Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pure protein (5 µg) in 120 µl of 100 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 1 mM β-mercaptoethanol was digested with subtilisin Carlsberg (Sigma-Aldrich) at 30°C (1∶100 w/w protein:protease). Aliquots of 20 µl were removed at 0, 15, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min, the protease inactivated with 1 µl each of 1 M phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) and benzamidine, and analyzed in 15% SDS-PAGE gels with Coomassie Blue staining. A 60-min digest of an identical 40 µl sample was divided into two, and subjected to SDS-PAGE; with one sample, subtilisin-resistant bands identified by Coomasie Blue staining were excised from the gel and analyzed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The other sample was electrotransferred to Immobilon PSQ membrane (Millipore, MA), and the bands excised after staining with Coomasie Blue were subject to N-terminal sequencing.

Assaying Protease Activity of Hip1 Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hip1wt, Hip1SeMet, Hip1S228A, or Hip1T466A proteins (2 μg in 25 μL) were incubated for 30 min at 37 °C before the addition of the substrate. BSA (Thermo Scientific) and the protease Subtilisin Carlsberg (Sigma-Aldrich) were used as negative and positive controls, respectively, and treated the same as the Hip1 proteins. Azocasein (Sigma-Aldrich) was reconstituted in 1× phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4 (Boston BioProducts), to produce a 5% solution and then passed through a 0.22 μm filter. Addition of the Hip1 proteins, BSA, or the protease Subtilisin Carlsberg resulted in a final concentration of 4% Azocasein in 200 μL of total volume. After incubation for 1 h at 37 °C, the reactions were terminated by the addition of 200 μL of 10% trichloroacetic acid and incubated on ice for 30 min. The reactions were then centrifuged at 13,200 rpm for 10 min at 4 °C. The supernatant (200 μL) was transferred to a 96 well plate to which was added 50 μL of 1.8 N NaOH, and the absorbance was read at 440 nm. The enzyme activities are expressed as units of enzyme/mg protein (one enzyme unit is the quantity of enzyme required to increase the absorbance by 0.01 at 440 nm). The assay was performed in triplicate and graphed using GraphPad Prism 7.0a.

Kinetic Analysis of Subtilisin Enzyme Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The activity of the subtilisin enzyme was tested in a solution-phase with a peptide (N-succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-p-nitroanilide) that, upon proteolysis, releases 4-nitroanaline, which absorbs light at wavelength of 410 nm. Initial substrate concentration was 0.8 mM with an enzyme concentration of 0.12 mg/L. The reaction was conducted at 37°C and a consistent pH of 7.8. pH was maintained by using a 50 mM Phosphate buffer. Activity was characterized with calculated values of KM and Vmax. Wavelength readings were obtained using the UV-6300PC Double Beam Spectrophotometer. Subtilisin Carlsberg was purchased from Sigma Aldrich (P5380) and N-Succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe p-nitroanilide was purchased from Sigma Aldrich (S7388). 4-nitroanaline (to make standard curve for concentration analysis to test enzyme activity) was purchased from Millipore Sigma (185310).

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.
