Figure Lengend Snippet: a A schematic representation of the glycoRNA labeling and purification strategy, following the procedure described by Flynn et al. . b A northern blot of RNA extracted from metabolically labeled 3T3 and HeLa cells. RNA was purified as outlined in a and conjugated to DBCO–biotin. Methylene blue was used to detect RNA on the nitrocellulose membrane. A streptavidin–peroxidase probe was used to detect the labeled glycans conjugated to DBCO–biotin. c The in-gel fluorescence detection of labeled glycans in preparations of RNA extracted from metabolically labeled 3T3 and HeLa cells. RNA was purified as in a and conjugated to DBCO–AF647. Following gel electrophoresis, the labeled glycans were visualized directly in the agarose gel. EtBr staining serves as a loading control. The biological triplicates are shown. d The RNase A/T1 treatment of RNA extracted from metabolically labeled HeLa cells. The first two lanes show undigested controls in ultrapure water or in digestion buffer. After the incubation with RNase A/T1, the samples were split. One half was left untreated, and the other was purified using silica columns. Three replicates of individual digestions are shown.
Article Snippet: Typically, 9 μl of RNA was mixed with 10 μl of dye free gel loading buffer (df-GLB; final concentration: 50% formamide, 9 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and 0.0125% SDS) and 1 μl of DBCO–PEG 4 –biotin (Jena Bioscience) or DBCO–AF647 (Jena Bioscience).
