Cloning Kits and Ligation

The aim of molecular cloning is to insert the gene of interest into a plasmid vector, which is then inserted into a cell that will express the protein encoded by the gene of interest. Once the protein is expressed, the protein function can be studied as it affects cell signaling, morphology, or other aspects. When considering a suitable cloning reagent, it is important to identify the cell type and culture conditions for the assay.

 
PCR cloning kit, CloneJET

PCR cloning kit, CloneJET

Supplier: Thermo Fisher Scientific

The CloneJET PCR cloning kit contains a ready-to-use positive selection cloning vector pJET1.2/blunt. The vector contains a lethal restriction enzyme gene that is disrupted by ligation of a DNA insert into the cloning site. As a result, only bacterial cells with recombinant plasmids are able to form colonies. Recircularised pJET1.2/blunt vector molecules lacking an insert express a lethal restriction enzyme, which kills the host E. coli cell after transformation. This positive selection drastically accelerates the process of colony screening and eliminates additional costs required for blue/white selection.

Mutagenesis kits QuikChange

Mutagenesis kits QuikChange

Supplier: AGILENT

The original QuikChange Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kits speed up and simplify site-directed mutagenesis studies. The kits eliminate the need for sub-cloning into M13-based bacteriophage vectors and for ss-DNA rescue. This allows oligo-mediated introduction of site-specific mutations into virtually any double-stranded plasmid DNA. In addition, the XL version of the kit is specially designed for efficient mutagenesis of large (4 to 14 kb) or otherwise difficult-to mutagenise plasmid templates. The XL kit features components specifically designed for more efficient DNA replication and bacterial transformation.

T4 DNA ligase

T4 DNA ligase

Supplier: Thermo Fisher Scientific

This T4 DNA ligase catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond between juxtaposed 5'-phosphate and 3'-hydroxyl termini in duplex DNA or RNA. The enzyme repairs single-strand nicks in duplex DNA, RNA, or DNA/RNA hybrids. It also joins DNA fragments with either cohesive or blunt termini, but has no activity on single-stranded nucleic acids.

Gibson Assembly® Ultra, Master mixes

Gibson Assembly® Ultra, Master mixes

Supplier: SGI - DNA Synthetic Genomics

The Gibson Assembly® Ultra reaction occurs in two steps using the addition of two master mixes in two sequential steps. In the first step, the GA Ultra Master Mix A (2X) creates single-strand DNA 5’ overhangs by chewing back DNA from the 3’ end. This reaction is cooled under conditions that allow for annealing of complementary overlap regions. Next, the Gibson Assembly® Ultra Master Mix B (2X) is added. During this step, nucleotides are incorporated into the construct to fill in the gaps in the annealed DNA fragments and nicks are sealed to create a contiguous DNA construct.
