The sources of the chemicals were described previously [16 (link)]. Leaves from elder were harvested at Cobos de Cerrato (Palencia, Spain) in early summer. CM-Sepharose FF, Q-Sepharose FF, CM-Sepharose FF, Sepharose 6 B, and Superdex−75 HiLoad 26/60 columns were purchased from GE Healthcare (Barcelona, Spain). The acid-treated Sepharose (AT-Sepharose) was prepared as described in [66 (link)], treating the Sepharose 6 B with 0.1 N HCl at 50 °C for 3 h. The gel was then washed with water (Elix 5, Millipore) until a neutral pH was obtained, and stored in water at 4 °C until it was used. Tosyl phenylalanyl chloromethyl ketone (TPCK)-treated trypsin was purchased from Merk Life Science S.r.l. (Milan, Italy). Acetonitrile (CH3CN), formic acid (FA), and water (LC–MS grade) were from Fisher Scientific Italia (Milan, Italy). Century™-Plus RNA Markers were purchased from Fisher Scientific (Madrid, Spain). Rabbit reticulocyte lysate system (nuclease-treated) was purchased from Promega Biotech Iberica S.L. (Alcobendas, Madrid, Spain).

Assessing RNase Contamination in Enzymes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Contaminating RNase Activity in purified GT-MMLV and GT-Taq was assayed by monitoring degradation of an RNA gel ladder. The reaction solution included the test enzyme at its storage concentration (1 μL), 0.5 μL of Century-Plus RNA Marker (Thermo Fisher Scientific #AM7145), 2 μL of 10X ThermoPol Buffer (NEB #B9004), and nuclease-free water to a final volume of 20 μL. As a positive control, 1 μL of 1 pg/mL RNase A (Thermo Fisher Scientific EN0531) stock solution was added to OneTaq®. The solutions were incubated at 37°C for 30 min, at which point the reaction was quenched by the addition of an equal volume of 2X loading buffer and dye (95% formamide, 0.025% bromophenol blue, 0.025% xylene cyanol, 5 mM EDTA pH 8.0). The quenched samples were evaluated for ladder degradation by gel electrophoresis using 16 cm × 16 cm 10% polyacrylamide gels with 8 M urea. Gels were run in 1X TBE (Tris/boric acid/EDTA pH 8.0) at 14 W and 300–400 V for at least 30 min prior to loading samples and running for an additional 1.5 h. Gels were stained with ethidium bromide and scanned on the Typhoon Trio+ laser scanner (GE Healthcare) using a channel with 532 nm excitation and a 610 nm emission filter. Smearing of the ladder indicated RNase contamination. The presence of intact bands confirmed the absence of RNase in in-house produced enzymes.

The reaction solution included the test enzyme at its storage concentration (1 μl), 0.5 μl of Century-Plus RNA Marker (Thermo Fisher Scientific, #AM7145), 2 μl of 10× ThermoPol Buffer (New England Biolabs, #B9004), and nuclease-free water to a final volume of 20 μl. As a positive control, 1 μl of 1 pg/ml RNase A (Thermo Fisher Scientific, #EN0531) stock solution was added to OneTaq®. The solutions were incubated at 37 °C for 30 min, at which point the reaction was quenched by the addition of an equal volume of 2× loading buffer and dye (95% formamide, 0.025% bromphenol blue, 0.025% xylene cyanol, 5 mm EDTA, pH 8.0). The quenched samples were evaluated for ladder degradation by gel electrophoresis using 16 × 16-cm 10% polyacrylamide gels with 8 m urea.

The EGSs were tested by preincubating 5′-end-labeled aac(6’)-Ib mRNA (5 pmol) and the EGS (10 pmol) at 25°C for 30 m in a volume of 3 μl before adding this mixture to a solution containing 2.5 pmol of M1 RNA, 70 pmol of C5 protein, 20 mM HEPES-KOH (pH 8.0), 400 mM ammonium acetate, 10 mM magnesium acetate, and 5% glycerol that had been preincubated at 37°C for 15 min in a final volume of 7 μl (54 (link)). After combining both solutions the mix was incubated at 37°C for the times indicated. The reaction was stopped by the addition of 1 volume phenol-chloroform followed by ethanol precipitation. The pellet was resuspended in 10 μl DEPC-treated water, mixed with 10 μl of 2x gel loading buffer, and analyzed by 5% denaturing TBE-PAGE along with labeled RNA Century Marker or RNA Century Marker-Plus (ThermoFisher) as described before (31 (link)). Fluorescence was detected on a Storm 860 Molecular Imager (Molecular Dynamics) and the signal in each band was quantified using Image J (55 ).

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.
