Buffers

• S30A buffer is prepared according to Sun et al. 2013 and contains
  • 14 mM Mg-glutamate
  • 60 mM K-glutamate
  • 50 mM TRIS
  at pH = 7.7 (with acetic acid), autoclaved, stored at 4 °C. Right before use, DTT is added to 2 mM final concentration.
• S30 buffer (buffer A from Kwon and Jewett 2015) with lower TRIS concentration
  • 14 mM Mg-glutamate
  • 60 mM K-glutamate
  • 10 mM TRIS
  at pH = 8.2 (with acetic acid), autoclaved, stored at 4 °C. Right before use, DTT is added to 2 mM final concentration.

Stock solutions

• 1.5 M Spermidine and 1 M putrescine solutions are prepared according to supporting material from Yang et al. 2012a. Briefly, a total of 4.59 mL of autoclaved MilliQ water is added in small steps to a 1 g bottle of spermidine. After each step, the bottle is mixed vigorously and the liquid is poured into a beaker where it is continously stirred. After rinsing out the whole bottle, the homogenous solution is aliquoted, flash freezed and stored at -80 °C. The procedure is similar for putrescine, though volumes differ.
• NTP mixture is prepared from ATP, CTP, GTP and UTP stock solutions (100 mM) from Thermo Scientific. 20x NTP premix contains 30 mM of ATP and GTP, 18 mM CTP and UTP.
• 330 mM Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) stock solution is prepared and pH is adjusted with 5 M KOH according to supporting material from Yang et al. 2012a
