| Title |
neural-specific, 1 hour pulse, replicate 2 |
| Sample type |
RNA |
| |
|
| Source name |
neural-specific, 1 hour pulse, replicate 2
|
| Organism |
Drosophila melanogaster |
| Characteristics |
tissue: embryonic nervous system
genotype: Pros-Gal4 X UAS-T.g.UPRT
age: stage 12 - 15
timepoint: 1 hour pulse
|
| Treatment protocol |
Embryos were permeabilized and pulse-labeled in tagging media [D22 insect media, 5% FBS, and either 1mM 4-thiouridine (whole embryo tagging) or 1mM 4-thiouracil (neural-specific tagging)] for 1 hour at 30°C. Pulse-labeled embryos were then transferred for 1 or 3 hours to chase media containing uridine [D22 insect media, 5% FBS, 10mM uridine] at 30°C. Embryos were homogenized for 30 seconds and frozen in Trizol (Invitrogen) at -80°C. Multiple samples for each time-point were pooled for RNA extraction and TU-RNA purification, as previously described
|
| Growth protocol |
embryos were collected on standard apple juice, agar plates and reared at 18C or 25C to reach stage 12 - 15
|
| Extracted molecule |
total RNA |
| Extraction protocol |
Total RNA was extracted using trizol purification protocols. TU-RNA was purified as previously described.
|
| Label |
Cy3
|
| Label protocol |
Purified TU-RNA plus a spike-in control (One-Color RNA Spike-In Kit, Agilent) was used to generate Cy3 labeled cRNA (Low Input Quick Amp Labeling Kit, Agilent) and hybridized to Agilent 4x44K Drosophila gene expression microarrays.
|
| |
|
| Hybridization protocol |
1.65 micrograms of Cy3 labeled cRNA was combined with the recommended dilution of spike-in control and hybridized following manufacturer's instructions
|
| Scan protocol |
Slides were scanned immediately after washing on the GenePix 4000B scanner, with pixel size 10, scan power 100%, and 532nm PMTGain set between 500 and 700.
|
| Description |
TU-RNA present after 1 hour pulse
|
| Data processing |
Spot alignments and data measurements were made using GenePix Pro 5.1 software. Post-processing of GenePix Pro data was performed in R.
Signal intensities within a pulse-chase series were normalized using the spike-in control. Threshold F532 intensity (mean - background) for a spot to be considered present (signal above background) was determined for each pulse-chase series by averaging the signals for maternal mRNAs that should not be present in the TU-RNA samples at any timepoint. Spots with signals below this average value were removed from analysis.
