To label newly synthesized RNA, cells were incubated for 2 hours with [3H]-uridine (1.2 μCi/ml; PerkinElmer). Cells were counted, and the total RNA corresponding to an equal number of cells for each condition was separated by Northern blot having for the time = 0 1 μg of total RNA. Agarose-resolved RNAs were transferred to Hybond N+ membrane (GE Healthcare). After ultraviolet cross-linking, the membrane was sprayed with EN3HANCE (PerkinElmer) and exposed to Kodak BioMax MS film (Kodak) at −80°C for 1 week (22 (link)). Nascent rRNA was detected by autoradiography.
