Myc-Che-1 has already been described [12 (
link), 27 (
link)]. pCI-HDAC 1 was a kind gift from Dr. Sartorelli, while pSG5 Large T (pSG5 SV40 LT) plasmid was a gift from William Hahn (Addgene plasmid #9053;
http://n2t.net/addgene:9053; RRID: Addgene_9053). Myc-Che-1 3S and pSG5 SV40 LT 3S were generated by in vitro mutagenesis using the
QuikChange site-directed Mutagenesis system (Agilent Technologies) following the manufacturer’s instructions. PCR reactions were achieved using the following primers:
Myc- Che-1 3S:
Forward 5′ - GCCCAATGCGGGAGGTGAGGAGATTGCTGGTGAAGATGATGAGC - 3′
Reverse 5′ - GCTCATCATCTTCACCAGCAATCTCCTCACCTCCCGCATTGGGC - 3′
pSG5 SV40 LT 3S:
Forward 5′ - AACCTGTTTTGCGCAGAAGAAATGCCAGCTGGTGATGATGAGGCT - 3′
Reverse 5′ - AGCCTCATCATCACCAGCTGGCATTTCTTCTGCGCAAAACAGGTT - 3′
All mutations were confirmed by sequencing realized by Eurofins Genomics.
Stealth siRNA oligonucleotides targeting Che-1 (siChe-1), CSNK2A (siCK2), control sequence (siControl) and custom Che-1 3’UTR (sense 5′-CCCGCCUUUAAACGCCACAAAUAAA-3′; antisense 5′-UUUAUUUGUGGCGUUUAAAGGCGGG-3′) were purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific.
TBB (4,5,6,7 – Tetrabromobenzotriazole) was purchased from SelleckChem.
Casein kinase II (CK2 - P60105) recombinant protein and
Adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP - P07565) were purchased from New England BioLabs.
