Northern blotting of RNA denatured in glyoxal without buffer recirculation.
نویسنده
چکیده
A rapid and easy procedure for preparing Northern blots is described. RNA is denatured with glyoxal in the presence of ethidium bromide and glycerol, then electrophoresed through agarose in a buffer that does not require recirculation. Without any additional washes, the RNA is vacuum-blotted to a nylon membrane in NaOH, which simultaneously removes the glyoxal adducts. All of these steps plus prehybridization of the filter and addition of a digoxygenin-labeled probe can be completed in one day. Using standard procedures to wash the filters and detect the probe, the entire procedure can be completed within two days.

Northern hybridization: rapid and simple electrophoretic conditions.
Current methods for Northern blot analysis to determine mRNA abundance in tissues are tedious and utilize toxic chemicals. The requirement for chemicals of high purity, free of ribonucleases, and the lability of RNA, in comparison to DNA, are additional factors preventing wider use of the technique. For Northern blot analysis, RNA is generally denatured with glyoxal (1) or formaldehyde (2) prio...
متن کاملAnalysis of single- and double-stranded nucleic acids on polyacrylamide and agarose gels by using glyoxal and acridine orange.
We have developed a simple and rapid system for the denaturation of nucleic acids and their subsequent analysis by gel electrophoresis. RNA and DNA are denatured in 1 M glyoxal (ethanedial) and 50% (vol/vol) dimethyl sulfoxide, at 50 degrees. The glyoxalated nucleic acids are then subjected to electrophoresis through either acrylamide or agarose gels in a 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer at pH 7.0...
متن کاملSize-fractionation of RNA by hot agarose electrophoresis.
Since RNA molecules commonly form stable secondary structures, agarose gel size-fractionation of RNA is routinely achieved by chemical denaturing conditions during electrophoresis. This implies the use of toxic compounds such as methylmercuric hydroxide (1), formaldehyde (3) or cumbersome electrophoretic conditions using glyoxal and dimethylsulfoxide (4) after RNA denaturation. Here, we describ...
متن کاملNorthern blot detection of endogenous small RNAs (∼14 nt) in bacterial total RNA extracts
Here we describe a northern blot procedure that allows the detection of endogenous RNAs as small as approximately 14 nt in total RNA extracts from bacteria. RNAs that small and as part of total bacterial RNA extracts usually escape detection by northern blotting. The approach combines LNA probes 5'-digoxigenin-endlabeled for non-radioactive probe detection with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)...
متن کاملMessenger RNA processing and nuclear structure: isolation of nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles containing beta-globin messenger RNA precursors
To explore the relationships between transcription, messenger RNA (mRNA) processing, and nuclear structure, ribonucleoprotein particles containing heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNP) have been purified from globin-producing mouse Friend erythroleukemia cells. These nuclear hnRNP particles sediment at 50S-200S and contain, in addition to high molecular weight hnRNA, a specific set of nuclear prote...
