Assessment of interference by rNTPs. ( A–D ) The assay reactions (197-nt templates) were spiked with the indicated amounts of rNTPs and the change in the dNTP signal was measured. The concentrations shown are final reaction concentrations. The estimated upper ranges for rNTP/dNTP ratios are shown for cultured cell and post-mitotic tissues. (E, F) The effect of reaction time on the apparent interfering GTP ( E ) and ATP ( F ) signal. The purple dashed line represents the expected increase in the interfering signal assuming true ATP incorporation, essentially steady-state supply of ATP, and a time-dependent exhaustion of dATP during the reaction. Reaction time-independent increase in signal suggests trace amounts (∼0.015%) of dATP in the ATP preparation. (G, H) Melt curve analysis of <t>RNAse</t> <t>HII-nicked</t> 50-nt products of rGTP/dGTP ( G ) and rATP/dATP assay reactions ( H ). For reactions containing 2 mM ATP, 1.6 mM MgCl 2 was added to compensate the chelation of Mg 2+ by ATP. (I, J) Denaturing polyacrylamide (13%) gel electrophoresis of the reaction products with and without thermostable RNAse HII. The rNTP-incorporating Thermococcus 9°N-7 mutant DNA polymerase (Therminator) was used as positive control for the ATP incorporation. shows similar assessment of ATP incorporation using alkaline cleavage of ribonucleotide bonds. The error bars in the figures represent standard deviation and mean from three technical replicates.

HIF2a-Dependent mTORC1 Activ- ity and SLC7A5 Expression in VHL-Deficient Liver Tissue (A) Protein extracts from the livers of Vhlfl-UBC- Cre-ERT2, VhlflHIF2afl-UBC-Cre-ERT2, and the corresponding control mice were analyzed by western blots with the indicated antibodies. (B) SLC7A5 immunostaining of liver tissue (hepa- tocytes) from Vhlfl-UBC-Cre-ERT2, VhlflHIF2afl- UBC-Cre-ERT2, and corresponding control mice. Relative expression of Slc7a5 and Pgk-1 genes in the livers of Vhlfl-UBC-Cre-ERT2 (n = 7), VhlflHIF2afl-UBC-Cre-ERT2 (n = 6), and corre- sponding control mice (n = 7). The mean is shown; error bars represent SEM (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001). See also Figure S6.

Article Snippet: After separation, the proteins were transferred by electroblotting onto a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane Sequi- BlotTM PVDF (BioRad, Hercules, CA) in 25 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.3), 192 mM glycine, 20% v/v methanol at 25 V for 50 min. After blotting, the membrane was washed with 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.3), 138 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 0.05% Tween 20 (TBS-T), blocked with TBS-T containing 2% w/v skim milk, and incubated with mouse anti human RH2A polyclonal antibody, Anti RNASEH2A (Proteintech, Rosemont, IL, 1:1000 in TBS-T containing 1% w/v skim milk).
