Inorganic pyrophosphatase

Manufactured by New England Biolabs
Sourced in United States

Inorganic pyrophosphatase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) into two orthophosphate (Pi) molecules. This enzymatic activity helps maintain low intracellular PPi concentrations, which is important for various cellular processes.

Renilla Luciferase Assay in Nicotiana benthamiana

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The RLuc-PepMV-3UTR plasmid was obtained by insertion of a DNA fragment covering the PepMV 3′UTR (Baseclear, Leiden, The Netherlands) into a Renilla luciferase reporter plasmid previously described29 (link). Templates for transcription were obtained by PCR using the forward primer SP6FLU and reverse primer (pep1, pA2, or pA6—Supplementary Table S1). Transcription reactions were carried out as described above, but with the kit enzyme mix substituted with a 7:2:1 mixture of SP6 polymerase, recombinant RNAse inhibitor, and inorganic pyrophosphatase (all New England Biolabs). 5 × 105 N. benthamiana protoplasts were transfected with 3 µg of RNA and after 16 h incubation at 25 °C under constant light, were freeze-dried and sent by airmail for analysis at Leiden University. Upon arrival material was resuspended in 100ul Tris (10 mM pH 8) and luciferase activity in 50 µl samples was measured using a GloMax multi system (Promega).

Ubiquitination Assay for E3 Ligase

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ubiquitination assays were carried out using a ubiquitinylation kit (ENZO Life Sciences, Farmingdale, NY, USA). We used a previously described protocol (Zhang et al. 2017 (link)) with some modifications. In brief, Escherichia coli-purified His-PUB8 (E3) and GST-ABI3 (substrate), and His-PUB8 (E3) and GST-ABI5 (substrate) were incubated with 1× ubiquitinylation buffer, 5 mM Mg-ATP solution, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 100 nM human E1, 2.5 mM human E2 (ubiquitin conjugating enzyme UBCH8), 2.5 mM biotin-ubiquitin, and 1 unit inorganic pyrophosphatase (New England Biolabs, Beverley, MA, USA) at 37°C for 4 h. Proteins were separated on a 4% to 20% (w/v) SDS–PAGE (catalog no. F11420Gel, ACE Biotechnology, Nanjing, China) under nonreducing conditions. Immunodetection was carried out using the HRP-Streptavidin detection system as described in the product manual. Experiments were repeated at least 4 times. The primers used for the vector construction are listed in Supplemental Table S1.

In Vitro Lysidine Modification of tRNA

The in vitro modification of C34 to lysidine using purified E. coli TilS has been described (Köhrer et al., 2008 (link)). 0.01 – 0.025 A260 (0.32-0.8 μM) of tRNA transcript was modified in a 50 μl-reaction containing 50 mM HEPES pH 7.6, 10 mM KCl, 15 mM MgCl2, 10 mM ATP, 0.1 μg/μL BSA, 3.54 μM L-[3H]-lysine (Perkin Elmer; ∼84.8 Ci/mmole) and 0.5 μM E. coli TilS. Inorganic pyrophosphatase (New England Biolabs) was added to the reaction at a concentration of 0.04 U/μl. The modification reactions were carried out at 37 °C for 60 minutes. The pre-incubation of tRNA and the analysis of incorporation of radiolabeled amino acid into tRNA were as described above. Assays were carried out in triplicate.

In Vitro Transcription of Single-Stranded DNA Templates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Single-stranded DNA templates (Table S2), each containing a T7 promoter sequence, were synthesized (IDT), purified on a 12% or 15% urea-polyacrylamide gel, and resuspended in water. Each template DNA was annealed with an oligonucleotide complementary to the T7 promoter sequence (Table S2), and then used in an in vitro transcription reaction containing 0.5 μM annealed DNA template, 5 mM ATP, 2 mM UTP, 5 mM CTP, 8 mM GTP, 5 mM DTT, 40 mM Tris pH 7.9, 2.5 mM spermidine, 26 mM MgCl2, 0.01% (v./v.) Triton X-100, 5 mM DTT, SUPERase•In (1 U/μL, Invitrogen, AM2694), thermostable Inorganic Pyrophosphatase (0.0083 U/μL, New England Biolabs, M0296), and T7 RNA Polymerase (purified in-house). The reaction was incubated at 37°C for 3–4 h, before RQ1 DNase (0.037 U/μL, Promega, M6101) was added, followed by 30 min of incubation at 37°C. The final reaction mix was desalted using Micro Bio-Spin P-30 columns (Bio-Rad, 7326250), then denatured by incubating with 0.5X volume of gel-loading buffer (8 M urea, 25 mM EDTA, 0.025% [w./v.] xylene cyan, 0.025% [w./v.] bromophenol blue) or Gel Loading Buffer II (Invitrogen, AM8547) at 90°C for 1 min. The full-length RNA product was then purified on a 12% or 15% ureapolyacrylamide gel and resuspended in water.

In vitro transcription of labeled RNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA fragments including the optimized T7 class II promoter Ф2.5 with ATP as initial nucleotide and 5′-ACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC-3′ were used as a template for in vitro transcription. We used the nsp12 and nsp13 and [α-32P]-GTP or [α-32P]-UTP to label the 5′ terminus of the RNA to GpppA-RNA. After reaction, the reaction systems were centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 10 min, and the supernatant were spotted on polyethylenimine cellulose plates. To improve the efficiency of the reaction, 0.05 U inorganic pyrophosphatase (New England Biolabs, USA) was added in the reaction system. The marker GpppA-RNA was prepared with the Vaccinia capping system (except for SAM) (New England Biolabs, USA).

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.
