Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
mSH2, cSH2 and tSH2-WT were cloned from the yeast display vector into the pET42 vector using the restriction sites SpeI and XhoI to generate GST-tagged fusions. Primers FP2 and RP2 were used to introduce the restriction sites by PCR to facilitate cloning of mSH2 and cSH2 whereas primers FP3 and RP2 were used for cloning of tSH2-WT. Sequences were verified by colony sequencing using a T7 reverse primer by Genewiz. Subsequently, plasmids were introduced into Rosetta Cells™ (EMD Biosciences). Protein expression was induced by addition of 1mM IPTG followed by incubation at 20 °C for 12 hours with shaking at 250 rpm. After induction, cells were harvested by centrifugation (4800g, 10min), resuspended in PBS with 0.2mM PMSF (Sigma Aldrich) and lysed by sonication (2 sec ON, 5 sec OFF) for 7 minutes. The lysate was cleared by centrifugation and filtration through a 0.22 μm filter and purified using a GSTrap FF column (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences) on a Bio-Rad Biologic LP system using a linear glutathione gradient. The eluted fractions were analyzed by SDS PAGE and pure fractions were combined and dialyzed into 4L of PBS using a 3.5kDa MWCO filter (Thermo Fisher). Protein concentrations were determined by bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay (Thermo scientific).

Escherichia coli strain BL21 (DE3) or Rosette2 (DE3) were transformed with plasmids and cultured at 37°C. When the absorbance at 600 nm of the cultures reached 0.4, IPTG and ethanol were added to a final concentration of 1 mM and 2%, respectively for induction, and cells were cultured at 15°C for 16–24 h. Cells were harvested and disrupted by sonication to obtain cell free extracts. Recombinant full-length FD protein was purified from the inclusion body under denaturation conditions using Ni-NTA agarose (QIAGEN) according to the manufacture's instructions. Recombinant GST-tagged and His-tagged proteins were purified from cell-free extracts with a GSTrap FF column (GE Healthcare) and HisTrap HP column (GE Healthcare), respectively. The purities of the recombinant proteins were verified by SDS-PAGE and staining with Rapid Stain CBB (Nacalai tesque).

The pGEX6P-1 bacterial expression vector carrying PLpro was kindly provided by Prof. Lei Liu (Tsinghua University, Beijing, China). PLpro C191S, C194S and C191S/C194S mutants were generated from wild-type PLpro plasmid using Mut Express II Fast Mutagenesis Kit V2 (Vazyme Biotech, Nanjing, China) and verified by DNA sequencing.

E. coli competent cells (Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China) were transformed with the plasmid, cultured in 2×YT medium at 37°C until the OD
600 reached 0.6. Then, protein expression was induced by the addition of 0.5 mM IPTG and overnight incubation at 18°C. The cells were harvested by centrifugation, resuspended in the lysis buffer supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail (Sangon Biotech) and lysed by sonication. After centrifugation at 20,000
g for 1 h at 4°C, the supernatant was applied to a GSTrap FF column (5 mL; GE Healthcare, Sunnyvale, USA) and washed with the washing buffer. GST-tagged PLpro proteins were eluted with the elution buffer. PreScission Protease (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was added to the eluate to remove the GST-tag, followed by dialysis overnight at 4°C. PreScission Protease and GST tags were removed by GSTrap FF column, after which purified wild-type PLpro or its mutants were quantified by SDS-PAGE.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
pDEST15 vector expressing GST‐SlCaM6 was transformed into Rosetta™(DE3) competent cells, and the fusion protein was induced and purified with GSTrap column (GSTrap FF column, GE Healthcare) following the user manual. Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Native‐PAGE) was carried out as described previously (Niepmann & Zheng, 2006; Arndt et al., 2012). Equal volumes of 133 μM synthetic peptide and 50 μM GST‐ or His‐ SlCaM6 were mixed and incubated for 1 h at 4°C. Peptide–protein interactions were analysed on 12% tris‐glycine native gels (30 mM Tris‐HCl pH 7.5, 190 mM glycine, 5 mM DTT). NativeMark Unstained Protein Standard (Life Technologies) was used as a protein marker for the analysis. The electrophoresis was performed with the Mini‐PROTEAN Tetra Cell apparatus (BioRad) in native running buffer (25 mM Tris base, 192 mM Glycine) at a low current (10 mA) at 4°C. The proteins on the gel were visualized by Coomassie blue staining (Blakesley & Boezi, 1977).

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.
