A 20 μl aminoacylation reaction contained the following components: 50 mM HEPES-KOH (pH 7.2), 25 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 5 mM DTT, 10 mM ATP, 25 μg/ml pyrophosphatase (Roche Applied Science). All tRNA aminoacylation levels were determined at 37°C with according to the reactions conditions descried above with 100 nM tRNA synthetases, 10 nM 32P-labeled tRNA. Time points were taken at 5 min, 10 min and 20 min by removing 2 μl aliquots from the reaction and immediately quenching the reaction into an ice-cold 3 μl quench solution (0.66 μg/μl nuclease P1 (Sigma) in 100 mM sodium citrate (pH 5.0)). For each reaction, 2 μl of blank reaction mixture (containing no enzyme) was added to the quench solution as the start time point. The nuclease P1 mixture was then incubated a room temperature for 30 min, and 1 μl aliquots were spotted on PEI-cellulose plates (Merck) and developed in running buffer containing 5% acetic acid and 100 mM ammonium acetate. Radioactive spots for AMP and AA-AMP (representing free tRNA and aminoacyl-tRNA, respectively) were separated and then visualized and quantified by phosphorimaging by a Molecular Dynamics Storm 860 phosphorimager (Amersham Biosciences). The ratio of aminoacylated tRNA to total tRNA was determined to monitor reaction progress.

Yeast strains were grown in YPD media at 30 °C according to standard protocols. All strains were harvested for the experiments at exponential phase (OD600 ~1) and total RNA was isolated using the acidic hot phenol method48 (link). To remove residual free NAD, purified RNAs were dissolved in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) containing 2 M urea. Samples were incubated 2 min at 65 °C and immediately precipitated with isopropanol in the presence of 2 M ammonium acetate. NAD-capQ was carried out as previously described21 (link). Briefly, 50 μg of total RNA was digested with 2 U of Nuclease P1 (Sigma-Aldrich) in 20 μL of 10 mM Tris (pH 7.0), 20 μM ZnCl2 at 37 °C for 1 h to release 5′-end NAD. The control samples lacking Nuclease P1 were prepared by incubating 50 μg of RNA treated with the same reaction condition. The NADH standard curve was generated for each experiment in the same buffer condition as above for assays containing Nuclease P1. Following digestion with Nuclease P1, 30 μL of NAD/NADH Extraction Buffer (NAD/NADH Quantitation Kit, Sigma-Aldrich) was added to each sample. In the second step, 50 μL samples were used in a colorimetric assay according to the manufacturer’s protocol (NAD/NADH Quantitation Kit, Sigma-Aldrich) as described21 (link).

The control samples lacking Nuclease P1 were prepared by incubating 50 μg of RNA treated with the same reaction condition and supplemented with 5% glycerol lacking the enzyme. The NADH standard curve was generated for each experiment in the same buffer condition as above for assays containing Nuclease P1. Following digestion with Nuclease P1, 30 μl of NAD/NADH Extraction Buffer (NAD/NADH Quantitation Kit, Sigma-Aldrich) was added to each sample. Fifty microliters of each sample was used in a colorimetric assay according to the manufacturer's protocol (NAD/NADH Quantitation Kit, Sigma-Aldrich) as described (15 (link)). Values were corrected for background absorbance and concentrations of NAD and NADH were derived from the standard curves.

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.
