Samples were kept at 4 °C throughout the sample preparation process. Apo PolθH was diluted to 0.9 mg/mL in SEC buffer, PolQHel-DNA complex was diluted to 1.25 mg/mL in low-salt SEC buffer, and samples were subject to centrifugation at 15,000 × g for 10 min. Quantifoil 300 mesh R 1.2/1.3 Holey Carbon Films were glow discharged under vacuum for 30 s at 15 mA in a Pelco easiGlow 91000 Glow Discharge Cleaning System (Ted Pella, Inc.). The sample (3 μL) was applied to the surface of the grid, blotted with Whatman 1 filter paper until 2 s after the liquid spot on the filter paper stopped spreading, and the grid was then immediately plunged into a liquid ethane pool cooled by liquid nitrogen using a manual plunge freezer in a 4 °C cold room with >95% humidity. Grids were then clipped under liquid nitrogen in preparation for imaging.

MVs were imaged by cryo-electron microscopy using the software package Digital Micrograph (Gatan, Inc., Warrendale, PA) employing a JEOL 3200FS Transmission Electron Microscope (JEOL USA, Inc. Peabody, MA) equipped with an in-column energy filter (omega filter) operating at 300 kV at a magnification of 30,000X. Images were recorded using a K2 Summit Direct Electron Detection camera (Gatan, Inc.) in counting mode, and motion corrected using tools in Digital Micrograph. Sample preparation utilized 400 mesh Lacey Carbon copper grids (LC400-CU, Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatfield, PA), glow discharged at either 5 watts, 10 watts or 25 watts for 10s, with a Pelco easiGlow 91000 Glow Discharge Cleaning System (Ted Pella, Inc., Redding, CA). Grids were vitrified by plunging into liquid ethane. 4 μL of sample were applied to each prepared grid and incubated for 30s under >95% humidity at 4◦C using a Vitrobot Mark IV cryo system (FEI/ThermoFisher). Blot forces of 0.0 and 1.0 and a range of blot times, from 1s-4s were tested.

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.
