De-novo Protein Synthesis Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the analysis of de-novo protein synthesis, we collect equal number of radiolabeled cells and prepared two aliquots with equal volumes of shCTR and shWRN cells extracts for analyses by 10% PAA gels. One of the PAA gels was used for Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) staining (loading control) while the second was used for 35 S-met/cys measurement. Both gels were vacuum-dried, exposed to a phosphoscreen and developed using a Pharos FX molecular imager (BIO-RAD). The data were plotted using Graph Pad Prism (GraphPad Prism, RRID:SCR_002798) and the signi cance determine by Student´s t-test of three independent samples. Immunoprecipitation of 35 S-met/cys labeled proteins Extracts derived from 35 S-met/cys labeled cells samples were subjected to immunoprecipitation assay. To this end, we used the same concentration of speci c antibodies against G6PD, Ku70 and Tubulin. Reactions were incubated overnight at 4 °C in a roller and the immunocomplexes were captured using Protein A/G PLUS-Agarose (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-2003,) following the manufacturer's instructions. The immunoprecipitated complexes were resolved in 10% PAA and stained with CBB followed by vacuum drying. Lastly, the gels were scanned to visualize IgG and then exposed to Phosphoscreen and imaged using a Pharos FX molecular imager (BIO-RAD).

3Dpol was a gift from P. Gong (Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan, China). The assay was performed as described previously (40 (link)). P15 (300 nM) and template RNA (600 nM) were annealed in a reaction buffer [50 mM Hepes, 20 mM NaCl, 1.0 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, and 4 mM DTT (pH 7.0) at 25°C] after heating at 85°C for 2.0 min and slowly cooled to 4°C. Subsequently, NTPs (final concentration, 200 μM) and 3Dpol (0.02 mg/reaction) were added, and the reactions were performed at 33°C for 20 min. The reactions were stopped after adding an equal volume of stop buffer (95% formamide) and heated at 90°C for 4.0 min. The products were loaded and separated on 20% denaturing polyacrylamide gels. Finally, the gels were scanned by a Pharos FX Molecular Imager (Bio-Rad) operated in fluorescence mode.

Cellular dNTP levels were determined by a single nucleotide RT incorporation assay as previously described (Diamond et al., 2004 (link)). Four distinct 19-mer DNA templates, each with a distinct nucleotide (N) at the 5′ end (5′-NTGGCGCCCGAACAGGGAC-3′), were separately annealed to an 18-mer primer (5′-GTCCCTGTTCGGGCGCCA-3), 32P-labelled at its 5′ end. Reactions contained 200 fmol template/primer, 4 μL of purified RT (HIV-1 HXB2), 25 mM Tris–HCl, pH 8.0, 2 mM dithiothreitol, 100 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, and 10 μM oligo(dT), and cellular dNTP extracts (diluted to be within linear range of the assay, 2–50%) in a final volume of 20 μL/reaction. Reactions were incubated at 37°C for 5 min and then quenched with 10 μL of 40 mM EDTA and 99% (vol/vol) formamide at 95°C for 2 min. The reactions were resolved on a 14% urea-PAGE gel (AmericanBio, Inc.) and analyzed using Pharos FX molecular imager (Biorad). The images were analyzed using ImageLab software.

Quantitative Mutation Detection by ACB-PCR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Following ACB‐PCR, 10 µl of 6× ficoll loading buffer/dye were added to each 50 µl reaction, and 10 µl of each ACB‐PCR product were analyzed on 8% nondenaturing, polyacrylamide gels. A PharosFX Molecular Imager with an external blue laser (Bio‐Rad) was used to visualize the fluorescent ACB‐PCR products. Quantity One software (Bio‐Rad), with a locally averaged background correction, was used to quantify the pixel intensities of the correct‐sized bands. For the PIK3CA E545K, log‐log plots relating MF to fluorescence were constructed and fit with a power function. For the PIK3CA H1047R, KRAS G12D, and G12V mutations, log‐linear plots relating MF to fluorescence were constructed and fit with a logarithmic function. Using the function of the standard curve and the pixel intensities of the ACB‐PCR products, the MF (ratio of mutant to wild‐type sequence) of each unknown sample was calculated.

An HIV-1 RT primer extension assay was performed as previously described with slight modifications [53 (link)]. A 5′ 32P-labeled 17-mer DNA primer (5′-CGCGCCGAATTCCCGCT-3′) was annealed to a 40-mer RNA template (5′-AAGCUUGGCUGCAGAAUAUUGCUAGCGGGAAUUCGGCGCG-3′) in the presence of 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM Tris–HCl (pH 8.0) and 1 mM EDTA. 20 µL Reaction mixtures contained 10 nM template-primer, 4 µL of purified HIV-1 RT, 5 µM or 50 nM of all four dNTPs (ThermoScientific), 12.5 mM Tris–HCl (pH 7.5), 12.5 mM NaCl, 2.5 mM MgCl2 and 20 µM oligo(dT). Reactions were initiated upon addition of RT and incubated at 37 °C for 1 h (for Fig. 3b) and 5 min (for Fig. 3d). Reactions were terminated with 10 µL of 40 mM EDTA, 99 % formamide and the products were resolved on a 14 % urea-PAGE gel (American Bio Sequel NE reagent) and imaged using Pharos FX molecular imager (Biorad) and analyzed using ImageLab 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.
