Constructing V5-tagged human SM22 and mutants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
pCMV6-XL5-hSM22 was purchased from Origene Inc (#sc118118). To construct the C-terminal V5 tagged human SM22 and its truncation mutants, an EcoRI-XhoI-BamHI-KpnI-V5-XbaI fragment was subcloned into EcoRI and XbaI sites of pcDNA3.1. The resulting construct was cleaved with HindIII and XhoI followed by insertion of the PCR fragments containing the full length V5-tagged human SM22 or its truncation mutants. Clones were verified by sequencing (Genewiz Technologies, INC).
The pCGN-SRF plasmid and the luciferase reporter driven by the 4xCArG boxes from the fos promoter were generous gift from Dr. Eric Olson [28 (link), 29 (link)]. The 1.4kb mouse Egr3 promoter (upstream of the ATG) containing the CArG box (CCATATATGG) was PCR cloned into the XhoI/HindIII sites of pGL3-basic luciferase vector (Promega). About 2kb rat Nik promoter (upstream of the ATG) containing the CArG box (CCAACAATGG) was PCR cloned into the NheI/HIII sites of pGL3-basic luciferase vector (Promega). The CArG box mutant (TTAACAATT) was subsequently generated as the Nik2kbCArGmut-luc. All constructed luciferase reporters containing the promoter fragment or the CArG box mutant were verified by sequencing (Genewiz Technologies, INC). All plasmids DNA were prepared for transfection using the plasmid Prep kit (Qiagen).

Multicopy Suppressor Screen in Yeast

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The multicopy suppression screen was performed using a YEP13 library (2µ, LEU2 vector) containing 5-20kb inserts of yeast genomic DNA (Nasmyth and Reed, 1980) . The YEP13 pooled library was transformed into vma21 and vma13 vma21 double mutants and plated onto media lacking leucine to select for plasmid transformation. Approximately 10,000 colonies were then replica plated onto YPG media. For colonies that grew, the plasmid was isolated from yeast using a Qiagen plasmid prep kit (with glass beads added to lysis buffer) and the plasmid was transformed into E. coli, isolated (Qiagen) and sequenced with primers flanking the insertion site to identify the genomic region contained on the plasmid. For validation, FET4 was cloned with ~400bp of the upstream promoter into the pAG425 (resulting plasmid named pBMW182a) backbone using the Yeast Gateway System Vectors (obtained from Addgene) (Alberti et al., 2007) .

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.
