All substitutions or indels identified through WES were confirmed by Sanger sequencing, and available family members were sequenced for segregation analysis (Supplementary Figs. S1S7). Potential de novo variants were confirmed by sequencing of parental DNA and excluding nonpaternity. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of CYP1B1 and FOXC1 was performed on Veriti 96 Well Thermal Cycler (Applied Biosystems, Waltham, MA, USA). The protocol used for CYP1B1 amplification has previously been published.15 (link) PCR for FOXC1 was performed according to PCR Phusion High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase Protocol (Thermofisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) using the GC-buffer and 2x S-Solution (Solis BioDyne, Tartu, Estonia). Big Dye Terminator Cycle Sequencing Kit version 1.1/3.1 (Thermofisher Scientific) was used for the Sanger reactions and a 3130xl Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems) performed capillary sequencing. Sequences were visualized by Chromas version 2.6.6 (Technelysium, Brisbane, Australia). Primers are available on request. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) was used to confirm FOXC1 CNVs using the SALSA MLPA P054-B2 FOXL2-TWIST1 probemix (MRC Holland, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) according to the manufacturer's instructions. MLPA amplicons were analyzed using a 3130xl Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems) and Sequence Pilot version 5.0 (JSI medical systems).

Each PCR fragments were subsequently cloned into TA cloning vector (pGEM-T Easy, Promega, USA) and individual DNA sequencing was performed (3130xl Genetic Analyzer, Applied Biosystems). BglII and NdeI as unique restriction enzyme sites present in the overlapping region of both the PCR fragments and in the pGEMT vector backbone, respectively, were chosen for checking the proper orientation of the cloned fragments. First PCR product harboring the start codon of AOx open reading frame was ligated with second PCR fragment harboring the stop codon, at the common restriction site, thus confirming the full length functional clone of AOx from A.terreus MTCC6324. The full length clone of AOx in TA vector was confirmed through primer walking of both DNA strands (3130xl Genetic Analyzer, Applied Biosystems).

The sequences of the fluorescently labeled oligodeoxynucleotide substrates are shown in Figure 1A and prepared as previously described (12 (link)). DNA glycosylase cleavage assays for E. coli MUG and UNG were performed at 37°C for 60 min in a 10-μl reaction mixture containing 10 nM DNA substrate, 100 nM DNA glycosylase, 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 100 mM KCl, 5 mM EDTA and 2 mM 2-mercaptoethanol. The glycosylase assay for Tth UDGb was performed as previously described (16 (link)). The resulting abasic sites were cleaved by incubation at 95°C for 5 min after adding 0.5 μl of 1 N NaOH. Reactions were quenched by addition of an equal volume of GeneScan stop buffer. Samples (3.5 μl) were loaded onto a 7 M urea-10% denaturing polyacrylamide gel. Electrophoresis was conducted using an Applied Biosystems 3130xl Genetic analyzer. Cleavage products and remaining substrates were quantified using GeneMapper analysis software for Applied Biosystems 3130xl Genetic analyzer.

The 230 cultivars were genotyped for 31 nuclear SSRs [26 (link)–28 (link)] (S2 Table) and 5 chloroplast SSRs (cpSSRs) (Cmcs1–3, Cmcs5, and Cmcs7) [29 ]. PCR amplification was performed in a 10-μL solution containing 5 μL of 2× Green GoTaq G2 Hot Start Master Mix (0.4 mM each dNTP, Taq DNA polymerase, and 4 mM MgCl2, pH 8.5; Promega, Madison, WI, USA), 20 pmol of each forward primer labeled with a fluorescent dye (5-FAM or 5-HEX) and unlabeled reverse primer, and 2.5 ng of genomic DNA. Amplification was performed in 35 cycles of 94°C for 1 min, 55°C for 1 min, and 72°C for 2 min. PCR products were separated and detected with a 3130xl Genetic Analyzer (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The size of each amplified band was determined by comparison with a set of internal-standard DNA fragments (400HD ROX, Life Technologies) in GeneMapper software v. 5.0 (Life Technologies).

The human glioblastoma cell lines U251-MG (mutant p53; expressing R273H mutation) and U87-MG (wild-type p53) were a generous gift of Dr. Gad Lavie (Sheba Medical Center) while normal human astrocytes (NHA) were received as a gift of Prof. Chaya Brodie (Bar-Ilan University). The cell lines have been tested and authenticated before the experiments were established by the Promega PowerPlex 16 HS and analyzed using the 3130xl Genetic Analyzer (Life Technologies) and GeneMapper IDX software U251-MG and U87-MG were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM; Gibco) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Normal human astrocytes (NHA) served as controls and were cultured in Astrocyte Basal Medium (ABM; Lonza) supplemented with 0.1% rhEGF, 0.25% insulin, 0.25% ascorbic acid, 0.1% GA-1000, 1% L-glutamine, 3% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin.

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.
