The CYP102 (also called P450 BM3
or CYP102(A1)) C62A/C156S/K97C triple mutant has been reported.29 (link) The His-containing mutant C62A/C156S/K97C/W96H
and CYP119 mutants S81C/H86 and S81C/H76W were prepared by the same
procedure. The plasmid for CYP119 was obtained from Prof. Paul Ortiz
de Montellano (UCSF). All mutations were made using a QuickChange
Site-Directed Mutagenesis kit (Qiagen). All primers were obtained
from Operon. The proteins were expressed with an N-terminal His6 tag in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)
cells as described previously.29 (link) All proteins
were purified according to a literature procedure29 (link) and characterized by ESI mass spectrometry.

RANKL 3′-UTR constructs were PCR amplified using cDNA encoding RANKL (NM_033012.3) as templates, and subcloned into pGL3-Basic vector using In-Fusion™ advantage PCR cloning Kit (Clontech, USA) for Luciferase reporter gene assay. The construction of the RANKL 3′-UTR mutant was done by PCR using the Quickchange™ site directed mutagenesis kit from Qiagen (Qiagen, USA).

Identifying CjPhoX Disulfide Bonds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To identify the cysteine residues of CjPhoX linked by disulfide bonds, a set of recombinant plasmids was constructed from pMA1 carrying the cjphoX gene with its own promoter. The Cys-to-Ala point mutations were generated using the Quick Change Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer's instructions, starting with 100 ng of pMA1 template and 125 ng of each primer (primer pairs: C1Afor – C1Arev, C2Afor – C2Arev, C3Afor – C3Arev, C4Afor – C4Arev, C5Afor – C5Arev). The resulting plasmids were designated pAG101-pAG105, respectively and their correct construction was confirmed by sequencing. Subsequently the plasmids pAG101-pAG105 were introduced into C. jejuni 81116 lacking cjphoX, and the resulting strains were used for the PhoX activity assays.

Recombinant Production of Mutant HP0377 Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To obtain mutated HP0377 proteins for biochemical experiments, a set of recombinant plasmids were constructed. pUWM544 [21 (link)], which carries the hp0377 gene (amino acids 25–221) without its promoter and signal sequence, was used as a starting plasmid for all constructs. Point mutations were generated using the Quick Change Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions, starting with pUWM544 as a template. Correct construction of the plasmids was verified by sequencing. Next, the hp0377-modified nucleotide sequences from pUWM544-derived recombinant plasmids were inserted into pET28a. All plasmids carried the HP0377-His6 translation fusion. HP0377 and its mutated forms were overexpressed by autoinduction from an E. coli Rosetta strain and purified using NGC Medium-Pressure Chromatography Systems by Bio-Rad as previously described [21 (link)]. HP1227 was overexpressed by IPTG induction and purified from an E. coli Rosetta strain as previously described [21 (link)]. EcDsbC E. coli protein was overexpressed from E.coli BL21harboring pET28a/EcDsbC using autoinduction [30 (link)].

Point mutations (see Table 1) were introduced into the infectious molecular clone of wild-type H-1PV (pH1) [24 (link)] using the Quick Change Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) to generate pH1-PMI, pH1-PMII, and pH1-PMIII. Specific PCR amplifications were performed in 50 µL reaction buffer containing 50 ng of pH1 template plasmid DNA, 125 ng of each forward and reverse primer (GATC Biotech, Konstanz, Germany), 200 µM of each dNTP, and 2.5 units of high fidelity DNA polymerase (PfuUltra HF, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The PCR cycles were performed as following: 95 °C for 55 s for initial denaturation; 12 cycles of 95 °C for 30 s and 55 °C for 60 s for annealing; and 68 °C for 8 min for extension. To generate the double mutant, the PMI primers were used to introduce the PMI mutation into pH1-PMII. All constructs were verified by sequencing (GATC Biotech, Konstanz, Germany).

To further assess the possible binding activation of the MRE motifs in HsMT1 and HsMT2 promoters with HsMTF-like, series of recombinant plasmids were constructed and employed as follows. Six kinds of recombinant plasmids, which included wild-type HsMT1 and HsMT2 promoter-luciferase reporter vectors (referred to pMT1-1121 and pMT2-1121), HsMTs promoter-luciferase reporter vectors with mutated MREs (named as pMT1-1121-MREmut, pMT2-1121-MREamut, pMT2-1121-MREbmut and pMT2-1121-MREabmut), and an eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA-HsMTFlike were prepared.
The whole HsMTF-like ORF cDNA sequence was digested with the restriction enzymes Nhe I and Hind Ш, and inserted into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1 at the same sites. Positive clones containing the pcDNA3.1-HsMTF-like were subjected to sequence confirmation.
In order to construct the plasmid of pMT1-1121-MREmut, pMT2-1121-MREamut, pMT2-1121-MREbmut and pMT2-1121-MREabmut, MRE motifs were mutated by fusion PCR with a pair of complementary primers containing the desired nucleotides. The mutations were generated using a QuickChange Site-Directed Mutagenesis kit (Qiagen) and the primers used for mutagenesis were listed in Table 1. Finally, the obtained PCR fragments were inserted into pGL3-Basic vector and verified by DNA sequencing at Sangon Biotech (Shanghai, China).

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.
