Primer extension was performed on total RNA (10 μg) using the SuperScript III Reverse Transcriptase (Invitrogen), according to the manufacturer's instructions with the following modifications. RNA samples were annealed with 3 μl of radiolabeled primers at 65°C during 30 min and kept on ice for 1 min. The reverse transcription was done at 55°C during 1 h (50°C for OLEC3926). The cDNA samples were then precipitated with ethanol, resuspended in 5 μl of 1X loading dye and resolved on 10% polyacrylamide/8 M urea/TBE gels. The primers were end-radiolabeled as previously described (28 ) and the AFLP 30–300 bp ladder (Invitrogen) was labeled according the manufacturer's instructions using the T4 Polynucleotide kinase (PNK) (Thermo Fischer Scientific).

The E. coli toxin-antitoxin MazEF was purified as previously described14 (link). Active MazF was liberated by either trypsin (Promega) digestion (1600:1) at 37 °C for 15 min or by incubation with Factor X Activated (0.1 unit per 1 mg of protein; Sigma-Aldrich) in FXa buffer containing 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0 and 1 mM DTT. For generating linear oligoadenylates A2>P (5’ hydroxyl-Ap-Ap with a 2’,3’-cyclic phosphate) and A4>P, 30 μM A2 (AAACAUCAG) or A4 (AAAAACAUCAG) RNA was incubated with MazF in FXa buffer for 1 h at 37 °C. RNA was deproteinised by phenol-chloroform extraction followed by chloroform extraction. For use as standards, A2>P and A4>P linear oligoadenylates were 5’-end labelled using 32P-γ-ATP and T4 Polynucleotide Kinase (PNK; Thermo Fisher Scientific) via its forward reaction.

RNA Quantification in H. volcanii

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was isolated from H. volcanii cells in the early exponential growth phase (OD650 nm: ∼0,3) with TRIzolTM Reagent (InvitrogenTM, Thermo Fisher Scientific). DNase treatment to remove residual DNA was performed with RQ1 RNase-Free DNase (Promega). Ten micrograms of total RNA was separated by 8% PAGE and transferred to a nylon membrane (Hybond-N+, GE Healthcare). The membrane was hybridized with radioactively labeled oligonucleotide probes. Probes were labeled at the 5′ end by T4-polynucleotide kinase (PNK; Thermo Fisher Scientific) and [γ-32P]-ATP. To quantify the RNA, imaging plates (BAS-MS, Fujifilm) were exposed to radioactivity on the hybridized membranes and analyzed with the FLA-3000 scanner (GE Healthcare; software BASreader 3.14). Signal intensity was measured with ImageJ and set in relation to the signal of 5S rRNA that was detected and used as a loading control. The proportion of RNA is given as a percentage from cells expressing a targeting spacer and those carrying a control plasmid. The amount of RNA in the control strains was set to 100%, and the amounts in strains expressing a targeting spacer were calculated in relation to this value. Northern blot analyses were performed with biological triplicates of the control and CRISPRi strains.

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.
