Human Pla2g2a cDNA in the pDONR221 vector was obtained from DNASU. Human Pla2g2a-Myc-His construct was obtained through a gateway reaction with the pDONR221-Pla2g2a entry vector and an engineered destination vector with CMV promoter and MycHisA tag (sPLA2-IIA-myc). Untagged human Pla2g2a was cloned into the pCDNA3.1 vector. Human PGRN and granulin-expressing constructs were previously described 53 (link),54 (link). Mouse Pla2g2a-Myc-DDK construct was obtained from Origene (m-sPLA2-IIA-myc). Mouse PGRN construct was cloned into pSecTag2B vector (Invitrogen) with an N-terminal FLAG-His tag (Flag-mPGRN). The N-terminal granulin G and F domains deleted PGRN (PGRNΔGF) (amino acids 206–593) was cloned into the pSectag2A vector with an N-terminal FLAG tag.

Recombinant VWF A1A2A3 tridomain protein was generated using complementary DNA encoding the human VWF A1, A2, and A3 domains (amino acids Q1238-G1874) and inserted via PCR into the pSecTag2B vector (Invitrogen, CA) as described elsewhere (Auton et al., 2007 (link)). Recombinant A1A2A3 was expressed in human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells and purified using affinity chromatography from conditioned medium. The purified A1A2A3 protein was dialyzed against 1x tris-buffered saline supplemented with 0.1% tween-20 and subjected to gel electrophoresis for verification of purity prior to experimental use (Auton et al., 2007 (link)).

Molecular Cloning of PSAP and PGRN

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human PSAP cDNA in the pDONR223 vector was a gift from H. Yu (Cornell University, Ithaca, NY). His- and FLAG-tagged PSAP construct was obtained by cloning PSAP into pSectag2B vector (Invitrogen). PSAP-V5 construct was obtained through a gateway reaction with pDONR223-PSAP entry vector and pDEST6.2 destination vector (Invitrogen). GST-PSAP construct was obtained by cloning mouse PSAP into the pGEX 6p-1 vector (GE Healthcare). PGRN constructs were previously described (Hu et al., 2010 (link)). His-tagged human PSAP construct was generated by cloning human PSAP cDNA into pSectag2 vector with a 6× his tag after signal sequence. GFP-PGRN was constructed by replacing the AP sequence with GFP in the pAP5-PGRN plasmid (Hu et al., 2010 (link)). N-terminal tagged mCherry-PSAP was cloned into pCDH-puro lentiviral vector.
For the mouse PSAP shRNA targeting construct, the targeting sequence 5′-GGAACTTGCTGAAAGATAA-3′, together with short hairpins, was cloned into the BglII and XhoI sites of the pSuper vector.

NLRR1 Protein Expression and Engineering

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human NLRR1 (NM_020873) tagged with HA at the C-terminal was cloned into the BamHI/NotI site of pcDNA3.1-myc-His (Invitrogen). This construct was used to generate other NLRR1-related plasmids. For secretion of the intact NLRR1 ectodomain, the corresponding PCR-amplified fragment of the intact extracellular region (exN1: M1-L632) was inserted into the BamHI/XhoI site of the pSecTag2B vector (Invitrogen). To fuse exN1 with human placental alkaline phosphatase (AP: NM_001632), the PCR fragment of AP (I18-G489) were inserted into the C-terminal of the pSecTag2B-exN1 vector using the In-Fusion cloning technique (Clontech). To generate the Fc chimeric proteins, intact exN1 and its deletion mutants (exN1-Fc: M1-L632; ΔLRR-Fc: N362-L632; ΔL-Ig-Fc: V516-L632) were introduced into the EcoRI site of pFUSE-hIgG1-Fc2 (Invivogen). The pEGFP-N1 plasmid was employed for EGFP-expressing cells. Expression vectors for WT ALK and ALK F1174L were kind gifts from Dr. Junko Takita (The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan). The ALK R1275Q construct was generated using site-directed mutagenesis. Mission short hairpin RNA constructs, NM_020873.3-427s1c1, NM_020873.3-846s1c1, and NM_020873.3-1359s1c1, were purchased from Sigma.

Generation of AV-SNAP Fusion Protein

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The AV-SNAP fusion protein was generated by introducing the previously described sequence of AV at the SfiI and NotI restriction sites of the pMS vector system (a derivate of the pSECTag2B vector from Invitrogen), which contains the SNAP-tag sequence [8 (link), 21 (link)]. The fusion protein contains an N-terminal His6-tag and was transiently expressed in HEK 293T cells and purified by immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) from cell culture supernatant using the His-tag, as previously described [20 (link), 21 (link)]. SDS-PAGE and Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining verified the successful protein purification.

The cDNAs for human progranulin (a generous gift from Professor Robert Farese) and proCTSD (GenScript #OHu26913) were sub-cloned into the pSecTag2B vector (ThermoFisher, #V90020). Progranulin was expressed with an N-terminal FLAG tag and proCTSD was expressed with an N-terminal His tag. HEK293FT cells (3x106) were seeded into 10cm plates and grown to 60% confluency. 5μg total DNA was transfected (Opti-MEM, ThermoFisher, #31985070, X-tremeGENE HP DNA Transfection Reagent, Sigma Aldrich, #6366236001). Cells were collected forty-eight hours later and re-suspended in lysis buffer with protease inhibitor (50mM Tris pH 7.4 (Teknova #T5074), 150mM NaCl (Fisher #S271-3), 1% Nonidet P-40 (Thermo Scientific #85124), cOmplete protease inhibitor (Roche, #04693124001). Cells were lysed for one hour on ice, centrifuged at 20,000g for 20 minutes and the supernatant was collected. The protein concentration of samples was measured by BCA. Immunoprecipitation was carried out against the FLAG tag on progranulin (Sigma Aldrich, #M8823).

Recombinant ADAMTSL2 Construct Generation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Recombinant human ADAMTSL2 constructs where generated by PCR-amplification with the Q5 Hot start high fidelity 2x master mix (NEB) and specific primer pairs to allow for restriction cloning. Cloning primers are listed in Supplemental Table S1. PCR products were amplified with the following program: 98 °C for 30 s, 34 cycles of 98 °C for 10 s, 55 °C for 30 s and 72 °C for 30 s/kb followed by a final extension for 2 min at 72 °C. The PCR products and the pSecTag 2B vector (ThermoFisher Scientific), which contains a signal peptide for secretion, were restriction-digested with BamHI × XhoI (NEB) and the agarose gel-purified DNA fragments were ligated with T4 DNA ligase (NEB) at 16 °C overnight. The N-terminal domains of ADAMTSL2, which include the endogenous signal peptide, were cloned in pcDNA3.1(-) Myc/His vector (ThermoFisher Scientific). Ligated plasmids were transformed in chemically competent E. coli DH5α cells (NEB, C2988J) and positive clones were identified by ampicillin resistance and verified by DNA sequencing after plasmid DNA extraction.

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.
