Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hybond Nylon membrane (Amersham) was pre-soaked in TE and a slot blot apparatus was assembled according to manufacturer’s instructions (Bio-Rad). Samples with matching RNase H1-digested controls were added to the blot in decreasing amounts, and nucleic acids were crosslinked to the membrane with a Strategene UV Stratalinker 1800 using the auto crosslink setting. Blots were blocked in milk, incubated with S9.6 (1:2,000) followed by mouse-HRP and imaged in a Bio-Rad Chemidoc MP. After imaging the R-loops, blots were stripped and re-probed using a dsDNA-specific antibody (Abcam ab27156) at 1:20,000. Intensities were measured with ImageJ,62 (link) and normalized intensity was obtained by dividing the S9.6 signal by the dsDNA signal.63 (link) A standard plot was made for each sample and antibody, and samples were chosen for analysis when their intensity was linear.

Equilibrium dissociation constants were determined as described previously (Schirle et al., 2014 (link)). Briefly, miRNA-loaded Ago2 samples were incubated with 32P 5′-radiolabeled target RNA in binding reaction buffer (30 mM tris pH 8.0, 100 mM potassium acetate, 2 mM magnesium acetate, 0.5 mM TCEP, 0.005% (v/v) NP-40, 0.01 mg/mL baker’s yeast tRNA), in a reaction volume of 100 μL at room temperature.
Ago2 and radiolabeled target concentrations, as well as equilibration times, depended on the target RNA. For HSUR1 ΔP2, miR-27a-loaded Ago2 ranged from 0-100 nM; for all others, loaded Ago2 ranged from 0-10 nM. miR-122-loaded Ago2 was incubated with 0.1 nM radiolabeled miR-122 targets for 45 min; miR-27a-loaded Ago2 was incubated with 0.05 nM radiolabeled HSUR1 targets for 60 min.
Using a dot-blot apparatus (GE Healthcare), protein-RNA complexes were captured on Protran nitrocellulose membrane (0.45 μm pore size, Whatman, GE Healthcare Life Sciences) and unbound RNA on Hybond Nylon membrane (Amersham, GE Healthcare). Samples were applied with vacuum and then washed using 100 μL of ice-cold wash buffer (30 mM Tris pH 8.0, 0.1 M potassium acetate, 2 mM magnesium acetate, 0.5 mM TCEP). Membranes were air-dried and signals visualized by phosphorimaging.

Table 1 lists the oligonucleotides and primers used for gene mutations and Southern blotting in this study. We generated a C. albicanstca17Δ/Δ null mutant (KO) and the knock-in reintegrant strain (KI) using the AHY940 wild-type strain and the CRISPR-Cas9 protocol developed by the Hernday laboratory (66 (link)). Successful transformations and correct strain construction were verified through PCR and Southern blotting of genomic DNA. For Southern blotting, 5 μg of genomic DNA was digested with BamHI and ScaI overnight and loaded onto a 1% agarose gel. Blotting was performed with a Hybond nylon membrane (Amersham) using standard protocols. The DNA probe was constructed by PCR using digoxigenin (DIG)-labeled dNTPs (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) and visualized with a DIG luminescent detection kit (Roche, Basel, Switzerland).

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.
