Electrophoretic runs were performed according to the study by Ruiz et al. (2016) (link) with minor modifications. Proteins (40 mg lane–1) were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) using The Mini Protean TETRA apparatus (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Italy). The molecular mass standard was the Neobiotech (Nanterre, France) Elite Prestained Protein Ladder (6.5–270 kDa). Samples were dried (RapidVap Evaporator Labconco) under vacuum and resuspended in 30 ml MilliQ water, and thus, sample buffer was added [final concentrations 2% SDS, 10% glycerol, 200 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, and 0.01 mg/ml bromophenol blue in 63 mM Tris-HCl (pH 6.8)]. Samples were boiled for 5 min prior to loading. Gels were fixed at room temperature in methanol/glacial acetic acid/water (50/5/45, v/v) for 20 min and then in 50% methanol for 10 min. After fixing, gels were stained with Bio-Safe Coomassie blue (Bio-Rad, Milan, Italy) as described in the instruction protocol.
Gliadins were subdivided into two classes (ω- and α-, γ-) based on their molecular weight, whereas glutenins were subdivided into HMW-GS and LMW-GS (De Santis et al., 2017 (link)). Protein profiles were analyzed using the Azurespot Pro software (Azure Biosystems, Dublin, CA, United States).

Chemicals reagents were from Sigma-Merck. Deoxynucleosides, dNMPs, dNTPs, AMP, ADP and ATP were all of >99% purity. Acetic anhydride and H3PO4 (85%) used for the synthesis of acetyl phosphate were ACS grade. Taq DNA polymerase and broad range (10–200 kDa) molecular weight markers were from New England Biolabs (MA, USA). SDS-PAGE gels (15%) were run on a Mini-protein Tetra system and stained with Bio-safe Coomassie Blue (Biorad). His-tagged proteins were purified with His-GraviTrap or His-SpinTrap kits from GE Healthcare.

Cpx7A Mutagenesis and Kinase Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
QuikChange Lightning (Agilent) was used for site-directed mutagenesis of unedited Cpx7A to generate Cpx7AI125M,N130S (termed N130S). Recombinant Cpx fused with GST was expressed in E. coli (BL21) and purified using glutathione sepharose 4B (Fisher Scientific). Peak fractions were concentrated and further purified by gel filtration as previously described11 (link). In vitro kinase assays were performed using purified recombinant Cpx proteins and the catalytic subunit of CK2 (C70–10G, SignalChem). Briefly, 10 mg of purified GST-fusion protein (unedited Cpx7AI125,N130 or edited Cpx7AI125M,N130S) was used per reaction and incubated with 2,500 units of recombinant kinase and [32P]ATP (Perkin Elmer). Reaction products were separated by SDS-PAGE and gels were stained with Bio-Safe Coomassie Blue (Bio-Rad), dried, and exposed to autoradiography film at room temperature. Mean integrated density of each band was quantified using FIJI and relative density of phospho-Cpx (pCpx) was calculated by normalizing to input band intensity determined by Coomassie staining.

Protein Separation and Visualization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples were centrifuged at 16,000g for 5 min to separate the soluble fraction (supernatant) from the insoluble fraction (pellet). Both fractions were dissolved in NuPAGE LDS sample buffer (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) with and without 50 mM DTT (BioRad) and incubated at 80°C for 90 s. Approximately 10 μg of each sample was separated on a 3-8% Tris-Acetate gel using Tris-Acetate running buffer (Life Technologies) for 65 min at 150V. A Hi-Mark unstained molecular weight ladder was used as a reference (Life Technologies). The starting protein concentration for the supernatant of one sample (stir-D3) was low so a maximum of 20 μL was loaded. Protein bands were visualized by staining with Bio-Safe Coomassie blue (BioRad).

Mitrecin A Protein Sequencing

Purified Mitrecin A was separated by SDS-PAGE using Mini-PROTEAN TGX Any kD polyacrylamide gels (Bio-Rad) and was transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (Life Technologies; IB4010-02) using an iBlot gel transfer system. Protein transferred to the membrane was stained with BioSafe Coomassie blue (Bio-Rad), and the bands corresponding to Mitrecin A protein were excised. The membrane-bound protein was washed six times with Type-I water, and ten residues of the N-terminus were sequenced at the Iowa State University Protein Facility by Edman degradation using a 494 Procise protein sequencer and a 140C Analyzer (Life Technologies).

We performed separation and identification of MHC isoforms following a previously described method28 (link). Briefly, muscle blocks were cut into cryosections of 10 μm thickness in a cryostat (Thermo Electronic) cooled to −20°C. Myosin isoforms were separated using 6% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) on a Bio-Rad Mini-PROTEAN gel system (Bio- Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Electrophoresis was performed at 140 V for 10 h. The gels were subsequently stained with Bio-Safe Coomassie blue (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). In the MHC isoform region, three major bands were separated in order of migration to MHC I or IIa and IIx depending on their molecular masses compared with those of marker proteins. Each MHC isoform was expressed as percentage of total densitometry. Densitometry was performed using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, MD, USA) (Figure 1).

Unlabeled primary cell lysates were mixed with the super-SILAC standard in a 1:1 ratio by protein content, as determined by BCA assay. All samples were desalted and buffer exchanged to Tris/HCl buffer using Micro bio-spin 6 columns (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Protein concentration was determined by BCA assay and aliquots containing 80ug of total protein per sample run (up to 240ug for triplicate analysis) were dried by vacuum centrifugation. Protein pellets were resuspended in XT sample buffer containing Criterion XT reducing agent and denatured at 95°C for five minutes. Proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE on Criterion XT 4-12% Bis-Tris gels (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) at 180 volts for 1 hour. The gels were fixed (50:5:45/methanol:aceticacid:water/v:v:v), stained with Bio-Safe Coomassie blue (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) and destained in H2O. 32 gel sections were excised from each sample run and the individual bands were processed for in-gel trypsin proteolysis as previously described10. Trypsin digestion was performed using 12.5ng/ul of mass spectrometry grade Trypsin (Promega, Madison, WI) diluted in 25mM NH4HCO3 solution. Peptides recovered from each band were dried by vacuum centrifugation and resuspended in 8ul of 0.1% TFA for mass spectrometry analysis.

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.
