Mutagenesis of BIM splicing regulators

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We made mutant plasmids in the context of both BIM Δ10 and Δ11 minigenes [31 (link)], using PCR mutagenesis with specific primers (sequences available upon request) and KAPA HiFi DNA polymerase (KAPA Biosystems). We generated serial deletions and staggered deletions of 10 nucleotides each in BIM E3 and upstream 106 nt intronic region, by using specific primers which contained the flanking regions of the deleted sequence. We introduced point mutations in enhancer sequences of BIM E3 using specific primers. pCGT7-empty and pCGT7-SRSF1 plasmids were gifted by Prof Javier F Cáceres from MRC Human Genetics Unit at Edinburgh, UK [65 (link)].
The pSXN plasmidwas provided by Prof Thomas A Cooper from Baylor College of Medicine, USA [64 (link)]. We annealed equimolar amounts of a pair of complementary DNA oligonucleotides containing designed test sequences and restriction overhangs by heating at 95°C for 5 min followed by gradual cooling to room temperature for 1 h. We then 5′-end phosphorylated the annealed oligonucleotides by T4 polynucleotide kinase (T4PNK; New England Biolabs) in 1x ligation buffer, and ligated the duplex into the BamHI and SalI sites in the alternative exon within pSXN13 vector.

The end-repaired RNAs were used to prepare the strand specific transcriptome, using the Small RNA Sample Preparation kit (E6160, NEB) according to the manufacturer protocol with some minor modification, including the SR Primer F3 being replaced with barcode primers. The resulting DNA and RNA libraries were used for emulsion PCR to produce the beads for sequencing on the SOLiD 5500 machine, using 75 nt mode and 75 nt + 35 nt mode for the sequencing of DNA and RNA libraries, respectively. Biological duplicates of RNA libraries of the R and S plants before Xoo infections were profiled for quality assessment.

The SSB-coated primed-M13mp18 ssDNA template used in the leading-strand replication assay was prepared by annealing a 5′-32P-labeled 30-mer (map positon 6852–6881) to M13mp18 ssDNA (New England Biolabs) in a 1:1 molar ratio in annealing buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl) at 94 °C for 4 min and then slowly cooling it to room temperature over 8 h. The annealed DNA mixture was then incubated with a 350-fold molar excess of SSB4 at 16 °C for 2 h. In exonuclease activity assays, 5′-32P-labeled 40-mers or 5′-32P-labeled 20-mers were adopted as single-strand DNA substrates, and 5′-32P-labeled 40-mers were annealed to the unlabeled single-stranded oligonucleotides Template-40 (40-mers) and Template-50 (50-mers) in a 1:1.2 molar ratio to produce radioactive blunt-dsDNA and 5′ overhanging-dsDNA substrates, respectively. In primer-extension assays, a 5′-32P-labeled 20-mer was annealed to unlabeled ssDNA Template-40 to serve as the substrate.

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.
