Constructing IRE1α Vectors and Mutants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MITOL expression vectors and ubiquitin mutants were constructed as described previously (Sugiura et al, 2013). IRE1α‐FLAG and IRE1α‐HA expression vector were obtained by subcloning IRE1 alpha‐pcDNA3.EGFP (purchased from Addgene). Point mutations of IRE1α were generated with the site‐directed mutagenesis kit (Stratagene). IRE1α‐GFP expression vector was generated as described previously (Li et al, 2010). miRNA luciferase reporters, G‐CEPIA1er, and mCherry‐Sec61β (mC‐Sec61β) were purchased from Addgene.

INPP5K cDNA Cloning and Mutagenesis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human INPP5K cDNA was amplified from human skeletal muscle mRNA and cloned in pAcGFP-C1 (for mammalian expression) and pGEX-4T-2 (for bacterial expression). INPP5K mutants were generated by site-directed mutagenesis22 (link) and verified by sequencing. The expression vector for the ER marker mCherry-Sec61β (Addgene plasmid #49155) was a gift from Gia Voeltz.23 (link)

Rapoport (Harvard University, Cambridge, MA) and D. Cutler (Schikorski et al., 2007 (link)), respectively. Mito-BFP (plasmid #49151; Addgene; http://n2t.net/addgene:49151), Seipin-EGFP (plasmid #129719; Addgene; http://n2t.net/addgene:129719), mCherry-Sec61β (plasmid # 90994; Addgene; https://www.addgene.org/90994) and TOM20-mCherry (plasmid #55146; Addgene; http://n2t.net/addgene:55146) were purchased from Addgene.

Engineered Fluorescent Sec61β Constructs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
mEmerald-Sec61β and mCherry-Sec61β were acquired from Addgene (plasmids 54249 and 49155, respectively). GFP-KDEL was cloned as previously described (Merta et al., 2021 (link)). In brief, a pDsRed2-ER vector (632409; Clontech) was digested with AgeI and HindIII to remove DsRed2, and a PCR-amplified GFP sequence with AgeI and HindIII sites was ligated into the vector. SNAP-Sec61β and Halo-Sec61β were cloned as previously described (Bottanelli et al., 2016 (link)). Briefly, mEmerald-Sec61β (above) was digested with NheI and BgIII to remove mEmerald, and a PCR-amplified HaloTag or SNAP-tag sequence with NheI and BgIII sites was ligated in mEmerald’s place.

The expression vectors for BCR-ABL, Pickles 2.34, were described previously (Mizutani et al., 2010; Horiguchi et al., 2017) . cDNA for BCR-ABL truncation mutants was generated by PCR with the following primers: BCR_F and BCR_fr1_R, BCR_fr2_F and BCR_fr2_R, BCR_fr3_F and BCR_fr3_R, BCR_fr4_F and BCR_fr4_R, BCR_fr5_F and BCR_fr5_R, BCR-ABL-J_F and BCR-ABL-J_R, ABL_fr1_F and ABL_fr1_R, ABL_fr2_F and ABL_fr2_R, ABL_fr3_F and ABL_fr3_R, ABL_fr4_F and ABL_fr4_R, and ABL_fr5_F and ABL_R. cDNA for BCR-ABL-ΔN was also obtained by PCR with BCR_fr3_F and ABL_R. The resulting PCR products were cleaved by XhoI and NotI and were then subcloned into the XhoI/NotI sites of the pFX-H2B-Venus or the pFX-Venus-Rab5 (Kashiwagi et al., submitted for publication).
cDNAs for FYVE, CD63, LAMP1, and TMEM192 were amplified by PCR with the following primers: FYVE_F and FYVE_R, CD63_F and CD63_R, LAMP1_F and LAMP1_R and TMEM192_F and TMEM192_R. These sequences were then subcloned into the XhoI/NotI sites of the pFX-mCherry vector or the pFX-TFP650 vector (Kashiwagi et al., submitted for publication). mCherry-Sec61 β (# 49155) was obtained from Dr. Gia Voeltz via Addgene (Watertown, MA, USA). Expression vectors for other organelle markers will be described elsewhere (Kashiwagi et al., submitted for publication). The primers used in this study are listed in Table S1.

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.
