IVT Round 9, neural progenitor cells (NPCs), FACS sorted[edit]
- USE PBS TO RESUSPEND CELLS!!! mistake made with Round 7
- Blue is using for RNA-seq data, and there is already published CHIP-seq data on the same cell line. Analyses between these datasets and THS-seq generated data can be made.
- for beads purification, RNA beads will be used. 30 uL of water will be added to the IVT sample, followed by 100 uL of RNA beads. Drying time after the washes will be 3 minutes. Elutions will be saved just in case samples did not bind to the beads.
- testing on 1000 cell samples currently gives the best data. will collect 1000 cell, 3000 cell and alot of cells (for DNA purification with FACS)
Why using RNAase III for fragmentation
- Rnase III creates 5'-PO4 and 3'-OH termini on the fragments
- however, Cuts ONLY dsRNA (used DNA blocking primer to block that)
- Preferentially cuts from 5’ and 3’ ends (used blocking primer)
- Rnase III results in 2 base 3’ overhangs
- Used in the generation of siRNAs for knockdown
- Mg++ fragmentation creates 5' OH and 3' PO4 termini, thus have to do end repair.
- End Repair with Shrink Akaline phosphatase, PNK, Antarctic phosphatase
- random nonamer is less selective and can prime off of more sequences

- RNA after ~16.5 hours IVT, run on TBU gel
- can see that it did not really work. washed cells in plate twice before transposition and probably lost them (samples 1,2). washed the vial of cells twice (samples 3,4,5) and maybe lost them there too. NTCs worked.
- will not continue experiment.

future and conclusions[edit]
- Based on positive Jurkat DNA control and NPC pure DNA the assay is working. Most probable is the cells were lost during PBS washes before performing transposition since they were at such small quantity. Washes were performed because the sheath buffer solution contained 1.0 mM Disodium EDTA. Actually 8X concentrate, thus final concentration is .125 mM However upon further examination the amount of EDTA present may not affect transposition.
- NEB EDTA stop solution for RNA fragmenation has a final concentration of 5 mM EDTA (50 mM in vial)
- Ambion (Stop Solution - 200 μL of 200 mM EDTA pH 8.0). final EDTA concentration is 20 mM.
- final concentration of EDTA in transposition reaction would be .025 to .05 mM. Probably will be fine. However, in storage solutions of enzymes concentrations are around that. Also buffer supplied for transposition has 25 mM Mg(OAc)2, which is relatively high.
- EDTA in enzyme solutions
- however in these solutions they are usually diluted 5-10X.
0.5 mM EDTA - NEB Rnase III (storage solution) 0.1 mM EDTA - MMLV storage soultion 1 mM EDTA - NEB T7 storage buffer
- As depicted below, sheath buffer is basically PBS with 1.0 mM Disodium EDTA (at 8X concentration) which is well below that used in final concentrations for RNA fragmentation stop solutions.

- also in this exchange, in order to neuatlize EDTA, Mg++ can be added in a 1:1 molar ratio, which can be done experimentally to see if there are any differences.
>Subject: EDTA-Magnesium relationship >From: Michael Allen (m3allen at sciborg.uwaterloo.ca) >Date: Thu 30 Mar 2000 - 20:33:02 BST >I was wondering if any of you could tell me how many divalent cations >(Mg2+ specifically) a single EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) >molecule can bind at one time. >I have searched high and low for this, but could not find a good answer. >Thanks in advance >Mike Allen >University of Waterloo >Ontario, Canada Chelation of magnesium by EDTA occurs at a 1:1 molar ratio. The stability constants of EDTA for Ca++ and Mg++ are 10.61 and 8.83. The log10 of the difference (1.78) is approximately 60, therefore the ratio of complexed Ca++ to Mg++ in an equimolar mix is about 60:1. EGTA has a lower stability constant for Mg++, so the ratio is about 4 e 5. The Ki at pH 7 or 8 is the "apparent" value at a particular pH which considers all forms of complexing species, rather than only the most anionic. EDTA has 4 pKa values (1.99, 2.67, 6.16 and 10.26) and, at pH 7.0, a = 2.08 e 3, so that log a = 3.3. For Mg++:EDTA at pH 7.0: log Ki (apparent) = 8.7 - 3.3 = 5.4. See R. M. C. Dawson, D. C.

- Lastly, can do an experiment with GM12878 cells where the cells are washed with sheath buffer instead of PBS and quantify RNA after IVT. Samples could be: 1000 cells, 1000 cells extra MgCl2 in 1:1 ratio to neutralize, Jurkat DNA control.
- This will tell us if the EDTA in sheath buffer is affecting the reaction at all, or if EDTA can be neutralized by addition of MgCl2.
- However since the given concentration of Mg++ in the transposition reaction is 25 mM, maybe that will easily neutralize it.
