    Promega hela cell nuclear extracts in vitro transcription grade
    <t>HeLa</t> cells were permeabilized with digitonin and washed in import buffer as described under “Experimental Procedures.” The reactions were carried out at 37 °C in transport buffer containing an ATP-regenerating system, 2 mm GTP, 5–7 mg/ml HeLa cytoplasmic extract, and 10 µg/ml Fl-PNA/pUSAG3. Reactions were stopped at 0.5 h (A), 1 h (B, 1.5 h (C), 2 h (D), 3 h (E), and 4 h (F) by washing the cells with wash buffer and fixing them at 4 °C for 15 min in 3% paraformaldehyde in wash buffer. Half-micron sections of the cells were observed and digitized by confocal microscopy.

    Permeabilized HeLa cells were incubated for 4 h at 37 °C with transport buffer containing HeLa cytoplasmic extract (5 mg/ml) and Fl-PNA/pUSAG3 (10 µg/ml) in the absence (A) or presence of a 1000-fold molar excess of BSA-NLS (0.23 mg/ml; B), a 100-fold excess of pUC19 (0.7 mg/ml; C), or a 100-fold molar excess of SV40 DNA (1.3 mg/ml; D).

    Techniques: Incubation

    Permeabilized HeLa cells were incubated for 4 h at 37 °C in transport buffer containing BSA alone (A and C) or HeLa cytoplasmic extract at 5 mg/ml (B and D). The substrates used were either Fl-PNA/pUSAG3 (A and B) or Fl-PNA/pUSAG3DSV40 (C and D), both present at 10 µg/ml.

    Techniques: Incubation

    Plasmid DNA (0.1 µg) was incubated for 4 h at 37 °C with HeLa cell cytoplasmic extract (5 mg/ml) in transport buffer. Protein was removed by phenol: chloroform extraction, and the DNAs were separated by agarose gel electrophoresis, transferred to a nylon membrane, and probed using a mixture of 32P-labeled pUSAG3 and pGenegrip blank. Lanes 1–3 contain 0.1 µg of unincubated plasmid used as starting material, and lanes 4–6 contain DNA incubated with cytoplasmic extract. Three plasmids were used: Fl-PNA/pUSAG3 (lanes 1 and 4), rhodamine-labeled PNA/ pGenegrip-GFP (lanes 2 and 5), and unlabeled pUSAG3 (lanes 3 and 6).
