The RNA pull-down assay was performed according to instructions (Pierce Magnetic RNA-Protein Pull-Down Kit, 20164). In brief, artificially synthesized tRF-Gln-CTG-026 was biotinylated. Streptavidin Magnetic Beads (NEB, S1420S) were pre-washed, and the cell lysate was prepared; the protein concentration was required to be more than 2 mg/mL. The Streptavidin Magnetic Beads were washed with 50 μL 20 mM Tris (v/v), and 50 μL 1 × RNA Capture Buffer was added and mixed well. After 50 pM labeled RNA was added, the solution was kept at room temperature for 1 h. Then, 20 mM Tris (pH 7.5) (v/v) was added to wash the beads. Protein–RNA Binding Buffer (1×) was added into the beads and mixed well. RNA–protein mix was added to the beads for 3 h at 4 °C. Finally, the samples were washed and eluted.

The nascent chromatin capture assay was performed as described previously (48 (link)) with slight modifications. Cells were treated with a mixture of biotin-16-dUTP and biotin-16-dCTP (0.5 μM each, Jena Bioscience) in hypotonic buffer (50 mM KCl, 10 mM HEPES) for 5 min and followed by another 5 min dUTP/dCTP treatment in regular DMEM medium (For etoposide treated samples, etoposide was added 20 min prior dUTP/dCTP treatment and kept until cells were fixed). Cells were then fixed by 0.2% PFA for 5 min at room temperature and quenched by co-incubation with 200 mM glycine for 1 min. Cells were resuspended in TNT-300 buffer (25 mM Tris–HCl pH 7.4, 300 mM NaCl, 1% Triton-X100) together with protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Sigma, 1:1000) and sonified (30% amplitude, 45 s on/15 s off for 10 min) before incubated with 10 μl of Streptavidin Magnetic Beads (50% slurry, NEB) at room temperature 45 min on a rotating wheel. Beads were collected by centrifugation and washed three times with the TNT-300 buffer. Samples were denatured by incubation with the 4× Laemmli loading buffer at 95°C for 10 min and analyzed by immunoblotting.

The 186-bp CRISPR DNA bait was generated by PCR amplification of the BL21-AI CRISPR-I locus using 5′ biotin-conjugated forward and reverse primers (synthesized by Integrated Device Technology). The 186-bp control DNA was PCR amplified from the ori sequence of the pUC19 vector. The input lysates were prepared as described above for IP assays. The amount of biotinylated DNA probe was normalized to 100 nM and rocked with the lysate at 4°C for 30 min. Avidin agarose (Pierce, Fig. 4e) or streptavidin magnetic beads (NEB, Supplementary Fig. 4b) was added to the reaction and rocked for an additional 1.5–2 hours. The samples were washed five times with lysis buffer and the proteins were eluted with Laemmli buffer by boiling at 95°C for 5 minutes. Western blotting was conducted to detect Cas1-FLAG and Cas2-HA in the samples as described in the IP procedure.

A 20 μl aliquot of streptavidin magnetic beads (New England Biolabs) was washed with once with 200 μl Buffer A (10 mM Tris pH 8.0, 50 mM NaCl, 10 mM CaCl2, 0.01% Tween 20) and resuspended in 50 μl of Buffer A containing 500 ng of biotinylated-His-HpaII. After pipette mixing to allow the His-HpaII to bind to the beads, the His-HpaII-beads (“HpaII-beads” for simplicity) were washed again with Buffer A. Enrichments were performed either in 1.7 ml microcentrifuge tubes or in a 96-well plate. DNA samples suspended in 50 μl of Buffer B (10 mM Tris pH 8.0, 250 mM NaCl, 10 mM CaCl2, 0.01% Tween 20) were added to HpaII-beads and mixed for the indicated time. Magnetic beads were separated using either a tube magnetic stand (Life Technologies) or a plate magnet (Millipore, Billerica, MA). The beads were washed once with 200 μl Buffer A, and then resuspended in 50 μl of Buffer B for qPCR analysis.
For gel analysis and next-generation library preparation, the DNA was eluted from beads by incubation with 50 μl 5 M guanidinium thiocyanate at room temperature for 5 minutes. The eluent was transferred to a 3,500 MWCO dialysis tube (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA) and dialyzed against distilled water for 1 hour at room temperature.

Pol II elongation complex (EC10) was assembled essentially as previously described (29 (link)). First, radiolabeled 10-mer RNA was annealed to the TS DNA, followed by incubation with Pol II for 10 min at room temperature (23°C) and then 2 min at 37°C. To this, biotin-labeled NTS DNA was added and incubated for 5 min at 37°C, followed by 20 min at room temperature (23°C). The assembled elongation complex was incubated with streptavidin magnetic beads (NEB) for 30 min at room temperature (23°C) and subsequently washed with elongation buffer (EB) (20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 5 mM MgCl2, 40 mM KCl, 5 mM DTT). The immobilized elongation complex was ligated to the downstream slip-out DNA and washed two times with EB buffer. Next, Rpb4/7 was added to a final concentration of 5 μM and incubated for 15 min at 23°C to generate 12-subunit elongation complex. Then the 12-subunit elongation complex was washed three times with EB buffer to remove excess Rpb4/7.

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.
