SAXS data were collected at SOLEIL Light Source on beamline SWING. In line SEC-SAXS was performed using an Agilent 1200 HPLC system equipped with a 2.4 mL Bio-Sec. 3 (Agilent) column. Data were recorded on a PCCD170170 (AVIEX) detector and with a ~5–17 keV energy range allowing the collection of the angular range q between 0.0038–0.62 Å−1. Samples were loaded onto the size exclusion column previously equilibrated in 25 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM TCEP at a concentration of about 200 μM. The primary reduction of the SAXS data was performed using the software Foxtrot (http://www.synchrotron-soleil.fr/Recherche/LignesLumiere/SWING). Data processing was carried out with ATSAS (http://www.embl-hamburg.de/biosaxs/software.html) to obtain the radius of gyration (Rg), the maximum particle dimension (Dmax), the excluded particle volume (Vp) and the pair distribution function (P(r)). The program SCATTER was used to obtain the excluded particle volume (Vp). A low resolution three-dimensional ab initio model for all the samples was generated using the program DAMMIF, averaging the results of 25 independent runs using the program DAMAVER. CRYSOL was used to compare available structures with experimental scattering profiles. The ab initio models were rendered with PyMOL.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The metalloproteomes for each condition were analyzed via SEC-ICP-MS using an Agilent Infinity II LC coupled to an Agilent 7800 ICP-MS. The methods were inspired by work done by the Roberts lab [18 (link),19 (link)]. A total of 160 µg of soluble protein (entire proteome) was injected onto an Agilent Bio-SEC 3 (3 µm, 300 Å, 4.6 × 300 mm) column and proteins were separated for 25 min using 200 mM ammonium acetate pH 8 as the mobile phase, with a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. The five metal ion signals were monitored, and these included: 24Mg, 56Fe, 63Cu, 66Zn, and 75As, with an integration time/mass of 1.5 s per analyte. The monitoring of ion signals was performed using the Agilent MassHunter 4.6 (version C.01.06). Metal signals were manually integrated in MassHunter, and all other data workup was performed in Microsoft Excel. Statistical differences were determined using a Student’s t test at a 95% confidence interval.

Recombinant expression and purification of AnAPN1

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The near full-length coding sequence of An. gambiae AnAPN1 was amplified from midgut cDNA (pMTAPN1F 5′-TACCTACCATGGCCGCCATACAAGAGTAGTGGA-3′ and pMTAPN1R 5′-GATATGGCGGCCGCCTCGGCTAGGAAGTTGGACAG-3′) and cloned into the pMT-Bip-V5-His C Drosophila expression vector using NcoI and NotI restriction enzymes. Drosophila S2 cells (Life Technologies) were stably transfected with the expression vector using Effectene Transfection Reagent (Qiagen) and grown in the presence of hygromycin B (300 μg/mL). Expression was induced upon addition of copper sulfate (600 μM), and near full-length recombinant AnAPN1 (rFL-APN1) was recovered from the supernatant 24 hours later by concentration with PEG-8000 in Spectra/Por 2 dialysis sacks (12-14 kDa molecular weight cut off) (Spectrum Labs). The protein was subsequently purified using Ni-NTA agarose (Qiagen). For further purification, 50 μl of recombinant protein was directly injected onto a Bio SEC-3 (Agilent, 150 Å, 7.8×300 mm) HPLC size-exclusion column equilibrated with 150 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.0 (Supplementary Fig. 7), followed by buffer exchange into 10 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.5, using a 3 kDa Amicon filter (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA). Purity was assessed via SDS-PAGE and purified AnAPN1 was subsequently used in functional analyses and crystallization trials.

SAXS Analysis of Yeast 5S RNA and Complexes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SAXS data on S. cerevisiae free 5S RNA were collected on beamline SWING (Soleil Synchrotron) at an energy of 13 keV. SAXS data on the Rpf2–Rrs1 protein complex and the 5S–Rpf2–Rrs1 RNA–protein complex, either full-length or proteolyzed, were collected on beamline BM29 (ESRF) at an energy of 12.5 keV. Scattering data were collected at 20°C at sample concentrations between 1 and 25 mg/mL. For measurement on the 5S RNA at SWING, the sample was injected on a gel filtration column (bio-SEC 3, Agilent), and data were recorded on the in-line elution profile (David and Perez 2009 ). For proteins and protein–RNA complexes, samples were injected directly on the BM29 flow cell (Pernot et al. 2013 (link)). Buffer background scattering was collected on the gel filtration buffers used for the RNA, proteins, and RNA–protein complexes. Background subtraction, averaging, and scaling were carried out using Foxtrot on the SWING beamline or the EDNA pipeline available on the BM29 beamline.

SEC-SAXS experiments were performed on beamline BL23A at the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC, Hsinchu, Taiwan) with the capacity to separate aggregated particles on a silica-based size-exclusion column (Bio SEC-3, Agilent, United States). SAXS signals were detected by using a Pilatus detector (1M-F) and processed by an in-house developed program to obtain the SAXS profiles (Kohn et al., 2004 (link); Jeng et al., 2010 (link); Lee and Hsu, 2018 (link)). The SAXS data were collected for momentum transfer q ranging from 0.005 to 0.434 Å−1, with X-ray wavelength 1.03 Å and 13 keV. The beam geometry was set to 0.5 × 0.5 mm2. During the HPLC separation before SAXS measurements, the mobile phase consisted of buffer A (with and without 7 M urea) with the addition of 2% glycerol to prevent radiation damage. The protein solutions were concentrated to 10 mg/ml with the same mobile phase buffer immediately before SAXS measurements.
