Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) was carried out on a 1% native agarose gel, or a 4–16% acrylamide gel (Novex™ TBE Gels). PaP3 TerS from peak 2 was used in both assays. WT-TerS or the various mutants were mixed with Cy3-cos or Cy3-scr oligonucleotides and incubated at 37°C for 30 min. The protein:DNA mixture was resolved either on a 1% agarose gel (49 (link)) or a 4–16% acrylamide gel (Novex™ TBE Gels) in the presence of 0.5× TBE buffer (45 mM Tris base, 45 mM Boric Acid, 1 mM EDTA) at 4°C. The Cy3 signals were measured using a ChemiDoc MP (Bio-Rad) at 602 nm. The intensity of the bands was quantified using ImageJ (49 (link)). The fraction of TerS bound to DNA was calculated by dividing the total intensity of all bands in each lane by that of the bands representing protein–DNA complexes. The plot was generated using GraphPad Prism 8 based on three independent experiments.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nucleosome preparation and sliding by INO80 was performed under conditions as reported earlier19 (link). Sliding for in the presence of various [INO80] as reported in Fig. 2f (for 1 minute) and Extended Data Fig. 7 (for 1 minute and 2.5 minutes) was performed in 10 μl reaction volumes containing 8 nM nucleosomes (nucleosomes formed on both constructs in the pair were present in equimolar proportion), 2 mM ATP, 24 mM tris-HCl pH 7.5, 43 mM KCl, 2.86 mM MgCl2, 0.55% glycerol and indicated concentration of INO80. The mixture was incubated without ATP at 30 °C for 7 minutes. After addition of ATP, the reaction was allowed to proceed for 1 minute at 30 °C, and was then quenched by the addition of lambda DNA and ADP to final concentrations of 66.7 μg/ml and 20 mM respectively. For all sliding experiments reported in Extended Data Fig. 6b (timecourse of INO80 sliding), conditions were the same except incubations prior to ATP addition and the subsequent sliding reaction were carried out at room temperature. The reaction was continued for the indicated amounts of time in presence of saturating INO80 prior to quenching. Quenched reactions were loaded on to 6% TBE gels (Invitrogen) in presence of 10% glycerol and run at 150 V for 1.5 hrs. The gel was imaged separately for Cy3 and Cy5 fluorescence.

If included, unlabeled competitor probe was added in 10-fold excess to labeled probe. Reactions were run on 6% TBE gels (Invitrogen) without loading dye. Probe migration was detected on a ChemiDoc MP Imaging System (Bio-Rad). Oligonucleotide sequences are listed in Table S2.

Helraiser Transposase Binding to DNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Binding of the Helraiser transposase to various DNA oligonucleotides was measured by EMSA using 6% TBE gels (Invitrogen). Purified protein at 15–250 nM was incubated for 30 min at room temperature in binding buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mM EDTA, 1 mM TCEP) with 50 nM 6-FAM-labelled oligonucleotides. To test whether the addition of a nonhydrolyzable ATP analogue could lock Helraiser helicase domain into an active conformation and facilitate DNA binding, 1 mM AMP–PNP was added to some of the binding reactions. After addition of DNA gel loading solution (Quality Biological, INC), samples were run on 6% TBE gels and visualized.

Total RNA extraction was performed by using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, #15596026) from 7-day-old seedlings, and dissolved in DEPC-treated H2O. Total RNAs were used for library preparation with Real Seq Bioscience RealSeqR-AC Kit (500–00012). The final library products were further purified using 6% polyacrylamide gel (Novex™ TBE Gels, EC6265BOX). The 145–160nt products were excised from the gel for sequencing (single end 50 bp) on a NextSeq 2000 machine (Illumina). The small RNA sequencing data were trimmed using Trimmomatic (v.0.39) and then mapped to the pseudo-genome sequence with insertion of 2 × 180 or 5 × 180 in TAIR10 and called small RNA using ShortStack version 3.8.5 (44 (link)) with parameter setting "–mincov 1rpm –pad 75 –mismatches 0 –nohp.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
GRO-seq libraries were prepared from four biological replicates of control or hypoxia-treated HUVECs according to the protocol described (3 (link)). Briefly, 5–10 millions of nuclei were collected from each sample, run-on reactions were performed in the presence of Br-UTP and RNA was extracted with Trizol LS Reagent (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). RNA was DNAse treated and fragmented using TURBO DNase and RNA fragmentation reagents (Life Technologies), purified using P-30 columns (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) and dephosphorylated using PNK (Enzymatics, Y904L). Labeled RNA fragments were captured using anti-BrdU beads (sc-32323 AC, SantaCruz Biotech, Santa Cruz, CA, USA). Poly(A)-tailing and reverse transcription were performed as described (3 (link)). Libraries were amplified using 12–16 cycles, size-selected (180–350 bp) from 10% TBE gels (Life Technologies) and sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Sequencing libraries were prepared from recovered DNA (ChIP) or generated cDNA (RNA) by blunting, A-tailing, and adapter ligation as previously described using barcoded adapters (NextFlex; Bioo Scientific) (Gosselin et al, 2014 (link), 2017 (link)). Before final PCR amplification, RNA-seq libraries were digested by 30 min of incubation at 37°C with Uracil DNA Glycosylase (final concentration of 0.134 units per μl of library volume; UDG, Enzymatics G5010L) to generate strand-specific libraries. Libraries were PCR-amplified for 12–15 cycles and size selected for fragments (200–400 bp for ChIP-seq, 200–500 for RNA-seq) by gel extraction (10% TBE gels, Life Technologies EC62752BOX). RNA-seq and ChIP-seq libraries were single-end sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 4000 (Illumina) according to manufacturer’s instruction.

DNA-Binding Affinity Assay for Taq Polymerase

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Dissociation constant Kd (DNA) was measured using a gel mobility-shift assay that employs a 5′ 33P-labeled hairpin template (5′-CTCCAGACACGACGCAGTTGCCCGATGGTCGACGTTCGCGAAAGCGAACGTCGACCATCGGGCAACT-3′) blocked at the 3′ end with dideoxy TMP. The radiolabeled hairpin (0.25 nM) was incubated with varying concentrations of wild-type or mutant Taq DNA polymerases (0.5–1000 nM; bracketing the predicted Kd) in 1× Taq buffer at 37°C for 30 min. DNA-protein complexes were run on 10% non-denaturing TBE gels (Life Technologies) in 0.5× TBE buffer. Gels were dried down and exposed to film. The fraction of DNA bound was quantified by densitometry using AlphaView SA software (Alpha Innotech), and then plotted against enzyme concentration to determine Kd values by interpolation.

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.
