The PNK activity of the N-terminal PNK domain of ScTrl1 PNK/CPDase and BfPNK/CPDase was assayed using the synthetic oligonucleotides ribo A20 (A20) and deoxy A20 (dA20), and a mixture of the two (A20 + dA20). T4 PNK and ScTrl1 CPDase were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. The reaction mixture contained 70 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, and 5 mM DTT, 2 μg of enzyme, and 100 pmol A20 or dA20 or both. 55 pmol of radioactively labelled [γ32P] ATP were added to each reaction mixture, and the volume of the mixtures was adjusted to 40 μl with diethylpyrocarbonate-treated water. The samples were incubated at +37 °C, and 8-μl aliquots were removed at different time points (1, 15, 30, and 60 min). Each sample was quenched with 8 μl of 2X urea sample loading buffer (Invitrogen Novex) and heated at +90 °C for 4 min. The samples were analyzed by electrophoresis using a 15% Mini-PROTEAN TBE-Urea gel (Bio-Rad), at 150 V for 85 min, and visualized using PhosphorImager analysis.

Total RNA was isolated using Trizol (Thermo Fisher Scientific) from three replicates of 30 4–7 day-old female flies after desiccation stress and under control conditions. RNA samples were treated with DNAse I (Thermo Fisher Scientific) following manufacturer’s instructions. Small RNAs were obtained by gel size selection from total RNA using 15% Mini-Protean TBE-Urea Gel (Bio-Rad, #4,566,056). The gel was run at 300 V for 50 min. Fragments between 17 and 30 nucleotides were carefully cut from the gel and were put in an Eppendorf with 250 μL NaCl 0.5 M and then were placed at 4 °C in a rotating wheel o/n. Next, the sample was transferred to Corning Costar Spin-X centrifuge tubes (Merck, CLS8162), spinned and cleaned with standard ethanol washes, and eluted in DEPEC-H2O. Quality check was performed using Bioanalyzer small RNA kit (Agilent). Libraries were sequenced using Illumina Next-Seq 50 bp single-end reads.

Serum Stability of CpG-scrRNA Complexes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Complexes and spheres made of CpG-scrRNA and MS2KN spider silk or CpG-scrRNA alone were incubated in presence of 30% mouse serum for 0, 1 and 3 h at 37 °C. After incubation, the DNA Loading Dye (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, DE) supplemented with 1% SDS was added to CpG-scrRNA and the complexes. The sphere samples were centrifuged for 30 min at 14 000 × g, dissolved in buffer containing 100 mM NaH2PO4, 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, and 8 M Urea for 3 h with shaking at 37 °C, and then DNA Loading Dye was added. Pre-run of the 15% Mini-PROTEAN® TBE-Urea Gel (Bio-Rad, Irvine, CA) was performed to remove urea traces from wells, then the samples were loaded, and gel electrophoresis was carried out for 15 and 90 min, at 250 and 200 Volts for pre-run and run, respectively. CpG-scrRNA was stained with TBE-ethidium bromide solution for 30 min at room temperature, visualized using G-box transilluminator in a presence of UV light, and analyzed by GeneTools software. In preliminary studies, we have not seen the differences in the rate of degradation of CpG-conjugates with various siRNA or double-stranded scrambled sequences. Due to lack of the sequence-specific effects in the serum stability studies, we decided to use in this study the CpG-scrRNA conjugate that was available for us in larger quantities.

Quantifying siRNA Accumulation in Papaya Virus Infection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tissue cultured transgenic and non-transgenic papaya plants, virus free or 24 days after inoculation with PRSV, provided leaf RNA extracts via RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (QIAGEN) for investigation of siRNA accumulation. The integrity of RNA was checked with formaldehyde denaturing agarose gel electrophoresis27 . The conserved 544-bp sequence of the PRSV CP gene was fragmented into 11 probes averaging 50 bp in length, of which probe CP544-10 (from 451 bp to 500 bp) and probe CP544-11 (from 501 bp to 544 bp) were later confirmed to produce efficient hybridization signals (Table 1). The Northern blot probes were labeled with Digoxigenin-11-dUTP using DIG-High-Prime Kit. Both 15% formaldehyde denaturing agarose gels (lab made) and 15% Mini-PROTEAN TBE-Urea Gels (Bio-Rad, USA) were used to separate the small RNAs by loading approximately 60-80 μg of RNA per sample, and transferring the separated bands to nylon membranes (GE Healthcare) using the capillary siphon blot method27 . Hybridization was performed overnight at 42 °C in a hybridization incubator (Model 2000, Robbins Scientific). Immunological detection was the same as for the Southern blot, except that the containers, reagents and buffers were pre-treated with 0.1% DEPC (v:v) water to remove contaminating RNAase.

After adding 1 μl of 1N HCl and 12 μl of 2X loading buffer (80% formamide, 10X TBE), the samples were incubated at 65 °C for 5 min. 10 μl of the reaction was electrophoresed on a 10% Mini-PROTEAN TBE-Urea gels (Bio-Rad). Typhoon 9400 Imager (GE Healthcare) was used to scan the gel in fluorescence mode at 488 nm.

The endoribonuclease and exoribonuclease activities were measured using 6-carboxyfluorescein (6FAM)-labeled RNA substrates either in 5' or in 3' as listed in Supp Table S5. 500 nM RNA substrate were incubated with 500 nM protein in a total volume of 10 µL with a buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.8, 100 mM NaCl, 8 mM MgCl 2 , 0.1 mM and 0.1 mg/mL bovine serum albumin (BSA). The reactions were carried out at 37ºC for 0-30 min for the exoribonuclease activity tests and 0-75 min for endoribonuclease activity tests.
Reactions were stopped by adding 98% formamide and 10 mM ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and by incubating for 15 min at 95 ºC.
The degradation products were run on a Mini-Protean TBE-Urea gels (Bio-Rad) that was pre-run for 60 min at 200 V. The samples were run for 5 min at 50 V and then for 30 min at 200 V. Gels were visualized on a Chemidoc MP Imaging System (Bio-Rad) with 0.2 s exposure at 488 nm. The gels were then stained with ethidium bromide to reveal the molecular weight marker (ssRNA molecular weight marker, Takara). Experiments were performed in triplicate and images were quantified ImageLab (Bio-Rad, version 6.1). Decay coefficients, λ, were calculated with the formula ( ) =
, where N(t) is the amount of substrate at time t and N 0 is the initial amount. The half-lives, t 1/2 were then calculated with the formula / = ( )

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.
