The detailed protocols were described elsewhere 33 (link). In brief, prior to import into purified mitochondria, [35S]-methionine and cysteine labeled Su9-DHFR (dihydrofolate reductase) fusion protein (based on the described protocol 33 (link), 52 (link), 53 (link), provided by Shanghai Genechem Co.) was generated with the TNT Quick Coupled Transcription/Translation kit (Promega, Shanghai, China). The isolated mitochondria (200 µg/mL) of human glioma cells was dissolved to the described import buffer 33 (link) and import reaction was started by the addition of translation mix. After 15 min, the import was terminated by trypsin on ice and soybean trypsin inhibitor was thereafter added. Mitochondria were pelleted by centrifugation, disrupted in Laemmli sample buffer and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and autoradiography.

The GST-IRF3 construct has been described previously44 (link). GST-IRF3 was immobilized on Glutathione-S-Sepharose beads. PCDNA3-EGFR or empty vector were subjected to in vitro transcription and translation by using TNT Quick coupled Transcription/Translation kit (Promega, Madison, WI) and the reactions were carried out as per the manufacturer’s protocol. Binding reactions were carried out by incubating 20 µl of TNT products of PCDNA3-EGFR-WT or empty vector with 50 µl of GST-IRF3 beads in presence of NETN buffer (20mM TRIS-HCl, pH8.0, 100mM NaCl, 1mM EDTA, o.1% Nonidet P-40, 10% Glycerol, and 2mM PMSF) for 2h at 4°C on a rocking platform, followed by extensive washes. GST alone was used as control. The bound fraction was separated in SDS-PAGE gel and subjected to immunoblotting with EGFR or GST antibody.

To perform the GST pull down with GST-Aurora B and GST-ERK1 with Cnot3 and the deletion mutants of Cnot3, 0.5 μg of pCDNA-Cnot3, pCDNA-Cnot3 Δ1-200, pCDNA-Cnot3 Δ651-700, pCDNA-Cnot3 Δ701-751, and pCDNA-Cnot3 Δ651-751 were in vitro transcribed/translated using a TNT Quick Coupled Transcription/Translation kit (Promega, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions using 10 μCi of 35S-methionine to radiolabel the proteins. GST or GST-Aurora B or GST-ERK (1 μg) was added to the GSH beads (GE Healthcare, USA) in binding buffer (50 mM Tris-Cl, pH 8.0, 150 mM monopotassium glutamate, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1% Igepal CAL630, 5% glycerol, 0.2% BSA), supplemented with Complete protease inhibitor cocktail (Merck, USA), and incubated for 2 h at 4°C. The beads were then washed and 5 μl of the in vitro transcribed/translated CNOT3 was incubated with the beads overnight at 4°C. The beads were then washed with the binding buffer, and the proteins were eluted by boiling in loading buffer. The eluted proteins were subjected to SDS–PAGE, stained, dried for 1 h at 80°C, and exposed overnight to Phosphor screen in a cassette (GE Healthcare, USA). Images were captured in a Fujifilm FLA 5100 scanner (Japan) using Fujifilm FLA-5000 software.

FoxH1 Binding Site Validation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
EMSA tests were performed as described [31 (link)] using in vitro synthesized (TNT Quick-coupled Transcription/Translation kit, Promega). The following oligonucleotides containing putative FoxH1 binding sites were used: S1: CTGAATACACAAG; S2: CCTTGTGTATTTGC; S3: TGGTGTGTATTTA; S4: TTTAATACACAACA. Oligos were end-labeled using γ-32P-Adenosine 5’-triphosphate (PerkinElmer) and polynucleotide kinase (Fermentas, EK0031). The binding reaction was performed using 25,000 cpm for each oligonucleotide, 2 μl protein in the presence of 0.1 mg/ml of poly(dI-dC) and 1 × binding buffer (5 × buffer: 60 mM HEPES pH 7.9, 20 mM Tris—HCl pH 7.9, 300 mM KCl, 60% (v/v) glycerol, 5 mM DTT and 5 mM EDTA). The mix was incubated for 45 min at room temperature. For competition assays, FoxH1 protein was 15 min pre-incubated with 100 fold higher concentration of unlabeled competitor oligos before adding the labeled probes. Binding was analyzed by running a native 5% polyacrylamide gel, followed by overnight exposure of film (GE Healthcare, Amersham Hyperfilm MP) at −80°C before development.

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.
