Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
P. furiosus PF0014 expressed with an N-terminal hexahistidine tag was purified using a Ni2+-immobilized affinity column (Chelating Sepharose, GE Healthcare) from E. coli soluble lysate and then directly subjected to complex formation with PbaA. To prepare deuterated proteins, bacterial cells were grown in an M9 minimal medium containing glucose as a mixture with 25% of isotopically natural form and 75% of fully deuterated from (1,2,3,4,5,6,6-D7, 98%, Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc.), along with 25% H2O and 75% D2O, as previously described23 (link). To determine PF0014 positions in the complex, Trx-PF0014 was used. Trx-PF0014 with an N-terminal hexahistidine tag was purified using a Ni2+-immobilized affinity column (Chelating Sepharose, GE Healthcare). After cleavage of the hexahistidine tag by thrombin protease, Trx-PF0014 was purified using a HiTrapQ HP anion exchange column (GE Healthcare) and HiLoad Superdex 200 column (GE Healthcare) in 20 mM Tris–HCl (pH 8.0) containing 200 mM NaCl and 2 mM dithiothreitol (DTT).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The High Five cell culture medium containing secreted GluN1b-GluN2A ATD fusion proteins was collected, concentrated, and dialyzed against 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) and 200 mM NaCl using tangential flow filtration. The concentrated sample supplemented with 5 mM imidazole was load onto a Chelating Sepharose (GE Healthcare) conjugated with cobalt (Co-NTA), washed with 20 Column Volumes (CV) of 40 mM imidazole, 10 CV of 80 mM imidazole and eluted with 10 CV of 300 mM imidazole. The octa-histidine tags and 57-link were removed by thrombin digestion at 18°C for 20 h. The proteins were concurrently de-glycosylated by endoglycosidase, EndoF1, at a 1:1 (w:w) ratio of GluN1b-GluN2A ATD and EndoF1 in 20 mM Tris-HCl and 200 mM NaCl at pH 8. The digested samples were recharged onto the Cobalt-NTA at 20 mM imidazole and the flow-though was collected. At this step Fab29 is added to the protein at a 1:2.25 molar ratio (GluN1b-GluN2A ATD:Fab). The mixture was subjected to a size-exclusion chromatography (Superdex200) in the presence of 10 μM ZnCl2 and the peak fraction containing the GluN1b-GluN2A ATD-Fab complex was collected. Expression and purification of GluN1b-GluN2B ATD was done as described previously described (Karakas et al., 2011 (link)) with the exception that there was no addition of ifenprodil or any other ligands during the purification process.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The 3xFLAG-tagged α4, GST-fused proteasome α5-subunit (GST-α5), non-tagged or His6-tagged forms of proteasome α1, α2, α3, α6, and α7 subunits, and scPAC3/4 were used in the pull-down assays. For immobilization, 20 μg of His6-tagged scPAC3/4 or GST-α5 was applied to Ni2+-charged Chelating Sepharose or Glutathione Sepharose 4B (GE Healthcare) resins, respectively. The His6-scPAC3/4-immobilized resins were incubated with 50 μg of α1–α7 subunits for 2 h at 4 °C in an incubation buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) and 150 mM NaCl). For α5, the GST-α5-immobilized resins were incubated with 50 μg of α1–α4, α6, and α7 in the presence and absence of 50 μg of scPAC3/4 as described above. Since α7 makes a stable complex with α6 [19 (link),20 (link)], the pull-down experiments containing α7 were performed separately. The resins were washed four times with the incubation buffer, which contains 60 mM imidazole in the His6-tag pull-down assays. Proteins bound to the Chelating or Glutathione Sepharose resins were eluted using 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0)/500 mM imidazole or 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0)/10 mM reduced glutathione, respectively, and analyzed by SDS-PAGE, stained with CBB.

Nucleic acid sequences coding for LAMP1 extracellular domains fused to his-tag or Halotag-histag at the C-terminal or coding for the antibody heavy or light chains were cloned into mammalian expression plasmids under the CMV enhancer/promoter and the SV40 polyA signal. Resulting plasmids were transfected into HEK293 cells (Thermo Fisher Scientific; K9000-10) using FreeStyle MAX 293 Expression System according to the manufacturer’s instructions. LAMP1 proteins were purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (Chelating Sepharose, 17-0575-01 GE Healthcare) and stored in PBS after concentration and buffer exchange (Sephadex G-25 column, GE Healthcare).
For initial characterization, mAbs were produced at 30 mL scale, purified by protein A affinity chromatography and stored in PBS after desalting on mini trap Sephadex G-25 column. For the developability study, mAbs were produced at 1 L scale and purified by a two-step process including protein A affinity chromatography (HiScreen MabSelect Sure protein A, GE Healthcare, 28-9269-77) and size-exclusion chromatography (HiLoad 26/600 superdex 200 pg, GE Healthcare, 28-9893-36).

Genes encoding the different fusion proteins were codon optimized for expression in Escherichia coli (E. coli), synthetized, and cloned into the pET-15b vector by Genewiz (NJ, US). We fused the NADH oxidase from Thermus thermophilus (NOX) with the LCD of Dbp1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (from residue 1 to 155), Laf1 from Caenorhabditis elegans (from residue 1 to 168), and Ddx4 from human (from residue 1 to 236). E. coli BL21-GOLD (DE3) competent cells were transformed with the corresponding plasmids encoding NOX, Ddx4-NOX, Dbp1-NOX, and Laf1-NOX, and grown aerobically in Luria-Bertani broth (LB) medium supplemented with 100 µg/mL ampicillin. Protein expression was induced at OD600 of 0.6 with 0.5 mM isopropyl d-thiogalactopyranoside (99%, PanReac AppliChem) for 16 h at 20 oC.
NOX enzyme was purified using a heat shock method37 (link). Dbp1-NOX, Laf1-NOX, and Ddx4-NOX proteins were purified by a combination of heat shock and immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (Chelating Sepharose, GE Healthcare) according to a standard protocol29 (link),30 (link). The final purity was confirmed by SDS-PAGE, and protein concentration was determined by measuring absorbance at 280 nm.

The scFv-AP fusion protein, described above, is a dimer as AP is a homodimer. To produce monomeric scFv for crystallization experiments, the D2 scFv was cloned into the pEB04 vector with Sfi-digestion. This construct generates scFv with a C-terminal His-tag. The scFv-6xHis protein was expressed in E. coli (AD494) and purified on a Chelating Sepharose (GE Healthcare, Ridgewood, NJ) column according to manufacturer’s instructions.

The E5 recombinant protein was purified from heat-treated extracts first by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) using chelating Sepharose (GE Healthcare) charged with nickel (NiSO4, 200 mM). Unbound proteins were washed away with PBS and bound proteins were eluted in a two-step gradient using PBS containing 10 and 250 mM imidazole, respectively. IMAC elution fractions containing the target protein E5 were desalted against 20 mM Tris (pH 7.5) and E5 was further purified by ion exchange chromatography (IEX) using a prepacked HiTrap Q FF column. The E5 protein was eluted using a three-step gradient (20 mM Tris pH 7.5 with 240, 500 and 1000 mM NaCl, respectively). The buffer was exchanged against PBS overnight at 4°C using a Spectra/Por membrane (MWCO 6000–8000 g/mol; SpectrumLabs). The samples were then concentrated using Vivaspin centrifugal concentrators (Sartorius-Stedim Biotech GmbH) and passed through a 0.22-μm sterile filter. The protein concentration was determined by UV spectroscopy at 280 nm and the recombinant protein was stored at 4°C.

The fusion proteins were eluted with elution buffer (20 mM sodium phosphate, 500 mM sodium chloride and 500 mM imidazole, pH 7.4). The high-concentration imidazole was removed using a Sephadex G25 column. The peak fraction was collected and concentrated by ultrafiltration. Protein concentrations were measured by the dye-binding method of Bradford using a commercial kit (BestBio, China).

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.
