The 3′-UTR RNA probes of MdOPT3, MxOPT3, and AtOPT3 were transcribed using the In vitro Transcription T7 Kit (Takara, Shiga, Japan; 6140). The GST-tagged RBPs were expressed using the pGEX4T-1 prokaryotic expression vector (cwbiotech, Beijing, China; CW2198) in E. coli BL21 (Transgen, Strasbourg, France; CD901-02). SPR measurements were performed using the GST Capture Kit on the Biacore X100 platform (GE Healthcare Chicago, IL, USA). RNA and RBP binding levels were tested using a Biacore Binding Analysis program (GE Healthcare) with purified RNA probes as the mobile phase, and GST-tagged RBPs as the stationary phase. Binding level is defined as the value of the binding number of the Reaction Unit given by the binding analysis program after the stable combination of the sample and the fixed phase.

Gordonia neofelifaecis (NRRL B-59395) was preserved in our laboratory (Ge et al. 2011 (link)) and cultivated in liquid LB medium (Luria–Bertani broth) at 37 °C. The strain had been originally isolated from the faeces of Neofelis nebulosa. Escherichia coli DH5α and E. coli BL21 (purchased from Transgen Biotech Co., Ltd, Beijing, China) were grown in LB broth or Super Optimal Broth (SOB, 2% peptone, 0.5% Yeast extract, 10 mM NaCl, 2.5 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 10 mM MgSO4) (Hanahan 1983 (link)) at 37 °C/200 rpm. Kanamycin (25 μg/mL) was added to the growth medium when necessary. For growing on solid medium, 2% (w/v) agar was added.

The sequence (427-1155 bp) with strong antigenicity of PoMPO was amplified using primers PoMPO-F/PoMPO-R (Table 1) and cloned into the pET32a vector to construct recombinant pET32a-PoMPO expression plasmid. E. coli BL 21 (TransGen Biotech, Beijing, China) was transformed by pET32a-PoMPO and cultured with LB medium at 37 °C. After growth to log phase (OD 600 = 0.6-0.8), the bacteria were induced with IPTG (Isopropyl β-D-Thiogalactoside, 250 µg mL-1) and incubated overnight at 16 °C. Then the recombinant protein of PoMPO (rPoMPO) was obtained by affinity chromatography using His Trap™ HP Ni-Agarose (GE healthcare China, Beijing, China) (28 (link)).
The concentration of rPoMPO was determined to be 1 mg mL-1 by using the Bradford kit (P0006C, Beyotime, Shanghai, China). BALB/c mice were immunized with 100 µg rPoMPO according to previously reported methods (29 (link)). After two boosters with a mixture of rPoMPO and incomplete Freund’s adjuvant (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA), the mouse serum was collected and purified the antibodies with protein G-agarose column (Pierce/Thermo Scientific, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA). The anti-rPoMPO Abs titer was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and then the specificity was analyzed using Western blotting and Mass spectrometry analysis (Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China).

Expression of recombinant UGT1 and UGT2 were referred to the method described by Kim et al.29 (link) Briefly, the glycosyltransferase genes from Oryza sativa (UGT1, GenBank accession no. AK121682) and S. rebaudiana (UGT2, GenBank accession no. AY345974) were codon-optimized and synthesized by GenScript (Nanjing, China). Respectively, the resulting UGT1 or UGT2 was cloned in the pET28a(+) vector and transformed into the E. coli BL21(DE3) competent cells (TransGen Biotech, Beijing, China), resulting in the recombinant E. coli BL21 (pet28a-SrUGT76G1) strain or E. coli BL21 (pet28a-OsEUGT11) strain. The recombinant strain was cultivated in 400 mL Luria–Bertani (LB) medium containing kanamycin (50 mg mL−1) in 1 L flask until the OD600 reached approximately 0.6. The protein expression was induced by the addition of IPTG 0.1 mM IPTG and cells were incubated ∼14 hours at 18 °C. The cells were collected from the medium and resuspended in the Tris–HCl buffer at pH 7.0. Subsequently, the cells were lysed by ultra-sonication in an ice-water bath. After centrifugation, the His-tagged protein in the supernatant was purified through the affinity adsorption on Ni-NTA agarose column (Invitrogen). Protein mass concentration was measured by TaKaRa Bradford Protein Assay Kit with bovine serum albumin as a reference protein.

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.
