G1-arrested cells were released to S phase for 45 min and embedded into agarose plugs for PFGE analyses as previously described (Cremona et al., 2012 (link)). Briefly, plugs were treated with zymolyase (20T, MP Biomedicals), proteinase K, and lauroylsarcosine to permeabilize cells. Chromosomes were separated by 1% agarose (Bio-Rad) gels in 0.5× TBE buffer using the Bio-Rad CHEF-DR III PFGE system. Gel running conditions were 70–160 s switch time, 5.5 V/cm voltage gradient, and 106° angle for 15 h at 12°C. After electrophoresis, chromosomes were transferred to Hybond-XL nylon membranes (GE) for Southern blotting using an [α-32P]-dCTP-labeled rDNA probe. Autoradiographic signals were scanned by Typhoon FLA 9500 phosphoimager (GE), and rDNA replication efficiency was assessed by calculating the ratio of chromosome band signals to the corresponding well signals after adjusting for background signals. Quantification of chromosomal bands was performed using the ImageJ software.

DNA was extracted using the QIAamp DNA Blood Mini Kit (Qiagen, Manchester, UK). For telomere length analysis at the XpYp telomere, we used the single telomere length analysis (STELA) assay, as previously described [39 (link),44 (link)], Genomic DNA was solubilized and diluted in 10 mmol/L Tric-HCl (pH 7.5) to 10 ng/µL. Ten nanograms of DNA were further diluted with 1 µmol/L Telorette2 linker and 1 mM Tris-HCl to 250 pg/µL in a volume of 40 µL. Multiple polymerase chain reactions were conducted to test the DNA sample and were cycled in a Tetrad2 thermocycler (BioRad, Hertfordshire, UK) (22 cycles of 94 °C for 15 s, 65 °C for 30 s, 68 °C for 8 min). DNA fragments were resolved by 0.5% TAE agarose gel electrophoresis and detected by southern hybridization. The hybridized fragments were detected using a phosphorimaging with a Typhoon FLA 9500 phosphoimager (GE healthcare, Chalfont St Giles, UK). The molecular weights of the DNA fragments were calculated using the Phoretix ID quantifier (Nonlinear Dynamics, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK).

All transcription reactions, except the reusability reactions shown in Figure 5, were labeled with [α-32P]ATP (PerkinElmer). The gel showing reusability reactions in Figure 5 was stained with SYBR Gold Nucleic Acid Gel Stain (Invitrogen). All reactions were analyzed by 20% polyacrylamide (19:1 acrylamide:bisacrylamide) denaturing (7 M) urea gel electrophoresis. Gels labeled with radioactivity were dried and then imaged with a GE Typhoon FLA 9500 Phosphoimager. Gels labeled with SYBR Gold stain were imaged directly with a Bio-Rad Gel Doc Go Imaging System Blue Tray. Quantifications of gel lanes were performed using Fiji (63 (link)) software on raw TIF output.

The C-circle assay protocol was slightly modified from that performed in Henson et al. (19 (link)). Genomic DNA was purified and digested with AluI and MboI and cleaned by phenol-chloroform extraction and precipitation. DNA was mixed with 10 μl 0.2 mg/ml BSA (NEB), 0.1 % Tween, 1mM each dATP, dGTP, dTTP, 1x phi29 Buffer (NEB) and 7.5 U phi29 DNA polymerase (NEB). Reactions were incubated for 8 h at 30°C followed by 20 min at 65°C, diluted to 60 μl with 2XSSC and dot-blotted onto a nylon membrane (Amersham Hybond- N+, GE Healthcare) previously soaked in 2XSSC. After UV-crosslinking the membrane was hybridized with a P32 end-labeled (CCCTAA)4 oligonucleotide probe at 55°C for 16 h. The membrane was then washed (3 times with 4XSSC for 30 minutes at 55°C, 1 time with 4XSSC + 0.1% SDS, 30 min 55°C), exposed and scanned using a Typhoon FLA 9500 Phosphoimager (GE Healthcare) and analyzed using ImageQuant software.

The biochemical assays were performed and monitored using either fluorescently labeled ubiquitin (Ub*, * stands for fluorescein probe) or substrates (WBP2* or S-WBP2-1K*). In all UbV-treated assays, 10-fold molar ratio of UbV/E3 was used to saturate HECT E3 with UbV during the entire reaction time. All reacted samples were quenched by mixing with SDS sample loading buffer, separated by SDS-PAGE and analyzed based on fluorescent signals of Ub*, WBP2* or S-WBP2-1K*. A Typhoon FLA9500 Phosphoimager (GE Healthcare) was used to scan fluorescent gel images.

Fusion PCR was undertaken as described [36 (link)]. Three primers were used to amplify inter- and intra- allelic fusion events in the HCA2 model: 17p6, 21q1 and XpYpM. The PCR conditions were as follows: 94°C for 20 s; 62°C for 30 s; and 68°C for 8 min and repeated for 25 cycles.

Kinase assays were performed in total volumes of 10–30 μl, depending on the number of aliquots to be analyzed over time. 1 μM QseE’‐His10 was pre‐incubated in reaction buffer (50 mM Tris–HCl, pH 7.6, 200 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 5 mM MnCl2) for 5 min at 25°C in the absence or presence of 5 μM Strep‐RapZ. For analysis of QseE’‐His10 autophosphorylation, 10 μCi [γ‐32P]‐ATP (Hartmann Analytic) and 100 μM cold ATP were added and aliquots were removed at indicated times. To analyze phosphoryl‐group transfer from QseE’‐His10 to QseF‐His10, QseE’‐His10 was incubated with [γ‐32P]‐ATP/ATP for 10 min and subsequently 1 μM QseF‐His10 was added. Aliquots were removed at indicated times and mixed with 2 × SDS sample buffer to stop reactions. The proteins were separated by SDS–PAGE and subsequently analyzed by using a Typhoon FLA‐9500 phospho‐imager (GE Healthcare).

Proteins were purified or desalted into 20 mM HEPES pH 8.0, 200 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, and 30 nM recombinant APC/C (wild-type or with APC3Δloop) were mixed on ice for 30 minutes with 0.1 μM UBA1, 0.2 μM E2 (UBCH10 or UBE2S), 0.25 mg/ml BSA, substrate (0.25 μM CyclinBNTD* or 0.5 μM Ub-CyclinBNTD* or 0.125 μM Securin*, as indicated), coactivator (CDH1 concentrations ranging from 0.001 – 1 μM, or CDC20 ranging from 0.06 – 1 μM), 5 mM MgCl2 and 5 mM ATP. The mixes were equilibrated to room temperature for 10 minutes, and the reactions were initiated by adding 125 μM ubiquitin. The samples were quenched by mixing with SDS sample loading buffer, separated by SDS-PAGE, and were analyzed based on a fluorescein signal of CyclinBNTD*, Ub-CyclinBNTD* or Securin* using a Typhoon FLA 9500 Phosphoimager (GE Healthcare).

Oligonucleotide Radiolabeling and Northern Blot

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The oligonucleotides used are listed in Supplementary Table 1. Oligonucleotides (150 pmoles) were 5' 32 P-labeled with 20 µCi of γ-32 P ATP (3000 Ci/mmole; Hartmann Analytic) for 30 min at 37°C in 50 µl volumes with 20 units of T4 PNK (New England Biolabs) in the provided reaction buffer. Reactions were heat inactivated for 20 min at 65°C and the unincorporated radioactivity was eliminated with a G25 Illustra MicroSpin column (GE Healthcare) according to the manufacture's instructions. Labeling efficiency was determined by comparing the radioactivity of the recovered material with that retained on the column.
Blots were incubated with 15 pmoles of probes overnight at 42°C. Blots were washed two times at 42°C with 2X SSC buffer (Euromedex, Souffelweyersheim, France) with 0.1% SDS added, washed two times with 0.2X SSC buffer with 0.1% SDS, dried and then subjected to autoradiography with a BAS-MS imaging plate (Fujifilm) overnight. Exposures were revealed with a Typhoon FLA9500 phosphoimager (GE Healthcare).

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.
