SDS-PAGE gels (7.5%) were prepared according to a standard protocol (Laemmli 1970 (link)). Crude cell extracts of T. forsythia ATCC 43037, UB4 and defined mutants thereof were run in a Mini Protean electrophoresis apparatus (Bio-Rad, Vienna, Austria) and proteins were visualized with colloidal CBB R-250. For Western immunoblot analyses, proteins were transferred onto a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Bio-Rad) using a Mini Trans-Blot Cell (Bio-Rad). Polyclonal antisera raised in rabbits against the recombinant S-layer proteins TfsA (α-TfsA) and TfsB (α-TfsB) (Sekot et al. 2012 (link)) were used as primary antibodies followed by a monoclonal goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody labeled with IRDye 800CW (LI-COR Biosciences, Lincoln, NE). S-layer protein bands were visualized at 800 nm using an Odyssey Infrared Imaging System (LI-COR Biosciences).

Protein bands were visualized through Coomassie staining. The concentrations of sildenafil and cGMP were higher than therapeutically used concentrations in order to demonstrate the conformational structural changes according to [19 (link)].

Crude cell extracts of T. forsythia wild-type and mutant cells (TFΔ0955, TFΔ2327) were run on 10% SDS-PAGE gels in a Mini Protean electrophoresis apparatus (Bio-Rad, Austria) according to a standard protocol and visualized with colloidal Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 (Laemmli, 1970 (link)).
For Western immunoblotting, proteins were transferred onto a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (Bio-Rad) using a Mini Trans-Blot Cell (Bio-Rad). Polyclonal rabbit antiserum raised against the recombinant S-layer proteins TfsA (α-TfsA) and TfsB (α-TfsB) was used in combination with goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody labeled with IRDye 800CW (LI-COR Biosciences, USA). Visualization of the S-layer proteins was done at 800 nm using the Odyssey Infrared Imaging System (LI-COR Biosciences). Staining of carbohydrates was done with the periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) reagent following a standard protocol (Doerner and White, 1990 (link)). For semi-quantification of S-layer proteins present in T. forsythia wild-type and TFΔ0955 and TFΔ2327 mutant cells, equal amounts of total cell protein were loaded on the SDS-PA gels in two different dilutions, each, followed by Western immunoblotting. The integrated intensity of the detected bands was determined using the LICOR Odyssey Application software 3.0.21.

SDS-PAGE was performed following the method of Li [34 (link)] with some modifications. Briefly, 1 mg/mL of MP samples (30 μL) from 2.6 was mixed with 10 μL 4 × DTT SDS-PAGE loading buffer. Then, the mixture was heated at 100 °C for 10 min. The loading mixture (10 μL) and molecular standard marker (5 μL, Thermo Fisher Scientific Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) were loaded onto every precast gel lane (GenScript, 12% polyacrylamide, 15 wells). A MiniProtean electrophoresis apparatus (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) was used at 4 °C with the following voltage: 80 V for 20 min and 100 V for 80 min. Thereafter, the gel was stained for 40 min and decolored for 10 h by hand using a staining solution and decolorizing liquid (GenScript Biotech Corp, Nanjing, China). The gels were scanned using a molecular imaging system (Gel Doc XR+, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA).

Quantitative Analysis of T. forsythia Proteins

Sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) of OMVs and crude T. forsythia cell extract was performed on 12% slab gels in a Mini Protean electrophoresis apparatus (Bio-Rad, Vienna, Austria) (Laemmli, 1970 (link)). Proteins were stained with colloidal Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 and glycans were visualized with periodic acid Schiff reagent. Western-blotting of (glyco)proteins to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane using anti-TfsA and anti-TfsB specific polyclonal antiserum was performed as described elsewhere (Steiner et al., 2007 (link)). Relative quantification of S-layer proteins using OMV preparations equaling 5 μg, 0.5 μg and 0.05 μg of total protein was performed directly from the Western blots using an Odyssey scanner (LI-COR, Bad Homburg, Germany) and integration of the intensity signal obtained from the S-layer bands at 700 nm using the application software 3.0.
The protein content of the samples was determined with the 2-D Quant kit (GE Healthcare, Vienna, Austria). To determine the LPS content of the OMV preparation used in the cell culture experiments, the amount of 3-deoxy-d-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid (Kdo) was calculated (Warren, 1959 (link)).

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.
