This article describes the construction of a set of versatile expression vectors based on the In-Fusion cloning enzyme and their use for high-throughput cloning and expression screening. Modifications to commonly used vectors rendering them compatible with In-Fusion has produced a ligation-independent cloning system that is (1) insert sequence independent (2) capable of cloning large PCR fragments (3) efficient over a wide (20-fold) insert concentration range and (4) applicable to expression in multiple hosts. The system enables the precise engineering of (His(6)-) tagged constructs with no undesirable vector or restriction-site-derived amino acids added to the expressed protein. The use of a multiple host-enabled vector allows rapid screening in both E. coli and eukaryotic hosts (HEK293T cells and insect cell hosts, e.g. Sf9 cells). These high-throughput screening activities have prompted the development and validation of automated protocols for transfection of mammalian cells and Ni-NTA protein purification.

The main aim of this study is to address the global health crisis posed by tuberculosis (TB) through the exploration of novel therapeutic strategies targeting Mycobacterial phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase (MtPrsA), an untried enzyme involved in essential metabolic pathways of . This enzyme plays a crucial role in cell wall synthesis, nucleotide biosynthesis and amino acid synthesis in Any hindrance to these may affect the growth and survival of the organism. Phytochemicals were systematically screened for potential inhibitors to MtPrsA.

Here, we introduce the highly versatile circular polymerase chain reaction (CiPCR) technique, propose a mechanism of action, and describe a number of examples demonstrating the versatility of this technique. CiPCR takes place between two fragments of dsDNA with two homologous regions, as long as one of the fragments carries said regions at its 3'- and 5'-ends. Upon hybridization, elongation by a polymerase occurs from all 3'-ends continuously until a 5'-end is reached, leading to stable circular dsDNA with staggered nicks.

Transgenic expression of proteins in plants is central to research and biotechnology, and, often, it is desirable to obtain this expression without altering the nuclear or plastid genomes. Thus, expression vectors based on plant viruses that infect multiple cells are useful; furthermore, they are also advantageous for studies of the life cycle of the virus itself. Here, we report the development of an expression vector based on a (TVCV), a tobamovirus known to easily infect two model plants, , and .

Molecular cloning is used in a wide variety of biological and medical research. Here, we developed a rapid and efficient DNA-assembling method for routine laboratory work. We discovered that the cleavage speed of T5 exonuclease is approximately 3 nt/min at 0°C and hence developed a T5 exonuclease-mediated low-temperature sequence- and ligation-independent cloning method (TLTC).
