RNA was prepared from confluent tilapia lip OmL cultures using Trizol (ThermoFisher). cDNA was synthesized from it using a New England BioLabs (Beverly, MA) AMV First Strand cDNA Synthesis kit and, with primers given in S2 Table, used as a template for PCR amplification of the full length coding regions of Tgm1A and Tgm1B. The PCR products were cloned into pCDNA3.1 using a Gibson Assembly kit from New England BioLabs. Constructs were verified by sequencing of the 5’ and 3’ ends. A 3X FLAG epitope, encoding the peptide sequence DYKDHDGDYKDHDDYKDDDDK, was added at the 3’ end of the Tgm1 sequences by cloning double stranded oligonucleotides with appropriate overhangs into the XhoI and Asp718 sites of the cDNA constructs. Constructs with deletion of the 5 amino acids in the cysteine cluster (CPCCC) or their replacement by AIAAA (with an MscI restriction site introduced for screening) were prepared using the New England BioLabs Q5 Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit (primers given in S3 Table). HEK293FT cells (Invitrogen) were transfected with the cDNAs using Lipofectamine 2000 (Thermo-Fisher).

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.
