Cloning and Mutagenesis of N. meningitidis Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The genes were PCR amplified from genomic DNA isolated from N. meningitidis MC58 using the appropriate primers (S2 Table). The PCR product was digested with the restriction enzymes XbaI and SalI and ligated into a identically digested pET-28b(+) vector (Novagen). The resulting plasmid pSB13 coding for a protein with a C-terminal 6xHis-tag was transformed into E. coli NiCo21 (DE3) (NEB) containing the plasmid pLysS (Novagen). The point mutation in the ATP binding motif (K72A) was created in pSB13 using site-directed mutagenesis with the primers SF177 and SF178 resulting into pSAF92. Cloning of SSBNm has been described earlier [74 (link)]. Primers SF275 and SF276 were used to amplify the vector pSAF104 using the vector pEH1 as a template to obtain the ssbNmΔ8C construct.
The sequences of all constructs were verified using appropriate sequencing primers.

N-terminally His-tagged dianthin 30 (His-dianthin) from the plant Dianthus caryophyllus L. was recombinantly expressed in E. coli NiCo21(DE3) (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, QLD, USA), purified by Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid affinity chromatography and analyzed by SDS-PAGE as described elsewhere [42 (link)]. Gypsophilin-S was isolated from the seeds of Gypsophila elegans M.Bieb. using ammonium sulfate precipitation and subsequent ion exchange chromatography. The isolation is described in detail elsewhere [29 (link)].

Functional Analysis of Arginine Kinase Mutants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For functional analysis of the residues Met70 and Met179 in rmCK, two recombinant single mutants (Met70Ala and Met179Leu) and one recombinant double mutant (Met70Ala/Met179Leu) were produced (Proteros biostructures, Martinsried, Germany). Three plasmids inducing the desired mutations were synthesized by Geneart (Regensburg, Germany): (i) HIS6-TEV-rabbitCK(1–381)-Met179Leu, (ii) HIS6-TEV-rabbitCK(1–381)-Met70Ala, and (iii) HIS6-TEV-rabbitCK(1–381)-Met70Ala/Met179Leu. Plasmids were transformed in E. coli NiCo21(DE3) obtained from New England Biolabs (Ipswich, MA, USA) for rmCK protein expression.

Protein Purification and Nuclease Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The full-length qnu and its truncated allele, Δqnu, missing the N-terminal 30% encoding the DNA-binding QN domain, were PCR amplified using the following primers: qnuR (5’-GAGGTACCTGGATTAATATAATTTTATGGTCGAGGAG-3’), and qnuF1 (5’- AGGGATCCATGAATTATAATCATACTGGTCAATATAAAAC-3’) or qnuF2 (5’- AGGGATCCATGTTACCTCATAATAATAATCTTCCTAATTT-3’), respectively. Upon cleavage with KpnI and BamHI, the amplified products were cloned at the KpnI-BamHI site of the pProEx THb vector (ThermoFisher, Pittsburgh, PA).
The recombinant plasmids were introduced into E. coli NiCo21(DE3) (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA). Bacteria were grown to the exponential phase, at which point the expression of recombinant proteins was induced with 1 mM IPTG at 30 °C for 6 h. Upon harvesting, the cells were disrupted using xTractor Buffer (Clontech). Recombinant proteins were purified using a CapturemHis-Tagged Purification Kit (Clontech). For the nuclease activity assay, 20 ng of protein was incubated with 400 ng pGEM-derived plasmid in a 20 μl reaction mixture containing 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, and 2 mM MgCl2 at 37 °C for 2 h. The samples were then electrophoresed in 1% agarose gel with ethidium bromide and analyzed under UV light.

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.
