E.coli DH10b (F–mcrA Δ(mrr-hsdRMS-mcrBC) ⌽80lacZΔM15 ΔlacX74 recA1 endA1 araD139 Δ(araleu) 7697 galU galK rpsL nupG λ–)41 (link) was used for genetic manipulation and characterization. Note that E. coli DH10b has the fimE/fimB and fim structural genes deleted41 (link). Cells were grown in LB miller broth (Difco, 90003-350) for functional assays and SOB (Teknova, S0210) (2% Bacto-tryptone, 0.5% Bacto yeast extract, 10 mMNaCl, 2.5 mMKCl) for cloning. Chloramphenicol (Alfa Aesar, AAB20841-14) (34 μg/ml), kanamycin (GoldBio, K-120-10) (50 μg/ml) or spectinomycin sulfate (50 μg/mL) (MP Biomedicals LLC, 158993) were supplemented where appropriate. Arabinose (Sigma Aldrich, MO, A3256), IPTG (Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside) (GoldBio, I2481C25) or anhydrotetracycline (aTc) (Sigma Aldrich, 37919) was used as inducers. For Arabinose induction system 0.5% (w/v) glucose was used to reduce the leakiness of the uninduced state. Three fluorescence proteins GFPmut342 (link), mRFP143 (link) and YFP42 (link) were used as reporters in this study.

All experiments were carried out in either polymix buffer A (50 mM Tris-OAc (pH 7.5), 100 mM KCl, 5 mM NH4OAc, 0.5 mM Ca(OAc)2, 5 mM Mg(OAc)2, 6 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 0.1 mM EDTA, 5 mM putrescine and 1 mM spermidine)45 (link) or polymix buffer B (30 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl2, 50 mM NH4Cl, 5 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 2 mM spermidine and 5 mM putrescine)46 (link). A cocktail of triplet-state quenchers (1 mM Trolox, 1 mM nitrobenzyl alcohol and 1 mM cyclooctatetraene) and an enzymatic oxygen scavenging system (protocatechuic acid (PCA)/protocatechuate-3,4-dioxygenase (PCD)) were used for smFRET experiments. Spectinomycin sulfate was purchased from MP Biomedicals. Fusidic acid sodium salt, GTP and GTPγS were from Sigma-Aldrich. GTP was further purified using a Mono Q 5/50 GL anion exchange column (GE Healthcare Life Sciences). Pyruvate kinase, myokinase and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. All other standard reagents were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich or VWR.

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.
