  • 0,1μl reverse primer (10μM)
  • 5μl 2x Q5 Mastermix
  • 4,8μl H2O
Method:
  • Pick a colony from plate and streak in a PCR tube. Mix components and add to tube.
  • Run PCR:
  • 95°C 5:00min
  • 95°C 0:45min
  • 53°C 0:45min
  • 72°C 1:30min
  • 72°C 10:00min

  • 0,5μl restriction enzyme 1
  • 0,5μl restriction enzyme 2
  • 1μg DNA
  • fill up to 20μl with H2O

Method:

  • mix all components
  • incubate at 37°C for 2h
  • heatinactivate enzymes at 80°C for 10min or use for gel purification

    This is a modified protocol for the Wizard SV Gel and PCR CleanUp System Kit from Promega

  • Following electrophoresis, excise DNA band from gel and place gel slice in a 1,5ml microcentrifuge tube
  • Add 10μl Membrane Binding Solution per 10mg of gel slice. Vortex and incubate at 5060°C until gel slice is completely dissolved
  • Insert SV Minicolumn into Collection Tube
  • Transfer dissolved gel mixture to the Minicolumn assembly. Incubate at room temp. for 1 minute
  • Centrifuge at 16,000xg for 1 min. Discard flowthrough and reinsert Minicolumn into Collection tube
  • Add 700μl Membrane Wash Solution (ethanol added). Centrifuge at 16,000xg for 1 min
  • Discard flowthrough and reinsert Minicolumn into Collection tube
  • Repeat this step with 500μl Membrane Wash Solution. Centrifuge at 16,000xg for 5 min
  • Empty the Collection Tube and centrifuge the column assembly for 1,5 min
  • Leave the tubes open for 10 min (to let any rest of ethanol evaporate)
  • Carefully transfer the Minicolumn to a clean 1.5ml microcentrifuge tube
  • Add 30μl of NucleaseFreeWater (65°C) to the Minicolumn. Incubate at room temperature for 10 min
  • Centrifuge at 16,000xg for 1 min.
  • Incubate sample at 65°C for 5min
  • Discard Minicolumn and store DNA at 4°C or 20°C
  • 1μl 10x ligase buffer
  • 0,5μl ligase
  • 1μl ATP
  • 0,51μl linearised vector
  • 7μl insert

Method:

  • Mix all components
  • Incubate overnight at 4°C
  • Gelpurify using agarose gels
  • 200ng template
  • 1μl forward primer (2mM)
  • 1μl reverse primer (2mM)
  • 1μl Phu polymerase
  • 1μl dNTPs
  • 10μl 5x Buffer
  • to 50μl with H2O
  • Mix components
  • Run thermocycler:
  • 98°C 0:30min
  • 98°C 0:45min
  • 55°C 0:45min
  • 72°C 7:00 min
  • 72°C 1:00 min
  • 4°C inf
  • 2μl oligo 1
  • 2μl oligo 2
  • 96μl elution buffer

Method:

  • Mix all components
  • incubate for 10 minutes at 95°C
  • take tube with heat block out of heat and let it cool down to room temperature

Preparation was done using the PureYield™ Plasmid Miniprep System by Promega´

  • Pick colonies for overnight cultures in 23ml LB medium with antibiotic grow overnight
  • Spin down 1,5ml bacteria at maximum speed for 30 minutes, discard supernatant and add further 1,5ml, spin again and discard supernatant
  • Resuspend the bacteria pellet in 600μl H2O
  • Add 100 μl Cell Lysis Buffer, invert six times
  • Add 350 μl cold Neutralization Solution, mix thoroughly by inverting
  • Centrifuge 30s at maximum speed
  • Transfer supernatant to PureYield Minicolumn in collection tube
  • Centrifuge for 30 sec, discard the flow-through
  • Add 200 μl Endotoxin Removal Wash(ERB), centrifuge for 30sec, discard the flow-through.
  • Add 400 μl Column Wash Solution(CWC), centrifuge for 30sec, discard the flow-through.

  • Microscopy Setup

  • We used a Zeiss LSM 710 microscope with a Plan-Apochromat 63x/1.40 Oil DIC M27 objective. All pictures were taken with one active fluorescent channel and brightfield channel. Dronpa was observed by using a 514 nm laser (2% power) for excitation, and RFP was observed by using a 633 nm laser (2% power) for excitation
  • Dronpa Illumination

  • Illumination of dronpa was performed in vivo using a 488 nm argon laser at 50% power for off switching and a 405 nm for on switching of fluorescence. The illumination of cells was either performed using continuous illumination for 10 to 20 seconds or by performing a line scan with the illumination laser.
