Cells were grown in a 96-well deep-well plate (Corning, CLS3961) supplied with a sterile 4-mm glass bead in each well to avoid cell clumping. One-milliliter cell cultures were collected by centrifugation (3,000 × g for 3 min at room temperature) and resuspended in 0.3 mL ice-cold Tris-buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH8.0, 100 mM NaCl). 0.5 mm acid-washed glass beads (Sigma, G8772) were added to the cell suspension and then cells were disrupted by RETSCH MM400 Mixer Mill with 5 cycles of mixing at the top speed (60/s) for 30 s. The resultant supernatant was used for 96-well nucleic acid extraction with the combined use of Quick- ‐DNA/RNA Viral MagBead Automated Kit (Zymo Research, R2141) and CyBio Felix automated liquid handler (Analytik Jena). Two microliters of total nucleic samples was subjected to qPCR analysis in a 10-µL reaction volume using PrimeScript OneStep RT-qPCR Kit (TaKaRa, RR064). For the quantification of RNA transcribed from a launching plasmid, RT-qPCR was performed with and without reverse transcriptase. The relative transcript level per plasmid was calculated by using the following formula: RNA+DNARNA=2ΔΔCt RT+-RT-,
RNADNA=2ΔΔCt RT+-RT--1.
Replicated RNA level was quantified by using 25S rRNA as a reference gene.

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.
