In vitro activity was assayed for 1 h at 30°C in 50 mM Tris pH 8, 150 mM ammonium acetate, 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), 2 mM MgCl2, 10% v/v glycerol. Bulk tRNAs (100 μM) were incubated with 5 μM of protein in a total volume of 50 μl and reaction was started with addition of 2 mM NADPH. Quenching was performed by adding 50 μl of acidic phenol (Sigma Aldrich) followed by centrifugation at 13 000 rpm for 10 min. tRNA in the aqueous phase were ethanol precipitated and further purified using a MicroSpin G-25 column (GE-healthcare). Dihydrouridine quantification was carried out by means of a colorimetric method as described previously (18 (link)). Briefly, samples were incubated at 40°C for 30 min after addition of 5 μl of 1 M KOH. The solutions were neutralized with 25 μl of 96% H2SO4 followed by 25 μl of a 3% solution 2,3-butanedione monoxime (Sigma Aldrich) and 25 μl of a saturated solution in N-Phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (Sigma-Aldrich). Samples were then heated at 95°C for 10 min and cooled to 55°C. Following addition of 50 μl of 1 mM FeCl3, a violet-red coloration appeared allowing quantification via absorption at 550 nm. Concentration of D in tRNA was determined by using a standard curve obtained with variable amounts of dihydrouracil.

For polymerization reactions, cells were incubated in a mixture of polymer precursor solutions and hydrogen peroxide solution for 30 min unless specified and washed three times in Tyrode’s solution. All solutions were prepared fresh each time. Aniline dimer solution (3 mM) was prepared by dissolving 5.5 mg of N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (Sigma-Aldrich, 241393) in 10 ml of Tyrode’s solution ~20 hours at room temperature using a magnetic stir bar. DAB solution (10 mM) was prepared by dissolving 36 mg of 3,3′-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride hydrate (Sigma-Aldrich, D5637) in 10 ml of Tyrode’s solution. The pH of the solution was adjusted to 7.35 by 1 M NaOH solution. When ready to perform the reactions, the above solutions were filtered with 0.45 μm syringe filters (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and H2O2 (EMD Millipore, 386790) was added to the solutions for a final concentration of 0.05 mM unless specified.

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.
