Equilibrium Rho-RNA dissociation constants were determined using a filter-binding assay, as described previously (29 (link),30 (link)). Briefly, ∼10 fmoles of 32P-labeled RNA substrate were mixed with various amounts of Rho in 100 μl of binding buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.1 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM DTT, 150 mM potassium acetate and 20 μg/ml BSA) containing 0 or 1 mM ATP (or AMP-PNP). After incubation for 10 min at 30°C, the samples were filtered through stacked [top] nitrocellulose (Amersham Protran) and [bottom] cationic nylon (Pall Biodyne B) membranes using a Bio-dot SF apparatus (Biorad). No significant differences were observed in control experiments performed with 30 min incubation times (not shown). The fractions of free and Rho-bound RNA (retained on the nylon and nitrocellulose membranes, respectively) as a function of Rho concentration were then determined by phosphorimaging of the membranes using a Typhoon-Trio imager and dedicated ImageQuant TL v8.1 software (GE healthcare).

DNA (20 pmol) was 5′-labelled with 25 µCi [γ-32P] ATP by T4 polynucleotide kinase (NEB, Ipswich, UK). G4 and G4mut structures were purified by 7 % SDS-PAGE. Control DNA (ds, bubble, fork, 4 fork) was purified using illustra MicroSpin G-25 columns (GE Healthcare).
DNA–protein binding was analyzed by double-filter-binding assays [35 (link)] using a 96-well Bio-Dot SF apparatus (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) and 10 nM DNA in binding buffer (50 mM Tris/HCl pH 8.0, 125 mM KCl, 5 mM DTT, 10% (v/v) glycerol [13 (link)]). Protein concentrations increased from 0 to 65 µM Slx9. After incubation on ice for 30 min, the reactions were filtered through a nitrocellulose and a positively charged nylon membrane, followed by three washing steps with binding buffer with no glycerol. The membranes were dried and analyzed by phosphorimaging on a Typhoon FLA 7000 (GE Healthcare). Percentage values of bound Slx9 were determined using ImageQuant, and were used to obtain dissociation equilibrium constants (Kd) by curve fitting using nonlinear regression (GraphPad Prism, San Diego, CA, USA).

Percentage values of bound Zuo1 were determined using ImageQuant and were used to obtain dissociation equilibrium constants (apparent Kd) by curve fitting using nonlinear regression (Prism, Graphpad).

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.
