Cloning and Sequencing Bunyavirus Genomes

Complete genome segments were amplified from the cDNA of BTV-1 RSArrrr/01 and BTV-26 KUW2010/02 by PCR using the primers shown in Table 1. The upstream primers contained a T7 promoter sequence and a restriction site for unidirectional cloning, while the downstream primers contained restriction sites for cloning and for linearization at the 3’ end of the segment, as described [53 (link)]. PCR was carried out using a PCR extender system (5 Prime) and the PCR products were double digested with the appropriate restriction enzymes. These were ligated into pGEX-4T-2, digested with the same enzymes, and transformed into competent cells of E. coli STBL2 (Invitrogen). Colonies obtained on ampicillin-containing agarose plates were confirmed by plasmid purification (Qiagen) and DNA sequencing (using the BigDye Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit, Invitrogen). Alternatively, plasmid clones for some segments were synthesized by GeneArt (see results section for details).

Generation of Caspase-3 and Caspase-7 Variants

Open reading frames (ORF) of human Caspase-3 and Caspase-7 (Source Bioscience) were amplified with primers adding EcoRI and XhoI sequences to 5’ and 3’ ends respectively, digested (Takara), purified (Nucleospin Extract II, Magerey-Nagel), subcloned into pcRII (Invitrogen) by using T4 DNAligase (Takara) and amplified in E. coli Stbl2 (Invitrogen). Then, a SfiI fragment containing the ORF was subcloned in the pEIGW-SK lentiviral vector (kind gift of Dr. Trono, Switzerland). Cysteine to Serine mutants from Caspase-3 and Caspase-7 were obtained using a Site-Directed Mutagenesis System (LifeTechnologies), and their ORF were sequence-verified. Lentiviruses were prepared in the HEK293T packing cell line as described previously [17 (link)]; cardiomyocytes were treated or processed after 4 days of transduction, as described elsewhere [17 (link)].

All plasmids were prepared using commercial MiniPrep kits (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). All enzymes were obtained from New England Biolabs and used per the manufacturer’s recommendations. PCR reactions were carried out using Q5 High-Fidelity Polymerase (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA) per the manufacturer’s protocols. Primers were ordered from Genosys (Sigma-Aldirch, Burlington, MA) or Integrated DNA Technologies (Coralville, IA). Except where noted, genomic DNA was extracted using QuikExtract DNA reagent (Lucigen, Middleton, WI). Except where noted, non-viral plasmids were maintained in competent DH5-alpha E. coli, prepared by the Vanderbilt Molecular Cell Biology Resource (MCBR), lentiviral and retroviral plasmids were maintained in Stbl2 E. coli (ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA), and cloned plasmids were initially transformed into competent cells included with kits. Gibson assemblies were carried out using the NEB Gibson Assembly Cloning kit. Site Directed Mutagenesis was carried out using the QuikChange Lightning II cloning kit (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA). PCR cloning was carried out using the NEB PCR cloning kit. All Sanger sequencing was completed by Genewiz, Inc (South Plainfield, NJ).

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.
