RfaH used in crystallization experiments and in vitro transcription assays was produced as described (Vassylyeva et al., 2006 (link)), as was RfaH used in NMR experiments (Burmann et al., 2012 (link)), and RNAP for in vitro transcription assays (Svetlov and Artsimovitch, 2015 (link)). All expression plasmids are listed in Table 2.
The purity was checked by SDS-PAGE, the absence of nucleic acids was checked by recording UV/Vis spectra on a Nanodrop ND-1000 spectrometer (PEQLAB, Erlangen, Germany). Concentrations were determined by measuring the absorbance at 280 nm (A280) in a 10 mm quartz cuvette (Hellma, Müllheim, Germany) on a Biospectrometer basic (Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany).

Pulmonary DNA was isolated using a Qiagen kit for the preparation of genomic DNA with slight modifications of the manufacturer’s instructions (Qiagen, Venlo, Netherlands). Briefly, 100 mg samples of frozen tissues were homogenized in 9.5 mL of the lysis buffer G2. The homogenate was digested with proteinase K (500 μL, 10 mg/mL) and DNAse-free RNAse A (20 μL, 10 mg/mL in water) for 2 h at 37°C. The mixture was cooled to 4°C and centrifuged at 10,000g for 10 min. The supernatant was loaded onto a Qiagen Genomic-tip 100/G previously equilibrated with 4 mL QBT-buffer. The column was washed twice with 7.5 mL QC solution. The DNA was eluted with 5 mL QF solution that was heated to 70°C, precipitated by adding 2.5 mL 2-propanol and separated by centrifugation at 15,000g for 15 min. The pellet was washed with 1 mL cold 70 % ethanol, centrifuged again and dissolved in 300 μL water. The DNA concentration was determined spectrophotometrically with a Nanodrop ND-1000 spectrometer (peqlab Biotechnologie, Erlangen, Germany).

In total, 16 samples (balanced for mixing group) were selected for subsequent analyses. Using 4 ml of blood, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated by centrifugation on a Histopaque (Sigma-Aldrich, Taufkirchen, Germany) density gradient. Total RNA was isolated from individual PBMC-samples using the column-based NucleoSpin RNA II Kit (MACHEREY-NAGEL, Düren, Germany). RNA integrity was checked by a 2100 Bioanalyser (Agilent) and agarose gels containing ethidium bromide. RNA concentration was measured by a NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrometer (PEQLAB, Erlangen, Germany). The absence of genomic DNA was checked by a PCR amplification of the porcine GAPDH gene (forward primer 5’-AAGCAGGGATGATGTTCTGG-3’; reverse primer 5’-ATGCCTCCTGTACCACCAAC-3’). All samples were stored at -80°C until downstream analyses was performed. For the microarray experiments individual biotin-labelled cRNA was synthesized by the GeneChip 3’ Express Kit (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA). According to the manufacturer’s protocol the cRNA was fragmented and hybridized on Affymetrix GeneChip porcine 24 k Arrays.

Total RNA was isolated using TRI Reagent per manufacturer’s directions (Sigma-Aldrich, Taufkirchen, Germany), then treated with DNase and purified with the column-based NucleoSpin RNA II-Kit (Macherey-Nagel, Düren, Germany). RNA integrity was determined by visualization on a 1% agarose gel containing ethidium bromide and the concentration was measured using the NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrometer (PEQLAB, Erlangen, Germany). DNA contamination was assessed by PCR amplification of the porcine RPL32 gene (forward primer: 5’-AGCCCAAGATCGTCAAAAAG-3′; reverse primer: 5’-TGTTGCTCCCATAACCAATG-3′). All RNA samples were stored at − 80 °C.
Each RNA sample was transcribed to DNA using the Ambion WT Expression Kit (Ambion, Austin, TX, USA). The DNA preparations were fragmented and labelled with the WT Terminal Labeling Kit (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA). DNA preparations were hybridized on genome-wide snowball arrays (Affymetrix), which were invented for genome-wide analysis of the pig transcriptome [22 (link)]. Raw data was generated with Affymetrix GCOS 1.1.1 software and deposited in a MIAME-compliant database [23 (link)], the National Center for Biotechnology Information Gene Expression Omnibus (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo; accession number: GSE94448).

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.
