Prior to imaging, HEK293 MD2-CD14 TLR4 cells were seeded onto polyethylenimine (PEI)-coated glass bottom μ-dishes and left overnight to grow to confluence. 100 µM NTA-FITC (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) were incubated with 500 µM NiCl2 for 1 h at RT, and 10 µM dsPRDX5 was then added for 1 h. Unbound probe was then removed using a PD SpinTrap G-25 column (Cytiva), by following manufacturer’s instructions. Cells were imaged using a Zeiss 980 confocal laser scanning microscope (Zeiss GmbH, Oberkochen, Germany). This microscope is equipped with a 405 diode and Helium-Neon lasers, GaAsP detectors, and additional modifications to allow for long term live cell imaging. These modifications include a chamber that maintains cells at 37 °C, with 5% CO2 in air, and a relative humidity of >95%. Excitation and emission settings were determined using YFP positive cells, prior to the addition of PRDX5-NTA-FITC, to reduce crosstalk between the channels. Excitation for FITC and YFP were at 488 and 514 nm respectively, with the key collection bands being between 495–522 nm for FITC and 565–648 nm, with the channels being collected sequentially.

One hundred microliters of PARLSkd3 was centrifuged at 18,000g, 30 min at 4°C, exchanged to K100 buffer [50 mM tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 100 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2, and 1 mM DTT] containing 5 mM of the desired nucleotide over a PD SpinTrap G25 column (Cytiva), and diluted with the same buffer to submicromolar concentrations during measurements. Measurements were carried out on a Refeyen OneMP mass photometer (Refeyn Ltd.) with a 60-s acquisition time. Movies were analyzed using DiscoverMP (Refeyn Ltd.), and the contrast-to-mass conversion was achieved by calibration using the molecular weight standards bovine serum albumin (66 and 132 kDa), Sgt2 (80 kDa), thyroglobulin (330 kDa), and apoferritin (440 kDa). The events recorded from two to three independent measurements were pooled and fitted to Gaussian distributions to extract the mean molecular mass and relative amount of each peak.

Diamond shaped crystals appeared after 24 h and grew to final size after a week.

The insulin reduction assay was based on the protocol described in Ref. [27 (link)]. 50 μΜ Trx2 was pre-reduced with 5 mM DTT at 37 °C for 1 h. The DTT was removed using a PD SpinTrap G-25 column (Cytiva) equilibrated in 100 mM KPOi, pH 7.0, 2 mM EDTA. The protein concentration was determined spectrophotometrically. Trx2 was added to wells of a clear 96-well plate containing 130 μΜ recombinant human insulin (Ref 11376497001, Roche Diagnostics) in 100 mM KPOi, pH 7.0, 2 mM EDTA to a final concentration of 1 μΜ or 5 μΜ. An increase in turbidity was measured by following an increase in the absorbance at 650 nm using a SpectraMax spectrophotometer (Molecular Devices) at RT.

Cysteine Crosslinking Analysis of VirB

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Prior to the crosslinking reactions, VirB or its mutant variants were incubated with 5 mM Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP; Sigma, USA) for 1 h at room temperature to fully reduce all cysteine residues. Subsequently, the protein was transferred to reaction buffer (25 mM HEPES/NaOH pH 7.5, 500 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM EDTA) using PD SpinTrap G-25 columns (Cytiva, Germany). Crosslinking was performed at room temperature in mixtures containing 10 µM protein, which were supplemented with 1 mM CTP and/or 1 µM of a virS-containing double-stranded DNA oligonucleotide (virS-icsB-for/virS-icsB-rev) when appropriate. After the indicated incubation times, bismaleimidoethane (BMOE; dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide) was added to a concentration of 1 mM. After brief mixing and incubation for 1 min, the reaction was stopped by the addition of dithiothreitol-containing SDS sample buffer. As a negative control, samples were treated with dimethylsulfoxide instead of BMOE. The samples were then analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and protein was stained with InstantBlue Coomassie Protein Stain (Expedeon, Germany). The gels were imaged with a ChemiDoc MP imaging system (Bio-Rad Laboratories, USA), and the intensities of the different bands were quantified using Image Lab 5.0 software (Bio-Rad Laboratories, USA).

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.
