The 3′P assay was performed with 21 mer oligos 5′ATGTGGAAAATCTCTAGCAGT 3′, 5′ACTGCT AGAGATTTTCCACAT 3′. For STA 19 mer oligos used were: 5′ATGTGGAAAATCTCTA GCA 3′, 5′ACTGCTAGAGATTTTCCACAT3′ Target DNA, Oligos were: 5′TCGAGAAAAAAAA AACTTAAGCCCCCCCCCCC 3′, 5′TCGAGGGGGGGGGGGC TTAAGTTTTTTTTTTC 3′. One of the 3′P and STA oligos were first labelled at 5′end with [γ-32P] ATP with the help of polynucleotide kinase. The second unlabeled strand is then annealed to it. The unlabelled DNA were removed by column chromatography purification (Qiagen purification kit). Activity assay were performed as described earlier [45 (link)–48 (link)]. The 20 µL reaction mixture contains of 250 nM IN protein, 20 mM HEPES, 5 mM MgCl2, 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM DTT, and 0.1–1 µM of PSF protein. The reaction was incubated on ice and then at 37 °C for half an hour for 3′end processing activity. For strand transfer reaction after addition of labelled donar DNA, target DNA is added and incubated for 1 h at 37 °C. The reaction mixture was then loaded on 15% PAGE and electrophoresed in tris borate buffer, pH 8. The gels were visualized by phosphorimager.

The PCR product was purified using Qiagen PCR purification kit, A-tailed using Taq polymerase, and cloned into TA-cloning vector pCR2.1. Following sequencing verification, miniprep DNAs in the correct orientation were cloned after digestion with KpnI and XhoI and purification on an agarose gel into similarly digested pGL4 upstream of the luciferase reporter cDNA (Promega, Madison, WI). Miniprep DNAs from transformed colonies were verified by DNA sequencing. 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 kb truncated fragments were similarly cloned using primers (see Table 1) in conjunction with reverse primer used for the 2-kb promoter. Two clones for each construct were grown as Maxipreps and purified DNAs were used in the transfections.

To analyze the CasRx knockdown mutant sequence at the RNA level, total RNA from the cochleae and cDNA were obtained as described above. Target site sequences were amplified with primers TMC1-lib-F and TMC1-lib-R (Supplementary Table 2). PCR products were visualized on 2% agarose gels and purified with a purification kit (Qiagen). Paired-end reads (150 base pairs) were generated on an Illumina MiSeq platform. The reads from heterozygous samples were segregated based on the presence of the wild-type sequence (5′-ATG CCT CCT GGG GAT GTT CTG TCC CAC C-3′ and its reverse complement 5′-GGT GGG ACA GAA CAT CCC CAG GAG GGA CAT-3′) and the mutant sequence (5′-ATG TCC CTC CTG GGG AAG TTC TGT CCC ACC-3′) and its reverse complement 5′-GGT GGG ACA GAA CTT CCC CAG GAG GGA CAT-3′).

Plasmid DNAs encoding full-length pH-sensitive GFP (pHluorin)-tagged GluA2 (pH-GluA2), either wild-type or those C-terminal lysine to arginine mutants have been described previously (Widagdo et al. 2015 (link)). Additional pH-GluA2 Ser-880 phospho-mutants (S880A and S880E), as well as the PDZ (postsynaptic density 95/disc large/zona occludens) binding motif mutant (I883E), were generated using the standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol. Briefly, mutations were introduced in reverse primers containing the HindIII restriction site as shown in Table 1. DNA fragments containing mutated sequences were amplified with those reverse primers and a common forward primer encompassing a unique BstEII restriction site using the Phusion DNA polymerase kit (New England Biolabs) according to manufacturer’s protocol. The resulting PCR products were purified using the Qiagen PCR purification kit and subjected to restriction digests before ligated into the unique BstEII and HindIII sites within the pCAG-pH-GluA2 construct (Widagdo et al. 2015 (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.
