Protocol tips

Upstream tips
To access a plasmid, keep the plate on dry ice to prevent thawing. Using a sterile pipette tip (20uL or 200uL one), puncture the seal above an individual well and spread a portion of the glycerol stock onto an agar plate.

Publication protocol

Epac1 knockout in 3T3-L1 cells using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas9 gene editing system.
An online design tool (http://crispr.mit.edu/) was used to identify the optimal single guide RNA (sgRNA) sequences. Two different sgRNA sequences with the highest scores were picked: Oligo 1, GTCATCTCCCTCGTGCAACGTGG, and Oligo 2, GCGGCTAGTTGGCCGATGGGTGG. These two oligonucleotides were cloned into the pLKO vector. The 3T3-L1 cells were transfected with pHAGE-EF1a-Cas9-IRES-BLAST plasmid with Lipofectamine 2000. Blasticidin was used to select cells stably expressing Cas9. Cas9-expressing 3T3-L1 cells then were transfected with Epac1-specific sgRNAs to knock out Epac1. Epac1 knockout cells were selected by puromycin and confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting.

Rap1GAP transient transfection.
pFLAG-CMV2-Rap1GAP (18) or control vector was transfected into 3T3-L1 preadipocytes by electroporation according to the manufacturer's protocol established for 3T3-L1 cells using a Neon transfection system (Invitrogen). Thirty-six hours posttransfection, the cells were starved in serum-free Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) for 4 h and treated with 007-AM at 10 μM or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) vehicle for 25 min. After rinsing with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), the cells were lysed in SDS sample buffer. Cell lysates with equal amounts of total proteins were load onto SDS-PAGE gels and subjected to immunoblotting analysis.
