Quantitative gene expression analysis in moss

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine gene expression in juvenile vs. adult, respectively Gd vs. Re adult apices, RNA was extracted as described above. cDNA synthesis was performed using the Superscript III (SSIII) kit (ThermoFisher Scientific) according to the manufacturers` protocol but using ½ of the SSIII amount. Primers were designed manually with an annealing temperature +/− 60°C and a product length of ca. 300 bp. Single genomic locus binding properties were tested by using BLAST against the V3.3 genome of P. patens. Real-time PCR was performed using 5 ng of cDNA as input for PCR reaction with OneTaq from New England Biolabs). PCR products were visualized via gel electrophoresis using peqGREEN from (VWR, Germany). As size standard, the 100 bp ladder (NEB) was used. Real-time qPCR was carried out with two (for juvenile vs. adult comparison) or three (expression determination of ccdc39) biological replicates as published in Hiss et al., 2017 (link). As reference gene, act5 (Pp3c10_17070V3.1, (Le Bail et al., 2013 (link)) was chosen, due to homogenous expression in juvenile and adult apices in Gd and Re (Fig. S2). For primer sequences see Table S1.

Following the PCR, samples were tested for amplification success by gel electrophoresis using a 2% agarose gel (Sigma-Aldrich; A6877) in TAE buffer (AppliChem GmbH; A1691) at 4 °C. With a volume of 100 ml, the gel contained 4 µL of the dye peqGreen (VWR International GmbH; 37–500). For the loading of the agarose gel, 5 µL of the unpurified PCR product was mixed with 1 µL of 6× DNA Loading Dye (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.; R0611). The molecular weight marker used was composed of 1 µL Gene Ruler Low Range DNA Ladder (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.; SM1191), 1 µL 6 × TriTrack DNA Loading Dye (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.; R1161) and 4 µL nuclease-free water. Electrophoresis ran at a constant voltage of 100 V for 90–120 min (depending on the volume of the gel). The gel electrophoresis results were documented using the Quantum CX5 gel documentation system from Vilber Lourmat Deutschland GmbH (Eberhardzell, Germany) and the related BioVision software.

The DNA origami structures were folded with 10-fold excess of oligonucleotide strands and a 100-fold excess of pyrene-modified oligonucleotides in comparison to the scaffold in 1× FOB buffer. Details of the folding program are found in ref. 33 (link) After folding, 1× Blue Juice gel loading buffer was added to the folded DNA origami which was then purified via agarose-gel electrophoresis with 1.5% agarose gel in 50 mL of FOB buffer at 80 V for 1.5 h with 2 µL peqGREEN (ordered from VWR) per 100 µL buffer. The specific band for the nanostructure was extracted from the gel. Before putting the purified DNA origami solution onto graphene, the concentration was adjusted with FOB buffer to 75 pM.

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.
