Phosphorimager screen

Manufactured by GE Healthcare
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom

The PhosphorImager screen is a laboratory equipment used for the detection and quantification of radioactively labeled samples. It functions by capturing the luminescence emitted from phosphor-coated screens that have been exposed to radioactive samples, allowing for the visualization and analysis of these samples.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The extent of RT arrest at m1G37 in tRNA-Leu-UAA and tRNA-Pro-UGG from S. cerevisiae was quantified via primer extension with AMV RT, an enzyme with low processivity at this modification (Werner et al., 2020 (link)). The primers were designed to enable a 4-nucleotide extension to m1G37 (tRNA-Leu-UAA: 5′-CGCGGACAACCGTCCAAC-3′; tRNA-Pro-UGG: 5′-TGAACCCAGGGCCTCT-3′) and 5'-end-labeled with γ-32P-ATP. 3 μg of total RNA from exponentially growing yeast cells was mixed with 1 pmol end-labeled primer and incubated at 95°C for 3 min followed by slow cooling to 37°C. RT reactions were assembled by adding 15 U AMV RT (Promega), 0.5 mM dNTPs, 20 U SUPERase In (Ambion) and 1X AMV RT buffer in a 5-μl volume. Following incubation at 37°C for 45 min, reactions were stopped by addition of 5 μl 2X RNA loading dye (47.5% Formamide, 0.01% SDS, 0.01% bromophenol blue, 0.005% Xylene Cyanol, 0.5 mM EDTA), boiled at 95°C for 5 min, and resolved on a denaturing 15% PAA/7M urea/1X TBE gel. The gel was exposed at −80°C to a PhosphorImager screen, which was scanned on a Typhoon FLA 9000 (GE Healthcare). Band intensity was quantified with ImageQuant (GE Healthcare).

For the in vitro RV translation assay, various concentration of ORNs RV S1 AUG (0.5, 1, 2 or 4 µM), S10.2, S11.2 (1 or 4 µM) or Scr (4 µM) were incubated with 300 ng of S1, S10 or S11 RV transcripts purified by phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol, followed by exclusion chromatography (Illustra Microspin G-25 column, GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA) to remove other impurities. The mixtures of RNA and ORN were incubated for 20 min at 37 °C, and added to a reaction mix containing 7.5 µL of nuclease-treated rabbit reticulocyte lysate (RRL, Promega, Madison, WI, USA), 1 mM amino acid mix minus methionine, and 6 µCi 35S-methionine. Translation reactions were incubated at 30 °C for 90 min and treated with 1 µg of RNase A for 10 min at room temperature. Labelled proteins were visualized using a PhosphorImager screen (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA).

5–10 μg of total RNA was separated on a 1.5% denaturing agarose-formaldehyde gel and transferred to a positively charged nylon membrane (Roche Applied Bioscience or PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA). Northern probes were generated with gene specific primers by amplifying ~ 200–500 bp of transcript from genomic DNA. Primer sequences are given in S4 Table. 100–150 ng of each DNA probe was labeled using the High Prime DNA Labeling Kit (Roche Applied Bioscience) and [α – 32P] dCTP (PerkinElmer). Membranes were blocked in UltraHybe hybridization buffer (Ambion, Life Technologies) for at least 30 minutes and denatured probe was added to the same blocking buffer and incubated at 42°C overnight. The next day membranes were washed twice in 2X SSC, 0.1% SDS for 5 minutes and twice in 0.1X SSC, 0.1% SDS for 15 minutes at 42°C before exposure to a phosphorimager screen (GE Life Sciences, Pittsburgh, PA). Screens were scanned with a Fuji FLA-5100 imager and analyzed with Multi Gauge Software (ver. 3.1; Fujifilm/GE Life Sciences).

Quantifying Protein-RNA Interactions

Five micrograms of protein lysate was incubated with 1.4 pmol of radiolabeled probe in a final volume of 20 μl. Reactions were incubated at 22°C for 20 min in 1× reaction buffer consisting of 100 mM KCl, 10 mM Tris pH 7.6, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 500 ng Poly (I)-(C) (ThermoFisher Waltham, MA, USA). Reactions with unlabeled specific wild-type (wt) competitor and non-specific tRNA competitor at 10, 25, 50 and 100× molar excess were carried out in parallel. The 20 μl reaction was loaded onto a 1× Tris Borate EDTA buffer, 6% non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel and electrophoresed for 2.5 h. Gels were transferred to Whatman 3CHR paper (Whatman, Maidstone UK), dried at 80°C under vacuum for 2 h, and exposed to a phosphorimager screen (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Little Chalfont, UK). At least three independent assays were performed per probe. Typhoon 9410 software was used to analyze the gels and determine relative signal intensities of the shifted bands. Background subtracted signal intensity for each sample was determined as a ratio to wt in the absence of competitor. Relative average intensities were calculated and compared by paired t-tests using GraphPad Prism.

Total RNA (10 µg) was resolved by formaldehyde/agarose gel electrophoresis and
blotted onto a Hybond-N+ membrane (GE Healthcare, Waukesha, WI, USA). The
mRNA was hybridized with a murine Apmap cDNA probe generated by PCR (primer located
in the middle 5′-CCAGGATCCTGTTGGACCAGTTGCAGTTC-3′ and at the 3′
end of the Apmap coding sequence) and labeled with [α-[32P]]dATP

manufacturer’s protocol (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). After hybridization and
washing, signals were visualized by exposure to a PhosphorImager Screen (GE
Healthcare). Transcripts discussed in the results section were obtained from GenBank
[National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), Bethesda, MD, USA; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/) and The

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.
