Gαi3 GTPase Regulation by RGS10

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Recombinant RGS10 proteins were incubated with recombinant purified Gαi3 (200 ng, EMD Biosciences) in HKB buffer (76 (link)) containing 10 μM GDP, or GDP plus 30 μM AlCl3, and 10 mM NaF, together with Ni2+ beads (20 μl of a 50% slurry) for 1 hour at 4°C. Beads were pelleted by centrifugation and washed four times with HKB. Bound proteins were eluted with SDS sample buffer and boiling, followed by resolution on SDS NuPAGE gels and transfer to nitrocellulose. Blots were probed with Gαi3 and RGS10. GAP assays were carried out essentially as described (76 (link)). His6-Gαo1, His6-Gαi1, His6-Gαi2 or His6-Gαi3 (1μM) was mixed with RGS10L, its mutants or equivalent amounts of control protein (mannose binding protein, MBP) (1 or 10 μM) in HKB buffer plus 5 mM MgCl2. BODIPY-FL-GTP (ThermoFisher) was added to the mixture after 10 min preincubation to a final concentration of 1 μM. The kinetics of in vitro G-protein binding to GTP were measured using the VICTOR3 multiwell reader (PerkinElmer).

BODIPYFL GTP (ThermoFisher Scientific, Invitrogen; G12411) (50 nM) was equilibrated in hydrolysis buffer (20 mM Tris pH 8, 10 mM MgCl2) in a 1 mL cuvette. Purified Gα–GDP protein (3 μM) was added to initiate BODIPY-GTP binding and subsequent hydrolysis. A PerkinElmer LS55 luminescence spectrometer (498 nm excitation, 508 nm emission) was used to measure fluorescence using the FLWinLab software package (PerkinElmer).

Nucleotide Affinity Assay with BODIPY-FL

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To assay nucleotide affinity, fluorescence intensity of 100 nM of BODIPY-FL-GDP or BODIPY-FL-GTP (Thermo Fisher Scientific) in 180 μl of assay buffer (30 mM HEPES, 100 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2, pH 7.4) was measured using a Fluoromax-4 spectrophotometer (Horiba) (490 nm excitation, 509 nm emission). Yeast Met–tRNAi was assayed in a similar manner using 20 nM BOP-N-Met–tRNAi (tRNA probes) but with the addition of 1 mM GTP. Change in fluorescence intensity was measured upon addition of increasing amounts of apo–eIF2, incubating for 5 min at room temperature each time. Each measurement was blanked against a control without nucleotide to account for any affect of eIF2 and data were corrected for dilution effects caused by volume addition and normalized to starting values before being fitted to a single site binding model: y = 1 + [(ΔFmax - 1)*(x/(x + Kd))].

Kinetic Analysis of G Protein Binding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Recombinant human Gαo and Gαi1, wild-type or [Q52P] and [Q52R] mutants were brought into the 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5) containing 150 mM NaCl by a 10,000-fold buffer exchange on Amicon 10K ultracentrifugation concentrators (Merck, Kenilworth, NJ USA). For measurement, 2 µM of indicated protein was incubated for 30 min in the black 384-well plate (Greiner, Kremsmünster, Austria) and then mixed with an identical volume of 2 µM BODIPY-FL-GTP or 2 µM BODIPY-FL-GTPγS (both from Thermo Fisher Scientific) in the buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 0.2% BSA and 10mM MgCl2 using the plate reader injector directly before measurement. The kinetics of in vitro G protein binding and/or hydrolysis was measured in the Infinite M200 Pro multiwell reader (Tecan, Männedorf, Switzerland) [28 (link),29 (link)].

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.
