The new GLP-1R constructs (M9, M8, M6) containing the same expression cassette as M10 were purified and crystallized as previously described (Song et al., 2017 ▸ ). Briefly, the Bac-to-Bac Baculovirus System (Invitrogen) in Spodoptera frugiperda cells was used for expression. Cells were infected at a density of 2–3 × 106 cells ml−1, grown at 27°C, and harvested 48 h after infection. After two washes of low-salt buffer and three washes of high-salt buffer, the cell membrane was solubilized in the presence of 200 µM ligand (PF-06372222), 2 mg ml−1 iodo­acetamide and (EDTA)-free protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche). 1.0%(w/v) DDM (n-do­decyl-β-d-malto­pyran­oside, Affymetrix) and 0.2%(w/v) CHS (cholesteryl hemisuccinate, Sigma-Aldrich) were used for the solubilization, and the supernatant was then collected and incubated with TALON IMAC resin (Clontech, Palo Alto, USA) at 4°C, overnight. After washing, the resin was resuspended and treated with tobacco etch virus protease (TEV), and the receptor protein was harvested in the flow through with buffer [25 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 500 mM NaCl, 5%(v/v) glycerol, 0.01%(w/v) DDM, 0.002%(w/v) CHS, 30 mM imidazole and 100 µM PF-06372222].

HDAC activity was measured using a fluorescent assay kit (Active Motif, Cat# 56200) according to the manufacturer’s instruction. Recombinant HDAC1 and HDAC3 proteins were purchased from Enzo Life Sciences (cat# BML-SE456–0050, BML-SE507–0050). Recombinant CaMKII protein was generated using the Bac-to-Bac baculovirus system (Invitrogen) and purified on a calmodulin-agarose column as described previously [3 (link)]. In vitro phosphorylation of HDAC1 or HDAC3 was carried out by incubation of recombinant HDAC1 or HDAC3 protein (125ng) with CaMKII (125, 250, 500ng) in buffer mixture containing 50mM HEPES, MgAC2 10mM, CaCl2 0.5mM, calmodulin 1μM, and ATP 0.4mM, at 30°C for 1 hour. CaMKII alone, HDAC inhibitor Trichostatin A (TSA) were used as negative controls.
Mass spectrometry to evaluate the phosphorylation sites of HDACs by CaMKII was performed at the Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Core of Johns Hopkins University and the Biomedical Mass Spectrometry Center of University of Pittsburgh.

The SARS-CoV-2 RBD (residues Arg319–Phe541) and the N-terminal peptidase domain of human ACE2 (residues Ser19–Asp615) were expressed using the Bac-to-Bac baculovirus system (Invitrogen) as described previously[21 (link)]. ACE2-lg, a recombinant Fc fusion protein of soluble human ACE2 (residues Gln18-Ser740), was expressed in 293F cells and purified using protein A affinity chromatography as described in our previous study[36 (link)]. The cDNA of extracellular domain (ECD) (1–1208 aa) of WT or mutant spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2 were cloned into the pCAG vector with a C-terminal T4 fibritin trimerization motif followed by a 8✕his tag and two strep tag. The recombinant protein was overexpressed using the HEK293F mammalian cells 5 days after transfection.

The full-length D. melanogaster Dark complementary DNA was subcloned into vector pFastBac1 (Invitrogen) with a C-terminal 10xHis tag. The recombinant Dark was expressed using the Bac-to-Bac baculovirus system (Invitrogen). Bacmid DNAs were generated in DH10Bac cells, and the resulting baculoviruses were generated and amplified in Sf9 insect cells (Invitrogen).

Forty-eight hours after viral infection, the cells were collected and homogenized in a buffer containing 25 mM Tris (pH 8.0) and 150 mM NaCl. The cells were disrupted by 60 strokes on ice using a Dounce homogenizer. After high-speed centrifugation at 14,000 rpm for 60 min, the supernatant was harvested. The Dark protein was purified to homogeneity by nickel affinity chromatography (Ni-NTA, Qiagen) and anion exchange chromatography (Source-15Q, GE Healthcare).
The full-length Dronc (residues 1–450), Dronc-CARD (residues 1–130), and relevant mutants were subcloned into pET-21b with a C-terminal 8xHis tag. All mutants were generated using a standard PCR-based strategy and verified by plasmid sequencing.

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.
