A single colony was incubated in 5ml sterile LB medium with 100ng/ml Kanamycin in a 15 ml falcon tube at 37°C with agitation at 250 rpm overnight. Bacteria were harvested directly by centrifuging at 2500 rpm for 15min. Plasmid extraction was carried out using QIAprep Miniprep plasmid kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The eluted DNA was quantified by a nanodrop spectrophotometer and stored at -20°C until further use.

Amplifying TbCDS Flanking Regions

The 5′ and 3′ UTRs immediately adjacent to the TbCDS open reading frame were amplified from T. brucei genomic DNA using KOD polymerase. The primers 5′‐ATAAGTAAGCGGCCGCTGATTAACGCACCC‐3′ and 5′‐CGTTTAAACTTACGGACCGTCAAGCTTCTAGACGCTTTCACTGAAAAATGC‐3′ were used for the 5′ untranslated region (UTR), amplifying the expected 516 bp product and primers 5′‐TGACGGTCCGTAAGTTTAAACGGATCCTCCATGTTGGAAGGGCACG‐3′ and 5′‐AGTAAGCGGCCGCCCTTGAAAACAATGGTGTATAC‐3′ resulted in the correct 179 bp 3′ UTR product.
These amplified products were used in a knitting PCR, resulting in a 695 bp product in which the 5′ UTR was joined to the 3′ UTR via a short BamHI–HindIII linker region contained within the described primers (italics) and a NotI site (underlined) at each end. This PCR product was ligated into pGEM‐5Zf(+) (Promega) using NotI sites, and the hygromycin (HYG) or puromycin (PAC) resistance genes were ligated between the BamHI and HindIII restriction sites. Plasmid DNA was prepared using a QIAprep Miniprep Plasmid Kit (Qiagen). After digestion with NotI the DNA was precipitated with sodium acetate/ethanol and dissolved in sterile water to a final concentration of 1 μg μl−1.

Experiments were performed in E. coli DH5-α (NEB), grown in LB-Lennox (Oxoid) (10-g/L casein peptone, 5-g/L yeast extract, 5-g/L NaCl with additional 15-g/L agar for plates) supplemented with 100-µL/mL ampicillin (Sigma-Aldrich). PCR amplifications were performed using Q5 polymerase (NEB). All other necessary enzymes were also purchased from NEB. Primers were ordered from Eurofins Genomics – Sigma-Aldrich. Plasmids and PCR products were purified using the QIAprep Plasmid Miniprep Kit and QiaQuick PCR Purification Kit, respectively (Qiagen). Plasmid Sanger sequencing was performed by Eurofins Genomics. The E. coli codon-optimized sequence of mCherry was a gift from Yanina R. Sevastsyanovich (University of Birmingham).

Site-Directed Mutagenesis of ChoA Gene

Primers
were designed to incorporate each mutation into template plasmid pCO117
(a PKK223-3 derivative) containing the wild-type Streptomyces ChoA gene27 (link) via site-directed mutagenesis
PCR (Table S1). Methylated template DNA
was digested with DpnI for 1.5 h at 37 °C and
then inactivated by being heated for 20 min at 80 °C. The remaining
PCR products were transformed into XL1 Blue cells and grown overnight
at 37 °C on Luria Broth (LB)-agar (200 μg/mL ampicillin)
plates. A single colony was picked and grown in 10 mL of LB medium
(200 μg/mL ampicillin) overnight at 37 °C. Plasmids were
purified from the culture by means of a Qiagen QIAprep Plasmid Mini-Prep
Kit. Purified plasmid DNA was sequenced to verify the presence of
the desired mutation.

CRISPR Knockout with Cas9 Nickase

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CRISPR knockout experiments were performed with Cas9 nickase (Cas9n) enzymes guided by paired sgRNA sequences to mitigate off-target effects as previously described [37 (link)]. Paired sgRNA sequences targeting IL2RG on the X-chromosome were designed using the MIT CRISPR Design Tool ( crispr.mit.edu) and synthesized by Integrated DNA Technologies: Pair 1: 5’-TCTTAGTCCTTCAGCTGCTC-3’, 5’-GAGGGCAGGGTGGAGCTCCA-3’. Pair 2: 5’-TCCAGAGGTTCAGTGCTTTG-3’, 5’-TAGAGTACATGAATTGCACT-3’. SgRNA oligonucleotides were annealed and ligated into digested pSpCas9n(BB)-2A-GFP (PX461) (Addgene, Cambridge, MA) in 1 μl px461 (100 ng), 2 ul 10x Fast-Digest buffer, 1 μl each of annealed oligonucleotides (0.5 μM), Bbs1 Fast-Digest, T4 Ligase (all ThermoFisher Scientific), 14 μl ddH20 and incubated in a 37°C water bath for 2 hours and then transformed into Stbl3 bacteria by heat shock (ThermoFisher Scientific). Bacteria were selected ampicillin resistance (100 μg/ml) and harvested for plasmid (QIAprep Plasmid Miniprep kit Qiagen, Germantown, MD). Harvested plasmid was Sanger sequenced to confirm appropriate insertion.

The PCR products were purified by using QIAquick PCR Purification Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). The eluted PCR products were cloned into the pTG19 vector according to routine protocol. Then, it was transformed into E. coli DH5. The pTG19 plasmid was extracted using the QIAprep® plasmid Miniprep Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and serially diluted from cultured E. coli DH5 in LB broth containing 100 μg/ml ampicillin, 40 μg/ml X-Gal, and 40 μg/ml IPTG.

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.
