Rapid Synthesis of Multimeric DNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Multimeric DNA molecules were prepared by two steps. First, linear DNA fragments (i.e. inserted DNA fragment and vector backbone), both of which contained 3′ and 5′ 40‐ to 50‐bp overlapping termini, were generated by high‐fidelity PCR with the Takara PrimerSTAR Max DNA Polymerase. Second, the multimeric DNA molecules were generated based on these DNA templates by POE‐PCR. In POE‐PCR, each PCR tube contained 4 ng μl−1 purified insertion DNA fragment, equimolar purified vector backbone and PrimerSTAR Max Premix without the addition of primers, where the insertion and vector fragments were concomitantly used as primers and templates (Fig. 1). POE‐PCR was conducted as follows: denaturation at 98°C for 3 min, 25 to 30 cycles of denaturation at 98°C for 20 s, annealing at 65°C for 20 s, and extension at 72°C at a rate of 2 kb min−1 for Takara PrimerSTAR Max DNA Polymerase based on the length of the desired chimeric vector; extension at 72°C for 10 min.

After double digestion with restriction endonucleases SacI and NotI, the PCR products were cloned into a pET-28a His-tagged vector. The recombinant plasmids harboring the cloned SHMT CDS were then transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) competent cells (Transgen Biotech, Beijing, China). The transformed recombinant strain E. coli BL21 (DE3) was inoculated into LB kanamycin-medium and grown for 2 h at 37 °C in a rotary shaker at 220× rpm until OD600 was 0.6. Then, prokaryotic expression was induced with 0.1 mmol/l of IPTG at 25 °C for 10 h.

The RT-PCR was performed using PrimerSTAR MaxDNA Polymerase (TaKaRa, Shiga, Japan), and the appropriate annealing temperature for PCR according to the properties of primer pairs for different genes. The number of amplification reaction cycles in this study was 30. The RT-PCR experiment for each gene was conducted with 3 biological replicates. The PCR products were determined using electrophoresis on the 1% agarose gels. Specific primers for different OsSR genes and the control gene OsActin used for RT-PCR are listed in Table S7.
For the qRT-PCR experiment, SYBR Green qPCR Master Mix (TOROIVD) was used, and the experiment was conducted on LightCycler 480 II (Roche, South San Francisco, CA, USA). The data was analyzed as previously described using OsActin as the internal standard (Livak & Schmittgen, 2001 (link)). The qRT-PCR experiment was carried out using 3 biological replicates, and 3 technical replicates were performed for each biological replicate. The qRT-PCR data was calculated using 2−ΔΔCT method and Student’s t-test. The primer sequences for qRT-PCR are listed in Table S6.

To construct the pWPI-flag-Rheb-WT and pWPI-flag-Rheb-C181S plasmids, the same forward primer was (pWPI-Rheb-F or pWPI-Rheb-C181S-F): 5′-CTAGCCTCGAGGTTTAAACGCCACCATGGATTATAAGGATGACGACGATAAACCTCAGTCCAAGTCCCGGAAGA-3′. The reverse PCR primer for the WT Rheb (pWPI-Rheb-R) was 5′-TGCAGCCCGTAGTTTAAACTCACATCACCGAGCACGAAGACT-3′. For RhebC181S mutant, the reverse primer (pWPI-Rheb-C181S-R) was: 5′-TGCAGCCCGTAGTTTAAACTCACATCACCGAGCTCGAAGACT-3′, in which the codon for cysteine (ACG) is replaced with serine (TCG).

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.
