Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the RNAi knockdown of target genes, dsRNA of 500bp in length was prepared using the New England Biological T7 HiScribe kit (NEB) and purified using RNAzol (Sigma). Four wells in a 6-well plate were spotted with 15μg of dsRNA for each dsRNA target and 1×106 DL1 cells [12 (link)] from Drosophila melanogaster were added in 1 mL of serum free media (Gibco) and incubated for 1 hour at 27°C before the addition of 2mL media containing 10% FBS. These cells were then incubated for 60 hours at 27°C before harvesting. Total RNA was extracted from cells in three replicates of each series using the standard TRIzol extraction protocol (Invitrogen) and resuspended in water to a concentration of 500 μg/μL. The final well in each replicate was harvested using RIPA buffer for protein Western analysis of target protein knockdown verification.

Total RNA from human cells (~ 106 cells) was extracted using Trizol (Invitrogen, 15596026). Cells were collected and washed in 1xPBS prior to resuspension in 1ml Trizol. 250μl of chloroform was then added for protein extraction following RNA precipitation with isopropanol. RNA pellet was finally washed in 70% ethanol and resuspended in nuclease-free water (Ambion, AM9932). RNA levels were measured using a Biodrop and storage at −20°.
EU-labelled RNA was purified from total RNA extracted from G2, metaphase (M) or G1 arrested cells incubated with 0.25mM EU for 12 hours (G2 and M) or 2h (G1). For EU-RNAseq we previously removed the rRNA from 5μg total RNA using Ribo-Zero rRNA Removal Kit (Illumina) following the manual specifications. EU-labelled RNA was then recovered from depleted RNA (~ 500 ng) using the Click-iT RNA Capture Kit (Invitrogen, C10365). Renilla and Luciferase custom biotinylated probes were used as spike in controls in the EU-RNAseq experiment. Templates DNA were generated by PCR and in-vitro transcribed using the Hiscribe T7 kit (NEB E2030) including biotinylated UTP. Probes were purified by LiCl precipitation and added after the Click-iT reaction at 0.25ng/μl and 0.025 ng/μl final concentration respectively. Purified EU-RNA was used for either cDNA synthesis or library preparation (see below).

Base editor mRNA was prepared by T7 run-off in vitro transcription using a custom plasmid template encoding for a T7 promoter, a minimal 5′-UTR, the base editor reading frame, 2× HBB 3′-UTR and a 110–120 bp poly(A) sequence54 (link). The plasmid template was linearized by BbsI-HF restriction digestion (NEB, R3539) and purified by phenol–chloroform extraction (Sigma-Aldrich, P2069). mRNA IVT was performed using the NEB HiScribe T7 kit (E2040S) and co-transcriptionally capped with ARCA (3′-O-Me-m7G(5′)ppp(5′)G RNA cap analogue, NEB, S1411L) or CleanCap AG (Trilink, N-7113). Partial (75–85%) or total UTP substitution with N1-methyl-pseudo-UTP (Trilink, N-1103) or 5-methoxy-UTP (Trilink, N-1093) was performed as indicated. Dephosphorylation with QuickCIP (NEB, M0525L) or DNase treatment (NEB, M0303L) was added after IVT reaction (30 min at 37 °C). IVT mRNA was purified using the NEB Monarch RNA Clean up kit (T2050L) or sparQ PureMag magnetic beads (MagBio, 95196) and resuspended in RNase-free water. mRNA was quantified using the Nanodrop-8000 spectrophotometer and quality control was performed using the Agilent Fragment Analyzer with RNA Kit-15NT (Agilent, DNF-471).

Synthesis and Purification of Tagged RSV Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA gblocks (IDT DNA) were designed using the full-length nucleotide sequences of GFP and RSV M2-2 and RSV M2-1 (GenBank M74568.1). The sequences contained a 5’ untranslated region (UTR) with a Kozak sequence, a 3’ UTR derived from the mouse alpha globin sequence, and extensions that allow for Gibson assembly. RSV M2-2 mRNA contained a 5’ Myc tag sequence while RSV M2-1 contained a 5’ HA tag sequence (Table 2). Sequences were codon optimized and then inserted into a pMA-7 vector using Gibson assembly using New England Biolabs Builder. Plasmids were first linearized overnight at 37°C with Not-1 HF (New England Biolabs). They were then in vitro transcribed overnight at 37°C using a HiScribe T7 kit (New England Biolabs), capped, and polyadenylated enzymatically (Aldeveron). Nucleotides used were ATP, GTP, CTP and m1Y-5’-triphosphate (Trilink). mRNAs were then purified with a lithium chloride precipitation before treatment with Antarctic Phosphatase (New England Biolabs) for 2 h. They were then purified again before storage for use.

Plasmid templates were designed using Geneious software, and codon optimized and ordered from GenScript. Plasmids were linearized with Not‐I HF (New England Biolabs) overnight at 37 °C. Linearized templates were purified by sodium acetate (Thermo Fisher Scientific) precipitation and rehydrated with nuclease‐free water. In vitro transcription was performed overnight at 37 °C using a HiScribe T7 Kit (NEB) following the manufacturer's instructions (complete N1‐methyl‐pseudouridine modification). The resulting RNA was treated with DNase I (Aldevron) for 30 min and purified using lithium chloride precipitation (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The RNA was heat denatured at 65 °C for 10 min before capping with a Cap‐1 structure using guanylyl transferase and 2′‐O‐methyltransferase (Aldevron). mRNA was then purified by lithium chloride precipitation, treated with alkaline phosphatase (NEB), and purified again. mRNA concentration was measured using a Nanodrop. mRNA stock concentrations were 1–3 mg mL−1 and were stored at −80 °C until use. Purified mRNA products were analyzed by gel electrophoresis to ensure purity.

In vitro transcription was performed with the HiScribe T7 Kit (New England BioLabs), according to the manufacturer’s instructions using DNA templates containing a T7 promoter upstream of a template sequence harboring a single cytidine, as described previously.18 (link) To produce RNAs containing modified cytidines, CTP was replaced in the reaction mixture with 5mCTP, 5hmCTP, 5fCTP, or 5caCTP (5 mM). The synthesized RNA was mixed with 1× RNA denaturing RNA loading buffer and heated at 95 °C for 4 min, cooled on ice, loaded onto a 14% denaturing polyacrylamide gel, and run at 400 V (20 V/cm) for 5 h. Gel bands were excised, put in the crush-and-soak buffer at 4 °C overnight, and desalted to yield pure RNA for reaction-based sequencing analyses.

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.
