Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Aliquots of a mixture of 140 µM Pct1, 2 mM tripolyphosphate, 5 mM manganese chloride were mixed on a cover slip with an equal volume of precipitant solution containing 2.8 M sodium chloride, 10% (w/v) PEG6000. Crystals were grown at 18°C by hanging drop vapor diffusion against the precipitant solution, then flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen. Diffraction data from a single crystal to 2.6 Å resolution were collected on a Rigaku RAXIS-4 image plate detector with CuKα radiation from a Rigaku RU200 rotating anode generator. The data were indexed, integrated and scaled using HKL2000 (Otwinowski and Minor 1997 ). The crystal was in space group P21. Initial phases were obtained by molecular replacement in PHASER (McCoy et al. 2007 (link)) using the coordinates of the S. cerevisiae Cet1 homodimer (pdb 1D8I) as the search model. Iterative rounds of refinement and adjustment in CNS (Brunger et al. 1998 (link)), PHENIX (Adams et al. 2010 (link)), and COOT (Emsley and Cowtan 2004 (link)) yielded a 2.6 Å Pct1 model with R/Rfree of 0.199/0.245 and good geometry (97.9%, 99.9%, and 0.1% in favored, allowed, and disallowed regions of Ramachandran space, respectively) (Chen et al. 2010 (link)). The model contained four Pct1 protomers in the asymmetric unit organized as two homodimers (A/B and C/D). No electron density was observed for tripolyphosphate or manganese.

The initial crystallization screening was done with Hampton crystal screen HT using hanging-drop vapor diffusion method at 17 °C. The reservoir solution containing 0.2 M lithium sulfate, 0.1 M Tris HCl pH 8.5, and 30% PEG 4,000 mixed with the protein at ~10 mg/mL concentration (2 μL each) yielded crystals that were rhomboid-shaped (~80 μm each side) in 1-2 days. For data collection, the crystals were frozen in liquid N2. X-ray diffraction data were collected with R-AXIS IV++ image-plate detector using Rigaku RU-200 rotating anode generator. The diffraction images were indexed and scaled with XDS [19 (link)].
The FnLpxA structure was solved by the molecular replacement method in PHASER using E. coli LpxA (PDB id: 1LXA) as the search model. Regions outside the hexapeptide repeats were removed from the initial molecular replacement solution, and manually rebuilt using COOT [20 (link)]. The structure refinement was carried out with REFMAC5 [21 (link)] within the CCP4 software suite [22 (link)]. The final model was validated using MOLPROBITY [23 (link)]. Structural alignments and figures were prepared using PyMol [24 ], and the atomic coordinates and structure factor have been deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB id: 5F42). The crystallographic information is summarized in Table S2.

Phase compositions and crystal sizes of the nanocrystals were characterized by XRD (Rigaku RU-200). Surface charges of HAP and Mg-HAP nanocrystals in deionized water were determined by dynamic light scattering using a Zetasizer Nano Series. Surface morphologies of the nanoparticles were observed by TEM (JEOL JEM-2100) with SAED. Functional groups of HAP and Mg-HAP nanoparticles were analyzed by FTIR (Nicolet Nexus 670). Chemical compositions of the nanoparticles were quantified by EDS (QUANTAX 400-30).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The data were collected using a Bruker AXS Platinum 135 CCD detector controlled with the PROTEUM software suite (Bruker AXS Inc., Madison, WI). The X-ray source was CuK radiation (1.54178 Å) from a Rigaku RU200 X-ray generator equipped with Montel optics, operated at 50 kV and 90 mA. The X-ray data were processed with SAINT version 7.06A (Bruker AXS Inc.) and internally scaled with SADABS version 2005/1 (Bruker AXS Inc.). The sample was mounted on a glass fiber using vacuum grease and cooled to 100 K. The intensity data were measured as series of phi and omega oscillation frames each of 1° for 5-20 sec/frame. The detector was operated in 512 × 512 mode and was positioned 4.5 cm from the sample. Cell parameters were determined from a non-linear least squares fit in the range of 4.0The space group was determined by systematic absences and statistical tests and verified by subsequent refinement. The structure was solved by direct methods28 and refined by the full-matrix least-squares methods on F2 (link). The hydrogen atom positions were determined from difference peaks and ultimately refined by a riding model with idealized geometry. Non-hydrogen atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters. The absolute structure was determined by refinement of the Flack parameter.29 Crystallographic data for the structures reported in this paper have been deposited at the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Center with the deposition numbers: CCDC 1402441 (3) and CCDC 1402442 (5).

Cryoprotection and X-ray Diffraction of Protein Crystals

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Prior to data collection, crystals were cryoprotected by transferring them to solutions containing salt, buffer and precipitant concentrations equal to their theoretical initial concentrations in the hanging drop experiment, yet containing glycerol in the concentration range 25–35% (v/v). Crystals were allowed to equilibrate in this solution for 0.5–1 min. Once equilibrated, the crystals were removed with a standard wire loop, flash frozen in liquid N2, and equilibrated for about 30 s prior to affixing to the goniometer. X-ray diffraction data were collected at 100 K using a Rigaku RAXIS IV area detector positioned on a Rigaku RU200 rotating angle X-ray generator operated at 40 kV and 70 mA producing CuKα graphite-monochromatic radiation (1.5418 nm). Data frames were collected in 0.5° intervals with exposure times of 120 sec at crystal-to-detector distances of 100–120 mm.

Structural Determination of INPP1 Crystals

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
INPP1 diffraction data from capillary mounted crystals were collected on dual Xuong-Hamlin Mark II multiwire area detectors (39 (link)) equipped with helium boxes using CuKα X-rays generated by a Rigaku RU200 rotating anode. As was the case with the original INPP1 data sets (11 (link)), several data sets had to be reindexed from h,k,l to h, -k, -l to keep indexing consistent. This problem arises from the physical orientation along the C axis of crystals with P4 point groups. Inverse beam experiments were used to collect anomalous data by complementing ϕ,χ orientations with ϕ + 180°, -χ orientations. Data were reduced, merged, and scaled using the area detector software (40 (link)). Data from the inverse beam experiments were reduced without merging the Bijvoet pairs and were subsequently used to calculate the anomalous signal component. In preparation for structure solution and refinement, reflection files were converted to mtz format and assigned a conserved Rfree set using the program f2mtz (41 ).
INPP1D54A and substrate complex diffraction data were collected on an R-Axis IIc image plate detector using monochromatic Cu Kα X-rays (λ = 1.5418 Å) at 4 °C to prevent crystal decay and were processed using DENZO and SCALEPACK (42 ).

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.
