Purification and Characterization of Pn Protein

The pn CDS was cloned into the pETDuet-1vector and expressed in the Rosetta™ 2(DE3) Singles™ Competent Cells (Merck Millipore) induced with 1 mM IPTG (Merck Millipore) at 16°C overnight. The Ni-NTA Fast Start kit (Qiagen) was used to purify the N-terminal His-tagged Pn protein. After dialysis (10 mM Tris–HCl, pH 8.0), the protein aliquot was saved for future use. Pyrophosphate activity and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity were determined using a Pyrophosphate Assay Kit (Abcam) and a Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase Assay kit (Enzo Life Sciences). A total of 20 mM NaF was used as the pyrophosphate inhibitor, and 40 μM IBMX was used as the PDE inhibitor.

Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Experiments were conducted using 96-well plastic culture plates with cAMP or cGMP as a substrate, and PDE activity was measured using a cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase assay kit (Enzo Life Sciences, NY, USA). Substrates were added to the brain-derived PDE and 5′-nucleotidase, and the samples were incubated for 30 min at 30 °C separately as follows: a control group with no additive, an IBMX group (positive control for PDE inhibition), a 1 μMTH group, a 2 μMTH group, a 5 μMTH group, and a 10 μMTH group. Thereafter, BIOMOL GREEN was added, and the mixtures were stirred gently and incubated at room temperature for 20 min. Finally, the absorbance was measured at 620 nm using a microplate reader (Spectra Max Pro, Molecular Devices, Tokyo, Japan).

Caudal epididymal sperm cells (3 × 107/set suspended in 200 μl of HB buffer supplemented by 10 mM Benzamidine HCl, 0.1% 2-mercaptoethanol, 1 mM PMSF) from WT and GSK3-double hetero mice were isolated. Cells were placed in microfuge tubes in ice and sonicated (QSonica) for a total of 50 s with 10 s pulse at 40 amplitude. The sonicated cell suspensions were centrifuged at 150 00g for 15 min and supernatants were obtained. These extracts were analyzed for phosphodiesterase assay using Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase Assay Kit, Enzo Life Sciences (BML-AK800–0001). Free phosphate ions were removed from the extract using a desalting column (BML-KI100) provided by the kit. Extracts containing PDE, substrate and 5′-nucleotidase were dissolved in assay buffer (BML-KI181) in presence or absence of IBMX and RS25344. It was incubated at 30 °C for 30 min. A parallel set for standards were prepared using 5′AMP. After incubation, reactions were terminated by addition of BIOMOL® GREEN Reagent. Color was allowed to develop for 20–30 min and absorbance at 620 nm was measured on FilterMax F5 microtiter-plate reader (Molecular Devices).

To examine the inhibitory effect of LPE P-18:0 on cyclic nucleotide PDE, Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase Assay Kit (Enzo, cat#BML-AK800-0001) was applied following the protocol provided by the manufacturer. Briefly, the mixtures of cAMP substrate (200 nM), assay buffer, 5'-nucleotidase (1 kU/μL), and PDE3B (40 pg/reaction, BPS Bioscience, cat#60031) with LPE P-18:0 (10 μM) or IBMX (40 μM) were incubated in a microtiter plate for 0, 45, or 90 min at 30 °C. Incubation time was determined by a linearity test indicating the initial rate of the enzyme. Next, BIOMOL Green reagent was added and incubated for 30 min at 30 °C to terminate reactions. The plate was measured at 620 nm and the measure absorbance was converted to the nmol of 5'-AMP produced by using the equation for best-fit line obtained from the standard curve.

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.
