Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
E. coli MG1655 was obtained from the ATCC. MG1655 ΔnudC:Kan was previously reported (Bird et al. 2016 (link)). E. coli MG1655 or MG1655 ΔnudC:Kan cells were grown overnight and then back diluted 1:100 in 25 mL LB (10 g Bacto-tryptone, 5 g Bacto-yeast extract and 10 g NaCl per liter) containing 25 µg mL–1 kanamycin (only for the ΔnudC:Kan strain) in 125 mL flasks (Bellco). Cultures were shaken at 220 rpm at 37°C. When cell density reached an OD600 ∼ 3.4 (∼8 h), 5 mL of the cell suspension was centrifuged (1 min, 10,000g at room temperature) to collect cells, supernatants were removed, and cell pellets were rapidly frozen on dry ice. To extract total RNA, frozen pellets were resuspended in 1 ml of TRI Reagent solution (Molecular Research Center). Samples were incubated at 70°C for 10 min and then centrifuged (10 min, 21,000g, 4°C) to remove insoluble material. The supernatant was transferred to a fresh tube and 200 µL of chloroform was added, samples were mixed by vortexing, and then centrifuged (10 min, 21,000g, 4°C). The aqueous phase was transferred to a fresh tube, extracted with acid phenol:chloroform twice (Ambion), and RNA transcripts were recovered by ethanol precipitation, washed with 75% ethanol at 4°C and resuspended in RNase free water (Ambion).

Total RNA was extracted from fresh liver tissues, with 5 biological replicates per group. Time of tissue collection was standardized over a 4-hour period, with necropsies starting at 8 AM local time. The left lateral lobe was rapidly removed, rinsed with phosphate buffered saline, immediately homogenized in Trizol (Thermo Fisher Scientific) using a Kimble motorized pellet pestle, and phase separation was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The Trizol aqueous phase was then purified using Acid Phenol:Chloroform (Ambion) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. An equal volume of 50% ethanol was added to the aqueous layer and the RNA was purified using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) with RNase-Free DNase treatment (Qiagen), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. RNA integrity was assessed using the Agilent Bioanalyzer with the RNA 600 Pico Kit (Agilent). The RNA Integrity Number (RIN) for total RNA samples ranged from 9.3 to 9.7.

Human sperm RNA was isolated using the mirVana miRNA isolation Kit (Life Technologies, Waltham, MA) following the manufacturer’s instructions. The sperm pellet was resuspended in mirVana lysis buffer and placed on a disruptor shaker for 5 minutes at room temperature. The completely lysed sperm samples, assessed by microscopic examination, were subjected to the mirVana miRNA isolation protocol. The lysate was then subjected to organic phase separation using acid-phenol chloroform, pH 4.5 (Ambion, Naugatuck, CT), and RNA was isolated from the aqueous phase according to the mirVana kit instructions. Some human sperm RNA samples were split into two fractions, large RNA and small RNA. Sperm RNA samples were cleaned up by ethanol precipitation protocol and resuspended in an appropriate volume of nuclease free water as previously described.

Total RNA was extracted from ovaries of 1- to 2-day-old females, using TRI reagent (Sigma). Samples were then treated with Turbo DNase (Ambion) and the RNA was precipitated using acid phenol: chloroform (Ambion). cDNA was synthesized from 2 µg RNA using Maxima H Minus First Strand cDNA synthesis kit (Thermo Scientific). Random hexamers were used for reverse transcription, and to enrich rp49 cDNA a specific RT primer (5′-TTGGAGGAGACGCCG-3′) was added to the mixture. The resulting cDNA was used for RT-qPCR using HeT-A-1, 18S rRNA and pre-rp49 primers described by (Zhang et al., 2012 (link)). RT-qPCR was performed in a CFX96 Real-Time machine (Bio-Rad) using DyNAmo Flash SYBR Green (ThermoScientific). The expression level of HeT-A was quantified relative to 18S rRNA and pre-rp49. A minimum of three biological replicates were tested for each genotype. The graph shows the average and the error bars indicate the standard error of the mean (SEM).

The shyB transcription start site was identified with 5′-rapid amplification of cDNA ends (5′-RACE). To obtain a shyB transcript, the Δzur mutant was grown in LB at 37°C until cells reached mid-log phase (optical density at 600 nm [OD600], 0.5), and RNA was extracted using TRIzol reagent and acid-phenol-chloroform (Ambion). DNA contamination was removed through two RQ1 DNase (Promega) treatments and additional acid-phenol-chloroform extractions. cDNA synthesis was performed with MultiScribe reverse transcriptase (Thermo Fisher) and a shyB-specific primer (SM270). cDNA was column purified and treated with terminal transferase (New England BioLabs) to add a homopolymeric cytosine tail to the 3′ end. The cDNA was amplified through two rounds of touchdown PCR with a second gene-specific primer (SM271) and the anchored abridged primer (Thermo Fisher). The PCR product was Sanger sequenced using primer SM271.

Two micromolars purified recombinant Cas6 was incubated with 1–5 nM [γ-32P] ATP-labelled RNA (CD, AB or ncRNA60) at 60°C in nuclease reaction (NR) buffer (20 mM NaH2PO4/Na2HPO pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM dithiothreitol). This buffer supported a higher Cas6 activity than that reported previously (14 (link)). To stop the reaction, aliquots of 10 μl were quenched by addition to 30 μl acid phenol/chloroform (Ambion), vortexed briefly and centrifuged at 15 000 × g for 1 min. Five microlitres of the upper aqueous phase was removed and mixed 1:1 with formamide. Samples were heated at 95°C for 2 min and loaded onto a pre-run 20% denaturing polyacrylamide gel (20% acrylamide, 8 M urea, 1× Tris-borate-EDTA (TBE)) then electrophoresed at 80 W for 90 min in 1× TBE running buffer. Following electrophoresis, gels were scanned by phosphorimaging and analysed using Fuji Imagegauge software as described previously (24 (link)).

Thirty-microgram of total RNA was treated with DNase Ⅰ (Takara Bio, Japan) and S1 nuclease (Takara Bio, Japan) and separated on 1% agarose gel by gel electrophoresis. Purifying defective interfering RNA from agarose gel was conducted by repeated cycles of freezing in liquid nitrogen and thawing in a 42 °C water bath. The aqueous phase was obtained with 1:1 (v:v) acid-phenol:chloroform (Ambion, USA). dsRNAs in the aqueous phase were recovered by ethanol precipitation and centrifugation. The obtained dsRNA pellet was suspended in DEPC-water. cDNA was synthesized using GoScriptTM reverse transcriptase (Promega, USA) with random hexamer or primer mixture, including 3′-UTR sequences of each FgV2 RNA. cDNA was amplified by PCR with a random or virus-specific primer set for the UTR of each FgV2 RNA. Primer sets are listed in Table S2. PCR product was cloned to pGEM-T easy vector (Promega, USA), and the sequence was analyzed by Macrogen (Seoul, South Korea). Sequences of defective interfering RNA were aligned with FgV2 RNAs using SeqMan software (DNASTAR, Madison, WI, USA)

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.
