The concentrated
sample was redissolved in water. The resuspension was precipitated
with a methanol/chloroform extraction. The precipitate was resuspended
in 31 μL of a solution of 8 M urea, 0.4 M Tris-HCl, and 20 mM
calcium chloride; 3 μL of 45 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) was added
to the solution, and the sample was incubated at 60 °C for 10
min. The reaction was placed on ice for 30 s and then incubated at
room temperature for 3 min; 3 μL of 100 mM iodoacetamide was
added, and the reaction was incubated at room temperature in the dark
for 30 min. The reaction was quenched with 0.67 μL of DTT; 16
μL of 1 M Tris-HCl pH 8.0 was added. Trypsin (Promega) was added
at a ratio of 1:50 Trypsin/protein. Water was added to bring the urea
concentration to 1 M. The digest was incubated at 37 °C overnight.
The following day, the reaction was brought to 1% trifluoroacetic
acid (TFA). The peptides were desalted using Nest Group MicroSpin
columns (C18, 300 Å) and eluted in 80% acetonitrile/0.1% TFA.
The elution was concentrated on a Savant SPD1010 SpeedVac concentrator

Peptides were fractionated
prior to LC–MS/MS via electrostatic repulsion–hydrophilic
interaction chromatography (ERLIC).22 (link) Desalted
samples were redissolved in 50 μL of 85% acetonitrile/0.1% formic
acid and loaded on a polyWAX LP column (150 × 1.0 mm; 5 μm
300 Å; PolyLC) attached to an Agilent 1100 HPLC at a 0.05 mL/min
flow rate. The samples were separated over an 80 min gradient as follows
(solvent A: 80% acetonitrile, 0.1% formic acid; solvent B: 30% acetonitrile,
0.1% formic acid). Isocratic flow was maintained at 100% A at a flow
rate of 0.3 mL/min for 5 min, followed by a 17 min linear gradient
to 8% B and a 25 min linear gradient to 45% B. Finally, a 10 min gradient
to 100% B was followed by a 5 min hold at 100% B before a 10 min linear
gradient back to 100% A, followed by an 8 min hold at 100% A. Fractions
were collected every several minutes, resulting in 15–17 samples
for further LC–MS/MS analysis. Each fraction was vacuum-dried
using a Savant SPD1010 SpeedVac concentrator (Thermo Scientific).

Copper Accumulation Assay in Bacterial Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine the copper accumulation in cells, all nine strains used in the in vivo complementation assays were grown in LB media as described above. When cells reached an OD600 = 0.8–0.9, cells were given 1 mM IPTG and 0.5 mM CuSO4, and growth was continued at 37°C. Cell aliquots were collected before induction as 0 hr samples, and then aliquots were collected at 3 and 6 hrs after addition of IPTG and CuSO4. All cultures were normalized to a final OD600 of 0.8 and centrifuged to obtain cell pellets. The cell pellets were washed three times with sterile 1X PBS containing 1 mM EDTA to remove excess extracellular copper. Washed pellets were dried at 75°C for 2 hr in Savant SPD1010 SpeedVac Concentrator (Thermo Scientific). To each pellet, 1 mL of 70% trace metals nitric acid was added and cells were mineralized at 80°C for 2 hr. Samples were then diluted to a final nitric acid concentration of 4% with nano-pure water. Samples were analyzed in a graphite furnace iCE3400 atomic absorption spectrometer (Thermo Scientific). A standard calibration curve was generated using 0 to 40 ppb Cu, with final R2 ≥ 0.99. The concentration of copper for each strain was determined as an average of four replicates. Statistical significance of the data was determined using t-test analysis.

All fractionation centrifugations were performed at 1100 g for 2 min at RT. The samples were resuspended in 150 µl of 1% (v/v) trifluoroacetic acid (TFA; Sigma-Aldrich)/H2O and 90% of the sample volume was transferred to a stage tip containing polystyrene-divinylbenzene copolymer modified with sulphonic acid (SDB-RPS, Supelco) and centrifuged at 3000 g for 3 min. Columns were desalted by washing with 0.2% TFA (60 µl) before elution into separate tubes, with the sequential addition of three buffers (Table S2). The samples were evaporated to dryness in a Savant SPD1010 SpeedVac Concentrator (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 45°C. Prior to separation and analysis by Q Exactive LC-MS, the dried fractionation samples were resuspended in 2% acetonitrile (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.5% TFA in H2O (LC-MS grade) by gentle agitation and sonication, to give a final concentration of ∼1 µg/µl. A stage tip filter was prepared containing three layers of PVDF Durapore filter (0.1 µm; Millipore). The samples (12 µl) were transferred to stage tips and centrifuged into LC-MS vials at 4000 g for 5 min at RT.

Purification of Crude Peptides using C-18 Columns

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sometimes the synthesis can yield products of up to 90% purity, but if it is necessary to have a product with higher purity, the crude peptides are fractionated using preparative Clean-Up® CEC18153 C-18 extraction columns (UCT, Bristol, PA, USA). Columns were washed twice with 2 mL of methanol and twice with 2 mL of milliQ water. 5–7 mg of the crude peptide was dissolved in milliQ water and loaded onto the column, then the flow-through was collected and reloaded thrice. Elution of the peptide was carried out by adding 0.9–1 mL of successive solutions of water/acetonitrile with concentrations between 0% and 60% (%v/v), collecting each eluent fraction. Finally, the column was washed twice with 1 mL of acetonitrile and twice with 1 mL of methanol, and the eluent was collected. Acetonitrile was evaporated using a Savant SPD 1010 SpeedVac Concentrator (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Asheville, NC, USA) and the aqueous remnant was frozen at −80 °C to be lyophilized. Fractions were evaluated by HPLC and ESI-MS, to determine the main fraction containing the expected peptide.

Eluted samples were evaporated in a SAVANT SPD1010 SpeedVac Concentrator (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA), and resuspended in 0.1% formic acid (v/v) to a concentration of 1 μg/μL for high-pH reversed-phase fractionation following a previous workflow15 (link), with minor adaptations: 30 μL sample were loaded to a ZORBAX Bonus-RP column (with 3.5 µm C18 resins, ID 2.1 mm, length 50 mm; Agilent Technologies, USA), and fractionated with an Agilent 1200 series HPLC System (Agilent Technologies, Germany). A 60 min gradient consisting of 5–35% buffer B (v/v) in 1–42 min, and 35–50% buffer B in 42–45 min at a flow rate of 100 μL/min was used for the fractionation. Here, 10 mM ammonium formate was used as buffer A, and 10 mM ammonium formate with 90% acetonitrile (v/v) was used as buffer B. Ammonium hydroxide was used to adjust the pH of both buffers A and B to 10. Sample fractions were continuously collected into 96 well plates by an Agilent 1100 Series Micro-FC G1364D micro fraction collector (Agilent Technologies, Germany). For each sample, 48 fractions were collected into different wells at 1 min intervals over the first 48 min. The samples were then pooled by combining four fractions at an interval of 12 wells, resulting in 12 fractionated samples per individual microbiome (Fig. 1a).
