HA-TRB3 and FLAG-β-tubulin constructs have been described elsewhere (5 (link)). Plasmids encoding HA-tagged LRR (leucine-rich-repeat) domains of LRRFIP2 (Addgene plasmid # 21152) and Fli1 (Addgene plasmid # 21151) were a gift from Dr Junying Yuan (Harvard University), and Flag-MyD88 (Addgene plasmid # 13093) was a gift from Dr Ruslan Medzhitov (HHMI, Yale School of Medicine). pcDNA3-HA-Fli1 was generated by PCR-based amplification of full-length, mouse Fli1, using pCMV-Sport6 mFli1 (Horizon Discovery) as template, and cloned into pcDNA3.1 vector using HindIII and Xho1 sites, in frame with a C-terminal HA tag. Myc-APEX2-TRB3 was generated by PCR amplification of APEX2 using pcDNA3-APEX2-NES as template (Addgene plasmid #49386, kind gift of Alice Ting, Stanford University) and subcloned into BamH1 and Xho1 sites of pcDNA3 Myc plasmid, followed by subcloning of TRB3 in frame with APEX2, using EcoRI and XbaI sites. NFκB-luciferase was purchased from Clontech. Nickase-Ninja TRB3 gRNA plasmids were purchased from ATUM Bioscience. Each plasmid expressed CMV promoter driving a Cas9N nickase mutant that causes single-strand breaks and coexpresses two gRNAs using dual U6 promoters. gRNA directed against GFP was included as control (47 (link)). Sequences of dual gRNAs targeting either Exon 2 or Exon 3 of the mouse TRB3 gene are included in Supporting information section.

All oligonucleotides used in PCR analyses are listed in Supplemental Table 1. A plasmid containing Flag-APEX2 under control of S. pombe adh1+ promoter (16 (link)) was generated via Gibson Assembly protocol by assembling two PCR-amplified fragments of Flag-APEX2 from pcDNA3 APEX2-NES (Plasmid #49386, Addgene) (by primers oJH39/40) and adh1+ promoter-driven vector pJB114 (by primers oJH41/42) following manufacturer’s protocol (NEB). The dsc5-Flag-APEX2 and dsc5-ΔUBX-Flag-APEX2 were generated via Gibson Assembly by assembling two PCR-amplified fragments of Flag-APEX2 from pcDNA3 APEX2-NES (using oJH116/117 and oJH113/117, respectively) and adh1+ promoter-driven dsc5 vector pREB30 (oJH118/119 and oJH118/114, respectively). A plasmid containing Flag-APEX2 under control of S. cerevisiae GAL1 promoter was generated via Gibson Assembly by assembling two PCR-amplified fragments of GAL1-driven vector pRS425 (a gift from Susan Michaelis Lab, Johns Hopkins University) (by oJH124/125) and Flag-APEX2 (oJH126/127) from pcDNA3 APEX2-NES.

Cells were transfected with APEX2‐TM4SF5 plasmid (homemade using pcDNA3 APEX2‐NES [#49386, Addgene, Watertown, MA, USA]) for 48 h, fixed with 2% glutaraldehyde and 2% paraformaldehyde solution at 4°C for 16 h, washed 3 times with 100 mmol/L sodium cacodylate buffer (97068, Sigma‐Aldrich), and treated with 20 mmol/L glycine solution (50046, Sigma‐Aldrich). The cells were then stained with freshly diluted 0.5 mg/mL DAB (D12384, Sigma‐Aldrich) in 10 mmol/L H2O2 solution, washed with sodium cacodylate buffer 3 times, fixed using 2% (W/V) osmium tetroxide (75633, Sigma‐Aldrich) for 40 min on ice, rinsed with ice‐cold distilled water, and dehydrated in a graded ethanol series (50%‐100%) for 15 min at each step. The sample was then mixed 1:1 (v/v) with EMBED‐812 resin (50‐980‐446, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and anhydrous ethanol for 1 h. The mixture was incubated overnight in 2:1 (v/v) resin and then exchanged with 100% resin for 2 h before transfer to fresh resin, followed by polymerization at 60°C for 24 h. Embedded cell pellets were cut with a diamond knife into 50 nm sections and imaged on an FEI‐Tecnai G2 Spirit Bio Twin TEM instrument. Images were taken using a 120 kV transmission electron microscope (Talos L120C, FEI, Hillsboro, OR, USA) at the National Instrumentation Center for Environmental Management (NICEM) in Seoul National University (Seoul, S.

APEX2-NES-P2A-EGFP, LCK-APEX2-P2A-EGFP, and H2B-APEX2-P2A-EGFP were synthesized by Genscript and subcloned into pAAV-EF1a-DIO-WPRE-hGH vector (a gift from Dr. Karl Deisseroth (Addgene plasmid #20297) using restriction enzymes AscI and NheI. APEX2 sequence was cloned based on pcDNA3-APEX2-NES (a gift from Dr. Alice Ting; Addgene plasmid #49386 12 ). APEX AAVs was packaged into adeno-associated virus serotype 1 by the University of North Carolina (UNC) vector core service or Vigene Biosciences (Rockville, MD. USA).

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.
