Flp-In 293 T-REx cells (Invitrogen) were grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium high glucose with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine. Cell lines stably expressing FLAG/HA-tagged RC3H1 protein were generated by co-transfection of pFRT/TO/FLAG/HA constructs with pOG44 (Invitrogen). Cells were selected by adding 15 μg ml−1 blasticidin and 100 μg ml−1 hygromycin (Invivogen). Expression of epitope-tagged proteins was induced by addition of 1 μg ml−1 doxycyclin. The expression of FLAG/HA-tagged RC3H1 protein was assessed by western analysis using mouse anti-HA.11 monoclonal antibody (Covance). For quantitative proteomics, cells were grown in SILAC medium as described before30 (link)45 (link). Briefly, Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium GlutaMAX lacking arginine and lysine (PAA) supplemented with 10% dialysed fetal bovine serum (Gibco) was used. Amino acids (84 mg l−1 13C615N4L-arginine plus 146 mg l−1 13C615N2L-lysine or 84 mg l-1 13C6-L-arginine plus 146 mg l−1 D4-L-lysine) or the corresponding non-labelled amino acids (Sigma) were added to obtain ‘heavy' ‘medium' or ‘light' cell culture medium, respectively. Labelled amino acids were purchased from Sigma Isotec.

SILAC media was made using SILAC DMEM (ThermoScientific) supplemented with 10% dialyzed FBS (Sigma) and 1% streptomycin/penicillin in 5% CO2 at 37°C. The medium was then divided and supplemented with 13C615N4 L-arginine (Sigma) and 13C6, 15N2-L-lysine (Sigma) or normal L-arginine (Sigma) and L-lysine (Sigma) to produce heavy (H) or light (L) SILAC medium, respectively. MRC-5 cells were propagated in parallel using H or L SILAC media for 8 cell doublings with media replaced every 24 h. Approximately 107 H-labeled MRC-5 cells were infected with TB40/E at an MOI of 5.0 IU/cell. An equivalent number of L-labeled cells were mock-infected as control. The cells were incubated at 37°C for 2 hr to allow virus to adsorb followed by the addition of pre-warmed L or H medium.

Quantitative Comparative Cell Synchronization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Cdc11-TAP strain was grown in standard SD medium and the Cdc11-GFP strain in SILAC-SD medium containing 13C6,15N4-L-arginine and 13C6,15N2-L-lysine (Sigma Aldrich) as only source for arginine and lysine. Incorporation of labeled amino acids was confirmed by analyzing protein extracts from labeled cells by gel-based nano-HPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis.
Full incorporation of the labeled amino acids was obtained by diluting a preculture grown overnight in SILAC medium into fresh SILAC medium and incubating it at 30°C for 7.5 h (S1 Fig).
An overnight culture of each strain was diluted into 400 ml fresh medium and grown overnight at 30°C to the desired OD600nm for cell synchronization. The synchrony of the cultures was monitored by microscopy and the cells were harvested by centrifugation and immediately used for affinity purification.
Cell synchronization was performed either with alpha-factor (Sigma) (3.7 μM final concentration pre-dissolved in 0.1 M HCl; added to the cell culture at an OD600nm of 1 and incubated at 30°C for 2:40 h) or hydroxyurea (Sigma) (0.2 M final concentration; added to the cell culture at an OD600nm of 1 and incubated at 30°C for 3:30 h). Temperature-sensitive strains were arrested by incubation at 37°C for 3:25 h after the OD600nm reached 0.6.

Quantitative N-terminal Proteomics via SILAC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary and immortalized fibroblasts were cultured in MEM SILAC growth medium supplemented with 10% dialyzed FBS and either natural 12C6-l-arginine (Sigma-Aldrich; A8094) for BJ control cells (WT or WT-hTERT cells) or 13C615N4-l-arginine (Sigma-Aldrich; 608033) for hNaa10-S37P cells (S37P or S37P-hTERT cells) at a concentration of 37.8 mg/l (i.e. 30% of the suggested concentration present in EMEM at which arginine to proline conversion was not detectable for S37P fibroblasts). Cells were cultured for at least six population doublings (14 days) to ensure complete incorporation of the labeled arginine. All free N termini were in vitro labeled by 13C2D3-acetylation and this labeling combined with differential l-arginine SILAC allows for the calculation of the degree of Nt-acetylation and for the relative quantification of N-terminal peptides between two samples (5 (link),56 (link),60 (link)). Cells (1–3 × 107) were lysed in 50 mm sodium phosphate (pH 7.5), 100 mm NaCl, 1% CHAPS, 0.5 mm EDTA and 0.5 × complete protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche) for 15 min one ice and centrifuged for 3 min at 16 000 g at 4°C, protein concentrations measured and equal amounts of control and S37P cell lysate mixed together before the lysates were subjected to N-terminal COFRADIC analysis and LC–MS/MS analysis as previously described (74 ).

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.
