Short Description of Librarv:
The mRNA was isolated from roots of 8-day-old ‘Bragg’ seedlings that were
mock-infected 72 hours prior to harvest. Dr. Gary Stacey generously donated the tissue.
The roots were flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen.
Stratagene’s cDNA Synthesis Kit (catalog number 200401) was used to
synthesize the cDNA. First-strand synthesis was performed with 5-methyl dCTP, hence
the ligated cDNA was hemimethylated. A modification of Stratagene’s first-strand
synthesis primer was used. An “anchor” nucleotide (V=A, C, or G) was added to the 3’
end of the primer [GAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAACTAGTCTCGAG(T)18V] to
anchor the primer at the 5’ end of the poly(A) tract. After second-strand synthesis, the
cDNA ends were filled in with cloned Pfu DNA, ligated to EcoRI adapters and
subsequently phosphorylated. The cDNA was then precipitated and redissolved in sterile,
RNase-, DNase-free water. The XhoI site within the first-strand synthesis primer was then
restricted by digestion with XhoI from Promega (40U/ul); all XhoI sites in the cDNA
would be protected by their hemimethylated status. The cDNA constructs were sizefractionated with a 500 bp cutoff, using Sephacryl S-500 High Resolution (Pharmacia
Biotech) in a 2-mm diameter column and a bed volume of approximately 1 mL. The
column eluent was precipitated, redissolved, and ligated into Stratagene’s pBluescript II
XR Predigested vector (pBluescript II SK(+) vector that has been digested with EcoRI
and XhoI, and phosphorylated by Stratagene).
