Size markers

This SRM contains human cells from two cell culture lines from which DNA can be extracted, genomic DNA from those two cell lines plus eight individuals, PCR-amplified DNA from the two cell lines plus four of the eight individuals, a D1S80 allelic ladder for characterization of amplified DNA, and a DNA size marker to assure proper electrophoretic separations. 

Load the sample on the gel. Also load an RNA size marker, the uncut and cut controls, and a sample (2-10 fig) of untreated RNA. Run the gel in 1 x MOPS buffer to obtain the best resolution of the expected cleavage products. 

Running an RNA size marker is critical for the correct identification of the cleavage products. Resuspend the RNA marker in the same buffer as the samples, yet exclude any dyes that may obscure some of its bands. The uncut and cut samples are also important because they can indicate the efficiency of cleavage as well as the nonspecific bands. 

Comparison with axial ligand complexes formed by Ni porphyrins in coordinating solvents (e. g. pyrrolidine, piperidine, and pyridine), however, shows a clear distinction between the frequencies of the "form 5" marker lines of the reconstituted proteins and those of the 6-coordinate models (9). The shifts of the 6-coordinate species relative to the 4-coordinate species are larger than for the form labeled 5 (Figure 1) of the proteins. The shifts for the 6-coordjnate models are about -41 cm ( iq)> i cm (i/g), and -41 cm (i/ ) for the core-size markers ana -12 cm...

Sodium dodecyl sulfide-polyaciy-lamide gel electrophoresis and Coomassie Brilliant Blue-stained gel of the partially purified products marked with asterisks (A), and the autoradiogram (B). Lanes 1-6 represent Atlg07150, At5g49760, At2g02800, At5g62710, and At4g35500, respectively. NC denotes samples from the reaction mixture incubated in the absence of mRNA. M protein size marker. Note that product of Atlg07150 (lane 1) did not show activity.

Thermocycler protocol Initial denaturing at 94 °C for 5 min 25 cycles of 94 °C for 30 s, 55 °C for 30 s, 68 °C for 1 min final extension 72 °C for 7 min. After the thermocycling protocol is complete, 5—10 pi of the reaction is analyzed on an agarose gel with an appropriate size marker ladder to verify that a product of the desired length has been produced and to verify that the product is pure (Fig. 1.3). The desired DNA product will be 200 bp larger than the size of the final desired RNA product (i.e., for an RNA product of 100 nt, the size of the DNA template made by this method will be 300 bp).

Figure 7.7. Agarose gel electrophoresis of total RNA. Total RNA from mouse skin (panel a, lane 2) and two human cadaver skin samples (panel b, lanes 1 and 2) were isolated by guanidine thiocyanate method and size fractionated on denaturing formaldehyde containing 1% agarose gel and stained with 0.5 pg/mL ethidium bromide. Note that in case of mouse skin RNA, two distinct ribosomal RNA bands (upper 28S and lower 18S bands) are clearly visible. In contrast, in case of human skin samples, which were collected several hours postmortem, there is partial RNA degradation as is evident by fuzzy 28S and 18S ribosomal RNA bands. RNA degradation is more pronounced in one of the samples than the other (panel b, compare lane 1 and lane 2). Ribosomal RNA bands are indicated by arrowheads. RNA size markers (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) in the range 0.24 to 9.5 kb are in lane 1 (panel a) and lane 3 (panel b).

At4g26420, At5g04380, At5g37990, At5g66430) showed no expression in any of the four tissues. The lane labeled M contains DNA size markers. 

Align the autoradiogram with the gel and mark the position of the wells on the film. Identify the RNA size marker bands on the autoradiogram (three of them in one lane). The instructor will provide you with the information that you need to determine the number of nucleotides that each standard RNA marker contains.

Add 10 pL of 6X bromophenol blue tracking dye to each sample, and incubate at 70°C for 5 min. Load 20 pL of 1.0-kb ladder size markers into the two far left-hand wells, and 20 pL of the HBV markers into the two far right-hand wells. Load 50 pL of each cellular DNA sample into the remaining wells. Run the gel at 100 V for approx 1-1.5 h at room temperature. Stop electrophoresis when the bromophenol blue dye front is approx 2 cm from the bottom of each of the running areas. Store the remaining cellular DNA samples at -20°C.
