A Simplified Method for the Preparation of Transcriptionally Active Liver Nuclear Extracts

Abstract: We have developed a simplified method for the preparation of liver nuclear extracts to study gene regulation and protein-DNA interactions. This protocol uses conventional laboratory equipment and standard reagents. The liver tissue is homogenized in a low-salt solution at physiological molarity with subsequent adjustment of the molarity and purification of nuclei by density sedimentation. The nuclear extracts are transcriptionally active in a validated cell-free transcription assay and contain functional DNA-b… Show more

“…Additional double-stranded oligonucleotides used as competitors and/or probes included NFkB-CONS (5Ј-AGTTGAGGGGACTTTCCCAGGC-3Ј), which contains the NFB consensus binding site, AP2CONS (5Ј-GATCGAACTGACCGC-CCGCGGCCCGT-3Ј), which contains the human metallothionein IIa promoter AP-2-binding site (22), and AML1CONS (5Ј-GGATATTT-GCGGTTAGCA-3Ј) (23). DNase I protection was performed as described (24), except that cells were lysed in 10 mM Hepes, pH 7.6, 10 mM KCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 0.1 mM EGTA, 0.75 mM spermidine, 0.1 mM spermine, 2 g/ml aprotinin, 2 g/ml leupeptin, and 10 mM Na 2 MoO 4 . Samples were subjected to electrophoresis on 6% denaturing polyacrylamide gels in parallel with a G ϩ A sequence ladder generated with the same probe.…”

“…Nuclear proteins were prepared from frozen livers using ultracentrifugation as described ( 24,25 ). Equal aliquots (20 g) of nuclear protein from individual livers were subjected to SDS-PAGE on 4-12% gels and transferred to a polyvinylidene difl uoride membrane.…”
