RNA immunoprecipitation was performed as described previously,11 and magnetic beads were conjugated with anti‐HNRNPK (ABCAM) or control anti‐IgG (Millipore) antibody. In vitro translation assays were performed using mMESSAGE mMACHINE T7 Transcription Kit (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Then, FAM83H‐AS1 RNAs were labeled with desthiobiotinylation using the Pierce RNA 3′End Desthiobiotinylation Kit (Thermo Fisher). RNA pull‐down assays were performed with Magnetic RNA‐Protein Pull‐Down Kit (Thermo Fisher) according to the manufacturer's instructions. After elution of RNA‐interacting proteins, they were subjected to mass spectrometric analysis. Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry experiments were performed with a linear ion trap quadrupole mass spectrometer (Thermo Finnigan) equipped with a micro‐spray source.

Identification of ANXA2-Interacting lncRNAs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNA immunoprecipitation was performed as described previously48 (link), and magnetic beads were conjugated with anti-ANXA2 or control anti-IgG antibody. Biotin RNA Labeling Mix Kit (Roche) and T7 RNA polymerase (Roche) were used to biotin-label and transcribe the full-length as well as truncated fragments of MIR99AHG RNA, using MIR99AHG overexpression plasmid and PCR products of the truncated fragments as a template, respectively. Then, the RNAs were treated with RNase-free DNase I (Promega) and isolated with RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen). RNA pull-down assays were performed with a Magnetic RNA-Protein Pull-Down Kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After elution of lncRNA-interacting proteins, they were subjected to mass spectrometric analysis. Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC–MS) experiments were performed with a linear ion trap quadrupole mass spectrometer (Thermo Finnigan) equipped with a microspray source.

Glucuronide Derivatization by LQIT-MS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The experiments were carried out in a Thermo Scientific linear quadrupole ion trap (LQIT) mass spectrometer modified with an external reagent mixing manifold.18 (link) The studied glucuronides were ionized by negative mode electrospray ionization (ESI). The deprotonated glucuronides were isolated in the ion trap with an isolation width of 2 mass units and allowed to react with HSiCl3 for 30– 100 ms. SiHCl3 was introduced into the ion trap via the external reagent mixing manifold at a flow rate 3 μL/hour. No harmful effects to the instrumentation have been observed, likely because of the very small amount of the reagent introduced. A detailed description of the instrumentation used here for performing ion/molecule reactions can be found in the literature.15 (link)

HPLC-MS Analysis of Deprotonated Analytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HPLC-MS analysis was performed using a Surveyor Plus HPLC system with a quaternary pump, an auto sampler, and a photodiode array (PDA) detector. The HPLC was coupled to a Thermo Scientific linear quadrupole ion trap (LQIT) mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source. Separation was performed using a Zorbax SB-C18 column. A non-linear gradient of water (A) and acetonitrile (B) was used as follows: 0.00 minutes, 95% A and 5% B; 10.00 minutes, 95% A and 5% B; 30.00 minutes, 40% A and 60% B; 35.00 minutes, 5% A and 95% B; 38.00 minutes, 5% A and 95% B; 38.50 minutes, 95% A and 5% B, 45.00 minutes, 95% A and 5% B. The mobile phase flow rate was kept at 500 μL/min throughout the gradient. HPLC eluents were mixed via a T-connector with 1% sodium hydroxide solution at a flow rate of 0.1 μL/min to facilitate deprotonation of the analytes. ESI source conditions were set as: 3.5 kV spray voltage; 50 (arbitrary unit) sheath gas (N2) flow and 20 (arbitrary unit) auxiliary gas (N2) flow. Ion detection was performed under negative ion mode. The PDA detector was set at a wavelength of 254 nm.

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.
