The media were centrifuged at 20,400 × g for 5 min and filtered through 30 kDa Amicon ultra and washed 13 times with PBS to eliminate the compounds. The media were then separated by a Superose six column (GE healthcare) in PBS at 0.5 ml/min with an AKTA explorer 10S (GE healthcare). HEK293 cells expressing P301S tau with RD transduction were sonicated with ice cold PBS supplemented with complete and PhosSTOP. After centrifugation at 100,000 × g for 20 min, the supernatants were collected as PBS-soluble cell extracts and loaded onto the column. Recombinant 2N4R tau (2.1 μg) was loaded as a control. HMW calibration kit (GE healthcare) was used to estimate molecular weights.

A monkey podoplanin cDNA region encoding amino acids 76 to 89 (226–267 bp) was tandemly connected 21 times in a pGEX-6P-3 vector (GE Healthcare), replicated in BL21 (DE3) E. coli as the GST-tagged monkey podoplanin peptide (76–89 aa), and purified using glutathione sepharose (GE Healthcare). Six-week-old female BALB/c mice were immunized by neck and ventral subcutaneous injections of the GST-tagged peptide with Titer MAX Gold adjuvant (Titer MAX, Norcross, GA, USA). Cell fusion was performed by the procedure described previously [14 (link)]. Positive clones were subcloned three times by limiting dilution, and some were purified from ascites as described previously [48 (link)]. For the acute toxicity test with cynomolgus monkeys, large-scale purification of control IgG1 and 2F7 antibody was conducted. Six-week-old female BALB/c-nu/nu mice were injected intraperitoneally with 2F7-secreting hybridomas or control IgG1-secreting hybridomas (DIG104.10H.1) suspended in Hanks’ Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS, Gibco). Ascitic fluid was collected for purification of the antibody by salting out with ammonium sulfate and performing affinity column chromatography with protein G using AKTA Explorer 10S (GE Healthcare). The IgG isotype was determined with a Mouse Monoclonal Antibody Isotyping Test Kit (AbD Serotec, Oxford, UK).

LUBAC Isolation from Liver Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Liver sections were lysed in lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 1 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, and 1 mM PMSF, protease inhibitor cocktail). Since the LUBAC is located in the cytosolic fraction, as reported previously, detergent is not required [14 (link)]. After adding an equal volume of detergent-free lysis buffer containing 300 mM NaCl, lysates were centrifuged at 100,000 g for 30 min. The supernatants were then applied to gel filtration using a Superdex 200 10/300 GL (GE Healthcare) and fractionated at 1 mL/min in elution buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5 and 150 mM NaCl using an AKTA explorer 10S (GE Healthcare). The collected samples were subjected to immunoblotting analysis.

To separate macro TSH from free TSH in the serum samples, gel filtration chromatography was performed using a Low/High Molecular Weight Kit (GE Healthcare, Japan). Pooled serum samples from 10 participants were passed through a 0.22 μm PES syringe filter (Starna Scientific, UK), then injected into a Superdex 200HR10/30 (GE Healthcare), which was equilibrated with 0.05 M of phosphate buffer in 0.15 M of NaCl solution adjusted to pH 7.0 and run at a flow-rate of 0.5 ml/minute on an AKTA Explorer 10 s (GE Healthcare). Chromatography was monitored using Prime View UNICON 5.31 software.

Recombinant proteins, mouse Rif1 N206 aa or Rif1 UCRIII (the upstream segments of C-terminal conserved region III (24 (link)); 1673–1851 aa), were expressed in ER2566 cells (New England Biolabs) transformed with pGEX-4T1-N206 or pGEX-4T1-UCRIII by induction with 0.1 mM IPTG at 30 °C for 3 h. The proteins were solubilized by sonication of cells using Sonifier 250D (Branson) on ice in PBS supplemented with 1% Triton X-100, protease inhibitors (1 μg/ml pepstatin A, 1.5 μg/ml aprotinin, 1 μg/ml leupeptin (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.4 mM Pefabloc SC (Roche)), and 5 mM DTT. After removal of insoluble materials by centrifugation at 60,000g for 20 min at 4 °C, GST-fused proteins were purified using glutathione Sepharose 4B (GE Healthcare). For generation of polyclonal antibodies, 0.3 mg of purified proteins was used to immunize a rabbit each time for total five times, and two animals for each antibody were used (Bio Regenerations). The antibodies were affinity-purified by AKTA Explorer 10S (GE Healthcare) using recombinant antigen protein-conjugated HiTrap NHS-activated HP columns following manufacturer’s instructions and validated the specificities. Other antibodies used in this study are listed in Table S2.

Purification of Elastin-Like Polypeptides

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The protocol followed is similar to the one described in 2.4.3, with the difference that ammonium sulfate was used for the precipitation of the ELPs during the ITC cycles and DMSO was employed to aid their resolubilization. In particular, the ELP-containing supernatant was supplemented with 10% v/v saturated ammonium sulfate solution to aggregate the ELPs at room temperature. The first hot spin was conducted by centrifugation at 10,000 rpm, 15 min, 25 °C, and the ELP pellets were resolubilized in DMSO after a freeze–thaw cycle. The mixture was diluted with cold 15 mM phosphate 15 mM NaCl buffer pH 7.4 (final content of DMSO 10% v/v) before proceeding to the first cold spin at 15,000 rpm, 10 min, 4 °C. The ITC cycles were repeated another 3 times without the use of DMSO. For each cold spin, the volume of buffer to resolubilize the ELPs was reduced to half, and thus for every hot spin the volume of ammonium sulfate was also reduced to half. The supernatant isolated after cold spin 4 was desalted on a HiPrep 26/10 (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) with an AKTA Explorer 10 (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) at 1 mL/min ultrapure water.

Wild-type and mutant AHAIR were purified from BL21/pET28a-ilvC and BL21/pET28a-ilvCTM, and all purification steps were performed at 4 °C. Cultivated cells were disrupted by sonication and centrifuged to remove cell debris. Then, extract was purified by a protein purifier (AKTA Explorer 10, GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden). Purified wild-type AHAIR and mutant AHAIR were used to perform enzyme activity for kinetic analysis. The decrease of NAD(P)H was measured at 340 nm. The α-acetolactate and NAD(P)H concentrations were from 0 to 20 mmol L−1 and 0 to 1 mmol L−1, respectively.

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.
