Enzymatic Activity Characterization of C-P4H-II

Two assays were used to characterize the enzymatic properties of C-P4H-II and its truncated variants. First, the catalytic activity of the purified enzymes was measured by an indirect activity assay based on the hydroxylation-coupled decarboxylation of 2-oxo[1-14C]glutarate (PerkinElmer) (56 ). About 100 μM (PPG)10 peptide was used as a substrate. In addition, the activities were measured with a direct assay (56 ), based on measurement of the 4-hydroxy[14C]proline formation from [14C]proline-labeled procollagen substrate, consisting of nonhydroxylated α-chain of chicken type-I procollagen. The radioactivities were determined using a Tri-Carb 2900TR (PerkinElmer) liquid scintillation counter. The results were calculated as disintegrations per minute per enzyme active site, taking into account that the number of C-P4H active sites is two per mature C-P4H-II tetramer and one per heterodimer for the truncated variants.

Purification and Enzymatic Assay of PHD2

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Flag-tagged PHD2 was expressed in insect cells and affinity-purified using anti-Flag, and the His-tagged HIF-2α oxygen-dependent degradation domain (ODDD) protein was expressed in E. coli and affinity-purified using NiNTA as described previously. 36, 33 A PHD2 enzymatic activity assay was performed to measure the radioactive CO 2 produced during the decarboxylation of 2-oxo[1-14 C]glutarate (Perkin-Elmer), which co-occurs with the substrate proline hydroxylation. 37 cycloheximide chase assay HEK cells were transfected with plasmids encoding pcD-NA3-HA-PHD2 (100-800 ng) in addition to pCMV-HA-empty vector for a total amount of 800 ng of transfected DNA. Twenty-four hours after transfection, cells were treated with cycloheximide (Sigma-Aldrich) at a final concentration of 100 μg/mL. Cells were harvested at different timepoints. An equal volume of protein lysates was analyzed by western blot assay using a mouse anti-HA antibody, anti-actin (Sigma) and a goat anti-mouse secondary antibody (Jackson Immunoresearch).

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.
