The genes encoding the NmeCas9, SauCas9, CjeCas9, AcrIIC1, AcrIIC2 and AcrIIC3 were synthesized and codon-optimized for expression in E. coli. The genes encoding SpyCas9 and FnoCas9 were amplified from PX459 pSpCas9(BB)-2A-Puro (Addgene: #62988) and PX408 Francisella tularensis subsp. novicida Cas9 (Addgene: #68705), respectively, using standard PCR method. All constructs were inserted into modified pRSF-Duet-1 vector (Novagen) with the N-terminal His6-SUMO tag followed by an ubiquitin-like protease (ULP1) cleavage site. In addition, NmeCas9, AcrIIC2, and AcrIIC3 were inserted into modified pET-28a vector (Novagen) with the N-terminal His6-MBP tag; and AcrIIC3 was inserted into pGEX-6p-1 vector bearing the N-terminal GST tag. All point mutants, truncations and chimeras were prepared from the full-length constructs using PCR.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The 293T-based DYRK1A or DCAF7 KO cell line was generated by using CRISPR–Cas9 with a single guide RNA (sgRNA) 5′- GCCAAACATAAGTGACCAAC-3′ that targets exon 1 of DYRK1A and 5′-GCCAAGCGAAAGCGCTTATC-3′ that targets exon 1 of DCAF7. The plasmid vector pSpCas9(BB)-2A-Puro (PX459), which expresses Cas9 and sgRNA, was from Addgene (Plasmid #48139). Two days after transfection, cells were challenged with 2 μg/ml puromycin. The drug-resistant cells were diluted and allowed to grow into single colonies, which were subsequently examined for the loss of DYRK1A or DCAF7 expression by Western-blotting. The positive KO clones were verified by Sanger sequencing of the genomic amplicons obtained with the TA cloning kit (Life Technologies).

For the Rex1‐GFP template, the 5′ arm and 3′ arm of homologous combination sites in rat Rex1 and T2A‐GFP‐PA were inserted into the pEASY‐Blunt Simple plasmid (Transgene, CB111‐02). For sgRNA vectors, sgRNAs were designed with the CRISPR design website (http://crispor.tefor.net/) and ligated into pSpCas9n (BB)‐2A‐GFP (PX461) (Addgene, 48140) or pSpCas9(BB)‐2A‐Puro (PX459) (Addgene, 48139). For piggyBac (PB)‐SA‐RFP vector construction, an SA fragment was inserted into a PB‐RFP vector,35 which was a kind gift from Dr. Wei Li (Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China). For overexpression of Thop1, the CDS of Thop1 was inserted into a PB‐CAG‐T2A‐Puro vector (a modified PB dual promoter vector [SBI, cat. no. PB513B]) (Figure S6A). The PBase vector (SBI, PB210PA‐1) was purchased from a local agent. All primers used are listed in Table S1. To deliver vectors into rat ESCs, approximately 2 × 106 cells were electroporated with 5 μg of plasmids using an electroporator (Thermo, NEON) at 1300 V for 10 ms with 3 pulses.

The expression vector pspCas9(BB)-2A-Puro (PX459) used to generate the UPP1 CRISPR–Cas9 constructs was obtained from Addgene (Plasmid 48139). The plasmid was cut using the restriction enzyme BbsI followed by the insertion of human or mouse uridine phosphorylase 1 sgRNA sequences (Supplementary Table 4), as previously described46 (link). The human and mouse sequences were obtained from the Genome-Scale CRISPR Knock-Out (GeCKO) library. For transfection, the human or mouse PDA cells were seeded at 150,000 cells per well in a 6-well plate a day earlier. The cells were transfected with 1 μg of plasmid pSpCas9-UPP1 using Lipofectamine 3000 Reagent (Invitrogen, L3000001) according to manufacturer’s instruction. After 24 h, the selection of successfully transfected cells was commenced by culturing the cells with 0.3 mg ml−1 puromycin in DMEM. The puromycin-containing medium was replaced every two days until selection was complete, as indicated by the death and detachment of all non-transfected cells. Thereafter, the successfully transfected cell lines were expanded and clonally selected after serial dilution.

LMNA and NTRK1 Targeting Donor Constructs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the generation of the hygromycin-based donor template, 372-bp-long homology arm from LMNA and 433-bp-long homology arm NTRK1 were amplified by hES cells and cloned at the NotI-NheI (LMNA) and SalI-ApaI (NTRK1) in a plasmid previously described [8 (link)]. The frame of the plasmid was modified to allow the expression of the hygromycin gene from the LMNA gene promoter. For the generation of the puromycin based plasmid, the hygromycin marker was excised and replaced by the puromycin sequence at the AavrII-SalI sites. A new 461-bp-long homology arm was cloned at the NotI-NheI. The ETV6 and NTRK3 homology arms were amplified from hES cells and cloned into MV-PGK-Puro-TK [8 (link)] at the NotI-NheI and XhoI-AscI sites. The primers for the amplification of the homology arms are listed in Supplementary Table S2. sgRNA sequences were cloned into the dual Cas9/sgRNA expression vector pSpCas9(BB)-2A-Puro (PX459) (Addgene #48139) according to published protocol [30 (link)]. The oligos used are listed in Supplementary Table S3.

The LRP1 knockout cell line was generated by using the CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat–associated 9) system as previously described.21 (link) Candidate guide RNAs were designed using the Zhang Laboratory CRISPR Design website (http://crispr.mit.edu) to target LRP1 (Table IVA in the online-only Data Supplement). A plasmid based on gRNA_Cloning Vector (https://www.addgene.org/41824/) was used to express the guide RNA with the chosen protospacer sequence from the U6 promoter. pSpCas9(BB)-2A-Puro (PX459; https://www.addgene.org/62988/) was used to coexpress a human codon-optimized Cas9 gene with a C-terminal nuclear localization signal. HEK293T cell line was grown on 10 cm dish and assessed for efficacy with Surveyor assay. Single colonies were manually picked, dispersed, and replated individually to wells of 96-well plates. Colonies were subsequently screened by polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing to identify insertion-deletion (Indels) at the target site. Several clones had compound heterozygote deletions flanking the target site (Table IVB in the online-only Data Supplement), and 3 were chosen for expansion and differentiation along with WT clones from the same 96-well plate. Absence of LPR1 protein expression was assessed by Western blot.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Expression vector pSpCas9(BB)-2A-Puro (PX459) (Addgene no. 48139) targeting GFAT1 was generated as previously described.33 (link) Briefly, annealed oligonucleotides corresponding to the first exon of human GFAT1 (5′-CACCGCTTCAGAGACTGGAGTACAG-3′ and 5′-AAACCTGTACTCCAGTCT CTGAAGC-3′) were ligated into the BbsI restriction site in the plasmid to generate SpCas9-GFAT. H1299 or MCF7 cells were then transiently transfected with SpCas9-GFAT1 using Lipofectamine 2000 reagent (Invitrogen) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Then, 48 h post-transfection, 1 μg of mL−1 puromycin and GlcNAc (10 mM) was added to the media for the next 72 h. The clonal selection was then performed through trypsinization and resuspension of a confluent 10 cm plate of either cell line into 10 mL of the appropriate media. Five μL of the cell mixture was then plated into a 20 cm plate with 20 mL of complete media with GlcNAc (10 mM). The media was replaced every 3 days until colonies of cells were established throughout the plate. About 10 days after plating, individual colonies were isolated using PYREX Cloning Cylinders (Corning) and trypsinization. Each clone was then propagated until confluency in a 10 cm dish before further characterization.

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.
