Basic DNA electrophoresis in molecular cloning: a comprehensive guide for beginners.

Methods Mol Biol

Institute of Cell Biology, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK.

Published: March 2014

Presented here is a complete molecular cloning protocol consisting of a number of separate but interconnected methods such as preparation of E. coli competent cells; in vitro DNA digestion and ligation; PCR; DNA agarose gel electrophoresis and gel extraction; and screening transformants by colony PCR, analytical restriction digests, and sequencing. The method is described in a lot of details so that it can be easily followed by those with very little relevant knowledge and skills. It also contains many tips that even experienced researchers may find useful.

Cloning, purification and characterization of a novel thermostable recombinant tannase from Galactobacillus timonensis.

Enzyme Microb Technol

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Food Science and Resources, School of Food Science and Technology, Nanchang University, Nanchang 330047, China.

The exorbitant production costs associated with natural tannases pose a significant challenge to their widespread industrial utilization. Microbial expression systems provide a cost-effective method for enzyme production. In this study, a putative gene encoding the subtype B tannase (Gt-Tan) was cloned from Galactobacillus timonensis and expressed heterologously in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells.

Yeast two-hybrid library screening enables the discovery of novel protein-protein interactions. Identifying cytosolic host proteins targeted by host-translocated Phytophthora effector proteins relies on the mRNA amount, quality, and composition used to prepare the yeast two-hybrid cDNA library. Here we describe the steps required for the preparation of a Pinus radiata cDNA library optimized for Phytophthora effector target screening in yeast.

Unlabelled: , an opportunistic and notorious nosocomial pathogen, is responsible for many infections affecting soft tissues, skin, lungs, bloodstream, and urinary tract, accounting for more than 722,000 cases annually. Despite the numerous advancements in therapeutic options, no approved vaccine is currently available for this particular bacterium. Consequently, this study focused on creating a rational vaccine design using bioinformatics tools.
