Purification and Characterization of SiARDP-GST and SiAREB1-GST Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SiARDP-GST and SiAREB1-GST vectors were constructed and transferred into E. coli (BL21) by Li et al. (2014) (link). After induction, the fusion proteins were purified trough Glutathione Sepharose 4B column (GE, USA). Oligonucleotides (P1-R, P2-R, and P3-R) and their reverse complementary oligonucleotides (P1-F, P2-F, and P3-F, respectively), which were labeled with biotin, were synthesized. Meanwhile, the oligonucleotides (competitor2-1R, competitor2-1F, competitor2-2R, and competitor2-2F) for competitors were synthesized. All of these sequences are shown in Supplementary Table S1. Double-stranded DNA was obtained by heating oligonucleotides at 92°C for 30 s and annealing at 30°C overnight. The gel-shift assay was performed following the manufacturer’s protocol for the LightShift Chemiluminescent Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA) Kit (Thermo, USA).

The Light Shift Chemiluminescent Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA) kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 20148) was used to detect DNA-protein interactions. The sequences of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor response element (PPRE) consensus oligonucleotides were as follows: forward, 5′-CAAAACTAGGTCAAAGGTCA-3′; reverse, 5′-GTTTTGATCCAGTTTCCAGT-3′.
Oligonucleotides were labeled with biotin at the 5′-end. The reaction mixture was subjected to PAGE and transferred to nylon membranes after incubation with an oligonucleotide probe for 20 min, which was immediately cross-linked using a ultraviolet transilluminator. Chemiluminescence was then used to detect the bands.

Nuclear proteins were extracted from cells using NE-PER Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Extraction Reagents (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Then, nuclear extracts were incubated with synthetic 3′ biotin-labeled 23-bp oligonucleotides by using a LightShift Chemiluminescent Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA) Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The oligonucleotide sequences are shown in Supplementary Table 4 (available online). The binding reactions were subjected to electrophoresis on a 6% polyacrylamide gel, and the products were detected by a chemiluminescent reaction with a stabilized streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate. Unlabelled probes were added to the reaction at a 200-fold excess for competition assays.

Nuclear protein was extracted from HEK293 and THP-1 cell lines in different experiments. Thirty mer oligonucleotides flanking rs2069837 with A/G allele (5′-TGCCAGGCACTTTAA/GATAAATATTGTGTCT-3′) and their complementary oligonucleotides (5′-AGACACAATATTTATT/CTAAAGTGCCTGGCA-3′) were synthesised with or without 5′ end biotin label (Integrated DNA Technologies).

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.
