Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 N-protein with His-tag, obtained as described previously [27 (link)] (purity: ≥90%), was a kind gift of the group of Prof. V. N. Lazarev. The protein was labeled with a far-red-emitting RED dye using the RED-NHS 2nd Generation Protein Labeling Kit (Nanotemper, Munich, Germany). The stem-loop fragment of SARS-CoV-2 gRNA (SL5 in [43 (link)]) was obtained by in vitro transcription from the T7-promoter-containing dsDNA template according to the published procedure [27 (link)].
The labeled N-protein (3 µM final concentration) was mixed with RNA (6 µM final concentration) in the RNAse-free 20 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 6) supplemented with 150 mM NaCl. Compound 3a/3b/7a/9a was added to a final concentration of 20 µM. The mixture was incubated at 37 °C for 2 h. Then, 3 μL of the mixture was placed between glass slides and analyzed using a Nikon Eclipse Ti2 microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) in the red channel. All experiments were performed in 6 repeats. Droplets were counted in ImageJ software, version 1.53a, and the partitioning coefficient (PC = [N-protein]droplet/[N-protein]solution) was calculated based on the average fluorescence intensity values in droplets and bulk solution.

Purified SR-B1 or CD36 protein was labeled using the RED-NHS 2nd Generation Protein Labeling Kit (NanoTemper Technologies) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Samples were prepared in exchange buffer and loaded into standard capillaries. Measurements were performed on the Monolith NT.115 BLUE/RED (NanoTemper Technologies) at 25 °C using 40% MST power and laser on/off times of 0 s and 21 s, respectively. Labeled receptor (SR-B1 or CD36) was diluted in exchange buffer to a concentration of 20 nM. For each ligand, 10 μl of starting concentration ligand was diluted 1:1 in 10 μl of exchange buffer to make a 16-sample dilution series. Ten microliters of receptor at constant concentration (20 nM) was incubated with 10 μl of ligand at each dilution in the series, briefly centrifuged, and loaded into Monolith NT.115 capillaries. Each sample was checked for sample aggregation and capillary adsorption and points with either were removed. All measurements were performed with protein from two separate protein purifications. The MST technique is described in further detail (27 ). Apparent Kd values were calculated by nonlinear regression analysis, assuming one-site specific binding, of the normalized thermophoresis (∂Fnorm), using GraphPad Prism (https://www.graphpad.com/).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Recombinant human CALR del52 was labeled with NHS- chemistry according to the manufacture’s instruction (Protein Labeling Kit RED-NHS 2nd Generation, NanoTemper Technology), referred as the “target protein”. Briefly, the target protein (at 10 μM) was incubated with the dye solution in the labeling buffer (130 mM NaHCO3, 50 mM NaCl, pH 8.2–8.3) for 1 h on ice. The dye carries a reactive NHS-ester group that reacts with primary amines (lysine residues) to form covalent bonds. The surplus of the dye not bound to the target protein was removed through passage on a resin column prior to elution of the target in the equilibration buffer (Tris-HCL 1 M, pH 7.6). For MST measurement, the CALR del52-NHS was used at 20 nM final concentration in MST buffer (Tris based supplemented with 0.01% of tween 20).
TpoR D1–D4 (the “ligand”) remained label free. Serial dilutions (0.15 nM to 5 μM) of the ligand (TpoR D1-D4) were performed to titer the target protein (CALR del52). The measurements were performed on a NanoTemper monolith NT.115 instrument (NanoTemper technologies, Germany) at 40% LED and medium MST-power with a standard 5 s. before, MST-on for 30 s. and 5 s. after MST-off.

The concentration of the purified SARS-CoV-2 Mpro protein was measured using the NanoDrop Spectrophotometer and BCA assay (Pierce™ BCA Protein Assay Kit, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA) based on the beforehand prepared calibration curve on the bovine serum albumin. In the next step, a part of the Mpro protein was labeled using the Protein Labeling Kit RED-NHS 2nd Generation (NanoTemper Technologies, Munich, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The concentration of the protein in the labeling mixture was adjusted to 10 μM and the molar dye:protein ratio was 3:1. The labeling reaction was performed in the labeling buffer NHS (130 mM NaHCO3, 50 mM NaCl, pH 8.2–8.3) at room temperature for 30 min in the dark. The unbound dye was removed using a dye removal column equilibrated with HEPES buffer. The degree of labeling (DOL parameter) was determined using UV/VIS spectrophotometry at 650 and 205 nm. The achieved DOL value was around 1.0. After the labeling, the labeled protein solution was supplemented with Pluronic F-127 with the final concentration of 0.01% (w/v).

All microscale thermophoresis measurements (MST) were performed on a NanoTemper Monolith NT.115 instrument (NanoTemper Technologies, Munich, Germany). using the Standard Treated Capillaries K002 of the supplier. Each of the 16 solutions of one titration series was filled into a capillary, which were measured successively to create the respective data points in the experiment. General settings were applied for all MST experiments as follows: manual temperature control: 22°C, LED laser: RED. MST power is set at medium and excitation power is set at 20%. For MST assay, all the proteins were exchanged into the MST buffer (20 mM HEPES pH7.5, 500 mM NaCl, 5% glycerol). The TPR-CHAT and its mutants were fluorescence-labeled using the Protein Labeling Kit RED-NHS 2nd Generation (NanoTemper Technologies) at 10 μM. 50 nM fluorescence-labeled TPR-CHAT and its mutants were added in a 1:1 ratio to a 1:2 dilution series with a final concentration of 2 μM down to 0.122 nM for gRAMP-crRNA complex. Each experiment was conducted at least 3 times and the similar result was obtained each time. Each protein K D value was obtained with a signal-to-noise ratio higher than 10. Datasets were processed with the MO (Monolith). Affinity Analysis v2.3 software. The analysis of dose-response curves was carried out with OriginPro 2018.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For MST screening, we used Monolith NT.115 instrument from Nanotemper to assess the compounds/RORγt interaction. We procured recombinant human RORγt from WuXi and labeled it with Protein Labeling Kit RED-NHS 2nd Generation from Nanotemper (Cat #MO-L011). RORγt was produced by recombinant microbial expression from E. coli cells (BL21-CodonPlus (DE3)-RIL Competent Cells, Cat #230245 from AGILENT). We dissolved RORγt in PBS buffer (pH 7.4) with 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 0.05% Tween 20. We kept the concentration of the fluorescently labeled RORγt constant at 25 nM. We added a volume of 5 μL of the corresponding samples in MST capillaries with a final DMSO concentration of 2%. Subsequently, we incubated the samples within the capillaries for 20 min at room temperature prior to the measurements. We detected changes in thermophoretic properties as a change in fluorescence intensity upon incubation of various concentrations of the tested compounds with fluorescently labeled RORγt. We plotted the thermophoresis signal against the compound concentration to obtain a dose–response curves, from which KD values can be deduced. MST data are represented as normalized change in fluorescence (Fnorm) upon ligand binding. Fnorm is the ratio of the fluorescence measured before and during thermophoresis.
