Cloning and Transformation of SWN Gene

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The SWN gene without the stop codon was amplified by PCR and cloned into the pDONR221 vector (Invitrogen) by BP reaction according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The resulting transgene in the entry vector was sequenced to make sure that no mutation was introduced during PCR. The transgene was then transferred into the pEarlyGate 104 Gateway-compatible destination vector [78 (link)] by LR reaction, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, to make Pro35S:YFP-SWN. The construct was introduced into Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101, which was then used to transform swn-4 mutant plants using the floral dip method [79 (link)]. Transgenic plants were selected in MS agar media containing 50 μg/ml of Hygromycin B and allowed to grow in soil to maturity to yield seeds. PCR primers used in making the construct are listed in S2 Table.

Generating Diverse BiFC and BRET Constructs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To generate different BiFC-fusion constructs of AR-FL, AR-V7, and ARv567es, we PCR amplified the AR-FL, AR-V7, and ARv567es cDNAs from their respective expression construct, and cloned the PCR amplicons separately into a TA-cloning vector (Promega). Fusion constructs of AR-FL, ARv567es, and AR-V7 with either VN or VC were generated by subcloning the cDNAs from the TA-plasmids into the SalI and XhoI sites of the pBiFC-VN155 and pBiFC-VC155 vectors. The mutant BiFC-AR-V and BiFC-AR-FL constructs with mutations at the FxxLF motif (F23,27A/L26A) and/or D-box (A596T/S597T) were generated by site-directed mutagenesis by using the Q5 site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit (New England BioLabs). BRET-fusion constructs of AR-FL, AR-V7, and ARv567es were generated by subcloning the AR-FL, AR-V7, and ARv567es cDNA from the respective TA-plasmids into the BamHI and XbaI sites of the pcDNA3.1-RLuc8.6 and TurboFP635 vectors (24 (link)). The doxycycline-inducible ARv567es lentiviral construct was generated by subcloning the ARv567es cDNA from its TA-plasmid first into the pDONR221 vector (Invitrogen) and subsequently into the doxycycline-inducible pHAGE-Ind-EF1a-DEST-GH lentiviral construct by using the Gateway Cloning System (Invitrogen). All plasmids were sequence verified.

The fragment corresponding to LHCSR1 (Locus XM_024529130) was amplified from P. patens total cDNA obtained from 6-days-old plants grown on minimal medium, RNA was isolated using TRI Reagent® Protocol (T9424, Sigma-Aldrich) and cDNA was synthetized using M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase (M1302, Sigma-Aldrich) and Oligo(dT)23 (O4387, Sigma-Aldrich). Primers including attB sequences for the gateway technology (Invitrogen™) were designed to anneal 27 base pairs upstream of the ATG codon (PpLHCSR1attB1 5′-GGGGACAAGTTTGTACAAAAAAGCAGGCTCCAATCTCGAGCTTTTGCT-3′) and 107 base pairs downstream of the stop codon (PpLHCSR1attB 5′- GGGGACCACTTTGTACAAGAAAGCTGGGTCGACTGCGAATCAATCAGAA-3′). The PCR-product was first cloned in pDONR™221 Vector (12536-017, Invitrogen™) and then recombined into the pH7WG2 binary vector (Karimi et al. 2002 (link)) to make the 35S::lhcsr1 construct. The accuracy of the cloning was verified by DNA digestion and sequencing and the plasmid was transferred to Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101 (Zhang et al. 2006 (link)). A. thaliana plants were transformed by the floral dip method and transgenic plants were selected on Murashige-Skoog medium supplemented by hygromycin (25 mg L−1) and carbenicillin (100 mg L−1) (Clough and Bent 1998 (link)).

The pENTRY-AHP6 construct was then recombined into the modified pMDC plant binary vector carrying the 35S promoter through the LR reaction. For the AHP6::GUS construct, the AHP6 promoter (1877 bp) was isolated by PCR from Arabidopsis genomic DNA. This DNA fragment was inserted into the PstI/EcoRI-digested pCAMBIA vector containing β-glucuronidase (GUS) by the Gibson Assembly Cloning system (New England BioLabs). Both constructs were introduced into Arabidopsis Col-0 plants by the floral dip method.

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.
