Isco density gradient fractionation system

Manufactured by Teledyne

The Isco Density Gradient Fractionation System is a laboratory equipment designed for the separation and analysis of macromolecules and particles based on their density. It utilizes a density gradient to facilitate the separation process, allowing for the isolation of specific components within a complex sample.

Polysome profiles were performed as described before (Kuzuoğlu-Öztürk et al., 2016 (link)). HEK293T cells were pretreated with cycloheximide (50 μg/ml) for 30 min. Lysates were prepared in lysis buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH = 7.4, 10 mM NaCl, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 0.5% Triton X-100, 2 mM DTT, 50 μg/ml cycloheximide) and polysomes separated on a 10%–50% sucrose gradient in gradient buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 75 mM KCl, 1.5 mM MgCl2). Polysome fractions were collected using the Teledyne Isco Density Gradient Fractionation System. Protein from sucrose fractions was isolated by methanol extraction. In detail, 4× volumes of MetOH were mixed with the sucrose fractions, then mixed with 1× volume of chloroform and then with 3× volumes of water. After centrifugation, the upper phase was removed leaving the lower and inter-phases which were precipitated using 3× volumes of MetOH. Samples were spun down and the dried pellet dissolved in 2× protein sample buffer. Fractions were analyzed by western blotting.

Polysome Profiling for Transcriptome Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Polysome profiles were performed as described before (Kuzuoglu-Ozturk et al., 2016) . HEK293T cells were pre-treated with cycloheximide (50 µg/ml) for 30 min. Lysates were prepared in lysis buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH=7.4, 10 mM NaCl, 1.5 mM MgCl 2 , 0.5% Triton X-100, 2 mM DTT, 50 µg/ml cycloheximide) and polysomes separated on a 10-50% sucrose gradient in gradient buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 75 mM KCl, 1.5 mM MgCl 2 ).
Polysome fractions were collected using the Teledyne Isco Density Gradient Fractionation System.
To isolate RNA from sucrose fractions, samples were first digested with proteinase K (Sigma Aldrich, 1% of the sample volume; 100 mg/ml in 50 mM Tris-HCl pH=8.1, 10 mM CaCl 2 buffer) at 37°C for 45 min and shaking at 400 rpm. The digested samples were mixed with 1 volume of Phenol:Chloroform:Isoamyl alcohol (PanReac AppliChem, 25:24:1, v/v), vortexed and spun down 5 min at 20,000 g at 4°C. Supernatants were transferred into 3 volumes of 100% ethanol, 0.1 volumes of 3M NaOAc pH=5.2 and 1 µl of GlycoBlue, and precipitated at -20°C. Samples were pelleted for 30 min at 20,000 g and 4°C, washed once with 100% ethanol and another time with 70% ethanol, dried and resuspended in 30 µl H 2 O.
Fractions were reverse transcribed and analysed by RT-qPCR.

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.
