Publication protocol
The Sulfolobus overexpression vector pSeSD1 (modified from reference 17) was digested with NdeI and SalI (Promega, Madison, WI) at 37°C for 1 h. The linearized vector was dephosphorylated with calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase (CIAP; Promega) at 37°C for 1 h. The vector was purified using phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol (25:24:1) extraction followed by ethanol precipitation. The ORF c92 was PCR amplified from STIV-TOPO (6, 24) using iProof high-fidelity polymerase (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) under standard conditions. The primers were designed to introduce an NdeI restriction endonuclease site on the 5′ end, a FLAG tag, and a SalI restriction endonuclease site on the 3′ end of the gene. The PCR conditions were: 5× HF iProof buffer, 10 mM dNTPs, 50 pmol/μl c92-F-NdeI (5′-GACTCTAACAAAGTATTTTCATATGGTAGCAGAAATAGC-3′; the NdeI site is underlined in the primer sequence), 50pmol/μl c92-R-FLAG+SalI (5′-GCCAAGAAAAAAAAGATAGTCGACTTTATCATCATCATCCTTATAATCCTTTTGAGCGGGCTG-3′; the SalI site is underlined and the FLAG tag sequence is in italics), 1U iProof polymerase, and 1 ng/μl STIV-TOPO DNA in a total volume of 50 μl total. The cycling conditions were as follows: initial denaturation of 98°C for 1 min; 30 cycles of 98°C for 15 s, 61°C for 15 s, and 72°C for 15 s; and a final extension for 10 min at 72°C. The size of the PCR amplicon was verified using agarose gel electrophoresis, and the correct products were purified using a QIAquick PCR purification kit (Qiagen, Germantown, MD) and eluted in 30 μl double-distilled H2O (ddH2O). The purified PCR products were then digested with NdeI (Promega) and SalI (Promega) at 37°C for 1 h. The restriction digests were purified as described above with a Qiagen QIAquick PCR purification kit and eluted in 30 μl ddH2O. The PCR products and the pSeSD1 vector were ligated with T4 DNA ligase (Promega) overnight starting at 16°C and decreasing to 4°C in a water bath. The ligations were transformed into XL2-Blue Ultracompetent cells (Stratagene, Santa Clara, CA). Resulting transformants were screened using a PureYield plasmid miniprep system (Promega) to obtain plasmid DNA. The isolated plasmid DNA was restriction endonuclease mapped by digestion with NdeI and SalI and sequenced to verify the c92+FLAG construct
