Bp recombination reaction

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The BP recombination reaction is a molecular cloning technique used for the insertion of DNA sequences into a vector. It enables the rapid and efficient transfer of DNA fragments between different plasmid or virus-based expression systems. The core function of this reaction is to facilitate the directional cloning of DNA fragments by taking advantage of site-specific recombination.

Cloning and Engineering of HDAC6 Variants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The sequence encoding human HDAC6 (NP_006035.2, UniProtKB - Q9UBN7) was used as a template for cloning all HDAC6 variants used in this report. In general, a nucleotide sequence encoding a given variant was PCR amplified with a set of desired primer pairs and inserted into the pDONR221 plasmid using the BP recombination reaction (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The identity of the resulting entry clone was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Expression plasmids were generated via LR recombination reaction between the entry clone and a required destination vector, which typically introduced a TEV-cleavable tag at the N-terminus of the HDAC6 variant to simplify purification and/or visualization of the resulting fusion. Schematic representations of constructs used in this study are shown in Supplementary Fig. S1.

Gateway Cloning and Mutagenesis of ATL Constructs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A list of expression vectors and cloning primers is displayed in SI Table 2. For all ATL pWPI expression constructs, the gateway cloning system was used as per the manufacturer’s protocol (ThermoFisher). Sequences were amplified with primers containing the ATTB recombination overhangs (SI Table 2), followed by recombination into the pDONR207 entry vector using the BP recombination reaction (invitrogen). From the entry vectors, sequences were transferred to either the pWPI-nHA or pWPI-rosa26 expression vectors using the LR recombination reaction. The pWPI-rosa26 plasmid was made by swapping the EA1 promoter for a ROSA26 eukaryotic promotor which supports significantly lower target protein expression. For site directed mutagenesis of the ATL GTPase mutants, DNA sequences were amplified using PFU Taq polymerase with primers containing the specific mutations (SI Table 2), followed by DpnI digestion of the original plasmid. Transfection of tissue culture cells was performed using TransIT-LT1 (Mirus) transfection reagent according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

Genes were then transferred by LR recombination reactions into modified pFP-C and pFP-N (BD Biosciences, Clontech, Palo Alto, CA, USA) based Destination vectors. The fusion constructs have either short (FP-(s)-CENP) or long (FP-(l)-CENP) linkers. In FP-(s)-CENP constructs, the amino acid (aa) linker between the two fused proteins is SGTSLYKKAGFENLYFQGAT, whereas in FP-(l)-CENP constructs the linker is extended to SGTSLYKKAGFGGSAGGSGSGSSGGSSGASGTGTAGGTGSGSGTGSGG.

The primer pair was designed based on the THI20 ORF (Trans-THI20, Table 2). The partial BP adaptors were used for targeted fragment amplification. The whole sequence was amplified with BP site primers, followed by inserting into the pDONR207 vector by a BP recombination reaction (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The targeted fragment was then inserted into the pK7GWIWG2(I) vector to obtain pK7GW12WG2-THI20 by an LR recombination reaction (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The resulting plasmid was confirmed by sequencing, followed by transforming into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 by electroporation.
Seeds of N. benthamiana were grown on MS agar. After 30 days, sterile leaves were immersed in a solution of A. tumefaciens strain LBA4404 with the recombinant plasmid and cultured on MS agar plates subsequently. After 3 days, the leaves were transferred to MS agar plates with 100 mg/L kanamycin.

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.
