Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The construction of the fusion protein PH(1-110)GFP (Figure 1A) was designed and previously published by our laboratory (23 (link)). Briefly, the expression vector pFastbacTM1 of the Bac-to-Bac® baculovirus expression system (Thermo Fisher, USA, cat. no. 10359-016) was used for cloning. The 1-110 aa N-terminal coding sequence of polyhedrin (PH(1-110)) was cloned under the polyhedrin (POLH) promoter. The green fluorescent protein (GFP) sequence (GenBank: AAB08058.1) was ligated at the 3’ end of the PH(1-110) sequence. For amplification and titration of the viruses, the manufacturer’s recommendations were followed.
The GFP coding sequence was cloned in open reading frame into the pET-28a(+) vector (Sigma-Aldrich, USA cat. no. 70777) for expression in a bacterial system. The construct added an N-terminal His-tagged and the Kanamycin resistance gene. The same procedure was performed to clone the PH(1-110) sequence into the pET-28a(+) vector (Sigma-Aldrich, USA cat. no. 70777).

Plasmid construction for Par-1 and LacZ expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plasmids pIB-3×Myc and pIB-3×Flag were generated using a pIB vector (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Vectors to express Flag-Par-1 were generated by inserting Par-1 cDNAs into pIB-3×Flag using NEBuilder HiFi DNA Assembly Master Mix (New England Biolabs). A DNA fragment encoding β-galactosidase was PCR-amplified from pMT/V5-His/lacZ (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and cloned into the PCR amplified pIB-3×Flag vector. Then, the expression vector of F-LacZ was generated using NEBuilder HiFi DNA Assembly Master Mix. Vectors for expressing the Papi-Flag mutants (S157A, S547A, S565A, ΔMLS, S547D, S547E, 1-222, and 1-480) were generated by inverse PCR, using RNAi-resistant Papi-Flag14 (link) as the template. A DNA fragment encoding Papi-Flag WT and 1-480 were PCR-amplified from pIB-Papi-3×Flag and pIB-Papi-1-480-3×Flag respectively and cloned into the PCR amplified pET-28a(+) vector (Sigma) Then, the vectors of Papi-F WT and 1-480 for TnT® was generated using NEBuilder HiFi DNA Assembly Master Mix. The PCR primers used are summarized in Supplementary Table S1.

Type I–F Cascade (from Pseudomonas aeruginosa) E. coli expression plasmids were obtained from Addgene (pCsy_complex, 89232). Type I–Fv (from Shewanella putrefaciens) Cas7fv, Cas5fv, Cas6fv cassettes were cloned into the pET28a vector (Sigma-Aldrich, 69864-3CN) as a polycistronic operon and include an N-terminal His-tagged Cas7fv fusion (pET28-type I–Fv). The crRNA sequence was cloned into pACYC184 (NEB, X06403) for bacterial expression. Condon-optimized Cas subunits were sub-cloned into px601 (Addgene, #61591) (replacing the SaCas9 gene) for transfection into mammalian cells. A site for spacer cloning flanked by two Csy4 direct repeats (DR) or Cas6f direct repeats was ligated into lentiGuide-Puro (addgene #52963) between BsmBI and EcoRI restriction sites to generate pLenti-crRNA-IF or pLenti-crRNA-IFv vectors. Oligos containing spacer sequences were annealed and ligated into pLenti-crRNA-IF or pLenti-crRNA-IFv for crRNA expression in mammalian cells. For spacer mutant crRNA cloning, oligos with various of mutant spacer were annealed and ligated into pLenti-crRNA-IF. Sequences are listed in Supplementary Data 1–4. Sequences of plasmids for expression of PaeCascade-VPR, including pCsy1-Csy2, pCsy3-VPR-Csy4, and pCsy-crRNA-EV, are listed in Supplementary Data 5.

Recombinant BbiTRAP-1 Protein Production

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For ease of expression, predicted transmembrane regions of high hydrophobicity of BbiTRAP-1 were identi ed using the TMHMM Server v.2.0 (www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/TMHMM) and removed from the nal sequence. Therefore, a truncated DNA fragment of 1875bp coding for 625 amino acids (corresponding to amino acids 320 to 944) was commercially synthesized (GenScript, USA) and cloned between the EcoRI and BamHI sites in the pET-28a vector (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany) along with an in-frame 6X Histidine tag for further protein puri cation. The plasmid map can be accessed in https://www.addgene.org/vector-database/2565/.
The BbiTRAP-1-pET28a construct was used to transform chemically competent E. coli Rosetta (DE3) BL21 strain (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Maximal expression of the protein was obtained after induction with 1 mM isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) at 20 °C overnight. Protein puri cation was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions (ProBond™ Puri cation System, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) for puri cation of poly Histidine-containing recombinant proteins. The puri ed BbiTRAP-1 protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and the protein identity was con rmed by Western blot using an anti-His tag commercial antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, USA). The protein concentration was measured using the Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Scienti c, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To produce the His-tagged recombinant proteins His-Celf3, the corresponding cDNA was subcloned into the BamHI/SalI sites of the pET-28a vector (Millipore). The recombinant protein was produced in E. coli BL21 (DE3) and purified with TALON resin (Clontech). For immunization, His-Celf3 (10–50 μg) was mixed with the adjuvant TiterMax Gold (TiterMax) to produce antigen-adjuvant emulsions (100 μL/mouse) and injected intraperitoneally into four BALB/c female mice (8 weeks old at the first injection) every 2 weeks. The lymphocytes from the immunized mice were fused with myeloma P3U1 cells in a ratio of 3:1 to 5:1 by mixing in 50% polyethylene glycol (Roche). The fused cells were dispersed into 80 mL GIT medium (Wako, Japan) supplemented with 1 ng/mL IL-6 (PeproTech) and 1 × HAT (Kohjin-Bio). The cells were seeded into four 96-well plates at 0.2 mL/well and grown for 10 days at 37 °C. The first screening was carried out by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with 50 ng/well of His-Celf3 (37 positive clones were obtained), and the clones were subsequently screened with Western blot, immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation analyses. As a result, clone 1E7 was selected as the anti-Celf3 monoclonal antibody for use in this study. Antiserum against Celf3 was prepared at the fusion step.

Full-length ferritin heavy chain and light chain cDNA was cloned into pET-21a (+) and pET-28a (+) vectors (Millipore), respectively. pET-21 ferritin heavy chain construct and pET-28 ferritin light chain construct were transformed into BL21-CodonPlus (DE3)-RILP Competent Cells (Agilent) sequentially. For protein expression, positive transformants were grown in LB medium with carbenicillin and kanamycin overnight. The saturated culture was diluted in the following day to obtain an exponential-phase culture, to which 1.0 mM IPTG was added to induce ferritin expression for 2.5 hours at 37°C. Cells were pelleted and sonicated, and supernatant was heated at 70°C for 15 mins. Ferritin was isolated from the supernatant by centrifugation. Ferritin was purified by fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) using a HiPrep 26/60 Sephacryl S-300 HR gel filtration column (Sigms) filled with 50 mM Tris pH=7.5, 50 mM NaCl buffer followed by a HiTrap Q HP ion exchange column filled with 50 mM Tris pH 7.5 buffer with a 50–300 mM NaCl gradient. Purified protein was dialyzed to the buffer containing 50 mM Tris pH 7.5 and 50 mM NaCl for storage.

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.
