Co-immunoprecipitation experiments using AtTCTP-GFP or AtCSN4-GFP as bait were performed using the μMACS GFP Isolation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec). Three biological replicates were performed for each sample. Wild-type Col-0 and 35S::GFP plants were used as controls. Tissues of 10 days-old seedlings, mature seeds harvested from green siliques or inflorescences were ground to a fine powder in liquid nitrogen using mortar and pestle. The tissue powder (200 mg) was resuspended with 1ml pre-cooled (4°C) Miltenyi lysis buffer complemented with one tablet of cOmplete Mini EDTA-free Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Roche) for 5 ml of lysis buffer. Cellular extracts were incubated on ice 10 min and then centrifuged 10 min at 21 000g (4°C). The supernatants were incubated with 50μl anti-GFP antibody coupled to magnetic μMACS microbeads for specific isolation of GFP-tagged protein during 1 hour at 4°C on orbital shaker. Microbeads were bound to magnetic columns and washed as described by the manufacturer, before elution of GFP-tagged proteins and bound proteins. Eluted proteins were analyzed by Western blot. For the immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry (IP/MS) we visualized proteins by silver staining of the SDS-PAGE gel (ProteoSilver Plus Silver Stain Kit, SIGMA).

Protein quantification was performed using the Bradford assay according to the supplier's instructions (Bio‐Rad).
Eluates from immunoprecipitation or columns were denatured with Laemmli denaturing buffer and separated by SDS/PAGE using pre‐cast gradient gels with MOPS/SDS running buffer (NuPAGE® Novex®4–12% Bis‐Tris polyacrylamide gel, Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific). Proteins were either stained on gel using ProteoSilver Plus silver stain Kit (Sigma‐Aldrich), or electrotransferred onto a poly(vinylidene difluoride) membrane (Immobilon‐P; EMD Millipore) and immunodetected by colorimetry (alkaline phosphatase conjugated goat secondary antibodies from Promega, and NBT‐BCIP from Amresco as substrate). For identification by mass spectrometry (MS), proteins were separated by SDS/PAGE (NuPAGE® Novex®4–12% Bis/Tris polyacrylamide gel) in a MES/SDS running buffer (Invitrogen), and stained with Colloidal Blue Staining Kit (Invitrogen).

Quantitative Analysis of Griffithsin Purity

Gel loading samples were prepared in a similar manner as mentioned in the Western blotting procedure. For silver staining, the samples were analyzed using a ProteoSilver plus silver stain kit (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MI, USA) and gel preparation were carried out according to kit protocol. For Coomassie stain, the gel was wash three times with deionized water, 5 min each, then immersed in Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 stain for 1h with gentle shaking. The gel was then destained using a buffer consisting of 50% deionized water, 40% methanol, and 10% acetic acid for a minimum of 2 h, until the background became clear. The percent purity was calculated based on ImageJ densitometry, by taking the ratio of the lowest detectable GRFT band (peak area) versus the total peak area, where total peak area is equal to the lowest detectable GRFT band plus the peak area of impurities found in an overloaded gel lane. A standard curve ranging from 125 – 1000ng was generated using GRFT standard (1mg/mL) for qualitative and quantitative analysis of GRFT samples. The resulting bands from the standard curve were quantified using ImageJ densitometry and used to calculate the concentration of the unknown samples.

Protein bands were stained using the ProteoSilver Plus Silver Stain Kit (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) according to the manufacturer’s protocol and excised from the polyacrylamide gel. After washing, the gels were digested by incubation in buffer with trypsin [32] (link). The tryptic digests were analyzed by an LC-MS/MS system as described previously [33] (link). Database search was performed using MASCOT software (version 2.2.1., Matrix Science Ltd., London) and the NCBI Refseq sequence database under the parameters as described previously [34] (link).

The purified virus samples were lysed in loading buffer and resolved by electrophoresis in a 12% SDS-PAGE. After electrophoresis, the gel was fixed with 100 ml of the fixing solution (adding 50 ml of ethanol and 10 ml of acetic acid to 40 ml of ultrapure water) in a clean tray for 20 minutes or longer time. Then the gel was washed by 30% ethanol solution and ultrapure water in sequence. After that, the gel was stained with the ProteoSilver Plus Silver Stain Kit (Sigma) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The scFv clones were transformed in TOP10 E. coli non-suppressor strain and then used to inoculate SB medium containing 50 μg ml−1 of carbenicillin and 2% glucose. The culture was grown under agitation (250 r.p.m.) overnight at 37 °C and 2 ml were diluted in 200 ml of supplemented SB medium. The culture was incubated under agitation for 6–8 h at 37 °C (OD600=1.0), and centrifuged at 3000 g for 10 min at 4 °C. Bacteria were resuspended in 200 ml supplemented carbenicillin SB medium and induced by 2 mM IPTG at 30 °C overnight. Supernatant containing antibody was obtained after centrifugation at 5000 g, 4 °C, 15 min, after that, His-tagged scFv fragments were purified by immobilized-metal (Ni) affinity chromatography (HisTrap HP, GE Healthcare) by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC, Amersham Biosciences, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. All eluted fractions were identified for the presence of antibody fragments by dot-blot immunoassay, positive fractions were pooled, desalted by a Centriprep column (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), lyophilised, resuspended in PBS and then measured at 280 nm for protein.

Haptoglobin was purified from a 20-μL aliquot of serum for each patient by using an HPLC-based antibody-immobilized column developed in-house as previously reported [38 (link)]. Briefly, the mouse anti-human haptoglobin antibody was covalently immobilized on the UltraLink hydrazide resin (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL) and then packed into a PEEK column (4.6 mm × 50 mm). The immunoaffinity purification of haptoglobin was performed on a Beckman Coulter ProteomeLab PPS system (Fullerton, CA) based on the HPLC platform developed previously [38 (link)]. The bound haptoglobin fraction was eluted with stripping buffer (0.1 M Glycine, pH 2.5) and then immediately neutralized with 0.1 M Tris-HCl (pH 8.0). Subsequently, the enriched haptoglobin was desalted using a YM-3 centrifugal filter device (Millipore, Billerica, MA) by buffer exchange with water for three times and then dried down in a SpeedVac concentrator (Thermo). Before glycan release, the purity of the eluted haptoglobin was confirmed by 1D SDS-PAGE followed by silver staining using ProteoSilver™ Plus Silver Stain Kit (Sigma).

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.
