Plasmids used in this manuscript are listed in table S1. LCB constructs were generated by Gibson assembly (New England Biolabs) of fragments LexA [from pDN92 (17 (link))], CIB1 [from LITE2.0 TALE-CIB1 (19 (link))], and biLINuS [from pDN92 (17 (link))] following the manufacturers instructions. CRY2PHR-VPR constructs were generated by Gibson assembly of fragments CRY2PHR [from LITE2.0 CRY2PHR-VP64 (19 (link), 48 (link))] and VPR [from SP-dCas9-VPR (27 (link))]. DNA fragments were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using Q5 DNA polymerase (New England Biolabs). DNA oligos for PCR amplification were synthesized by Integrated DNA Technologies. PCR products were purified by the agarose gel electrophoresis method (D4001; Zymo Research). Purified DNA fragments were cloned into pCAGGS vector (for transient transfection) or pHR-PGK (for transient transfection or lentiviral infection). Light-inducible reporter constructs were generated by cloning the target gene into the pDN100 vector (with the original reporter gene removed, for transient transfection) or pHR vector (with LexA binding site and minimal promoter, for lentiviral infection) using the Gibson assembly method. Constructs were confirmed by Sanger sequencing (Genewiz).

RNA Seq Library Preparation and Sequencing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was extracted from each sample and purified using the Norgen Total RNA isolation kit and quantified using a NanoDrop Spectrophotometer ND-100 and quality control was assessed with bioanalyzer total RNA Nano kit. One μg of mRNA was fragmented to an average length of 200 bp by incubation for 5 min at 94 oC with 5X fragmentation buffer (Illumina, RS-100-0801). Efficiency of the fragmentation was defined on Bioanalyzer RNA Pico Chip. The fragmented mRNA was randomly primed and reversed transcribed using Super Script II cDNA synthesis kit (Invitrogen, 18064-014). After second-strand synthesis, the cDNA underwent end-repair and ligation reactions according to the Illumina mRNA-Seq Sample Prep Kit protocol. The cDNA library was size-fractioned on a 2% TBE agarose gel. Material in the 350–400 bp range was excised and purified (Zymo Research, D4001). Half of the eluted cDNA library was used as a template for amplification according to mRNA-Seq Sample Prep Kit protocol. The PCR product was purified using PureLink PCR micro purification kit (Invitrogen, Q32850). The library was then used to build clusters on the Illumina flow cell and analysis was done using Illumina Hiseq 2000 platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) at McMaster University to a target depth of 6 M reads per sample.

Construction of Nuclear-Targeted Fyn FRET Biosensor

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cloning of cytosolic Fyn FRET biosensor without any specific subcellular-targeting signal was described in our previous work [9 (link)], and the sequence of Fyn biosensor was provided in Supplementary Materials. The nuclear-targeting 3xNLS-Fyn biosensor was constructed by adding triple nuclear localized signal peptide ‘PKKKRKVED’ at the C-terminal of the cytosolic biosensor by using SalI site. DNA sequence for 3xNLS (3xPKKKRKVED): CCCAAGAAGAAACGCAAAGTCGAGGATCCAAAGAAGAAAAGGAAGGTTGAAGACCCCAAGAAAAAGAGGAAGGTGGATGGG. Primers for introducing the 3xNLS are provided in Supplementary Materials.
The construct NES-FynBS-LINuS was generated by Gibson assembly of fragments NES-FynBS and LINuS. The construct NES-mCherry-FynKD-LINuS was generated by Gibson assembly (New England Biolab) of fragments NES-mCherry, FynKD, and LINuS following the manufacturer’s instructions. DNA fragments were amplified by PCR using Q5 DNA polymerase (New England biolab). Construct and primer sequences are provided in Supplementary Materials. Primers were synthesized by Integrated DNA Technologies. PCR products were purified by agarose gel electrophoresis method (Zymo Research, D4001). Purified DNA fragments were cloned into pcDNA3.1 vector (digested with BamHI and EcoRI) using Gibson Assembly. All constructs were confirmed by Sanger sequencing (Genewiz).

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.
