The hemiDNA 36-mer DNA duplex described above was used as substrate for measuring the steady-state methylation kinetics of DNMT1, where the Apt. #9 was used for inhibition. The 20-μL reaction contains 50 nM DNMT1, 5–400 nM hemiDNA, 0 or 0.1 μM Apt. #9, 0.5 μM S-adenosyl-l-[methyl-3H] methionine (specific activity 18 Ci/mmol, PerkinElmer), 2 μM AdoMet in 50 mM Tris–HCl, pH 8.0, 0.05% β-mercaptoethanol, 5% glycerol and 200 μg/ml BSA. The reactions were carried out in triplicate at 37°C for 0 min or 60 min, which falls into the linear range of the progression curve (Supplementary Figure S13), and quenched by addition of 5 μL of 10 mM AdoMet. For detection, 10 μL of reaction mixture was spot on Amersham Hybond™-XL membrane (GE Healthcare) and dried out. The membrane was then washed 3 times with 5 mL of 0.2 M cold ammonium bicarbonate (pH 8.2), 5 mL of Milli Q water and 5 mL of EtOH. Subsequently, the membrane was air dried, transferred to scintillation vials filled with 5 mL of ScintiVerse (Fisher) and subject to radioactivity measurement by a Beckman LS6500 counter. The data were analyzed by Michaelis–Menten enzymatic kinetics nonlinear regression fitting (Y = Vmax*X/(KM + X)) using GraphPad Prism7 software.

S-Adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and S-Adenosyl-L-[methyl-3H] methionine (370GBq mmol, 10 Ci/mmol) from Perkin-Elmer Life Sciences (Waltham). Methyltransferase activity in the brain-RG complexes isolated from larvae at 3hAIW was measured with JHA and FA as substrates, as described previously [14 (link), 20 (link), 23 (link), 33 ]. L-[Metyl-3H] methionine (2.92–3.70 TBq/mmol) was purchased from Perkin-Elmer Life Sciences and TLC plates (20×20 cm2 plastic plate coated with silica gel F254) from Merck KgaA (Germany). JH biosynthesis in the brain-RG complexes was detected using the radiochemical assay followed by thin layer chromatography analysis as reported previously [18 (link), 19 (link), 37 (link)]. JH titers from the whole bodies of each genotype were determined using the recently developed HPLC-FD protocol [34 (link)].

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.
