18S rRNA Nucleoside Profiling Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Seventy microgram of 18S rRNA purified on a velocity gradient, whose integrity had been checked by migration on a denaturing agarose gel, was first heated for 2 min on a heating block in an Eppendorf cup at 100°C. This was followed by rapid cooling on ice. Five microliter of 10-mM ZnS04 was next added to the cup, followed by 10-μl P1 nuclease (Sigma). Nuclease digestion was carried out at 37°C for 16 h (overnight). After 16 h, 10 μl of 0.5-M Tris buffer, pH 8.3, and 10-μl bacterial alkaline phosphatase (Sigma) were added to the cup and incubated at 37°C for 2 h. The Eppendorf cup was centrifuged at 13 000 g and the nucleoside-containing supernatant was transferred to a fresh Eppendorf cup and stored at 4°C.

Quantification of Yeast 25S rRNA Modifications

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RP-HPLC analysis as well as the mung bean nuclease protection assay were performed as described previously31 (link). Synthetic deoxyoligonucleotides complementary to the specific sequence of C633–G680 of yeast 25S rRNA were used for protection by hybridization to the rRNA. After digestion by mung bean nuclease (MBN Kit: M0250S, NEB) and 0.05 mg/ml RNase A (Sigma-Aldrich) purification of protected fragments from 8 M urea-PAGE (13%) was carried out by passive elution with 0.3 M NaAc by rotation at 4 °C overnight. Precipitation of eluted rRNA fragments was done using 100% EtOH.
Isolated fragments were digested with nuclease P1 and bacterial alkaline phosphatase (Sigma Aldrich) and subsequently the nucleosides were analyzed by RP-HPLC on a Supelcosil LC-18-S HPLC column (25 cm × 4.6 cm × 5 µm) equipped with a precolumn (4.6 cm × 20 mm) at 30 °C on an Agilent 1200 HPLC system.

Total RNA was extracted from tissue with Trizol and precipitated with isopropyl alcohol according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Total tRNA was isolated using Nucleobond RNA/DNA 80 columns (Macherey-Nagel, Düren, Germany) and precipitated with isopropyl alcohol. Total tRNA was digested to nucleosides using nuclease P1 (Sigma) and bacterial alkaline phosphatase (Sigma) and analyzed as described earlier (42 (link)). t6A was used as internal control to normalize mcm5s2U quantification.

Cloning and Mutagenesis of siRNA-Resistant DDX6

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
p3xFlag-DDX6 was created using standard molecular biology techniques. Specifically DDX6 was PCR amplified from pmRFP-DDX6 (a generous gift from Nancy Kedersha, Brigham and Women’s Hospital) and cloned into pCR2.1-Topo. DDX6 was subcloned from pCR2.1-Topo into p3xFlag-CMV 7.1 (Sigma) using the HindIII and XbaI restriction enzyme sites. We then used site-directed mutagenesis with the QuikChange XLII to create an siRNA-resistant gene of DDX6 (3xFlag-RCKΔsi). In particular six nucleotides in the siRNA binding were mutated, while maintaining the correct amino acid sequence (from gcagaaaccctatgagatt to tcagaagccttacgaaatc). These mutations were introduced with the following primers: prCTP34 (5′-CTTTCCCTCTTAGTGTACAGAAGTTCATGAATTCCCATCTTCAGAAGCCTTACGAAATCAACCTGATGGAGGAACTAAC-3′) and prCTP35 (5′-GTTAGTTCCTCCATCAGGTTGATTTCGTAAGGCTTCTGAAGATGGGAATTCATGAACTTCTGTACACTAAGAGGGAAAG-3′). p3xFlag-BAP (Bacterial Alkaline Phosphatase, Sigma) was used as a control plasmid.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The levels of 8-oxodG in MNCNT-treated cells were measured by previously described method with modification [39 (link)]. A549 cells (5 × 105 cells/ml) were treated with 1 μg/ml of MWCNT for indicated durations at 37 °C in DMEM containing 5 % (v/v) FBS and 100 mg/l kanamycin. The cells were lysed and treated with Proteinase K (Roche, Mannheim, Germany) for 1 h at 37 °C, and then sodium iodide was added. DNA was extracted and digested with nuclease P1 (Wako) and bacterial alkaline phosphatase (Sigma-Aldrich) to deoxynucleosides, and analyzed using HPLC coupled with an ECD (Coulochem II 5200A, ESA Biosciences, Chelmsford, MA, USA). The molar ratio of 8-oxodG to 2’-deoxyguanosine was measured based on ECD peak height of authentic 8-oxodG and the UV absorbance of 2’-deoxyguanosine at 254 nm.

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.
