Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nuclear extracts were treated with 10 20 U FastAP (Thermo Scientific) and FastAP buffers (10×) and incubated at 37°C for 1 h. For the control, the nuclear extracts were incubated under the same conditions without FastAP. To verify that PRP18a dephosphorylation is dependent on the concentration of CYP18-1, the density of A. tumefaciens cells harboring CYP18-1 or PPIL3b in was adjusted to 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 at optical density at 600 nm (OD 600 ), and the density of A. tumefaciens cells harboring PRP18a was set to 1.0 at OD 600 using a spectrometer. Infiltration buffer was used to replace the volume of CYP18-1 or PPIL3b as needed so that the final density of PRP18a was the same for each sample. A. tumefaciens cells harboring CYP18-1 or PPIL3b and PRP18a were mixed prior to being introduced into N. benthamiana for simultaneous expression.

For each sample, 25 to 50 ng of RNA was digested with 1 μl Nuclease P1 (Sigma) in P1 buffer (25 mM NaCl, 2.5 mM ZnCl2) in a final reaction volume of 20 μl for 2 h at 42 °C. Subsequently, 1 μl of FastAP (Thermo Fisher) and 2.5 μl of 10x FastAP buffer were added to each sample, and they were incubated at 37 °C for 4 h. Samples were then diluted with an equal volume of water and filtered through a 0.2 μm PVDF filter (0.2 μm pore size, 0.4 mm diameter, Millipore). Five microliters of each filtered sample was separated by reverse-phase ultraperformance liquid chromatography on a ZORBAX Eclipse XDB-C18 Rapid Resolution HT 2.1 × 50 mm, 1.8 μm column (Agilent) on an Agilent Technologies 1290 Infinity II liquid chromatography system, followed by mass spectrometry on a Sciex Triple Quad 6500 triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer in positive electrospray ionization mode. Nucleosides were quantified using nucleoside-to-base transitions of 282.101 > 150.100 (m6A), 282.101 > 150.100 (m1A), 284.982 > 153.100 (d3m6A), 284.983 > 153.200 (d3m1A), 296.101 > 164.100 (m6,6A), 267.966 > 136.000 (A), and 284.004 > 152.100 (G). Standard curves were generated by injecting known concentrations of the corresponding pure nucleosides in the same run, and the percentage of modified to unmodified nucleosides was calculated based on the calibrated concentrations.

T4-PNK was heat-inactivated for 10 min at 75°C. Free γ32P-ATP was removed by desalting on a G25 spin column (GE Healthcare) according to the manufacturer's instructions. 5′-32P-labeled RNA was stored at −20°C until further use. Chemically synthesized small RNAs (30 pmol; Biomers) were directly phosphorylated by T4-PNK following the same protocol.

Plasmids based on pETG_41K_MCS harboring the coding sequences of wild-type Physcomitrium patens editing factors PPR56 and PPR65 and their 46 bp targets (28 (link)) were used to amplify PPR protein target combinations using Q5 polymerase (New England Biolabs) and primers with restriction site overhangs (Supplementary Table S1, Integrated DNA Technologies). After digest (FastDigest enzymes ApaI and ScaI, Thermo Fisher Scientific; CutSmart enzymes MscI and NotI, New England Biolabs), the constructs were introduced into the dephosphorylated (FastAP, Thermo Fisher Scientific) eukaryotic expression vectors pEYFP-C1 and pCMV-HA (Clontech TaKaRa), respectively, to create the final fusion protein coding sequences. Plasmid DNA for all constructs was isolated and purified using the NucleoBond® Xtra Midi kit (Macherey Nagel). Construct sequences were verified by Sanger Sequencing (Macrogen Europe). To generate constructs with coding sequence mutations, rolling-circle (38 ) or overlap extension PCRs (39 (link)) were performed (for oligonucleotides see Supplementary Table S1). E. coli RNA editing experiments with mutated PPR protein versions inserted in petG_41K_MCS with their 46 bp targets were performed as outlined in (28 (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.
