In Vitro Selection of IDE-Targeting Macrocyclic Inhibitors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The in vitro selection of the DNA-templated library8 (link) used 20 µg His6-tagged mouse IDE immobilized on cobalt magnetic beads (Invitrogen). IDE inhibition was assayed using the fluorogenic peptide Mca-RPPGFSAFK(Dnp)-OH (R&D), confirmed using an anti-insulin antibody time-resolved FRET assay (Cysbio), and a LCMS assay for CGRP cleavage fragments in plasma9 (link). Macrocyclic inhibitors were synthesized by Fmoc-based solid-phase synthesis and purified by HPLC. LCMS quantitation of 6bK in biological samples was performed using 6bK synthesized with 13C6,15N2 lysine (Sigma-Aldrich).
Wild-type lean and DIO C57BL/6J age-matched male mice (Jackson Laboratories) were used at 14–16, and 24–26 weeks respectively (> 20 weeks of high-fat diet). Gcgr−/− and Ide−/− mice were fully backcrossed to the C57BL/6J line, bred from heterozygous mice, and used between 11 and 21 weeks. Animals were fasted overnight 14 h for all experiments, except for the insulin tolerance test, which required 5 h of fasting during the morning. Blood glucose was measured from tail nicks using AccuCheck (Aviva) meters. Trunk blood was obtained for plasma hormone measurements using the Multiplexed Mouse Metabolic Hormone panel (Milliplex, EMD Millipore) on a Luminex FlexMap 3D instrument.

Rapeseed meals were prepared from 00-rapeseed (Brassica napus) at the pilot plant of CREOL/OLEAD (Pessac, France). Trypsin (type IX-S, 13,000–20,000 BAEE units/mg protein, EC 232-650-8), chymoTrypsin (type II, ≥40 units/mg protein, EC 232-671-2) and peptidase from porcine intestinal mucosa (50–100 units/g solid, EC 232-875-1) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). The furosine, lysinoalanine and Nε-carboxymethyl-lysine standards were obtained from PolyPeptide Laboratories (Strasbourg, France), whereas the rest of the standards (13C6,15N2-lysine, lysine, lanthionine) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany).

13C6-15N2-lysine (+8 Da) and 13C6-15-N4-arginine (+10 Da) were obtained from Sigma. His-tagged, wild-type KRAS4B and NRAS plasmids were kindly provided by Ignacio Rubio (Institute of Molecular Cell Biology, University of Jena). Wild-type, full-length human HRAS and KRAS4A sequences were sub-cloned into the pTrcHis A vector (Invitrogen) from plasmids described in [23 (link), 24 (link)] and sequence verified.

The Central Committee of Animal Experiments (The Netherlands) approved the use of experimental animals under the authorization number AVD260002015139. All animals were euthanized under sodium pentobarbital anesthesia, and all efforts were made to minimize animal suffering. The furosine, LAL and CML standards were obtained from Polypeptides (Strasbourg, France), whilst the rest of the standards (13C6,15N2-lysine, lysine, LAN) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany).

Heavy amino acids, 13C615N2-lysine and 13C615N4-arginine, were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Low-glucose Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM), phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), penicillin/streptomycin, and geneticin were purchased from Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) and dialyzed FBS were procured from Gemini Bio-Products, Calabasas, CA. SILAC DMEM (without L-lysine and L-arginine) was purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA. The ProteoExtract Native Membrane Protein Extraction Kit was purchased from Calbiochem (Temecula, CA). The protein quantification BCA kit and the in-solution digestion kit were from Pierce Biotechnology (Rockford, IL). Pure synthetic unlabeled peptides, NVTGFFQSFK, NVTGFFQSLK, VLAVTDSPAR, and NTTGALTTR, with purity determined by quantitative amino acid analysis, were obtained from New England Peptides (Boston, MA). The SIL internal standards, NVTGFFQSF[13C615N2]K, NVTGFFQSL[13C615N2]K, VLAVTDSPA[13C615N4]R, and NTTGALTT[13C615N4]R, were from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Rockford, IL). HPLC-grade acetonitrile and other solvents were purchased from Fischer Scientific (Fair Lawn, NJ) and formic acid was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO).

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.
