The coding sequences of the three gene models, Glyma.04G143300, Glyma.04G143400 and Glyma.04G143500, were analyzed for H-e3 and ZE. The coding sequences were amplified from the cDNAs by using primers listed in Supplementary Table S1. The amplified fragments were cloned into a pGEM-T Easy vector (Promega) and sequenced with a BigDye Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing kit and an ABI PRISM 3100 Avant Genetic Analyzer (both from Applied Biosystems, Japan) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A derived cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (dCAPS) marker targeting a single-base deletion observed in ZE was developed to discriminate the functional E1Lb allele of H-e3 from the loss-of-function e1lb allele of ZE. The 275-bp DNA fragment amplified from ZE by PCR with the forward primer 5′-GTGTAAACACTCAAAGTCCTT-3′ and the reverse primer 5′-CGTCTTCTTGATCTTCCAACG-3′ was digested with HpyCH4IV (New England Biolabs Japan) into two fragments, 254 bp and 21 bp, but the 276-bp fragment amplified from H-e3 was resistant to HpyCH4IV digestion. The PCR products were treated with HpyCH4IV for 1 h and then separated by electrophoresis in 2.5% NuSieve 3:1 gel (Lonza), stained with ethidium bromide, and visualized under UV light.

DNA methylation levels were evaluated by COBRA as we previously reported15 (link),16 (link). In brief, sodium bisulfite treatment was performed using an EpiTect Bisulfite kit (Qiagen) according to the conditions as follows: 95 °C for 5 min, 65 °C for 85 min, 95 °C for 5 min and 65 °C for 175 min. After sodium bisulfite treatment, PCR was performed using one unit of Biotaq HS DNA polymerase (Bioline, London, UK) and the primer sets shown in Supplementary Table S11 online under the thermocycling conditions (35 to 38 cycles of 95 °C for 30 s, 60 °C for 30 s, and 72 °C for 30 s, with an initial step of 95 °C for 10 min and a final step of 72 °C for 7 min). A part of the PCR product was digested with the restriction enzyme TaqI (Takara, Tokyo, Japan) or HpyCH4IV (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA). The treated PCR product was electrophoresed by 3% agarose gel. PCR products from methylated DNA and unmethylated DNA are digested and undigested by the treatment with the restriction enzyme. The intensity of the signals of the digested and undigested PCR products was measured by densitometry. Methylation levels (%) were calculated as the ratio of the digested PCR product in the total PCR product (digested + undigested products).

Bisulfite-based DNA Methylation Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
cDNA derived from the bisulfite treated RNA was used to generate PCR products from tRNA Asp(GTC) and helix 70 of 25S nuclear rRNA using the primers forward Asp tRNA_At_FWD and reverse Asp tRNA_At_REV and primers forward 25S_rRNA_F and reverse 25S_rRNA_R, respectively. The 25S_rRNA_F dCAPS primer contains a G mismatch at position four from the 3′ end to generate a HinfI restriction site. PCR products were digested with HpyCH4IV or HinfI restriction enzymes (New England Biolabs), respectively. The tRNAAsp(GTC) 72bp PCR product is digested by HpyCH4IV resulting in two digestion products of 35bp and 37bp if C38 is methylated, and is undigested if C38 is non-methylated and thus converted to T38 by bisulfite treatment, causing the HpyCH4IV restriction enzyme site to be lost. The 25S rRNA PCR product is 155bp in length. When C2268 is methylated, the restriction enzyme HinfI cleaves the PCR product into two fragments of 29bp and 126bp. Non-methylated 25S rRNA has a T at position 2268 after bisulfite treatment, and this eliminates the HinfI restriction enzyme site, leaving the product at 155bp and undigested. Undigested PCR products were used as loading controls. Primer sequences used are provided (Additional file 1: Table S6).

MYH3 promoter-specific primers (MYH3_1_F,
5’-TGGTCTTTCCTAATTGGTGACAT-3’, MYH3_1_R,
5’-AGTTTTGAGCAAGGCTTTTGTT-3’) and distilled water (iNtRON,
Seongnam, Korea). PCR conditions were as follows: initial heating was at
95°C for 5 min, followed by 35 cycles of 30 s for denaturation at
94°C, 30 s for annealing at 65°C, and 30 s for an extension at
72°C, followed by a final extension at 72°C for 10 min in a Nexus
PCR machine (Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany). And the amplicons were digested with
the restriction enzyme, HpyCH4IV (NEB, Ipswich, MA, USA). The
PCR products were separated on 2.5% agarose gels (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) and
visualized by UV illumination with a BioFACT 100 bp plus DNA ladder marker
(BioFACT, Daejeon, Korea) [2 (link)].

To generate filler DNA, enterobacteria phage λ DNA was polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplified with GoTaq Master Mix (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). The primer sequences were as follows: forward primer 5′- CGATGGGTTAATTCGCTCGTTGTGG-3′, reverse primer 5′-GCACAACGGAAAGAGCACTG-3′.

Methylated amplicons were purified using a DNA Clean and Concentrator-5 Kit (ZYMO Research, Irvine, CA, USA) and quantified using a Qubit Fluorometer. CpG methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme HpyCH4IV (New England BioLabs, Ipswitch, MA, USA) digestion, followed by agarose gel electrophoresis, was performed to ensure the complete methylation of filler DNA.

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.
