Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Xenopus egg extracts were prepared as described (18 (link)). Mock and CRL2Lrr1 immunodepletions were performed as previously described (7 (link),8 (link)). To monitor CMG ubiquitylation and unloading, as well as CRL2Lrr1 recruitment (Figure 4A), 45 ng of plasmid DNA was incubated in a high-speed supernatant of egg cytoplasm followed by addition of nucleoplasmic extract (NPE) in the presence or absence of 200 μM p97 inhibitor (p97i; NMS-873, Sigma #SML1128). The extracts were mock depleted, Lrr1 depleted or Lrr1 depleted and supplemented with ∼45 nM rCRL2Lrr1 or rCRL2Lrr1ΔPH. After 45 min, plasmids were pulled down as described previously, and the chromatin was subjected to western blotting (19 (link)). To assess CMG ubiquitylation in extracts lacking added DNA (Figure 4B), we monitored Mcm7 ubiquitylation following the addition of 15 nM rCMG into NPE in the presence of 45 μM His-ubiquitin and 180 μM p97i. Extracts were mock depleted, Lrr1 depleted or Lrr1 depleted and rescued with ∼65 nM rCRL2Lrr1 or rCRL2Lrr1ΔPH. After 40 min, His-ubiquitin was pulled down as previously described and the recovered material subjected to western blotting (7 (link)). Experiments were performed at least three times. A representative example is shown.

HEK293 and HEK293T cell lines were purchased from American Type Culture Collection. Several glioma stem-like cell lines derived from both primary (GSC923) and recurrent (GSC827, GSC604) glioblastoma tumors and normal murine neural stem cells (MNSC) were described previously31 (link). All cells were grown at 37 °C in 5% CO2. HEK293 cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Gibco), and the GSC and MNSC were cultured in NBE complete media31 (link). Chemical such as MG132, N-ethylmaleimide, NMS-873, cyclohexamide and ATRA were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Puromycin was from Life Sciences. Antibodies used in Western blots and immunoprecipitations included: RARA, RXRA, Sumo1, Sumo2, Ub, VCP from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, DDK from Origene, β-actin from Sigma-Aldrich, normal rabbit IgG and normal mouse IgG from Dako, and Histone H3 from Cell Signaling.

Xenopus Egg Extract DNA Replication

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Animal work performed at Harvard Medical School was approved by the Harvard Medical Area Standing Committee on Animals (HMA IACUC Study ID IS00000051-6, approved 10/23/2020). The institution has
an approved Animal Welfare Assurance (D16-00270) from the NIH Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare. Xenopus egg extracts were prepared as described in the protocol68 . For DNA replication, plasmids were licensed by incubation in high-speed supernatant of egg cytoplasm for 30 min at room temperature at a final concentration of 15 ng pKV45/µl extract (plasmid-pulldown assays) or 7.5 ng pBluescript II/ µl extract (chromatin immunoprecipitation assay). Replication was initiated by addition of two volumes of nucleoplasmic egg extract to licensing mixture. In all figures, the addition of nucleoplasmic egg extracts corresponds to the zero-minute time point. Where indicated, nucleoplasmic egg extracts were supplemented with p97i, NMS-873 (Sigma) or Culi, MLN4924 (Active Biochem), to a final concentration of 200 µM each and incubated for 5 min prior to initiation of DNA replication, unless otherwise indicated. Reactions were supplemented with approximately 140 nM recombinant FLAG-Ubxn7, 50–140 nM of recombinant FLAG-Faf1, and 80 nM recombinant Ufd1-Npl4.

Synchronizing and Enriching Mitotic Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HeLa cells were first synchronized in S phase by addition of thymidine (at a final concentration of 2 mM) for 24 h. S phase cells were washed with 1×PBS to remove excess thymidine and released into fresh media (DMEM/10% FBS) for 3 h. To arrest cells in prometaphase, released cells were treated with S-trityl-L-cysteine (Sigma, 164739) (at a final concentration of 5 μM) for 12–14 h. Finally, prometaphase cells were collected by vigorous pipetting, washed with 1×PBS, and used for downstream applications, including immunoprecipitation assays and/or Western blot analyses, or frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80°C for later use. For cell cycle studies, prometaphase cells were released into fresh media and collected at indicated time points. For drug inhibition studies, cells were released into media containing 2 μM carfilzomib (Selleck, PR-171), 20 μM (R)-MG132 (Cayman, 13697) and/or 10 μM NMS-873 (Sigma, SML1128) for indicated times. For depletion studies, HeLa cells were transfected with 40 nM of indicated siRNAs and a 1:400 dilution of RNAiMAX transfection reagent (Thermo Fisher, 13778150) 24 h prior to synchronization.
Mitotic enrichment of HEK 293Ts and H1s was achieved by adding STLC (at a final concentration of 5 μM) to the culture media for 14–16 h.

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.
