Total RNA samples of the following strains and conditions were analyzed: PaSod1-Gfp and PaSod3H26L-Gfp grown in CM- medium without or with 60 µM paraquat, respectively. The cDNA was synthesized from 480 ng total RNA using the iScript kit (Bio-Rad, 170–8891) and was used for qRT-PCR reaction (iQ SybrGreen SuperMix; Bio-Rad, 170–8880). Three biological and 3 technical replicates were analyzed for each strain and each condition. Oligonucleotides (Biomers, Ulm, Germany) used were: Sod1–1 (5′ CAT CAC TGG CCA TGA TGC 3′), Sod1–2 (5′ GCT TGA TGA GGT TGT CGG 3′), Sod3H26L-1 (5′ GAG CCT AAG GGA GAC CTC 3′), Sod3H26L-2 (5′ CTT GCT CAC CAT GGC GTC 3′) Porin-rt-for (5′ TCTCCTCCGGCAGCCTTG 3′) and Porin-rt-rev (5′ GAGGGTGTCGGCAAGTTC 3′). For each gene, the PCR efficiency was determined according to Pfaffl et al.71 (link) The relative expression level (normalized to the level of the PaPorin transcript) was calculated according to Servos et al.72 (link)

Designing Stopper DNA Oligomers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Guidelines for the design of stopper DNA oligomers (named "stoppers" henceforth irrespective of whether they worked efficiently or not) were the same as that for PCR primers. 81 They were designed to avoid secondary structures (with a minimum of 4 base pairs assumed for stable hairpin formation) and self-dimerization (≥5 self-complementary bases). 82 The melting temperatures for RNA/DNA hybrids were estimated using the nearest-neighbor two-state-model and thermodynamic parameters. 83 Salt correction was performed. 84, 85 Overhangs for toehold-release of 8 nts were found to be optimal for rapid strand displacement. 86 Different from those stoppers used with the two TMV-derived RNA scaffolds, wt-RNA and RNA 2253 (see Table 1 and Fig. 1 for details), all stoppers applied with hRNA constructs addressed different non-TMV sequence portions (see Fig. S1 †). Identical toehold overhangs of all DNA oligomers, and their complementary portions in the different release ("fuel") oligomers were used in all the evaluated experiments. Oligonucleotides purified by high performance liquid chromatography were bought from Biomers (Ulm, Germany).

DNA and single protein components were mixed and incubated in a stepwise manner at 4°C. TBP was first added to the TATA box-containing DNA in excess. This was followed by the addition of NC2 and Mot1/Mot1NTD. Finally, the sample was centrifuged and loaded onto a S200 10/300 GL column connected to AEKTA purifier (GE Healthcare). 20 mM MES pH 6.5, 60 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2 and 2 mM DTT or 20 mM HEPES pH 8.2, 60 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2 and 2 mM DTT were used for the crystallization or EM and CX-MS analyses, respectively.

Oligonucleotides Synthesis and Purification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Oligonucleotides (templates and synthetic microRNAs) were purchased from Biomers (Germany). The sequences were purified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and checked by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. Templates were designed according to the rules previously described (23 , 25 (link)). All template sequences (aT, pT, and rT) were protected from the degradation by the exonuclease by 5′ phosphorothioate backbone modifications. A 3′ blocking moiety (phosphate group for aT, pT, and cT and quencher for rT) was used to avoid nonspecific polymerization. Table S1 recapitulates all the sequences used throughout the study. Nb.BsmI and Nt.BstNBI nicking enzymes, Vent(exo-) DNA polymerase, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were purchased from New England Biolabs (NEB). A 10-fold dilution of Nt.BstNBI was prepared by dissolving the stock enzyme in diluent A (NEB) supplemented with 0.1% Triton X-100. The exonuclease ttRecJ was expressed and purified by chromatography according to a previously published protocol (47 (link)). The enzyme was stored at 1.53 μM in diluent A + 0.1% Triton X-100. All the proteins were stored at −20°C. Human colon total RNA (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was aliquoted at 13 μg/ml and stored at −20°C.

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.
