Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The composition of the culture media was carefully adjusted to minimize background fluorescence (FL), provide sufficient amounts of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) to avoid starvation, and maintain the pH stably throughout the culturing time. The medium was composed as follows [g L−1]: yeast nitrogen base without amino acids and ammonium sulfate, 5.1 (Sigma-Aldrich); ammonium sulfate or casamino acid hydrolysate, 15, (POCH); glucose or glycerol, 35 (POCH); buffered with 0.1 or 0.2 M maleic acid (POCH). Precultures were developed in media composed of a yeast nitrogen base, 5.1 (Sigma-Aldrich); ammonium sulfate, 15, (POCH); glucose, 25 (POCH); buffered with 0.2 M maleic acid at pH 5.0. All the media were filter-sterilized with 0.22-μm filters (Merck- Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany).

For the proteinase K treatment, LPS-free supernatant was digested with proteinase K (0.2 mg/ml; Sigma) at 55°C overnight, following incubation in boiling water for 30 min. The supernatant was then centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 1 min, and the supernatant was collected and used to vaccinate the mice. For the ammonium sulfate precipitation step, ammonium sulfate (Sigma) at 20% (final concentration) was added to the supernatant and incubated at 4°C with shaking for 1 h. The mixture was centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 15 min, and the supernatant and pellet were collected. ammonium sulfate at 50% (final concentration) was added to the supernatant fraction from the 20% precipitation, and the same procedure described above was performed. The pellets of the 20% and 50% fractions and the supernatant of the 50% fraction were dialyzed in PBS and used to vaccinate the mice.

Yeast Genetic Manipulation and Protein Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All yeast strains used in this study are detailed in Table S1. Yeast genetic manipulations were conducted using classical yeast knock-in/out protocols. For ectopic protein expression, genes were cloned into pBP73-C or -G vectors encoding either the GPD promoter or CPY promoter. All plasmids used in this study are detailed in Table S2. Yeast transformations were performed using the lithium acetate method. We used Ds-Red HDEL to label the ER. Strains were selected using antibiotics or dropout selection media. All chemicals used to make the yeast media were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (succinic acid, sodium hydroxide, ammonium sulfate, yeast nitrogen base without amino acids, or ammonium sulfate). Yeast media was supplemented with a final concentration of 2% dextrose unless otherwise indicated. oleate (Sigma-Aldrich; O1008) and POA (Sigma-Aldrich; P9417) were added to the culture media as indicated (0.2% oleate is equivalent to 6.32 mM, and 0.2% POA is equivalent to 7.04 mM).

Crystals of the hSpt2C(Se-Met, I615M)–H3/H4 tetramer complex were grown under conditions similar to that of the native complex from a solution containing 0.02 M NaCl (Fluke), 0.2 M HEPES 7.5 (Sigma-Aldrich), and 1.6 M ammonium sulfate (Sigma-Aldrich) at 20°C using the hanging drop vapor diffusion method.

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.
