5’ 32P-label pre-tRNA substrates (2 substrates): Dephosphorylation:
- 0.5 µl 40 µM RNA
- 27.5 µl water
- 0.75 µl 2M trisHCl, pH 8.1
- 1 µl CIP (calf intestine alkaline phosphatase)
- 37 ºC for 30 min.
- +20 µl 50 mM KOAc/200 mM KCl, pH 7 (C+S buffer)
- “Gentle” Phenol/CHCl3 extraction, followed by ethanol precipitation.
- Kinase reaction (This is the HOT HOT step):
- 2 µl 10x kinase buffer (provided by USB)
- 15.5 µl water
- 2 µl γ-32P-ATP (25 µM)
- 0.5 µl T4 kinase (USB)
- Split into 2x10µl, add to pellet from (i).
- 37 ºC for 30 min.
Purify on P6 spin columns (Bio-Rad) Perform this spin column procedure 4-6 times to ensure NO free 32P-ATP is present. Aliquot and Ethanol precipitate, spin down, 80% EtOH wash (x2) Carefully pour off all Ethanol, air dry O/N in hood FULLY protected. Store at -20ºC (should be good for two weeks). Dissolve the aliquot in 40-60 µl water immediately prior to use.
I. Cleavage reaction (e.g. for 50 nM [Enzyme] final). Final buffer condition: 1x THE, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1 M NH4OAc.
- Holoenzyme folding (make 1 µM first, then dilute):
- 1.25 µl 10x THE buffer
- 1.25 µl 10 µM P RNA
- 1.25 µl 10 µM P protein
- 6.25 µl water
85-90 ºC for 2 min. Room temperature for 3 min. + 1.25 µl 100 mM MgCl2 50 ºC for 10 min. + 1.25 µl 1 M NH4OAc 37 ºC for 5 min. 1.25 µl + 11.25 1xTHE/MgCl2/NH4OAc
- Substrate folding:
2.5 µl 10x THE buffer 4 µl 5’ 32P-labeled substrate 13.5 µl water 85-90 ºC for 2 min. Room temperature for 3 min. + 2.5 µl 100 mM MgCl2 + 2.5 µl 1 M NH4OAc 37 ºC for 5 min. Save 1 µl + 5 µl 9M urea/50 mM EDTA/BPB/XC, this sample is t = 0.
(iii) Reaction: Start reaction by mixing 5 µl Enzyme + 5 µl substrate. Incubate at 37 ºC. At 0.25, 1, 4, 16 min, mix 2 µl reaction mixture + 5 µl 9M urea/50 mM EDTA/BPB/XC.
(iv) Gel and TLC: For +9 and +1-tRNA substrates, separate substrate from product on 15% denaturing gel, run BPB about halfway done (for +1-tRNA substrate analysis, see image below). For +1-tRNA substrate, spot 1.5 µl mixture on cellulose PEI plate, run TLC in 5% acetic acid/100 mM
