The filter-binding assay was performed as described previously (Rio 2012 (link)). Of note, 62.4 pmol of purified RNA was 5′-end labeled with 5 µCi [γ-32P] ATP by T4 polynucleotide kinase (New England Biolabs) in nuclease-free buffer at 37°C for 1 h. The reaction was stopped by incubating at 70°C for 10 min. Labelled RNA was purified by mini Quick Spin Oligo Columns (Roche). The purified oligonucleotides were then heated at 95°C for 10 min and cooled down for 30 min. Different concentrations of protein were titrated to a constant amount of 50 nM CAG72 RNA in a final volume of 50 µL and incubated at room temperature for 1 h in binding buffer consisting of 10 mM Tris 7.5, 50 mM KCl, 750 µM MgCl2, 100 µM EDTA, 5% glycerol, 600 µM dithiothreitol, 0.1 mg/mL tRNA, and 40 µg/mL BSA. Nitrocellulose (0.45 µm pore size, Bio-Rad) and nylon filter (Roche) were presoaked in wash buffer 10 mM Tris 7.5, 50 mM KCl, and 1 mM dithiothreitol for 2 h. Both filters, Nitrocellulose on top and nylon filter at the bottom, were placed into a dot-blot apparatus (Bio-Rad). The wells were washed once and vacuum was applied before the samples were loaded. The wells were washed eight times with 100 µL washing buffer after samples were loaded. The Nitrocellulose filters were analyzed using auto-radiography to measure the retained radiolabeled RNA on the Nitrocellulose filter.

Samples were first run on an SDS-PAGE gel as above. Then, the gel was transferred onto nitrocellulose (0.45 μM; Bio-Rad) by removing from its case and placing in a sandwich of gel and nitrocellulose surrounded by filter papers in transfer buffer (Tris base [0.025 M], glycine [0.192 M], 1% SDS [pH 8.6], and 20% methanol). The sandwich was then run in an XCell II Blot Module (Invitrogen) at 100 V for 1 hr. After transfer, the nitrocellulose was blocked by placing in TBS (50 mM Tris and 150 mM NaCl [pH 7.6]) + 3% BSA at 4°C, overnight, with shaking.
Following blocking, the anti-His HRP detection antibody was added at RT for 2 hr, at a dilution of 1:5,000 in blocking buffer. This was then washed off with 3 × 5-min washes with TBS + 0.1% Tween20, before finally placing in TBS. Signals were then developed for imaging by adding enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) reagent (Clarity Western ECL reagent, Bio-Rad). Images were captured using a Gel Doc (Bio-Rad).

Equal amounts of protein (in 2× Laemmli buffer) prepared from heart, liver and kidney lysates of DIC treated animals were subjected to electrophoresis on 4–20% Criterion polyacrylamide gels (Bio-Rad) under reducing conditions and transferred to Nitrocellulose (Bio-Rad). Total protein for normalization of Western blots was obtained by either staining Nitrocellulose membranes with Ponceau S or by imaging in stain-free gels (Bio-Rad) [32 (link)]. Blocking of the membrane was performed for 1h with 3% nonfat dry milk (NFM) in TBS, pH 7.4 containing 0.05% (w/v) Tween 20 (TTBS). The membranes were washed three times in TTBS and probed overnight at 4°C in 1% NFM with primary antibodies: mouse anti-Rpt6 (1:1000, Enzo), and anti-PSMA6 (1:10,000, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, # ab109377), and anti-ubiquitin (1:2500, Life Sensors, VU-101). The membranes were then incubated for 1h at room temperature with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated rabbit-anti-mouse or goat anti-rabbit IgG in 1% NFM (1:40000, Sigma, St. Louis). Detection of the tagged secondary antibody was done using ECL detection kit (Westar Supernova, Cyanagen). Images were obtained by the ChemiDoc MP (Bio-Rad) controlled by Image Lab 5.0 (Bio-Rad). The quantitation of blots was performed using Image Lab 5.0.

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.
