About 20 µL in vitro glutamylation reactions were performed with 2 µM SidJ/CaM, 2.5µCi α -[32 P]ATP (Perkin Elmer) in a buffer consisting of 30 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM β-mercaptoethanol, and incubated at 37 °C for 30 min. Reactions were stopped through the addition of 5 µL of 4x SDS-PAGE sample buffer. The samples were then separated using SDS-PAGE, stained using Coomassie stain, and dried using a Model 583 gel dryer (Bio-Rad). A storage phosphor screen (GE Healthcare) was placed on the gel and exposed for 18 h, and the autoradiography signal was collected using a Typhoon FLA 7000 (GE). Raw autoradiography images of all autoAMPylation assays are available in the supplementary information file.

Telomere length assay was performed as described previously (Deng et al., 2007 (link)) with some
modifications. Briefly, genomic DNA was isolated from cells using a genomic
DNA purification kit (Promega) and digested with AluI and MboI. Digested
genomic DNA was purified by phenol/chloroform extraction and quantified
using a NanoDrop spectrophotometer (Thermal Scientific). Equal amounts of
digested DNA (5 μg) were separated by PFGE performed with a 1%
agarose gel at 6V/cm, switch times from 1 to 6 s, 14°C for 13 h using
CHEF-DRIII system (Bio-Rad). The resolved DNA was vacuum dried at
50°C for 90 minutes using a Model 583 Gel Dryer (Bio-Rad), in-gel
denatured and neutralized and analyzed by Southern blot. The blots were
hybridized with a 32P-labeled CCCTAA repeat probe at 42°C
overnight, then washed twice for 5 min each with 0.2 M wash buffer (0.2 M
Na2HPO4 pH 7.2, 1 mM EDTA, and 2% SDS) at room
temperature and once for 10 min with 0.1 M wash buffer at 42°C.
Relative telomere-repeat signals were determined by Typhoon 9410 Imager and
ImageQuant TL software (GE Healthcare). Signal intensity represents the
percentage decrease of average telomere signals relative to dox (−)
control.

Metabolic Labeling and Radioactive Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For metabolic labeling, cells were incubated in methionine/cysteine (Met/Cys)-free DMEM (Corning, 17-204-CL) supplemented with 40 mM HEPES, 2 mM L-glutamine and a 35S-L-methionine and 35S-L-cysteine mix (PerkinElmer, NEG072007MC) for 30 min prior to cell lysis. For each ml of labeling media prepared, 0.035 mCi of the 35S Met/Cys mix was added. Where inhibitors were used, inhibitors were present during labeling. After in-well lysis in Laemmli buffer, samples were resolved by SDS-PAGE and gels were then fixed in 10% acetic acid/25% methanol solution for 30 min. The fixed gels were then dried at 80°C for 2 h using a Model 583 Gel Dryer (Biorad) and exposed to audioradiography film.
To quantify the radioactivity of 35S present in the label samples, 20 μl of radiolabeled sample was incubated with 10 μl of 10 mg/ml BSA and 1 mL of ice-cold 10% TCA solution for 30 min on ice. Precipitated proteins were vacuum filtered using a 1225 Sampling Manifold (Millipore Sigma) onto glass microfiber filters (GE Life Sciences, 1822-025), and washed twice each with ice-cold 10% TCA solution and 95% ethanol. Filter counting was performed by immersing the filters into 3 mL of Complete Counting Cocktail 3a70B (Research Products International Corp., 111154). The number of counts registered per minute (CPM) was measured using a Beckman LS 6500 liquid scintillation counter with a counting time of 5 min.

The half-lives of transfected FLAG epitope-tagged circadian clock proteins (BMAL1, PER2 and CRY1) in the absence (as a control) and presence of siRNAs targeting COPS7B were measured by metabolic pulse chase protein labeling according to the protocol of Zhou et al. Briefly, 72 hr post-transfection, 100 mm plates of HEK293T cells were starved of amino acids for 1 hr and metabolically labeled for 30 min with 100 μCi of Express-35S protein-labeling mix (PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Schwerzenbach, CH) in 1 ml methionine- and cysteine-free DMEM medium supplemented with 10% dialysed FCS (‘the pulse’). Sunsequently, cells were washed to remove unbound radioactive amino acids, and incubated in complete medium (‘the chase’). At indicated time points (0, 2, 4, and 6 hr), the cells were disrupted in ice-cold RIPA lysis buffer (0.02M Tris/pH7.2, 0.15M NaCl, 1% Trion X-100, 1% Na-deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS), and 1000 μg of whole cell extract were immunoprecipitated with Monoclonal ANTI-FLAG M2 Antibody from Sigma (F3165). Proteins were subjected to 9% SDS-PAGE and the gels were dried for 2 hr at 80°C by Model 583 gel dryer (BIO-RAD, Hercules, CA). Labeled proteins were visualized by autoradiography and quantitative analysis of three independent experiments for each circadian clock protein was performed with ImageStudio software.

Addition of 2.5 µl of AvMBD proteins provided 5% glycerol per reaction. Proteins were first pre-incubated with non-radioactive DNA for 15 min at RT. Then, 32P-labeled DNA was added to a final concentration of 0.05 nM, and reactions were incubated for additional 30 min at RT. After supplying with 6× EMSA gel-loading solution (Thermo Scientific), samples were loaded onto 6% DNA Retardation gels. Samples were run at 90 V in 0.5× TBE buffer (44.5 mM Tris–HCl, pH 8.3, 44.5 mM boric acid and 1 mM EDTA) at 4 °C for 90 min. Gels were dried using Model 583 Gel Dryer (BioRad), exposed with phosphorimaging plate (Fujifilm), scanned on Typhoon FLA 7000, and analyzed using Image Quant TL v8.1 software.

Telomerase activity was measured using the TRAPeze kit (Millipore) per manufacturer's directions. To prevent interference by PCR inhibitors in the cell extracts, samples were phenol-chloroform extracted after template elongation and before PCR amplification. Products were separated on 10% SDS-PAGE gels and dried on a BioRad Model 583 gel dryer. Gels were exposed to phosphor screens (GE) overnight and imaged on a Typhoon 9410 variable mode imager (GE). Negative control samples include no cell extract, while positive controls represent a manufacturer-provided telomerase-positive cell extract.

Selected reactions were carried out in the presence or absence of heparin, and various concentrations of unlabelled ATP or GTP. Negative controls contained no TGB1 protein or 500 and 1000ng of bovine serum albumin. After incubation at 30 °C for 30min, the reactions were terminated by addition of 2.5 μl of 5× SDS buffer, and the samples were subjected to 12.5% SDS-PAGE. The gels were dried with a Model 583 Gel Dryer (Bio-Rad) and phosphorylated proteins were visualized by autoradiography.

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.
