TRIzol (Invitrogen) reagent was used to isolate total RNA from cells as per the manufacturer’s instructions. About 4 μg of total RNA was resolved in 1.2% agarose gels with 0.7% formaldehyde and GelRed® (Biotium) in 1× MOPS buffer. The RNA was transferred to a nylon membrane overnight by capillary-based transfer and used for probing rRNAs and mRNAs. For tRNA northern blots, RNA was resolved in TBE-Urea Gel (15%) in 1× TBE buffer followed by wet transfer at 30 V for 1 h in 0.5× TBE buffer. Membranes were then UV crosslinked and hybridized with probes corresponding to the mitochondrially encoded mRNAs or tRNAs. Washing the membranes after probing was performed with 1× SSC buffer (150 mM NaCl, 15 mM tri-sodium citrate (pH 7.0)) supplemented with 0.1% SDS. Probes for mRNA and tRNA were prepared by Prime-It II Random Primer Labeling Kit (Agilent technologies) with 50 μCi of CTP and Riboprobe® in vitro Transcription Systems (Promega) with 50 μCi of UTP respectively, according to manufacturer’s instructions. Oligonucleotides and primers used for the synthesis of tRNA and mRNA probes are listed in the Supplementary Tables S3 and S4, respectively. Membranes were then exposed on a phosphoimager screen and visualized using Typhoon FLA 7000 phosphoimager.

32P-labeled and unlabeled mRNA probes were made in vitro using Riboprobe In Vitro Transcription Systems (Promega, Southampton, UK) in the presence or absence of 40 μCi of [α-32P]rUTP (GE Healthcare) respectively. The BCL2 ARE probe was generated using the plasmidPCRII/bcl-2 ARE [30] (link). The resulting probe was separated from unincorporated nucleotides using ProbeQuant G-50 Micro Columns (GE Healthcare). E.coli-expressed purified ZFP36L1 protein (10–100 ng) or cell protein cell lysates (30 µg) were incubated with 50 000 to 100 000 cpm of α-32P-labeled RNA probes, corresponding to approximately 30–100 fmol RNA.

RNase T1 and heparan sulfate (Sigma) were added to final concentrations of 50 U/ml and 5 mg/ml, respectively, and incubated on ice for another 20 min. RNA-protein complexes were resolved by electrophoresis (150 V for 3 hours at 4°C) on a 4% nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel using a Hoefer SE600 electrophoresis unit (Hoefer Scientific, Holliston, MA, USA). The gel was dried on a gel dryer (Hoefer SE1160 Gel Dryer), exposed to X-ray film (Kodak BioMax MS) and developed.

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.
