Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Twenty-thousand B16 cells were plated in a 12-well plate (0.88 mL of cell suspension) and transfected with 10 nM siRNA (diluted in 120 μL of Opti-MEM containing 3 μL of Lipofectamine RNAiMAX). After 24 h, the 1 mL of transfection mix was replaced with 0.88 mL of normal growth media and, after a further 24 h, cells were again transfected with 10 nM siRNA. After 48 h, the transfection mix was removed and cells were fixed with 2% PFA for 10 min. Cells were stained with 0.1% crystal violet for 10 min, washed, air-dried, and scanned using a Fuji FLA-5100 imager.

For the human cell lines, 25,000 cells were plated in a 12-well plate and treated with DMSO, A939572 (1 uM), or with A939572 (1 uM) and oleic acid (100 uM) simultaneously over 96 hours or 120 hours as indicated. Plates were collected at time 0, 24, 72, 96 or 120 h, fixed with 4% PFA and stained with 0.1% crystal violet for 15–30 min. Then they were washed, dried and scanned with a Fuji FLA-5100 imager. Quantification of the crystal violet intensity was made using ImageJ.
For the mouse cell lines, 5,000 cells (HCmel10 or HCmel12) were plated at low density in 12-well plates and treated with A939572 or CAY10566 at indicated concentrations or DMSO for 6 days. Cells were washed with PBS, fixed in 4% formaldehyde solution and stained with 0.1% crystal violet for 30 min. Then they were washed, dried and scanned and quantified using the Odyssey SA Infrared Imaging System (LICOR Biosciences).

AtPol λ Activity Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Reactions (10 μl) contained 50 mM Tris HCl pH 7.5, 1 mM DTT, 0.2 mg/ml BSA, 2% glycerol, 10 mM MgCl2, 100 nM DNA substrate, the indicated amount of AtPol λ and dCTP, dNTPs (deoxynucleotides) or ddNTPs (dideoxynucleotides). When indicated, AtPol λ was pre-incubated with pre-immune serum or anti-AtPol λ antibody for one hour at 4 °C. After incubation at 37 °C for the indicated times, reactions were stopped by adding 20 mM EDTA, 0.6% SDS and 0.5 mg/ml proteinase K, and mixtures were incubated at 37 °C for 30 min. DNA was extracted with phenol:chloroform:isoamyl alcohol (25:24:1) and ethanol precipitated at -20 °C in the presence of 0.3 mM NaCl and 16 mg/ml glycogen. Samples were resuspended in 10 µl of 90% formamide and heated at 95 °C for 5 min. Reaction products were separated in a 12% denaturing polyacrylamide gel containing 7 M urea. Labelled DNA was visualized using FLA-5100 imager (Fujifilm) and analyzed using Multi Gauge software version 3.0 (Fujifilm).

Strains of interest were harvested at mid-exponential phase (OD 0.5), lysed directly in 1X NuPAGE LDS buffer (Novex) containing 6uM DTT, separated by NuPAGE Bis-Tris gel electrophoresis and transferred onto nitrocellulose using the iBlot system (Life Technologies). Blots were incubated with rabbit polyclonal antisera against σE or monoclonal antibody against RpoB (sc56766, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) in 5% milk in TBST. Horseradish-peroxidase conjugated secondary antibodies (Pierce) and Supersignal West Pico chemilumeniscent substrate (Pierce) were used to detect primary antibody signal. Blots were visualized on X-ray film, which was subsequently digitized on a FujiFilm FLA-5100 imager, and bands quantitated using MultiGuage V3.1 image analysis software.

Analyzing Actin mRNA Localization by RPA

This assay was conducted using Ribonuclease Protection Assay (RPA) III kit (Ambion). A 250 nt of mouse β-actin antisense RNA (actin-as-250) was radiolabeled by transcribing pTRI-Actin-Mouse vector provided by RPA kit using T7 Maxiscript Kit (Ambion) with the presence of α-32P-UTP. A 140-bp sense fragment complementary to the probe was amplified by PCR reaction using pTRI-Actin-Mouse vector as template and forward primer 5′-CGGggtaccgacggccaggtcat
cactat-3′ and reverse primer 5′-ATAAGAATGCGGCCGCcggatgtca
acgtcacactt-3′ containing a T7 promoter; 140 nt mouse β-actin sense RNA (actin-s-140) was in vitro-transcribed using T7 Maxiscript Kit (Ambion) with the presence of either ATP or N6-methyl-ATP (Trilink) and was purified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Actin-as-250 was mixed with actin-s-140-m6A or actin-s-140-A at a molecular ratio 5:1 and coprecipitated. RNA pellets were resuspended in hybridization buffer, aliquoted, and incubated for 0.5, 2 and 4 h for sense–antisense annealing and duplex formation. After incubation, unhybridized RNA were digested by RNases A and T1. RNA samples were precipitated and then separated on a 5% acrylamide denaturing gel (National diagnostics). The gel was exposed to a storage phosphor screen and scanned by FujiFilm FLA-5100 imager.

DNA substrates (20 nM) containing N7-meG or me-FAPy-G were validated in reactions (50 µL) with hAAG (2 U; NEB), hAPE1 (1 U; NEB), or E. coli Fpg (EcoFpg, 8 U; NEB). Incubations were performed at 37 °C for 8 h in NEBuffer 1 (hAAG and hAPE1) or ThermoPol Reaction Buffer (EcoFpg).

1×PNK buffer for 2 h at 37 °C. The digested RNA was labeled using
10 U T4 PNK (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and 1 ul
γ−32P-ATP (6000 Ci/mmol, 150 mCi/ml, Perkin-Elmer) and
for 1 h at 37 °C and precipitated. The RNA pellet was resuspended in 5 ul
buffer containing 25 mM NaCl, 2.5 mM ZnSO4 and 1 U nuclease P1

PEI-Cellulose TLC plate (Millipore) and developed in isobutyric acid: 0.5M
NH4OH (5:3, v/v) as first dimension and isopropanol:HCl:water
(70:15:15, v/v/v) as second dimension. After development, the plate was exposed
to a phosphor screen and scanned using a FujiFilm FLA-5100 imager.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
