For RNAse I degradation experiment, 40 μl aliquots of DNA‐free RNA was incubated at 37°C for 40 min in the presence of increasing concentrations of RNAse I (Ambion): 0 (buffer only), 2, 10, 20 and 40 Units RNAse I μg−1 RNA. The reaction was stopped by adding 10 μl β‐mercaptoethanol and RNA was recovered by ethanol precipitation: 5 μl of 7.5 M ammonium acetate and 137.5 μl 100% ethanol was added and the mixture was precipitated overnight at −20°C. RNA was pelleted by centrifugation 16 000g for 40 min at 4°C and the pellet was washed with 480 μl ice cold 70% ethanol and pelleted by centrifugation at 16 000g for 30 min at 4°C. The pellet was air dried and re‐suspended in 40 μl of DEPC‐treated water. An aliquot of RNA that did not undergo ethanol precipitation was also included for comparison (designated NT: ‘Not Treated’).

Identifying Nucleic Acid Bound to Rep

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine the identity of nucleic acid bound to Rep, we independently treated the purified sample with DNase I or RNase I (Thermo Fisher) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. For each reaction, a total of 40 μM purified Rep (10 μl) was first denatured at 90°C for 15 min. The sample was cooled to room temperature and then digested with 10 U of RNase I in 20 mM Tris-acetate (pH 8.0), 100 mM NaCl, and 0.1 mM EDTA or with 1 U of DNase I in 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 25 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, and 50 mM EDTA for 2 h. A 1% agarose gel (40 ml) was cast in the presence of 1 μl of SYBR-Gold nucleic acid stain (10,000× concentrate in dimethyl sulfoxide [DMSO]; Thermo Fisher). For controls, a 1 μM concentration of a 12- and a 44-nt oligonucleotide (10 μl each) was also processed with the agarose gel. Gels were visualized using a UV-transilluminator at 302 nm.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293 (H. sapiens, RRID: CVCL_0045) cells were transfected with a plasmid encoding GFP (pMAX_GFP, Lonza). GFP expression was monitored by fluorescence microscopy (Olimpus IX-50). After 24 h after transfection, cells were treated with harringtonine (2 μg/ml) for 3 min, followed by cycloheximide addition (CHX, 10 μg/ml, SIGMA cat. no. 01810) and incubation for 5 min at 37°C. Controls were not treated with harringtonine. Cell lysates were obtained using a hypotonic lysis buffer (IMMAGINA Biotechnology, cat. no. RL001-1). Lysate absorbance at 260 nm was measured by Nanodrop ND-1000 UV-VIS Spectrophotometer and then diluted to a final value of 1.7 a.u. (absorbance measured at 260 nm) in 250 μl of W-buffer (IMMAGINA Biotechnology, cat. no. RL001-4). Ribosome protected Fragments (RPFs) were generated by treating the diluted lysate with 12.7 U of RNase I (Ambion, cat. no. AM2295) at room temperature for 45 min in an orbital mixer (31 (link)). RNase I digestion was stopped by adding 10U of SupeRNase Inhibitor (Thermo Scientific, cat. no. AM2696) for 10 min on ice.

Lysates were then centrifuged at 25,000 rcf for 10 min at 4°C, and supernatants were collected. To generate monosomes, RNase I (Invitrogen, Cat: AM2294) was added to a final concentration of 0.2 U per μl of harvested worm pellet. The digestion was incubated at room temperature for 40 min with gentle rotation and then quenched by adding SUPERase RNase Inhibitor (Invitrogen, Cat: AM2694) at 4 U per RNase I unit. The lysates were then loaded onto 5-40% (m/v) sucrose gradients prepared with lysis buffer without Triton X-100 and centrifuged at 32,000 rpm for 3 h at 4°C in an SW41Ti rotor (Beckman Coulter, Cat:331362). The sucrose gradients were fractionated using BR-188 Density Gradient Fractionation System with 60% (m/v) sucrose as chase solution, and monosome fractions were collected according to OD254 profiles.

RNA digestion of 20 OD260nm of cell extracts were performed by using 1 unit of Xrn1 (Biolabs) in NEB buffer 3 at 25 °C during 30 min unless otherwise indicated. NEB Buffer 3 was replaced by T4 PNK buffer (NEB) in kinase assays in the presence or absence of Xrn1 (Figs. 3a and 5d). For RNase I treatment of cell extracts, 20 OD260nm of extracts (prepared without heparin) were incubated with 0.5, 1, or 2 µl of RNase I (Invitrogen, 100 units/µl) 30 min at 25 °C. For total RNA treatment, 5 µg of RNA were digested 30 min at 25 °C. All RNase treatments were followed by RNA extraction and northern blot analysis as described above.

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.
