You have discovered a novel alternatively spliced gene (gene X) and you wish to study its regulation in an in vitro splicing assay. The alternatively spliced product retains intron 2 and is produced only in hepatocytes, whereas the standard mRNA is expressed in fibroblasts. The structure of the standard mRNA and the alternatively spliced form are shown below.
Conveniently, you have two cell lines available (one is derived from hepatocytes and the other from fibroblasts) that also show the same splicing patterns of this mRNA as that seen in tissue. You have already prepared a nuclear extract from each of these cell lines that you hope will provide the essential splicing proteins and snRNAs that are required for splicing your RNAs in an in vitro splicing reaction. You have already used PCR to amplify a genomic clone of the whole gene, which includes introns and exons. The primers are shown below with arrows. The 5' ends of the primers contain unique restriction enzyme sites to facilitate cloning in the later steps.
A. Briefly describe the major steps you would take to use the pcr product (500 bp) to generate a 32P-UTP labeled pre-mRNA run-off transcript (internal/uniformly labeled) that could be used in your in vitro splicing reactions. One or two sentences per step should be sufficient. Make sure you include details on the orientation of the PCR product in the construction.
B. You now prepare a freshly labeled gene X pre-mRNA from the construct you prepared from part a. You set up three in vitro splicing reactions in three different 0.5 ml tubes as described below. All have your labeled RNA but each contains a different protein extract or no extract. After incubation for 5 hours, which you have read should be long enough to get near complete splicing, you purify RNA from the reactions and run them on a denaturing PAGE followed by X-ray film exposure. The result is shown below. You suspect that the two darker bands (labeled a and b) may be the mature spliced mRNAs but you can't tell with certainty from this experiment. Using a technique we discussed in the lecture, suggest a follow-up experiment that could demonstrate that these two bands are in fact the correctly spliced mRNAs as depicted above. You can either use RNA purified from the gel shown below or you can go back and set up new reactions using your reagents. Explain briefly what you would do and what the experiment would show.
