The cDNA encoding p6 from the Beet Yellow Virus (BYV) was provided by Peremyslov et al. [27 (link)] and amplified using the primer pair 23/46. This fragment was cloned as an EcoRI/SpeI fragment into pGREEN-CFP, generating the pGREEN p6-CFP construct. The cDNA encoding AtGONST1 (AtGONST1) [54 (link)] was amplified from a total cDNA preparation from A. thaliana Col-0 leaves using the primer pair 24/47. This fragment was cloned as an EcoRI/SpeI fragment into pGREEN-RFP, generating the pGREEN GONST1-RFP. The cDNA fragment Venus-SYP61 was removed from the pUC18Venus-SYP61 plasmid [28 (link)] using NcoI/SalI, and then blunt-ended by Mung Bean Nuclease (Promega, Dübendorf, Switzerland) and cloned between the 35S promoter and terminator of pGREEN-35S, generating pGREEN Venus-SYP61.

2D CHEF for Resolving Large DNA Fragments

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PFGE sample plugs were prepared as described previously [8 (link)]. NotI restriction enzyme treatments of sample plugs in Supplementary Figs. S4E and S4F were described in [10 (link)]. All PFGE separations were performed with a CHEF Mapper XA system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Except for the 2D CHEF in Fig. 3, the CHEF Mapper was programmed in autoalgorithm mode, 250–1400 kb, 24 h total run time, using 1/2 X TBE (44.5mM Tris, 44.5mM boric acid, 2mM EDTA) as running buffer. Gels were stained in Sybr® Gold (Invitrogen) and images were photographed using a Kodak GelLogic 200 digital imaging system. For the 2D CHEF shown in Fig. 3, the first dimension PFGE was performed as in [10 (link)] except that the CHEF mapper was programmed in autoalgorithm mode, 250–2000 kb, 22 h. First dimension gel slices were removed and equilibrated in TE [10 (link)]. Each gel slice was digested with 180 units of mung bean nuclease (Promega Corporation, Madison, WI) in 9 ml of reaction buffer (10X buffer provided by supplier) at 37 °C for 1 h. Reactions were stopped on ice with 100mM EDTA, pH 8.0, and equilibrated in 100 ml TE (10mM Tris, pH 8.0, 1mM EDTA) before running the 2nd dimension CHEF for 22 h, 250–2000 kb autoalgorithm.

DdrC Protects DNA from Nucleases

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The ability of DdrC to protect DNA from digestion by nucleases was assessed on different DNA substrates (supercoiled and linear pBR322, phiX174 single-stranded DNA). Nuclease protection of supercoiled pBR322, linear pBR322 (cut by EcoRV) or ss phiX174 virion was tested with 0.1 U DNase I (Promega), 200 U Exonuclease III (NEB) or 1 U Mung Bean Nuclease (Promega), respectively. 200 ng of ds circular DNA, linear plasmid DNA or ss circular DNA were pre-incubated for 15 min at 4°C in the absence or the presence of DdrC (7 μM, 7 μM, and 2 μM, respectively) in 20 μl of buffer A. 2 μl of the respective 10 X nuclease buffer provided by the manufacturer, and nuclease were then added and the samples were incubated at 30°C for 5 min for DNase I, 30 min for Exonuclease III or 15 min for Mung Bean Nuclease. As a control, 200 ng of ds circular pBR322 DNA was incubated simultaneously with 7 μM DdrC and 0.1 U DNase I. After addition of loading buffer, samples were immediately applied onto 1.2% agarose gels. Electrophoreses were performed in TEP 1X buffer at 4.3 V/cm for 3 h at 4°C.

Cloning HOTTIP 3'end into pGL3-Control

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pGL3-Control plasmid (Promega, Madison, USA) was digested with XbaI (Promega). The long restricted DNA products were recovered and treated with Mung Bean Nuclease (Promega) to degrade single-stranded extensions from the ends of DNA and leave blunt ends. The sequence corresponding to the wild-type HOTTIP 3’end (1561-3840nt) was amplified with HepG2 cDNA using Pyrobest DNA Polymerase (TaKaRa). The PCR primer pair used was: 5’-AAGGCGGTTTTACATACTGGTC-3’/ 5’-TAGCACCTGTAGTTGCCCATTCC-3’. The PCR products with blunt ends were ligated into the appropriately digested pGL3-Control (Promega) containing the firefly luciferase gene as a reporter. The resultant plasmid, designated pGL3-HOTTIP, was sequenced to confirm the orientation and integrity. The HOTTIP reporter gene plasmid with mutant miR-192 binding site or mutant miR-204 binding site was constructed with QuikChange Site-Directed Mutagenesis kit (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA). These mutant plasmids were confirmed by DNA sequencing and named as pGL3-Mut192 or pGL3-Mut204.

Validating Hairpin-Forming Oligonucleotide Structures

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hairpin-forming oligonucleotides (Table 1) were purchased from GenScript (Piscataway, NJ), dissolved in water, heated at 95°C for 5 min, and quick cooled on ice for 10 min to facilitate hairpin formation. The Mfold web server with default settings [27 (link)] [http://www.unafold.org] was used to model possible DNA folding patterns. To validate the predicted secondary structures, reactions containing 10 U of mung bean nuclease (Promega), 500 ng of each DNA, 50 mM potassium acetate, 20 mM Tris acetate, 10 mM magnesium acetate, and 100 μg·mL-1 BSA (pH 7.9) was incubated for 1 hour at 37°C then fractionated on a 4% agarose gel.

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.
