UltrAuFoil R1.2/1.3 Au300 mesh grids (Quantifoil) were glow discharged for 1 min on each side at 25 mA using a Pelco easiGlow unit (Ted Pella, Inc.). 3.5 μl of purified sample were applied to the grid and blotted with filter paper (595 Filter Paper, Ted Pella, Inc.) for 2.5 s using a Mk. II Vitrobot (Thermo Fisher Scientific) with a −1 mm offset and then plunge frozen into liquid ethane.
Cryo-EM movies were recorded using SerialEM v3.840 in super-resolution mode on a 300 kV Titan Krios (Thermo Fisher Scientific) equipped with a post-GIF K3 direct detector (Gatan, Inc.). A total of 9732 movies were recorded at a nominal magnification of 81,000×, corresponding to a super-resolution pixel size of 0.54 Å, with a total dose of 46 electrons/Å2 and 40 frames per movie.

Cryo-EM Sample Preparation and Data Acquisition

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
3 µL of sample was applied to glow-discharged UltrAuFoil R1.2/1.3 Au 300 mesh grids (Quantifoil) and vitrified on a Vitrobot Mark IV (Thermo Fisher Scientific) set to 4 °C and 100% humidity and 10 s blot time. Data were collected on a Titan Krios G3i 300 kV electron microscope (Themo Fisher Scientific) equipped with GIF Quantum energy filter and K3 detector (Gatan). Data acquisition was performed in EFTEM NanoProbe mode with a 50 µM C2 aperture at an indicated magnification of ×105,000 with zero-loss slit width of 25 eV. The data was collected automatically with homemade scripts for SerialEM57 (link) performing a 9-hole beam-image shift acquisition scheme with one exposure in the centre of each hole. Experimental parameters are listed in Supplementary Table 1.

UltrAuFoil R1.2/1.3 Au300 mesh grids (Quantifoil) were glow discharged using a Pelco easiGlow (Ted Pella, Inc.) for 25 s at 25 mA. 3.5 μL of sample were applied to the glow discharged grid, and grids were vitrified using a Mk. II Vitrobot (Thermo Fisher Scientific) operating at ~85% relative humidity, 4°C, and 2.5 s blot time, and then plunge frozen into liquid ethane.
A total of 3,842 cryo-EM movies of S278E RACK1 samples were recorded using a 300kV Titan Krios G3 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) equipped with a K2 Summit direct detector (Gatan, Inc.) at a nominal magnification of 105K x, corresponding to 1.348 Å pixel size. Movies were recorded using SerialEM with a defocus range of −1.0 to −3.0 μm and at a dose rate of 1.0 e2/frame with a total exposure of 40 frames and each movie recording time was 8 s (Mastronarde, 2005 (link)).
For WT RACK1 samples, a total of 2,141 movies were recorded on a 300kV Titan Krios G3 equipped with a K3 direct detector (Gatan) at a nominal magnification of 81,000× corresponding to 1.058 Å pixel size. Data were collected in super-resolution mode using SerialEM with a defocus range of from −0.8 to −1.8 μm and at a dose rate of 1.1 e2/frame with a total exposure of 40 frames and each movie recorded for 2.53 s.

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.
