modified to inactivate their transforming activity and then fused into one reading frame. According to the literature, the amino acids mutations at 50L, 63C, and 106C in E6 have been shown to remove the ability to degrade p53 and inactivate its oncogenic activity,19 (link),20 (link) and the E7 amino acids at positions 24C, 26E, and 92C were mutated to abolish retinoblastoma (Rb) binding and degradation.20 (link)–22 (link) For all mutations, the wild-type amino acids were mutated to glycine. In addition, for vaccine plasmid transcription, the E6 and E7 mutations were deleted their termination signal and fused into one reading frame without altering their amino acid sequences. The modified HPV58 E6E7 fusion gene was named mE6E7. The HPV58 mE6E7 fusion fragment was commercially synthesized (Qingke Biologic Technology Company, Beijing, People’s Republic of China) and cloned into the pGEM-T easy vector (Takara, Dalian, People’s Republic of China) to generate the pGEM-T easy-HPV58 mE6E7 plasmid. The presence of the HPV58 mE6E7 gene in the plasmid was verified by sequencing analysis.

Before extracting the total RNA, all treated N. lugens nymphs were stored at −80°C in an ultra-low temperature freezer. The method and reagents for extracting the total RNA followed those outlined by Dalian Takara Co., Ltd. (Liaoning, China). The first strand of cDNA was synthesized with 500 ng total RNA and PrimeScriptTM RT reagent Kit (Takara Co., Ltd., Liaoning, China). Paired primers (10 nM) were designed and used to clone two 383 and 420 bp fragments of the target genes CYP4G76 and CYP4G115, respectively. The green fluorescent protein (GFP, GenBank: AF372525.1) with an 864 bp fragment was used as a control. All primers were shown in Table 1.

All reagents were supplied by Takara Co., Ltd. (Dalian, Liaoning, China). The target fragments were retrieved from 1.0% agarose gel with Gel Extraction Kit (OMEGA Bio-tek, Norcross City, Georgia, United States), and were then cloned in pGEM-T Easy Vector (Takara Co., Ltd., Dalian, Liaoning, China), according to product manual.

Genomic DNA was isolated as previously described [31 (link)]. Simply intact individuals of the scorpion M. martensii were washed three times with 75% ethanol and grounded to fine powder in liquid nitrogen. Then genomic DNA extraction was performed using TIANamp Genomic DNA Kit (Tiangen, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Primers (Supplementary Table S1) from 5′-UTR and 3′-UTR regions of the predicted defensin genes from the scorpion M. martensii genome were picked up to amplify the corresponding genomic DNA by PCR. Amplification was performed with one cycle of 5 min at 95°C, 30 cycles of 40 s at 95°C, 40 s at 58°C, 150 s at 72°C, and a final cycle of 10 min at 72°C using Ex Taq (TaKaRa, China). PCR products were purified using the DNA Clean-up Kit (CWBio, China) and ligated to pGEM-T Easy Vector (TaKaRa, China). Sequencing was performed by Tsingke Biological Technology.

The PCR product was purified using a GeneJET PCR Purification Kit (Fermentas, USA). Purified PCR products were ligated into a pGEM–T Easy vector, transformed into DH5α Escherichia coli cells following the manufacturer’s instructions (Takara Bio Inc., Japan) and sequenced at Majorbio Bio-Pharm Technology Co.

The representative sequences were compared to those available in the GenBank databases using the basic local alignment tool nucleotide (BLASTN) through the National Center for Biotechnology Information server. The bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences and fungal 18S rRNA gene sequences obtained were deposited in GenBank under accession numbers KU514494 to KU515401 and KU515483 to KU515952, respectively. Phylogenetic trees were
constructed with the neighbor-joining method using MEGA 4.044 (link). Bootstrap resampling analysis for 1000 replicates was performed to estimate the confidence of the tree topologies.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mammalian cell culture experiments were performed using the HEK293 cell line (American type culture collection). For site-specific integration of the 3×Flag-GFP into the endogenous TDP43 locus, three sgRNAs were designed to target regions close to the TDP43 start codon and cloned into pGuide-it vector (TaKaRa) using published methods (36 (link)). To construct the donor vector, ∼1,000-bp homologous arms located upstream or downstream from the TDP43 start codon were amplified by PCR. The 3×Flag-GFP sequence was also PCR amplified. The three DNA pieces, upstream of TDP43 start codon, 3×Flag-GFP, and downstream, were introduced into pGEM-T Easy vector by In-Fusion cloning (TaKaRa). HEK293 cells were cotransfected with the donor vector and small guide RNAs using Lipofectamine 2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Posttransfection, cells were split at low density to allow formation of single colonies. GFP-positive colonies containing properly inserted 3×Flag-GFP were screened by anti-Flag Western blotting and confirmed by DNA sequencing.

A gel extraction kit (Omega) was used to purify the amplified product, which was then ligated to the pGEM-T easy vector (TaKaRa) and transformed into Escherichia coli DH5α. A positive clone was selected on LB agar plates that contained 50 μg mL-1 ampicillin after incubation at 37 ºC overnight. The resulting clones were sequenced by Shanghai Sunny Biotech Co., Ltd.

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.
