Total DNA from wild-type and transplastomic plants was extracted by a cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-based method (2% CTAB, 1.4 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM Tris–HCl pH 8.0, 20 mM EDTA pH 8.0; Doyle and Doyle, 1990 ). Total RNA was isolated using the RNAiso plus reagent following the manufacturer’s instruction (Takara, Japan). For Southern blot analyses, samples of 5 µg total DNA were digested with the restriction enzymes AgeI and MluI for 12–16 h, separated by electrophoresis in 1% agarose gels, and transferred onto Hybond nylon membranes (GE Healthcare) by capillary blotting. A PCR product covering a portion of the psbZ coding region (You et al., 2019 (link)) was used as a hybridization probe.
For RNA gel blot analyses, RNA samples were denatured, separated in formaldehyde-containing 1% agarose gels and blotted onto Hybond nylon membranes (GE Healthcare). A PCR product generated by amplification of ACT cDNA with primer pair act-N-F/act-N-R served as probe to determine dsRNA amounts. The expression of potato plastid-encoded psbA gene served as internal control. The psbA gene-specific probe was synthesized using primer pair psbA-N-F/psbA-N-R (see Supplementary Table S2). The probe was labeled with the DIG-High Prime DNA Labeling and Detection Starter Kit II following the manufacturer’s instructions (Roche, USA).

The DNA labeling reaction mixture contained a buffer (50 mM Tris–HCl pH 7.6, 10 mM MgCl2, 5 mM of DTT, 0.1 mM spermidine), 10 U T4 polynucleotide kinase, 20 mCi of (γ-32P)ATP with an activity of 5000 Ci/mmol (Hartmann Analytic, Braunschweig, Germany) and 20 pmol of a DNA oligomer (Table S1). After an hour-long incubation at 37 °C, the 32P labelled products were purified using a G25 column (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). The radioactivity level of the labeled molecules was measured using a scintillation counter. The total RNA isolated from the different cultures was separated on 12% (w/v) polyacrylamide gels, electrotransferred onto Hybond-Nylon membranes (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA), crosslinked with UV light (120 mJ/cm2) and prehybridized in a 2xSSC, 1X Denhard solution for 1 h at 37 °C. Hybridization of 32P labelled DNA probes (20 × 106 cpm) was carried out at 42 °C overnight in PerfectHybTM Plus solution (Sigma). Then, the hybridization mixture was discarded, and the blot was washed in the same solution several times, until the radioactivity in the solution disappeared. Finally, the blots were analyzed using phosphor imaging screens and a FLA-5100 image analyzer with MultiGauge software (FujiFilm).

RNA Transfer and Crosslinking Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After the completion of gel electrophoresis, the acrylamide gels were stained with EtBr (0.05 µg/mL) for visualization using UVP Imager and/or Typhoon using EtBr filter. This was followed by pre-soaking the gels in either 1× MOPS (agarose gels) or 1× TBE buffer (acrylamide gels). RNA in the gels was transferred onto positively charged Hybond nylon membranes (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL USA) pre-soaked in the same buffer used for equilibration. Electroblotting was performed at 80 mA constant current for 1 h for agarose gels and 18 mA for 1 h for acrylamide gels, respectively. After the completion of the transfer, membranes were placed on pre-soaked filter papers with either 1× MOPS or 1× TBE buffers and first UV crosslinked at 700 µJ. This was followed by chemical crosslinking by EDC rather than baking, as described earlier [33 (link)]. Briefly, a filter paper soaked in a freshly prepared solution of EDC was placed on a plastic wrap and the UV-cross-linked membrane was placed upside down on the soaked filter paper and wrapped properly. This was followed by incubation at 60 °C for 2 h. After chemical crosslinking, the membranes were washed prior to pre-hybridization or dried and stored at −20 °C for later use.

Nuclear extracts were prepared as described above. Oligonucleotides corresponding to the STAT6 (5′-TGCCTTAGTCAACTTCCCAAGAACAGA-3′) and PPARγ (5′- GGAACTAGGTCAAAGGTCATCCCCT-3′) binding site consensus sequences were synthesized and end-labeled with biotin by Invitrogen (Invitrogen, Shanghai, China). EMSAs were performed using the LightShift chemiluminescent EMSA kit (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA). Briefly, 10 fmol of biotin-labeled, double strand probe were incubated for 20 minutes at room temperature in 20 μl of EMSA binding buffer containing 2.5% glycerol, 5 mM MgCl2, 50 ng/μl poly (dI-dC), 0.05% Nonidet P-40, and 6 μg of nuclear proteins. For competition EMSA, 200-fold (2 pmol) excess unlabeled, double strand probe was added to the binding reaction. The DNA-nuclear protein complexes were resolved by electrophoresis in 6% nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel in 0.5 × Tris-borate-EDTA (TBE) buffer at 100 V. Gels were then electroblotted onto Hybond nylon membranes (GE Healthcare, Freiburg, Germany) at 380 mA for 50 minutes. The membranes were then cross-linked for 15 minutes with the membrane face down on a transilluminator at 312 nm, and the biotinylated protein-DNA bands were detected with HRP-conjugated streptavidin using the chemiluminescent nucleic acid detection system.
