PCR with primers for hkg (16S rRNA, dnaK, gltA, and glnII) and sym (nodA, nodC, nodD, nodX and nifH) genes were performed in a 30 µl reaction mixture, containing 10 ng template DNA, 10 pM of each primer, 1× buffer for Taq polymerase (Evrogen, Moscow, Russia), 4.5 nM of each dNTP (Helicon, Moscow, Russia) and one unit of Taq polymerase (Evrogen, Moscow, Russia). PCR reactions were performed on a T-100 thermal cycler (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, United States) with an initial denaturation at 95 °C for 3 min, 35 cycles of denaturation (30 s at 94 °C) and annealing (30 s at 50–62 °C), an extension of 1 min at 72 °C, and a final extension at 72 °C for 3 min. Primers and their annealing temperatures are listed in Table 1. PCR products were cleaned of residual enzyme and primers using a silica binding-based protocol [24 (link)]. All amplicons were directly sequenced on an ABI PRISM 3500xL Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems, Waltham, MA, United States) at the Centre for Collective Use of Scientific Equipment’s “Genomic Technologies, Proteomics and Cell Biology” in ARRIAM.

Example 3

Comparison of SD DNA Polymerase with Taq DNA Polymerase in Long PCR

Example 3 illustrates a high efficiency of SD polymerase in PCR amplification. SD polymerase was compared with Taq polymerases from different suppliers like GoTaq polymerase and GoTaq buffer from Promega; MyTaq polymerase and MyTaq buffer from Bioline; and Taq polymerase and Encyclo buffer from Evrogen

An 8 kb fragment of λ DNA was amplified with 2.5, 5, 10 and 15 units of SD or Taq DNA polymerase. Reaction mixture (50 μl) contained: 5 ng λ DNA as template, 0.25 mM dNTP (each), 10 pmol (0.2 μM) of each primer, 1×PCR buffer, and 3 mM MgCl2.

PCR was carried out for 25 cycles: preheating for 2 min at 92° C.; cycling for 30 sec at 92° C., 30 sec at 60° C. and 2 min 40 sec (20 sec/kb) at 68° C.

FIG. 2 demonstrates that SD polymerase provides much higher efficiency of PCR then Taq. This result can be explained by displacement activity of SD polymerase, which solves problems with secondary structures of DNA templates.

Total RNA was isolated from hiBC line No3 on the fourth passage and from primary BCs on the second passage using the RNeasy kit (QIAGEN, Netherlands). cDNA was synthesized from 500 ng of total RNA using MMLV Reverse Transcriptase (Evrogen, Russia) and a mix of oligo (dT) and random primers, according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The housekeeping gene B2M was used as a positive control for the reaction. Then, 2 μL of cDNA was added to each 25 μL end-point PCR. PCR was performed using the gene-specific primers (Table 2), Taq polymerase (Evrogen, Russia), and the ProFlex PCR System (Applied Biosystems, USA). The cycling parameters were as follows: 95°C for 5 min, followed by 40 cycles of 20 s at 95°C, 5 s at 58°C, and 5 s at 72°C. The DNA electrophoresis of PCR products was performed in a 2% agarose gel and TBE buffer using Gel Loading Dye Blue (Evrogen, Russia) and a 100-bp + DNA ladder (Evrogen, Russia).

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.
