S adenosylmethionine

Manufactured by New England Biolabs
Sourced in United States

S-adenosylmethionine is a naturally occurring compound that serves as a methyl group donor in various biological reactions. It is an essential cofactor for numerous enzymes involved in methylation processes, including the methylation of DNA, RNA, proteins, and other molecules. S-adenosylmethionine plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism, gene expression regulation, and other important physiological functions.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bisulfite treatment of genomic DNA was performed as previously described[33 (link)], using glycogen as carrier, and the precipitated DNA was redissolved in TE buffer, amplified by PCR and sequenced directly. The primers were designed to cover 16 CpG sites in the promoter region in NDRG2 (Figure 1A) and their sequences were (5’-3’): TTTTCGAGGGGTATAAGGAGAGTTTATTTT and CCAAAAACTCTAACTCCTAAATAAACA[34 (link)]. A positive control with in vitro methylated (IVM) DNA was prepared by mixing 2 μL NEB2 buffer, 1 μL 20 x S-adenosylmethionine (New England Biolabs, B9003S), 200 ng reference human genomic DNA and 1 µL SssI methyltransferase (New England BioLabs, M0226S) in a total of 20 μL. Samples were incubated at 37 °C overnight with occasional addition of 2 μL 20 x S-adenosylmethionine to ensure sufficient methyl-donor substrate. The following description was used for each CpG site: Unmethylated (no methylation signal); weakly methylated (methylation signal was less than or approximately equal to unmethylated signal); and strongly methylated (methylation signal was greater than unmethylated signal).

Untagged CIRBPRGG and full-length CIRBP recombinant proteins and His6-PRMT1 were equilibrated in methylation buffer containing 50 mM Na-phosphate, pH 8, 150 mM NaCl, and 2 mM Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine; 50 µM CIRBPRGG or full-length CIRBP was incubated with 7 µM His6-PRMT1 in the presence of 2 mM S-Adenosylmethionine (New England Biolabs) for 16 h at room temperature. Untagged methylated CIRBPRGG (meCIRBPRGG) and full-length CIRBP (meCIRBP) were then isolated from PRMT1 performing a second affinity purification using Ni-NTA beads, further equilibrated in the buffer of interest, and analyzed using NMR (SI Appendix).

Methylation of Fluorinated DNA Substrates

To generate pDPCTop and pDPCBot, we cloned 5′-CCTCAGCATCCGGTACCTCAGC-3′ between the EcoRI and NdeI sites of pUC.HSO (Wold et al., 1987 (link)) to generate pHY10 (Yardimci et al., 2012 (link)). We then inserted a 5-fluoro-2′-deoxycytidine (Cfluo)-modified oligonucleotide (Biosynthesis, Lewisville, TX) into either strand. pHY10 was either nicked with Nt.BbvCI and annealed/ligated to 5′-TCAGCATCCfluoGGTACC-3′ to modify the top strand, or nicked with Nb.BbvCI and annealed/ligated to 5′-TGAGGTACCfluoGGATGC-3′ to modify the bottom strand. Modified DNA was gel-purified and mixed with M.HpaII-His6 or M.HpaII-biotin-His6 in reaction buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 5 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 10 mM EDTA) supplemented with 100 μM S-adenosylmethionine (NEB, Ipswich, MA) for 12 hours at 37 °C. To make pCTRL, the plasmid containing the fluorinated cytosine on the top strand was used in an identical reaction without M.HpaII.

Methylated and unmethylated templates were used for qPCR with the 5.8S amplicon primers. To verify the extent of methylation, both methylated and unmethylated templates were incubated with the methyl sensitive restriction enzyme HpaII. Template resistance to HpaII was determined by qPCR.

Construction and Methylation of Zta Vectors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A cDNA3-based expression vector for Zta that includes a hexa-histidine tag at the amino terminus (hisZta), together with its control vector, was used [62 (link)]. The BNLF2a promoter was cloned into the pCpGL-basic expression vector using BamHI and HindIII [63 (link)]. The sequence coordinates for the BNLF2a promoter are 167029–167941 referring to the Human herpesvirus 4 type 1, complete genome NCBI Reference Sequence: NC_007605.1. The TATA box is located between 167062 and 167067. A BamHI site was introduced at the distal and a HindIII site at the promoter proximal end using gene synthesis. For each of the ZRE mutations the ZRE was mutated to CCCCTTT (distal to proximal). For DNA methylation experiments, the relevant plasmids were incubated with or without CpG methyltransferase (M.SssI) in the presence of 160 µM S-adenosylmethionine for 1 h at 37 °C as recommended by the manufacturer (New England Biolabs), then purified using a plasmid mini clean-up column (Qiagen).
The His-tagged GST-Zta expression vector was generated by cloning the coding region for Zta (aa 168–245) into the pOPINJ vector [a gift from Ray Owens (Addgene plasmid #26045)].

Methylated and unmethylated constructs were purified using a Qiagen PCR purification kit (Qiagen) and transfected into 293 T cells using lipofectamine (Invitrogen Life Technologies) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The pRL-TK (Renilla luciferase control reporter vector, Promega) was co-transfected as an internal control for transfection efficiency. Transfected cells were harvested after 24 hours and analyzed according to the manufacturer’s instructions for luciferase and Renilla activities.

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.
