In expression vectors, ‘His’ before the name of proteins indicates that hexahistidine tags were fused to the N-terminus of the expressed proteins.

In vitro T7 RNA Polymerase-transcribed 968 nucleotide (nt) DvSnf7 RNA (IVT DvSnf7 RNA) was used to treat soil samples and serve as the reference standard for the QuantiGene 2.0 microplate assay [24] (link). This 968-nt transcript is produced in transgenic maize containing a DvSnf7 suppression cassette and was determined by cDNA sequencing to include a 240-nt inverted repeat region and adjacent 5′- and 3′ sequences. The 968-nt DvSnf7 fragment was amplified by PCR from the original plant transformation vector and cloned downstream of a synthetic T7 promoter sequence (TAATACGACTCACTATAGGG) in pUC19 plasmid. The identity of the recombinant pUC plasmid template used to produce the IVT DvSnf7 RNA was verified by DNA sequencing. For IVT RNA synthesis, the pUC plasmid was linearized by BglII restriction digestion and incubated with nucleoside triphosphates (8 mM each, Sigma) and T7 RNA Polymerase in transcription buffer overnight at 37°C. The reaction was then treated with DNase I (100 units per 1 mL, Ambion) and extracted with phenol∶chloroform (1∶1 volume∶volume). The size of the IVT DvSnf7 RNA was confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis and its concentration was determined using a NanoDrop 8000 (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, DE) according to the manufacturer's instruction. Aliquots of the IVT DvSnf7 RNA sample were stored in a −80°C freezer.

PCR conditions were as follows: 3 min of initial denaturation at 94°C, followed by 36 cycles of 30-s denaturation at 94°C, 30-s annealing at 60°C, and 60-s elongation at 72°C. Final elongation was performed for 7 min at 72°C. Enzymatic digestion was performed with StyI (10 U/μl) (New England Biolabs, R0500S).

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.
