ADAMTSL5 11mer peptide (20 nM) was incubated with purified recombinant ERAP1 Hap2 or Hap10 (2μg) at 37°C in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) for up to 2 h. Reactions were stopped by the addition of 0.5% trifluoroacetic acid. Each sample was analyzed for peptide digestion by RP-HPLC (Shimadzu) on a 2.1 mm × 250 mm C18 column (Vydac) over a gradient of 18-34% acetonitrile and a flow rate of 0.25 ml/min. Peptide peaks were analyzed using LC Solutions software (Shimadzu). Synthetic peptides (20 nM) and buffer only samples were run and analyzed in identical conditions to establish the ADAMTSL5 peptide series retention times and the absence of cross-contamination (Fig. 5A).

The multi-vitamins stock solution was prepared by weighing in a 100 mL volumetric flask 5 mg of vitamin B12; 12.5 mg of vitamin B2; 25 mg each of vitamins B1, B6 and B3. Forty millilitres (40 mL) of water was then added and the solution was shaken vigorously before adding 4 mL of 2 M NaOH. After complete dissolution of the vitamins, 50 mL of 1 M phosphate buffer (pH 5.5) was added and the solution made up to the mark with water. Stock standard solutions were prepared daily. Different concentrations of the standards were injected into the HPLC to obtain the peak areas. Peak areas were plotted against concentration for each vitamin to make specific calibration curves. The Shimadzu LC-2010CHT HPLC system was used with conditions according to Moreno et al. [25 (link)]. A volume of 20 µL for each sample was injected into the HPLC equipped with a C18 reversed-phase column (250 × 4.6 mm, 4 μm), 0.05 M ammonium acetate (solvent A)–methanol (solvent B) 92.5:7.2 as mobile phase at 1 mL/minute flow rate. A diode array detector was used to scan from 200 to 500 nm and LC-solutions software (Shimadzu, Japan) was used to integrate the peak areas for each vitamin. After the run, the peak area of each unknown sample was obtained, and concentrations were calculated using the calibration curves.

The chemical composition of samples was assessed on a Shimadzu HPLC (Shimadzu Scientific Instruments) equipped with an RID-10A refractive index detector. 30 μL injections were run on an Aminex HPX-87H column (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA) at 50C with 0.01 N H 2SO4 mobile phase and a flow rate of 0.6 ml/minute. External standards were run approximately daily containing acetate, butyrate, formate, glucose, lactate, propionate, and succinate at 8 concentrations between 0.1 mM to 20 mM. Due to the complexity of the chromatogram, the identity and area of retained peaks was curated manually, assisted by the LC Solutions Software (Shimadzu Scientific Instruments) Standard curves were fit using weighted regression (inverse square of the concentration), and, for all compounds except propionate, without an intercept.

Measurement of plasma MEL levels was carried out as per the method reported previously with some modifications.24 Briefly, MEL levels in plasma samples were measured using a validated LC/MS-MS using a Shimadzu-Nexera X2 ultra HPLC consisting of binary gradient pumps (LC-30AD), auto sampler (SIL-30AC), mobile phase degasser (DGU20ASR), and a column oven (CTO-20AC) coupled with an LCMS-8050 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). The data were analyzed using LC Solutions software (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). The parameters were adjusted to yield maximum multiple reaction monitoring signals. The Q1/Q3 for MEL was set at 304.80 > 288.10 m/z and 182.70 > 119.80 m/z for IS NPEA in the positive electrospray ionization mode, respectively. Chromatographic separation of the analytes was done using Luna C18 (4.6 × 150 mm, 5 μm, Phenomenex, USA) protected with a C18 guard column from the same source. The liquid chromatography conditions were as follows: solvent A: water containing 0.1% formic acid and solvent B: 0.1%; formic acid in acetonitrile was used as mobile phase with gradient elution of solvent B at 20% (0-4.0 minutes); 80% (4.0-6.0 minutes); 20% (7.0-10.0 minutes) at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The total run time was 10 minutes. Retention time for MEL was 2.2 minutes and the IS was 2.7 minutes. The concentration of MEL was expressed as ng/mL.

The organic acid quantification was based on Rawi et al. (2021) (link). The fermentation sample from each sampling period was pipetted into a 2 mL microcentrifuge tube for centrifugation (Centrifuge-5804, Eppendorf) at 13000 rpm for 10 min to obtain a clear supernatant. The supernatant was filtered through a 0.22 μm syringe filter unit (Millipore) into an HPLC vial (Agilent Technologies, Cheshire, United Kingdom). Prominence Series Liquid Chromatography (Shimadzu Corp., Japan) using a reverse phase ion-exclusion C12 column (Rezex ROA, Phenomenex) was used for SCFA analysis. Analytes were detected using a UV detector at a wavelength of 210 nm. The isocratic mobile phase used was 0.25 mM sulphuric acid (H2SO4). A 15 μL sample was injected into the heated column (40°C) programmed to run in isocratic elution at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min for 40 min. The peaks and response factors within the sample were calibrated and calculated using the LC Solutions software (Shimadzu). The standard solution contained of 12.5, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, and 200 mM acetate, butyrate, propionate, and lactate.

Experiments were performed using a Shimadzu high-performance liquid chromatography system equipped with a temperature controlled auto sampler and a photodiode array detector capable of recording UV absorbance spectra from 200−400 nm. A Tosoh TSK-Gel Bioassist G3SWXL column (7.8 mm ID×30.0 cm L) and a corresponding guard column (TOSOH Biosciences, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania) were used for IgG1 Fc glycoform characterization. First, the SEC column was equilibrated for at least 10 CV with a mobile phase containing 200 mM sodium phosphate, pH 6.8 and a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min at 30 °C column temperature. Next, the column was calibrated using gel filtration molecular weight standards (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) before and after the runs of IgG1 Fc glycoform to ensure column and HPLC system integrity. All Fc samples were centrifuged at 14,000 g for 5 min before injection to remove insoluble protein aggregates. Protein samples at a concentration of 1 mg/mL were injected in a volume of 25 µL, and a 30 min run time was used for elution. Peaks quantification was carried out using LC solutions software (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). The error bars for monomer content for all the four IgG1 Fc samples and soluble dimer aggregates (observed in N297Q IgG1 Fc) represent standard deviation (SD) of triplicate measurements.61 (link),62 (link)

Experiments were conducted on a system comprising a Wyatt HELEOS-II multiangle light scattering detector and a Wyatt rEX refractive index detector linked to a Shimadzu liquid chromatography (LC) system (SPD-20A UV detector, LC20-AD isocratic pump system, DGU-20A3 degasser, and SIL-20A autosampler). Experiments were conducted at room temperature (20 ± 2 °C). Solvents were filtered through a 0.2 µm filter prior to use, and a 0.1 µm filter was present in the flow path. The column was equilibrated with >2 CV of buffer (50 mM NaPi, 300 mM NaCl pH 7.4) before use and buffer was infused at the working flow rate until baselines for UV, light scattering, and refractive index detectors were all stable. The sample injection volume was 100 µL of protein at 6 mg mL−1 in 50 mM NaPi buffer, 300 mM NaCl pH 7.4. Shimadzu LC Solutions software was used to control the LC and Astra V software for the HELEOS-II and rEX detectors. The Astra data collection was 1 min shorter than the LC solutions run to maintain synchronization. Blank buffer injections were used as appropriate to check for carryover between sample runs. Data were analyzed using the Astra V software. Molecular weights were estimated using the Zimm fit method with degree 1. A value of 0.158 was used for protein refractive index increment (dn/dc).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
