For assessing mutant EPRS association with MSC scaffold proteins, 1.5 × 106 of HEK293T shEPRS-inducible stable cells were seeded on 10 cm dishes and shRNA expression was induced with doxycycline the following day. Cells were transfected with 10 μg of pcDNA3 EPRS-FLAG (WT or mutant), using the PEI method (63 (link)) 24 h post doxycycline treatment. Cells were harvested 48 h post transfection and lysed in cell lysis buffer (Cell Signaling Technology) supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma-Aldrich).
For immunoprecipitation studies, 5 μg FLAG M2 mouse monoclonal antibody (Sigma-Aldrich F1804) or mouse IgG isotype control (Invitrogen 10400C) was conjugated to 25 μl Dynabeads protein G (Invitrogen) by incubating in 200 μl phosphate buffered saline with 0.01% Tween-20 (0.01% PBS-T) at room temperature for 10 min. Immunoprecipitation was performed by incubating 250 μl lysates (∼1200 μg protein) with antibody-conjugated beads overnight at 4 °C. Beads were washed three times with 0.02% PBS-T and boiled in SDS-PAGE loading buffer, followed by immunoblotting with the following antibodies: EPRS (Novus Biologicals NBP1-84929), AIMP2 (Thermo Scientific PA5-31306), AIMP3 (Invitrogen PA5-28283), and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) (Bio-Rad).

Immunoprecipitations from ∼2 × 106 220-8 cells were performed as described above in “Mass Spectrometry.” Samples were denatured and subjected to electrophoresis in 4%–12% NuPAGE Bis-Tris gels (Life Technologies) and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Life Technologies). Blots were then incubated with primary antibodies for 2 h at 25°C and HRP-conjugated secondary antibody for 1 h at 25°C. Blots were developed with ECL Western blotting substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and images were acquired using LAS-4000 (Fuji Film). Flag-BAP recombinant protein (Sigma) was diluted in PBS with 2% BSA to concentrations of 0.1–10 ng/µL for use as a standard and compared with lysate from the indicated number of 220-8 cells by Western blot using Flag M2 mouse monoclonal antibody (Sigma) at 1:2000 dilution. Blots were quantified with National Institutes of Health ImageJ (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij), and background was subtracted by rolling ball method with a radius of 150 pixels. When possible, signal from the protein band of interest were normalized to β-actin or tubulin that served as loading control.

ChIP Assay for Protein-DNA Interactions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments were performed as reported previously42 (link). Cells treated for 1 h in the high-light tolerance assay were harvested by centrifugation at 2000 × g at 4 °C for 2 min and resuspended in KH buffer (20 mM HEPES-KOH, pH7.6, and 80 mM KCl) containing 0.35% formaldehyde (Wako Chemical, Japan). After incubation for 10 min at room temperature, the cross-linking reaction was terminated with 1 M glycine for 5 min. The cross-linked cells were sonicated using the BIORUPTOR® II (Cosmo Bio, Japan) for 10 s (×30) with pauses of 20 s between each sonication cycle and then subjected to ChIP. The target DNA–protein complexes were immunoprecipitated using 100 μL of SURE-beads (Bio-Rad Laboratories) conjugated with 5 μg of FLAG (M2) mouse monoclonal antibody (Sigma-Aldrich) at 4 °C for 1 h. After an overnight cross-link reversion between DNA and protein at 65 °C, the DNA was extracted and purified using the phenol/chloroform/isoamylalcohol purification method. The purified DNA was then subjected to semiquantitative PCR using KOD FX Neo DNA polymerase (TOYOBO) on the SimpliAmp Thermal Cycler (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Real-time qPCR assays were performed using the KOD SYBR® qPCR Mix (TOYOBO) on the Light Cycler 96 system (Roche Diagnostics, Germany). The primers used for PCR analyses are listed in Supplementary Table 7.

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.
