For most experiments, cells were cultured in YEA medium that contains phosphate. In experiments comparing levels of pho1 expression in the presence or absence of phosphate, EMM was used with or without 15.5 mM sodium phosphate and 20 mM potassium phosphate. Total RNA was isolated by incubating cells in hot phenol heated to 65 °C for 10 min followed by 3 additional extractions using phenol-chloroform. RNA was precipitated using the sodium-acetate-ethanol method. Northern blots were performed according to the published protocol6 (link). 10 µg of RNA was resolved on a 1% formaldehyde-agarose denaturing gel and capillary transferred using NorthernMAX transfer buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) onto positively charged BrightStar-Plus nylon membrane (Ambion) and crosslinked using UV Stratalinker 2400 (Stratagene). The T7 in vitro transcription kit (Promega) was used to generate α-P32-UTP (PerkinElmer) labeled RNA probes (Supplementary Table 2) that were hybridized to the membrane overnight at 65 °C in ULTRAhyb buffer (Ambion). The membrane was exposed and scanned using a Typhoon FLA 9500 phosphor imager (GE Healthcare).

After centrifugation at 300×g for 5 min, the cell lysate was incubated with the biotinylated sense or antisense LHFPL3-AS1 RNA at 4 °C overnight. Subsequently, the mixture was incubated with streptavidin-conjugated Dynabeads (Thermo Scientific, USA) on a rotator for 2 h at 4 °C. The beads were washed with lysis buffer and then boiled in protein loading buffer (Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China). The proteins were separated by gel electrophoresis and stained with Coomassie brilliant blue (Beyotime, China). The separated proteins bands specific for the sense LHFPL3-AS1 RNA were excised for mass spectrometry analysis.

Ribozymes M1-C and V718-C contained the same mutations found in C102 which is a non-functional M1 RNA mutant with point mutations (A347C348 → C347U348, C353C354C355G356 → G353G354A355U356). A T7 in vitro transcription kit (Promega) was used for synthesizing RNA substrate ap11 and ribozyme RNAs [28 (link)]. Kinetic analyses and gel-shift binding assays were carried out following experimental procedures as described [19 (link),20 (link),29 (link)].

The NLRP4E template sequences for the siRNA are listed in Additional file 1: Table S2. The siRNA was constructed, annealed, and purified using Promega’s T7 in vitro transcription kit (Cat #: P1700, USA). The purified siRNAs were kept at −80 °C. The final small interfering RNA (siRNA) was a mixture of siRNAs corresponding to four different regions at the same final concentration of 5 μM.
For NLRP4E knockdown in oocytes by siRNA, we used Millipore’s siRNA transfection system (Cat #: N2913, USA) following the method described in our previous report. During siRNA processing (usually 36–44 h), 2.5 μM milrinone was added to inhibit meiosis.

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) (TaKaRa, Dalian, China) were synthesized to induce the suppression of lncR26319 expression. The lncR26319 ASO was designed as a gapmer uggugTTGTTAAGGGgcuuc, where the 1st and last 5 nucleotides were ribonucleotides with 2′‐O‐methyl modification flanking 10 deoxyribonucleotides. The total probe contained a phosphorothioate modification. The lncR26319 ASO was transfected into the BmN4 cells with liposome (FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent, Promega, Madison, WI, USA). The double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) of EndoA and EGFP was designed using the online software of SnapDragon (https://www.flyrnai.org/cgi‐bin/RNAi_find_primers.pl) and synthesized with T7 in vitro transcription kit (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). The dsRNA of EGFP was used as a negative control for dsRNA experiments. An amount of 2 μg dsRNA or 50 μmol/L ASO was transfected into the BmN4 (70% confluence) cells in 12‐well plates by liposome transfection method. Silencing efficiency of lncR26319 or EndoA was determined after 48 h of transfection by qRT‐PCR; actinA3 was used as an internal control. The All‐in‐OneTM miRNA qRT‐PCR Detection Kit (GeneCopoeia, Rockville, MD, USA) was used to detect the expression changes of miR‐2834. U6 was used as an internal control.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For Barley Stripe Mosaic Virus (BSMV) assay in wheat, two silencing fragments (VIGS-1, VIGS-2) were designed and combined to specifically knock down TaBIR1 transcript. Each fragment was evaluated by BLASTn against wheat genome to ensure specific silencing. Both fragments were cloned and inserted into BSMV:γ vector as previously described [53 (link)]. Plasmids were linearized and transcribed using the T7 in vitro transcription kit (Promega) following the manufacturer’s instructions. The transcripts of BSMV:TaBIR1 (containing VIGS-1, VIGS-2) mixed with BSMV:α, BSMV:β, and FES buffer were inoculated on the second leaves of two-leaf stage wheat seedlings. TaPDS encoding T. aestivum phytoene desaturase was used as silencing index. A fragment of GFP was used as negative control. After virus inoculation, infected plants were maintained in a controlled growth chamber at 25 °C. Twelve days later, the fully expanded fourth leaves were further inoculated with fresh Pst CYR23 urediospores and maintained at 16 °C. The Pst inoculated leaves were collected at 0, 24, 48 hpi for silencing efficiency and histochemical assays. Samples at 240 h for fungal biomass was analyzed as described [54 (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.
