Depositor Comments

Plasmid pJM-RMC-01 was made by swapping the relevant UTRs of EATRO1125 RAD51(Tb1125.11.8190) into pyrFEKO-PUR using restriction enzyme cloning. (pyrFEKO-PUR: Addgene plasmid # 24021; http://n2t.net/addgene:24021)
Briefly, UTRs were amplified from EATRO1125 90:13 gDNA with Phusion polymerase (NEB; 5’ UTR = F 5’-CAGCTGCGGCCGCAGGCAGTCAAAGCATGTCCA-3’ and R 5’-TCTAGAAGCTTCCCTGATATACGCGTTAAGA-3’; 3’ UTR = F 5’- GGATCCATGCATTTCCTCATCATTTGTAGAA-3’ and R 5’-CCTGCAGGCTCGAGAGTTACCTACAATTGCCTTC-3’) then ligated into pGEM-T Easy Vector (Promega) and confirmed via Sanger sequencing (Eurofins, Germany; with M13F).
Plasmid and inserts were digested with the following:
1) for the 5’UTR, PvuII-HF and HindIII-HF (both NEB)
2) for the 3’UTR, BamHI-HF and SbfI-HF (both NEB);
then ligated together, using T4 ligase and 10x buffer (Promega).
The correct insertion was confirmed by PCR and with Sanger Sequencing (5’ UTR confirmation primer: 5’-CGACCGAGCGCAGCGAGTCA-3’; 3’ UTR confirmation primer: SP6).
