Ligation buffer

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

Ligation buffer is a solution used in molecular biology experiments to facilitate the joining of DNA fragments through the process of ligation. It provides the necessary chemical conditions for the DNA ligase enzyme to catalyze the formation of phosphodiester bonds between the ends of DNA molecules.

All procedures were carried out using the miRCat™ microRNA Cloning Kit (IDT, Iowa, USA) protocol as basis, with the modifications described in [25 (link)]. For the enrichment of the small RNA fraction, slices were cut from a 12% denaturing (7 M Urea) polyacrylamide gel, using a miSPIKE™ (IDT, Iowa, USA), as internal size marker. Small RNA fractions were purified using Performa DTR gel filtration cartridges (EdgeBio, Gaithersburg, USA). A double ligation was carried out using 3′ and 5′ linkers from miRCatTM kit (IDT, Coralville, USA) in two steps. The 3′ preadenylated linker was coupled to the small RNA fraction in a reaction in which the mix contained 1X Reaction Buffer for T4 Ligase (Thermo Fisher Scientific) without ATP, 0.1 mg BSA (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 1 U T4 RNA ligase (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and 2.5 μM 3′ linker. 6.5 μL small RNA fraction was added and incubated at 37 °C for 2 h. The 5′ linker was coupled in a mix with 1X ligation buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 1 U T4 RNA ligase (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and 50 μM 5′ linker in presence of ATP. 7.5 μL 3′linked RNA was added to a final volume of 10 μL. The mixture was incubated for 2 h at 37 °C.

Circular ssDNA Synthesis via DNA/RNA Ligation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA-templated DNA ligation and RNA-templated DNA ligation were performed to create the circular ssDNA. Both RNA- and DNA-templated DNA ligation were performed in a volume of 20 μL containing 2 μL of T4 DNA ligase (5 U/μL; Thermo Fisher, USA), 2 μL 10 × ligation buffer (Thermo Fisher), 1 μL PEG 4000, 1 μL padlock probe (10 pmol), 1 μL RNA or DNA template (∼10 pmol) and 13 μL DEPC water (LABTOP BIO, Shanghai, China). The ssDNA or RNA-template DNA ligation reaction was incubated at 37 °C for 30 min. In the dsDNA-template DNA ligation reaction, the dsDNA and padlock probe were pre-incubated at 95 °C for 5 min before adding T4 DNA ligase. The ligation products were analyzed by 2% (w/v) agarose gel electrophoresis with GelRed staining.

Adaptors N Bam 12 (5′-GATCCTCCCTCG-3′) and N Bam 24 (5′-AGGCAACTGTGCTATCCGAGGGAG-3′) (32 (link)) were ligated to Mbo I-digested human genomic DNA. The reaction included 100 pmols of each primer, 1 μg DNA template, 3 μl ligation buffer (Fermentas) and 1,3 mM MgCl2 in a final volume of 28 μl. The sample was heated to 55°C and the temperature lowered to 4°C at the rate of 1°C/min. The sample was put on ice and 800 U of T4 DNA ligase (Fermentas) added at 4°C for a final volume of 30 μl.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the sequencing using M13 forward and reverse primers, the amplified fragment was first cloned into pTZ57R/T vector and sub-cloned into pUC19 vector. In order to sub-clone into a pUC19 vector, both the plasmids from the clones and pUC19 were double-digested with EcoRI and SalI enzymes. Both the products were purified as per the manufacturer's instructions by the partition chromatography using silica gel-based plasmid DNA purification kit (Hi-media Laboratories). A ligation reaction was set up using both vector control and vector with insert in a ratio of 3:1 using T4 DNA ligase enzyme, ligation buffer (Fermentas) according to manufacturer's instructions. The competent cells of E. coli DH5α were used for the transformation of the ligated vector. The transformation by the heat shock treatment at 50 °C for 30 s was followed by cold shock on ice for 2 min. pUC-Ve 2 -BHAP-TA clones of the amplified gene from haloalkaliphilic bacteria Ve 2 -20-9 1 were obtained. The cloning was confirmed by plasmid isolation and restriction analysis of the randomly selected transformants.

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.
