Five hundred ng of total RNA, extracted from the indicated genotypes, as described above, was used to perform the primer extension assay. Briefly, the gene-specific primer was designed with the reverse-complementary sequence for the target region (between 963 and 979; 5'-AAGGCACCCCTCTCTTT-3') of the chloroplast 16S rRNA. The primer and DNA marker were end-labeled with 10 µCi of [γ-32 P]ATP by T4 polynucleotide kinase (Promega) and then used for reverse transcription with avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) reverse transcriptase (Promega) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The products of reverse transcription were separated on 8% denaturing polyacrylamide gel containing 40% polyacrylamide/bis (19:1) solution, 7M urea, and 1× TBE buffer. The gel was washed with a fixation solution [1× TBE buffer, 10% (v/v) ethanol, 10% (v/v) methanol], and then the radioactivity was visualized with a Personal Molecular Imager (PMI) system (Bio-Rad). To quantify the levels of endogenous m 2 G915 in chloroplast 16S rRNA, primer extension products reversetranscribed with a gene-specific primer (reverse-complementary to the 16S rRNA nucleotides 1092-1108; 5'-CAGTCTGTTCAGGGTTC-3') and AMV reverse transcriptase (Promega) were analyzed by qPCR with the primer pairs, as described in Supplementary Figure S4B, and the primer sequences are listed in Supplementary Table S1.

Total RNA from the colonic mucosa of mice was extracted using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, USA). First-strand cDNA templates were synthesized using AMV reverse transcriptase (Promega, USA)38 (link) with hexanucleotide random primers. Conventional PCR was carried out in a BioRad thermocycler. Quantitative real-time PCR amplification was carried out using specific primers designed based on cDNA sequences deposited in the GenBank database39 (link) (Table 1). Real-time PCR was performed in a Bio-rad CFX-96 Real-Time PCR system using SYBR green PCR reagent kits (Bio-rad). Briefly, each of the 40 cycles consisted of denaturation at 95 °C for 10 s, primer annealing at 55 °C for 20 s, and extension at 72 °C for 30 s after an initial hot start at 95 °C for 30 s, with a final incubation at 72 °C for 10 min. The relative amount of transcripts was calculated using the 2−ΔΔCt formula as the described40 (link), where DCt is the value from the threshold cycle (Ct) value of the treated sample subtracting the Ct value of the untreated or zero time-point control sample. The relative amount of the sample mRNA was normalized to the GAPDH mRNA.

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.
