Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Standard molecular weight markers were prepared by dephosphorylating 17 μg λ DNA-HindIII Digest (New England Biolabs N3012S) with 10 U Antarctic Phosphatase (New England Biolabs M0289S) in total volume of 40 μL for 1 h at 37°C. The phosphatase was then inactivated by incubation at 80°C for 10 min. Subsequently, 6.8 μg of dephosphorylated DNA was labeled with γ-[32P]-ATP using 40 units of T4 Polynucleotide Kinase (New England Biolabs M0201S) for 1 h at 37°C, in a total reaction volume of 40 μl. Unincorporated γ-[32P]-ATP was removed using Illustra MicroSpin G-50 columns (GE Healthcare) and 5 mM EDTA was added to the recovered sample.
For Figure 1D, end-labeled 3189 bp plasmid was prepared by digesting 4 μg plasmid DNA with 2 μL SmaI (Roche) in 1X CutSmart Buffer (New England Biolabs) in a 40 μL final reaction volume for 2 h at 25°C. The linearized plasmid was then column purified using the High Pure PCR Product Purification Kit (Roche) and then dephosphorylated and end-labeled with γ-[32P]-ATP, as described for standard molecular weight markers. Other labeled markers in Figure 1D were generated by PCR amplification using oligonucleotides 7272 – 7275 (see Table S2) and pTDK13 plasmid template. In each case, 50 μL PCR reactions were assembled in the presence of 33 nM α-[32P]-dCTP and the PCR products were purified over Illustra MicroSpin G-50 columns (GE Healthcare).

To obtain ADP-ribosylated ARTD1, H3 and H2B tails, and HMGB1, recombinant proteins were incubated in reaction buffer RB (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 4 mM MgCl2 and 250 μM dithiothreitol (DTT)) at a ratio 1:3 (ARTD1 to histone tail) with 100 nM [32P]NAD+ (Perkin Elmer) and 200 nM of double-stranded annealed 40 bp long oligomer (5ʹ-TGCGACAACGATGAGATTGCCACTACTTGAACCAGTGCGG-3ʹ) for 15 min at 37 °C. ADP-ribosylation was stopped by adding 10 μM PJ34.
Automodification of ARTD8 was carried out in RB with 150 nM [32P]NAD+ and 10 μM cold NAD+ for 1 h at 37 °C. The reaction was stopped by filtering through an Illustra MicroSpin G-50 column (GE Healthcare) according to the manufacturer’s manual.

The oligonucleotide sequences used in this study are listed in Table 1, and the DNA probes used in this study are listed in Figure 3. The labelling of the DNA probes was performed as previously described [38] . In brief, a 0.5 µM stock of the appropriate oligonucleotide was isotopically labelled at the 5′-end with 0.034 µM of [γ-32P] ATP (10 mCi/ml) (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA) and 10 units of T4 polynucleotide kinase (New England Biolabs). The oligonucleotide was then purified on an Illustra MicroSpin G-50 column (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ, USA) following the manufacturer's protocol. Each DNA substrate was annealed by heating 0.5 µM of the 32P-labeled oligonucleotide with a 0.4 µM solution of the appropriate unlabelled oligonucleotides from 10 uM stock solutions in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) containing 100 mM NaCl for 3 minutes at 100°C and allowing the reaction to cool to room temperature in 2.5–3 hours. The annealed DNA substrates were drop-dialyzed against 4 mL of 1× TE (10 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)) for 10 minutes using a 25 mm 0.025 µm nitrocellulose membrane disc (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), and the Holliday Junction DNA substrate was purified using the crush and soak method as previously described [39] (link).

DNA decoys in DNase/RNase free water were annealed by heating to 95 °C in a heating block for 5 minutes, followed by slow cooling to room temperature. To a microcentrifuge tube (1.7 mL) was added the annealed DNA decoy (50 pmol) and T4 polynucleotide kinase (PNK) buffer (5 μL of a 10X solution, Thermo Scientific). DNase/RNase-free H2O was added to yield a final volume of 40 μL. The reaction tube was placed into a shielded rack then [γ-32P]-ATP (5 μL; 6,000 Ci/mmol, Perkin Elmer) was added. PNK was diluted in DNase/RNase-free H2O (1:10) then added to the reaction (5 μL). The reaction was briefly mixed, centrifuged (to remove any material from cap), and then placed in a 37 °C heat block for 30 minutes. Heating to 70 °C for 30 minutes in the second heat block was then used to inactivate the kinase. The radioactive reaction mixture was transferred to an Illustra MicroSpin G-50 column (GE Healthcare, prepared according to vendor instructions) and centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 20 seconds to yield 32P-labeled oligonucleotides. The radioactivity of the oligonucleotides were quantified (counts/min/μL) by transferring an aliquot to an Eppendorf tube followed by analysis on a Beckman LS 6500 multi-purpose scintillation counter (dry counting).

In vitro ADP-ribosylation assays were performed based on previously described methods65 (link),66 (link). For auto-ADP-ribosylation assays recombinant ARTD1 (10 pmol) was incubated in reaction buffer (RB; 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 4 mM MgCl2, and 250 μM dithiothreitol (DTT)) with 100 μM NAD+ and 200 nM of double-stranded annealed 40 bp long oligomer (5′-TGCGACAACGATGAGATTGCCACTACTTGAACCAGTGCGG-3′, 5′-CCGCACTGGTTCAAGTAGTGGCAATCTCATCGTTGTCGCA-3′) for 15 min at 37 °C. Recombinant ARTD8cat was incubated in RB buffer with either 100 μM NAD+ or 200 nM [32P] NAD+ (Perkin Elmer) for 30 min at 37 °C. These reactions were stopped via the addition of SDS buffer or by filtering through an Illustra MicroSpin G-50 column (GE Healthcare), according to the manufacturer’s protocol. De-ADP-ribosylation assays were performed in RB buffer. For de-modification of ARTD1, the auto-modified recombinant proteins were incubated with 10 pmol PARG for 30 min at 37 °C. The hydrolysis activities of WT Af1521 or eAf1521 were tested by incubating auto-modified ARTD8cat with either 10 pmol of recombinant WT Af1521, or eAf1521 for 2 h at 4 °C or 37 °C. De-modification of auto-modified ARTD8cat was then visualized by SDS–PAGE and autoradiography. For generation of PAR chains, poly-ADP-ribosylated ARTD1 was digested using proteinase K at 42 °C for 1 h.

The following oligos were used for UVDE digestion of UV-induced TA photoproducts:
Forward Primer 5′-GCGTGTGCACGTATATATATACGCGCGTGTG-3′ and
Reverse Primer 5′Biotin-CACACGCGCGTATATATATACGTGCACACGC-5′.
Annealed oligos were labeled with [γ32P]ATP (Perkin Elmer) using T4 polynucleotide kinase (NEB, M0201L). The labeled primers were purified using Illustra Microspin G-50 column (GE healthcare) and 40 μL of the purified, labeled DNA was spotted onto glass coverslips as four spots (10 μl each) for each dose and exposed to UVC light using UV StratalinkerTM 1800. The spots were recovered from the coverslip and ethanol precipitated. The damaged DNA samples were digested with UVDE enzyme in a reaction buffer (pH 6.5) containing HEPES (20mM), NaCl (100mM), and MnCl2 (1mM) at 55þC for 1 hour. Digested DNA was then ethanol precipitated, washed and dissolved in 5 μL of deionized water. Formamide was added to the samples to a final concentration of 50% and heated at 80þC for 5 minutes and loaded on to a pre-run 15% denaturing polyacrylamide urea gel. The gel was run for 2 hours and 10 minutes. The gel was exposed to phosphor screen and the radioactivity signal was imaged using a Typhoon scanner (GE Healthcare). The TA lesion band intensity was quantified using ImageQuant TL software.

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.
