The anti-Sur1 and anti-Trpm4 antibodies used in this study are listed in Table 2. Anti-Myc and anti-HSC70 antibodies were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA). Anti-FLAG antibody and anti-calmodulin antibody were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (Beverly, MA). Two different sources of both anti-Sur1 and anti-Trpm4 antibodies were developed for this study (Table 2). To construct a bacterial expression vector encoding the intracellular nucleotide-binding domain 1 of Sur1 fused with hexahistidine, the corresponding region of the rat Sur1 cDNA sequence (amino acids 598–965 of NP_037171) was cloned into pQE30 (Qiagen, Gaithersburg, MD). The recombinant protein was purified by using a Ni+-nitrilotriacetic acid-agarose column and used to raise antibodies in rabbit and in goat, which was performed by a commercial service (Covance, Princeton, NJ). Using the same method, anti-Trpm4 antibodies targeting the N-terminal intracellular domain of mouse Trpm4, corresponding to amino acids 1–612 (NP_780339), were developed in rabbit and in chicken.
The specificity of the antibodies described above was validated using lysates from the appropriate Sur1 or Trpm4 expression systems and spinal cord tissues from wild-type, Trpm4−/−, and Abcc8−/− mice. Anti-Sur1-b antibody and anti-Trpm4-b antibody were used to immunoisolate Sur1 and Trpm4, respectively, from the various lysates. Subsequently, in one experiment, immunoblots of the immunoisolated proteins were performed using anti-Sur1-a antibody and anti-Trpm4-a antibody, respectively (see Fig. 9). In a parallel experiment, electrophoresis gels of the immunoisolated proteins were developed with Coomassie Blue stain, the protein bands at the appropriate molecular masses were isolated, and peptide fragments were analyzed by mass spectrometry (Taplin Mass Spectrometry Facility, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA), which confirmed the identity of Sur1 and Trpm4.

Lactoferrin supplied by the manufacturers was used without further purification. For apolactoferrin, preparation containing 50 mg/mL protein was dissolved in water and dialyzed extensively against 100 mM citrate buffer for 24 h, followed by dialysis against distilled water for 24 h [37 (link)]. Temperature (4 and 20 °C) and buffer pH (2.0–5.0) were modified in order to monitor their impact on iron desaturation. Iron saturation was calculated based on the A280/A466 ratio according to the calibration curve presented in “Results and discussion.” We define the iron saturation level of lactoferrin as the percentage of iron-binding sites occupied by ferric ions assuming that 2 mol of iron(III) ions is bound per 1 mol of protein. Thus, the given values refer to the percentage of differic lactoferrin. For some of these samples, the ICP-MS and ELISA tests were carried out and were used to prepare a calibration curve.
Hololactoferrin was prepared by the reaction of 50 mg/mL lactoferrin solution in 50 mM Tris–HCl, 150 mM NaCl (pH 7.4) with ferric nitrate salt in the presence of nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) as well as different concentrations of sodium bicarbonate [24 (link)]. After incubation, excess iron was removed by dialysis against the same buffer solution without ferric salts for 24 h and against water for another 24 h. Various incubation times, temperatures, as well as ratios of Lf/Fe/NTA were employed to examine their effect on iron saturation efficiency; detailed conditions are depicted in the captions of figures.

Constructs were transformed into the BL12-derived Rosetta2 BL21(DE3) line (EMD Millipore). 50mL starter cultures were grown overnight in LB-Ampicillin. These were added to 450mL of LB and grown to an OD600 of 0.8–1 before induction with 0.5mM Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). Cultures were allowed to express for 24hrs at 25°C. Cells were then harvested by centrifugation (6000 RPM, 15min) and resuspended in 10mL of lysis buffer (50mM NaH2PO4, 300mM NaCl, 1mg/mL Lysozyme, 1 EDTA-free cOmplete Mini protease inhibitor tablet (Roche), pH 7.5). Lysates were incubated at room temperature for 30min under gentle agitation before freezing overnight at −80°C. Samples were then thawed and incubated for 30min with DNAse I (Roche) under gentle agitation. Lysates were then sonicated and separated by centrifugation (10,000 rpm, 30min).
For optimization experiments, 8mL of clarified lysate for each condition was incubated for 1 hr with 0.6mL Talon resin (Clontech, equilibrated in lysis buffer). The lysate and beads were then added to a column and beads were washed with 6mL STEPL buffer (20mM Tris-base, 50mM NaCl, pH 7.5). Washed beads were resuspended in a total of 1.2mL of STEPL buffer containing the indicated amounts of CaCl2 and triglycine (Sigma-Aldrich) and aliquoted into three 1.5mL microcentrifuge tubes. Samples were shaken at 1,000 rpm, the indicated temperature, and protected from light. At each timepoint, samples were spun down at 3,000 rpm for 5min. Absorbance spectra were taken of the supernatants from 400 – 600nm using a Cary 100 Bio UV-Visible Spectrophotometer (Varian) and the sample was returned to shaking. At the end of the timecourse, beads were washed three times with 1mL STEPL buffer and incubated for 30 min in 100mM EDTA. Stripped beads were spun down as before and the absorbance spectra were taken of the supernatants from 400 – 600nm.
For bioconjugation experiments, 8mL of clarified lysate was incubated for 1hr with 0.5mL Talon resin (equilibrated in lysis buffer). The lysate and beads were added to a column and beads were washed with 5mL STEPL buffer. 400μL of STEPL buffer containing 150μM synthetic peptide (Table 2) or 5mM triglycine (for labeled and unlabeled preparations, respectively) and 100μM CaCl2 was flowed over the beads until it replaced the wash buffer. Columns were protected from light and reacted for 6hrs at 37°C. 1mL of STEPL buffer was added to the column and the flow through collected. To remove unreacted peptide, flowthrough was dialyzed three times against 4L of STEPL buffer at 4°C while protected from light (Slide-A-Lyzer2 cassettes, 3.5K cutoff, Thermo Scientific).

The full-length gene for TafE was amplified from A. baumannii genomic DNA using the appropriate primers (Table S1), and the PCR product was digested with BamHI/SalI and inserted into pETSumo (Thermo Fisher) to produce sumo-His6-tagged fusion proteins. The gene coding for TaeI, an immunity protein that antagonizes the activity of TafE, was cloned into pGEX-6P-1 to express GST-TaeI. When needed, substitution mutations were introduced using the QuikChange kit (Agilent) and fusion PCR. E. coli strain BL21(DE3) was used as the host for expression and purification of recombinant proteins.
Amounts of 20 mL of overnight cultures were transferred to 500 mL LB broth supplemented with 100 μg/mL of ampicillin or 30 μg/mL of kanamycin. Cultures were grown to an optical density at 600 nm (OD600) of 0.6 in a shaker (200 rpm) at 37°C. The expression of the fusion protein was induced at 16°C by adding 0.2 mM IPTG (isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside) for 18 h. The harvested cell pellets were resuspended in lysis buffer (50 mM NaH2PO4, 300 mM NaCl, 10 mM imidazole) and were lysed by using a cell homogenizer (JN-mini; JNBio, Guangzhou, China). The supernatant of lysed cells was mixed with Ni2+-nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) or glutathione beads at 4°C for 1 h. Ni2+-NTA resin was extensively washed with washing buffer (50 mM NaH2PO4, 300 mM NaCl, 20 mM imidazole) following protein binding. Glutathione beads were washed with 20× the column volume of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Bound His6-sumo-tagged proteins were eluted five times with the same buffer containing 250 mM imidazole. GST-tagged proteins were eluted with 10 mM glutathione. His6-Hcp and His6-TafE fusion proteins were similarly purified with Ni2+-NTA beads. The purity of the proteins was evaluated by SDS-PAGE followed by Coomassie brilliant blue staining, and only proteins purer than 95% were used in subsequent experiments. Proteins were dialyzed in a storage buffer (50 mM Tris·HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol) at 4°C. Protein concentration was determined by the Bradford method.

For rhavi fusion proteins, seven constructs, each of which contained up to three Mtb antigens, were prepared by inserting Mtb DNA sequence(s) at the 3′ end of the rhavi gene (see Table S1 in the supplemental material) and then cloned into the pET21b vector. Lipidated rhavi was constructed by adding a lipidation box at the 5′ end of the rhavi gene as described previously (32 (link)). All Mtb proteins (nonfusion) and lipidated rhavi were expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) cells, and all rhavi-Mtb fusion antigens were expressed in T7 shuffle express cells. The recombinant His-tagged proteins were then purified using nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) resin followed by size exclusion chromatography as described previously (32 (link)). The purified proteins were then concentrated, filtered via 0.2-μm filters, aliquoted, and stored at −80°C until use.
