In vitro nucleotide exchange assay was performed as described (Kang et al., 2014 (link)) with modifications. Briefly, purified GST-Rho4 was incubated with 50-fold molar excess of mant-GDP (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) in a nucleotide-loading buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, and 2 mM DTT) for 25 min at 25°C. After termination of nucleotide loading with 20 mM MgCl2, excess mant-GDP was removed by running through NAP™-5 gravity column (17-0853-01; GE Healthcare), and mant-GDP–loaded GST-Rho4 was switched into the GEF assay buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 1% glycerol, and 1 mM DTT). A GEF assay was performed by mixing 40 μl of ∼2 μM mant-GDP-loaded Rho4 with 5 μl of GEF assay buffer containing 3FLAG-Gef3 (with different concentrations) or 3FLAG in the presence of 400 μM GDP. Fluorescence intensity was monitored at ∼20°C every 10 s using the Infinite M1000Pro plate reader (Tecan Group, Männedorf, Switzerland), with excitation at 360 nm and emission at 440 nm. Data were fitted with a monophasic exponential curves using y = m1m2 exp(−m3x), where m3 is the fluorescence decrease rate plotted in Figure 5, D and E (KaleidaGraph; Synergy Software, PA).

Nucleotide Loading and GEF Assay for Rab34

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rab34 proteins were dialysed overnight into loading buffer consisting of 25 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl and 5 mM EDTA. Nucleotide was loaded (mant‐GDP (Thermoscientific), GDP or GTPυS) by addition of a 25‐fold molar excess of the nucleotide for 2 h at room temperature followed by addition of 10 mM MgCl2. Non‐bound mant‐GDP was removed using a PD‐10 buffer exchange column (GE Life Sciences) equilibrated in exchange buffer HEPES pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM MgCl2. For GEF assays, 300 nM Rab34 (in a volume of 100 μl) loaded with mant‐GDP was incubated with various combinations and concentrations of His‐FLCN‐DENN and GST‐RILP. Reactions were performed in black non‐binding coated 96‐well plates (Greiner), and mant‐GDP fluorescence was monitored using 355 nm excitation and 460 nm emission ± 10 nM band pass filters on a BMG Polarstar Omega plate reader. GTP was added at a concentration of 0.3 mM or EDTA at a concentration of 10 mM at the 2‐min time point. Data were acquired at 10‐s intervals for 25 min. Curves are mean of duplicate samples and are smoothed using a 6‐point rolling average and polynomial fitting to reduce small fluctuations in signal due to instrument noise.

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.
