Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The proteasome active fractions, recovered after each purification step, were detected by measuring the CT-like activity using the specific fluorogenic substrate LLVY. The T. bernacchii hemolysates were loaded on a DEAE Sepharose Fast Flow column, previously equilibrated in 25 mM Tris/HCl, pH 7.5 (Buffer A), and connected to an AKTAFPLC system (Amersham Biosciences). Bound proteins were eluted using an ionic strength gradient from 0 to 1 M NaCl in Buffer A at a flow rate of 1 ml·min−1. The active fractions were pooled, dialysed extensively against 25 mM Tris/HCl, pH 7.5 and 1 M ammonium sulfate (Buffer A) and then loaded on to a Phenyl Sepharose (Amersham) column, connected to an AKTAFPLC system (Amersham Biosciences), equilibrated in the same buffer. Bound proteins were eluted with a linear gradient (0–100%) of 25 mM Tris/HCl (pH 7.5) (buffer B) at a flow rate of 1 ml·min−1. The active fractions were pooled, dialysed against 25 mM Tris/HCl (pH 7.5) and then applied to a Superdex 200 PC 3.2/30 column connected to a SMART System (Pharmacia), equilibrated in 25 mM Tris/HCl, pH 7.5 and 50 mM NaCl. Finally, active fractions were pooled and the purified proteasome was stored in 25 mM Tris/HCl pH 7.5, containing 5% glycerol.

Oligomeric State Analysis of HIGLE Proteins by SEC

Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) was performed to analyze the oligomeric state of At-HIGLE, At-HIGLE1–183 and At-HIGLE184-368 using the AKTA-FPLC system (Amersham). Sephacryl 16/60 S-100 (for At-HIGLE1–183 and At-HIGLE184–368) and Sephacryl 16/60 S-200 columns (for At-HIGLE) were equilibrated with 20 mM Tris–HCl (pH 8.5), 5% glycerol, 5 mM beta-mercaptoethanol and 0.5 M NaCl. The column was calibrated using gel filtration markers (Bio-RAD). A standard curve was generated using gel filtration markers (Vitamin B12, Myoglobin, Ovalbumin and gamma globulin). Kav was calculated as (Ve – Vo)/(Vt – Vo), where Ve, Vo and Vt are elution volume, void volume, and total volume, respectively. Thyroglobulin (670 kDa) was used to determine the column's void volume.

Recombinant human troponin complex was produced as described in detail previously.5 (link) Briefly, three different cTnI forms were made via site-directed mutations of Ser42/44 and Ser23/24 into aspartic acid (D) to mimic phosphorylation or into alanine (A) to mimic dephosphorylation: 42D/44D, 42A/44A and 23D/24D. cDNA encoding human cardiac isoforms (troponin C (cTnC), myc-tag labeled cTnT (cTnT-myc), cTnI wild-type, and cTnI mutants) were transformed in E. coli Rosetta224 (link) and cultured under carbenicillin/chloramphenicol selection in Overnight Express TB medium (EMD Biosciences). Cultures were harvested by centrifugation, re-suspended in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and centrifuged at 10000xg. Pellets were stored at −80°C until used. Troponin subunits were purified using fast protein liquid chromatography (AKTA-FPLC System Amersham Biosciences) essentially as described previously.24 (link)Fractions containing equal ratios of cTnT, cTnC and cTnI subunits were pooled, subsequently purified by AKTA-FPLC chromatography using a Resource Q to remove residual uncomplexed troponin subunit and finally dialyzed against 10 mM imidazole, 200 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 2.5 mM EGTA, 1 mM DTT, 0.1 mM PMSF (pH 6.9; twice, 1L each) prior to concentrating the complexes to a final concentration >2 mg/mL by centrifugation using Centriprep YM-10 centrifugal filters (Millipore).

Dynamic Perifusion of Isolated Islets

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Isolated islets (from the same groups as above) recovered overnight in CMRL-1066 medium (Gibco) containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 2 mmol/l L-glutamine at 37 °C. Thirty islets per NHP were placed in a dynamic perifusion system (Amersham Biosciences AKTA FPLC System) as previously described37 (link). To summarize, the perifusion was performed using Krebs buffer with 2.8 mM glucose at a flow rate of 1 ml/min for 30 min to establish stable basal insulin secretion. Next, the islets were perifused with 2.8 mM glucose for 10 min, and fractions of 500 μl were collected every 30 s. Then, the glucose concentration was increased to 20 mM, and fractions of 500 μl were collected every 30 s for 20 min. Finally, the islets were perifused with 30 mM KCl, and fractions of 500 μl were collected every 30 s for 10 min. After the perifusion, the islets were recollected from the column for protein quantification. The insulin in the effluent was measured as described above. The fractional insulin secretion rate was calculated as secreted insulin per minute normalized to the protein content.

Purification of Target Protein Using IMAC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For AviPure purification, 5 g biomass (pellets) from the previously mini-pilot scale fermentation was re-suspended in 40 mL sonication/Wash buffer (50 mM Phosphate Buffer pH 7.5, 300 mM NaCl, 10 mM Imidazole) and 350 µL protease inhibitor cocktail mix. Direct sonication was performed for 45 min using amplitude of 90 % and 0.6 cycles; with the beaker containing cell suspension placed in ice/ice cold water and was continuously stirred to keep cool. After sonication, the lysate was centrifuged for 1 h at 16,000 rpm using a Beckman Coulot Avanti J-E centrifuge to get rid of cell debris. IMAC was used to purify the target protein and a 5 mL Ni–NTA column volume was chosen, equilibrated with sonication/wash buffer before loading. After centrifugation, the final 40 mL supernatant was loaded on the column. UPC–900 Amersham Biosciences AKTA FPLC system was employed for the purification. The elution buffer used was the same as the sonication/wash buffer, but contained a higher imidazole concentration (250 mM). The obtained protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE following the method of Laemmli.

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.
