For ribosome fractionation, cytoplasmic extracts from HEK293T cells were prepared as already described13 (link). For each sample 1 mg of extract was layered on a 10–50% sucrose gradient containing 20 mM Tris pH 7.6; 80 mM NaCl; 5 mM MgCl2; 1 mM DTT. The gradients were run in an SW41 Beckman rotor at 220,672 g for 140 min at 4 °C. Following centrifugation gradients were fractionated. Acquisition of the profiles was obtained using the UA6 UV/VIS detector from ISCO.

Polysome Profiling: Ribosomal Subunit Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Polysome profiling was performed following the protocols described in (19 ,20 (link)). To obtain the cytoplasmic lysates, cells were treated with cycloheximide (10 μg ml−1) for 3–4 min and then lysed in 300 μl of cold hypotonic lysis buffer (19 ). To remove nuclei, mitochondria and cellular debris, the lysates were centrifuged at 4°C for 5 min at 20 000 g. To separate ribosomal subunits, ribosomes and polysomes from other cytoplasmic molecules, the supernatant was loaded on a 10–40% (w/v) sucrose gradient and centrifuged for 1 h 30 min at 260 000 g at 4°C in a SW41 rotor using a Beckman Optima LE-80 Ultracentrifuge. Twelve 1 ml fractions were collected and the absorbance at 254 nm was monitored with the UA-6 UV/VIS detector (Teledyne Isco). RNA was purified fraction by fraction using the phenol/chloroform extraction method described in (21 (link)). The retro-transcription reaction was performed using the same volume of RNA for all polysomal fractions. The co-sedimentation profile of mRNAs was obtained by calculating the percentage (or fraction) of mRNAs in each fraction by qPCR as described in (22 (link)).

All buffers were described in [39 (link)] and all steps performed at 4°C. Briefly, 1 to 2 g of frozen powder from non-treated (22°C), heat treated (37°C for 5 h and 24 h) and recovered (R22°C for 5 h and 24 h) seedlings were suspended in 4 mL of PEB, incubated on ice for 30 min and centrifuged 15 min at 16,000 g to remove debris. Samples were then filtered on 0.2 µM filters (Sarsted), loaded on 8 mL sucrose cushions, and centrifuged in a Beckman SW41 rotor for 18 h at 35,000 rpm. Pellets were re-suspended in 1 mL of RB and kept on ice for 30 min. A short centrifugation (2 min at 5,000 g) was performed to remove the last debris. Finally, 1 mL of supernatant was layered onto 9 mL linear 15–60% sucrose gradients and centrifuged at 38,000 rpm for 6h30. Gradients were fractionated using the Type 11 Optical Unit (Teledyne ISCO) system and a UA-6 UV/VIS Detector (Teledyne ISCO) at 254 nm. Values and ratios for 40S and 60S/80S peaks are available in Table S4.

Lysates were run on 15–55% sucrose gradients containing 25 mM Tris-HCl, 25 mM NaCl and 5 mM MgCl2. Gradients were centrifuged at 28,000 rpm for 7–8 hours using a Beckman L8-M ultracentrifuge. The gradients were then broken down using an ISCO density gradient fractionator, retriever and UA-6 UV/Vis detector (ISCO).

Purification of Human Ribosomal Subunits

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Preparation of small (40S) and large (60S) human ribosomal subunits was adapted from refs. 45 (link) and 73 . Specific deviations implemented for the purification of polysome fractions from human tissue culture are described here. Cell pellets were resuspended in lysis buffer [20 mM Tris HCl (pH 7.5), 2.5 mM MgCl2, 10 mM KCl, and 1 mM freshly prepared DTT] with the RNase inhibitor RNase Out (Invitrogen), EDTA-free Halt Protease Inhibitor (Thermo Scientific), and cycloheximide (Sigma) at 100 μg/mL (∼350 µM). The solution was incubated on ice for 10 min before centrifugation in a Microfuge 22R Refrigerated Centrifuge (Beckman Coulter) at 14,000 rpm for 10 min at 4 °C to pellet cell debris. The supernatant was loaded onto precooled 10–50% sucrose density gradients and spun at 35,000 rpm for 3 h at 4 °C in an Optima l-100 XP ultracentrifuge (Beckman Coulter). The gradients were then fractionated using a BR-186-1 Fractionator and a UA-6 UV/Vis detector (Teledyne Isco). Fractions corresponding to polysomes were collected and subsequently pelleted and dissociated into subunits according to ref. 73 . Pelleted subunits were resuspended with storage buffer [30 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 15 mM MgCl2, 50 mM NH4Cl, 2 mM spermidine, 5 mM putrescine, 1 mM DTT, and 6% sucrose] for stable, long-term storage in liquid nitrogen.

Purification of NAADP Derivatives

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NAADP derivatives can be separated from NADP, ADP-ribose phosphate, and other nucleotides by anion exchange chromatography on DEAE cellulose. DE-52 cellulose was slurry packed into glass Bio-Rad Econo-Columns (2.5 × 50 cm) to form a resin bed approximately 42 cm high. Water (100 mL) was passed through the column to ensure the pH of the effluent from the column was neutral. The dinucleotide mixture was applied to the column as a dilute solution at pH 7.5, and washed into the bed with 10–20 mL of distilled water. The separation was developed by the application of a linear gradient formed between water (350 mL) and 0.6 M NH4HCO3 (350 mL). A flow rate of about 1–2 mL/min is achieved using a peristaltic pump (Teledyne-Isco, TRIS) to produce a slight positive pressure. The separation allows purification of compounds based on charge and NAADP derivatives usually elute into the middle of the gradient, into approximately 320 mM NH4HCO3. Fractions were collected using an automatic fraction collector (Teledyne- Isco, Retreiver 500, 200 drops/tube), and the dinucleotides detected by their UV absorbance (ISCO UA-6 UV/Vis Detector). UV absorbing peaks were combined, frozen, and lyophilized. Repeated lyophilization of the sample from water ensures complete removal of volatile NH4HCO3, leaving pure, salt free dinucleotide.

Human lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) from control (CTRL4) and patient (F433, F446) samples were used for polysome profiling. Approximately 2x107 cells were incubated in RPMI medium with 100 µg/ml cycloheximide for 5 minutes at 37°C 5% CO2, followed by a wash in 1 x PBS containing 100 µg/ml cycloheximide. Cells were collected by centrifugation at 200 x g for 5 minutes at 4°C and re-suspended in 425 µl hypotonic buffer (Hypotonic buffer: (5 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 2.5 mM MgCl2, 1.5 mM KCl and 1x protease inhibitor cocktail-EDTA-free). The re-suspended cell mixture was supplemented with 5 μl of 10 mg/ml cycloheximide, 1 μl of 1M DTT and 100 units RNasin. The cell mixture was incubated on ice for 10 minutes followed by 5 second vortex. The mixture was further supplemented with 25 μl of 10% Triton X-100 and 25 μl of 10% sodium deoxycholate, and vortexed again for 5 seconds. To pellet debris the lysates were centrifuged at 16,000 x g for 7 min at 4°C and the supernatant transferred to a new pre-chilled tube. The OD at 260 nm was measured for all lysates and adjusted so that all samples contained the same OD. Lysates were loaded onto sucrose gradients (15-50%) and centrifuged for 2.5 hrs at 40,000 rpm. Polysome profiles were recorded using the Isco UA-6 UV/Vis detector.

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.
