Rapid dna ligation kit

Manufactured by Roche
Sourced in Switzerland, United States

The Rapid DNA Ligation Kit is a laboratory tool designed for the efficient ligation of DNA fragments. It facilitates the joining of DNA segments by catalyzing the formation of phosphodiester bonds between the 3' hydroxyl and 5' phosphate ends of the DNA, enabling the assembly of recombinant DNA molecules.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pGL3-DR5 plasmid was a gift from Dr. Hong-Gang Wang (Penn State, Hershey, PA; ref. 16 (link)). This plasmid contained a DR5 5’ flanking sequence (−552 to −7) with a CHOP binding region and mutant NF-kB region (Supplementary Fig. S1). The DR5 5’ flanking sequence was subcloned into the pGL4.21 plasmid (Promega) upstream of the luciferase reporter using a Rapid DNA Ligation Kit (Roche). DH5α containing the DR5-Luc plasmid were expanded under ampicillin selection followed by DNA extraction using QIAprep Miniprep Kit (Qiagen). Insertion of the DR5 sequence was confirmed using an E-Gel following restriction digestion with Sac1 and Xho1. Selected clones were expanded in LB Broth under ampicillin selection followed by DNA extraction using a Qiagen Maxi Prep Kit. U251 cells were transfected with the DR5-Luc plasmid using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen), and grown under puromycin (2 μg/mL) selection. Single clones were selected and expanded using DMEM supplemented with Puromycin (1 μg/mL). U251 DR5-Luc clones were probed for luciferase expression following Nelfinavir treatment, leading to identification of a single positive clone. Dose-dependent expression of DR5 and Luciferase in this clone was confirmed via Western Blot analysis and bio-luminescent imaging (IVIS Spectrum; PerkinElmer).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For cDNA synthesis, 1.0 µg of total RNA was reverse-transcribed with a PrimeScript 1st Strand cDNA synthesis Kit (TaKaRa Bio) in a total volume of 10 µL using oligo(dT) primers. cDNA samples were then diluted fivefold prior to use. PCR was performed using Ex Taq DNA polymerase (TaKaRa Bio) according to the manufacturer's protocol. For sequence analysis of the CLCN1 (5–7) minigene, PCR was carried out using the following primer set: forward (5′-CATGGTCCTGCTGGAGTTCGTG-3′) and reverse (5′-CTCCAAGTGGTGTCCCAAAACAAC-3′). PCR conditions were as follows: an initial denaturation step at 96 °C for 2 min, 30 cycles at 96 °C for 30 s, 62 °C for 30 s and 72 °C for 30 s, and a final extension step of 72 °C for 5 min. PCR products were then separated via 8% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and soaked in ethidium bromide solution (1 µg/ml); then the relevant bands were extracted from the gel. The spliced gel was shaken in solution buffer (0.5 M ammonium acetate and 1 mM EDTA in sterilised water) for 48 h, after which the products were washed in isopropyl alcohol followed by ethanol precipitation. Precipitates were then dissolved in a volume of 5 µL sterilised water. The purified DNA fragment was inserted into a pGEM-TEasy vector (Promega) using a Rapid DNA Ligation Kit (Roche) and sequenced to confirm proper insertion.

The pRSF-Duet1 plasmid and the second his-NBD-TMD-his fragment were both sequentially digested by first NcoI restriction enzyme (New-England Biolabs) and by EcoRI restriction enzyme (New-England Biolabs) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Next, the fragment and the plasmid were ligated using Rapid DNA ligation kit (Roche). The ligation reaction was used to transform XL10Gold competent bacteria (Invitrogen). Positive clones were selected by restriction digest and verified by sequencing.

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.
