Lysates were centrifuged at 10,000 × g for 10 min and then pre-cleared with magnetic beads (Dynabeads Protein A, Thermofisher Scientific 10001D) for 1 h at 4 °C. Magnetic beads bound to chicken anti-GFP antibody (Life tech A-11122) were added to the supernatant followed by rotation at 4 ºC for 2 h. Next, beads were washed 3 times with a sugar-rich buffer (100 mM HEPES Buffer pH 8.0, 1% Triton X-100, 200 mM NaCl, 30 mM EDTA, 350 mM Sucrose, 10%, Glycerol, 1 mg/mL Heparin, 1 mM DTT, RNAsin Plus 400 u/ml) and 2 times with a low-density buffer (100 mM HEPES Buffer pH 8.0, 1% Triton X-100, 200 mM NaCl, 30 mM EDTA,1 mg/mL Heparin, 1 mM DTT, RNAsin Plus 400 units/ml (Fischer Scientific PRN2615) followed by resuspension in Qiagen RLT buffer (Qiagen 79,216) with 1% 2-mercaptoethanol (Sigma Aldrich M6250).

Radiolabeled stalled TECs were assembled in 20 μL reactions: 50 nM DNA template, 40 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 20 mM MgCl2, 50 nM T7 enzyme, 200 uM GTP, 200 uM ATP, 50 uM UTP, 1U/μL RNasin Plus (Thermo), 20 μCi 32P-α-ATP. Stalling reactions were incubated at RT for 2 mins and then heparin was added to 1 mg/mL. Immediately following stalling, reactions were diluted to 30 μL with restart mixture: 40 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 20 mM MgCl2, 2 mM NTPs (GTP, ATP, UTP, CTP), 2 U RNasin Plus. Aliquots (3 μL) were taken from the reaction mixture, quenched in stop buffer (95% formamide, 25 mM EDTA), and placed on ice. Samples were loaded onto a pre-run 6% denaturing sequencing gel and run at 55 W for 4 – 5 hours at RT. Sequencing gels were transferred to filter paper, dried, exposed to a phosphorimaging screen overnight, and imaged using a phosphorimager (GE Typhoon). Gels were quantified using FIJI (Schindelin et al., 2012 (link)).

Fractionation of Drosophila and Human Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fractionations of both overexpression and CRISPR Drosophila models were conducted as previously described [14 (link)]. In brief, 25 third instar larvae (for the overexpression models) or 1–2 days old 25 homozygous flies (for the CRISPR lines) were homogenized in Trizol (Thermofisher Scientific 15596026). Lysates were then centrifuged at 25,000×g for 30 min. The supernatant became the soluble fraction and the pellet was solubilized in urea buffer (30 mM Tris, 7 M Urea, 2 M Thiourea, 4% CHAPS, 1X Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Millipore Sigma 11873580001), 0.5 mM PMSF, RNAsin Plus 400 units/ml (Fischer Scientific PRN2615), pH 8.5) to generate the urea/insoluble fraction. For human fractionation samples, post-mortem tissue (four spinal cord and two cerebellum samples as controls) was homogenized and subjected to the fractionation protocol described above.

The crosslinking products were gel-purified by electrophoresis on a 6% acrylamide sequencing gel containing 8 M urea. The crosslinking sites were mapped by primer extension. Purified RNA was incubated with 32P-labeled oligonucleotide BLoli1915 (ACGTCCCACAGCTCAGGGAAT) or BLoli5880 (GCATGTGTGAGCCGAGTCCTGG) and dNTPs (10 nmol) in 6.5 µl of ddH2O at 65 °C for 5 min and at 55 °C for 2 min. The reaction volume was increased to 10 µl by the addition of RNase inhibitor (RNasin Plus, 40 U), dithiothreitol (5 mM), 1× first-strand buffer (Invitrogen), and Superscript III reverse transcriptase (200 U, Invitrogen). Reaction mixtures were incubated at 55 °C for 60 min and terminated by the addition of an equal volume of formamide dye. Primer extension products were separated on 12% acrylamide sequencing gel containing 8 M urea next to a sequencing ladder as a marker. Sequencing reactions contained the same primer as used for the primer extension, pMG80 as template, and components of the SequenaseTM Version 2.0 DNA Sequencing Kit (US Biologicals) as instructed by the manufacturer.

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.
