Point mutations in COX2 (S565A) was generated using the In-Fusion Cloning Kits (Clontech) and human COX2 gene ORF cDNA clone expression plasmid (Catalog number: HG12036-NH, Sino Biological Inc), according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and the following primer and its reverse-complement for point mutation were used: Forward 5′-CTTTACTGCTTTCAGTGTTCCAGATCCAGAGC-3′; Reverse 5′- CTGAAAGCAGTAAAGGGACAGCCCTTCACG-3′. The COX2 WT plasmids and COX S565A plasmids were transformed in the One shot TOP 10 competent cell (Invitrogen). The bacteria were grown in Luria-Bertani (LB) plate supplemented with 50 μg/ml kanamycin at 37 °C. The bacterial cell pellets were resuspended in lysis buffer containing 50 mM Tris (PH 8.0), 500 mM NaCl (Sigma-Aldrich), complete EDTA-free protease inhibitor (Roche), DNase I (Roche) and 0.25 mM DTT before being lysed by sonication and clarified by centrifugation at 75,600 × g. Proteins were purified from the soluble fraction using nickel-NTA agarose (QIAGEN) and acetylation assay was performed.

Single point mutations in SphK1 (R56A, R57A, R24A, R185A, D178A, and F192A) and COX2 (S565A, N181A, T564A, and S567A) were generated using the In-Fusion Cloning Kits (Clontech) and ORF cDNA expression plasmids of human SphK1 and COX2 gene (Sino Biological Inc, HG15679-NH and HG12036-NH), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The forward and reverse primers described in Supplementary Table 4. The SphK1 WT, SphK1 mutants, COX2 WT, and COX2 mutant plasmids were transformed in the One shot TOP 10 competent cell (Invitrogen). The bacteria were grown in Luria-Bertani (LB, Invitrogen) plates supplemented with 50 μg ml−1 kanamycin (Sigma-Aldrich) at 37 °C. The bacterial cell pellets were resuspended in lysis buffer containing 20 mM sodium phosphate (GE Healthcare), 500 mM NaCl (GE Healthcare), 20 mM imidazole (pH 7.4) (GE Healthcare), 0.2 mg ml−1 lysozyme (Sigma-Aldrich), 20 μg ml−1 DNase I (Roche), 1 mM MgCl2 (Sigma-Aldrich), and 1 mM PMSF (Sigma-Aldrich) before being lysed by sonication and clarified by centrifugation at 15,493×g for 10 min. Proteins were purified from the soluble fraction using His-Spin Trap columns (GE Healthcare) and the binding and acetylation assays were performed.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The RT‐PCR amplification products were visualized on an agarose gel (1·5%) and fragments of 900 bp were extracted using a peqGOLD Gel Extraction Kit (Peqlab). Afterwards, the products were cloned using the TA Cloning Kit (Life Technologies, Darmstadt, Germany) and One Shot Top 10 Competent Cells (Life Technologies). After 12 hr of incubation on ampicillin‐containing agar, colonies were picked and expanded in overnight culture at 37° for plasmid isolation with the peqGOLD Mini Prep Kit (Peqlab). Sequencing reactions were performed with the BigDyeTM Terminator Cycle Sequencing Ready Reaction Kit (PE Applied Biosystems v1·1) according to the manufacturer's instructions in 96‐well PCR‐plates (Kisker, Steinfurt, Germany) in a C1000 Thermal Cycler (BioRad, Munich, Germany). To avoid sequencing errors each PCR fragment was sequenced in both directions.

Creation of espGΔARF and ΔPAK Plasmids

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To create espGΔARF- and ΔPAKplasmids for ΔespG1/G2 complementation, inserts were cloned using PCR primers 5′ ATA AAT GGA CTT AAT AAT GAC TCC GC (forward) and 5′ AGT GTT TTG TAA GTA CGT TTC (reverse). PCR products were double digested using EcoRI and BamHI (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA) as was the bacterial vector pTrcHis2 (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY). Digested inserts and vector were ligated using T4 DNA ligase (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA), transformed into OneShot TOP10 competent cells (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) and spread on LB-agar plus 100 μg/ml ampicillin. Single colonies were picked, grown overnight with shaking at 37°C in LB broth plus 100 μg/ml ampicillin and DNA was miniprepped. Correct insertion of espG and GTPase binding mutant sequences were verified using double digestion of plasmids. Plasmid stock was made using the Qiagen Plasmid-Midi prep kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA), eluted in DNA- and RNAase-free water and stored at −20°C.

Calreticulin Expression in Dendritic Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Spleens were harvested from either B6-WT or Ik−/− animals and incubated with collagenase D (1 mg/mL, Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN) in a 37°C/5% CO2 incubator for 45 min. Cells were mashed and purified with CD11c microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec) and auto MACS (Miltenyi Biotec). Calreticulin expression was detected by western blotting.
For overexpression transfection into DCs, we used the plasmid pMSV-mCRT (a gift from Dr. Malini Raghavan, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, the University of Michigan Medical School), which contains full-length mouse wild-type calreticulin cDNA. The pMSV-mCRT plasmid was transformed into Oneshot Top 10 competent cells (Life Technologies) and transfectants were selected by ampicillin. Positive strains were expanded and purified using an Endofree Plasmid Purification kit (Qiagen). Purified pMSV-mCRT plasmids and empty vector control were transfected into DCs from WT-B6 or Ik−/− animals in a 6-well plate (at 80% confluency) using X-treme GENE HP DNA Transfection Reagent (Roche) according to the manufacturer's instruction. After incubation at 37°C for 48 h, the transfected cells were collected for assays.

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.
