Purified GST-HuD and His-ZBP1 proteins were probed with Dynabead Protein G (Life Technologies) conjugated with anti-GST and anti-His antibody (Life technologies). Beads conjugated with mouse IgG were used to see the background binding. Beads were washed with binding buffer (Promega) and incubated with 1 μg of total RNA isolated from rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) in binding buffer (10 mM HEPES, 3 mM MgCl2, 40 mM KCl, 1 mM DTT, 400 U of RNaseOUT™ and 5% glycerol) at 4°C for 30 min. After washing, beads were incubated in TRIzol (Life Technologies) and extracted by phenol–chloroform to isolate RNA. RNA was precipitated with ethanol using a glycogen carrier.

To monitor promoter regulation, reporter chimeras with YFP-Venus were built. As YFP seems to be a very stable protein in M. pneumoniae, gene expression was followed by retro-transcription (RT) followed by real time or quantitative PCR (qPCR). Briefly, RNA was purified as above, and 1 μg was hybridized to 2 μg random hexamers (Invtrogen) by heating to 65°C for 5 min and quick chilling on ice in a 11 μl total volume. Retrotranscription was performed by adding 4 μl 5X first-strand buffer, 2 μl 0.1 M DTT, 1 μl RNase OUT (40 units/μl, Promega), 1 μl 10 mM dNTP mix, and 1 μl SuperScript II RT (200 units, Invitrogen), and incubating for 50 min at 42°C before inactivation at 70°C for 15 min. A 2x GoTaq qPCR mastermix was used (Promega) with 0.5 ng cDNA per 10 μl reaction and 0.5 μM oligos, and run on a Lightcycler 480 (Roche). Oligonucleotides can be found in Online Table 3. Ribosomal RNA (16S) was used as a reference.

For RNA isolation, cells were washed twice in 1X phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and placed on ice. To each culture dish, 1mL of TRIzol (Invitrogen) was added onto the cell monolayer, the monolayer homogenised, and samples stored at −80°C for at least 24 hours. RNA was isolated using the Invitrogen TRIzol Extraction protocol and RNeasy MiniKit (Qiagen, Australia) for RNA clean up. The quality and quantity of isolated RNA was assessed using a Nanodrop (Thermo Scientific, Australia). For conversion to cDNA, 250ng of RNA was reverse transcribed using 250U Superscript III, 2mM DTT, 1× First Strand buffer (Invitrogen, Australia), 300ng random hexamers (Promega, Australia), 500μM dNTPs (NEB, Australia), and 100U RNaseOUT (Promega) in a 50μL reaction. Resulting cDNA was diluted to a working concentration of 40ng/μL.

In vitro Transcription and Labeling of pri-miRNAs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pri-miR157c and pri-miR171b were transcribed in vitro from plasmids containing a genomic copy of each MIRNA with T7 RNA polymerase. Before the transcription, primers containing the T7 RNA promoter on the 5′end and complementary to MIR157c and MIR171b were used for a PCR reaction. The expected PCR products were purified from a 2% (w/v) agarose gel. The transcription reaction was done in a two-step protocol. An initial mix of 10 μl template DNA (∼900 ng/μl), 4 μl T7 RNA polymerase buffer and 6 μl DEPC treated water was heated at 95°C for 2 min and then left for 15 min at room temperature. After that, a second mix was composed of the following: 20 μl 100 mM NTP each, 2.5 μl RNase Out (Promega), 3 μl T7 RNA polymerase (60 U, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and 38.5 μl DPEC treated water was added. The transcription reaction was carried out for 5 h at 37°C. The transcription products were purified from a denaturing 6% (w/v) polyacrylamide gel and precipitated (Tris 0.01 M pH 8, EDTA 0.001 M pH 8, NaCl 0.3 M and ethanol). 100 pmol of pri-miR157c and pri-miR171b transcript were 5′-end-labeled with 32P-γ-ATP (10 μCi/μl), using T4 polynucleotide kinase (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The reaction product were purified from a denaturing 8% (w/v) polyacrylamide gel using autoradiography and precipitated as described below.

To purify p62-gels from Huh-1 cells, we modified and used a method for purification of P-body in cells that was developed by elsewhere71 (link). Briefly, GFP-tagged p62 was expressed into Huh-1 cells. Twenty-four hour after transfection, the cells were suspended with ice-cold lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA) containing 65 U/mL RNasin® Ribonuclease Inhibitors (Promega) and EDTA-free Protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche) and then lysed by passing 20 times through a 27Gx3/4. The lysates were incubated on ice for 20 min and then centrifuged at 200 × g for 5 min at 4 °C to delete nuclei. The resultant supernatants were supplemented with 10 mM MgSO4 and 1 mM CaCl2 and treated with 4 U/mL of RQ1 DNase (Promega) for 30 min at RT. Thereafter, the mixtures were spun at 10,000 × g for 7 min at 4 °C, and pellets were resuspended into 10 mL of lysis buffer with 80 Units of RNaseOut (Promega). From this fraction, p62-bodies were sorted on BD FACSAria™ II Cell Sorter with BD FACSDiva software v8.0 (BD BioSciences). Particles were detected according to their Forward-scattered light (FSC) and their green fluorescence using the 488 nm excitation laser and the 526/52 band pass filter.

The extracted RNA was reverse transcribed using the Superscript III First Strand Synthesis SuperMix (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. First, 11.5 µL aliquots of RNA were incubated together with 250 ng random hexamers (Promega, WI, USA) and 0.83 mmol/L (final concentration) dNTP (Finnzymes, Espoo, Finland) at 65 °C for 5 min. Thereafter the reactions were cooled on ice for 1 min followed by the reverse transcription reaction when 4 µL 5× First strand buffer, 40 U DTT and 200 U Superscript III enzyme were added. The RNA was protected from degradation by addition of 40 U recombinant RNase inhibitor RNaseOut (Promega, WI, USA). The reactions were incubated at 25 °C for 5 min, 50 °C for 1 h and finally inactivated at 70 °C for 15 min.

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.
