The temperature-induced unfolding of lymphostatin was followed using the environmentally sensitive dye SYPRO Orange (Invitrogen). SYPRO Orange shows an increase in fluorescence correlated with the exposure of hydrophobic residues upon unfolding.44 (link), 45 (link) The fluorescence of WT rLifA and rLifAC1480A (both 0.1 µM) in 5 × SYPRO Orange was measured between 15 and 70 °C at 0.5 °C increments every 30 s (Bio-Rad IQ5 Multicolor Real-Time PCR Detection System). The proteins were exchanged into Assay Buffer prior to analysis using a HiTrap desalt column (GE Healthcare) at a flow rate of 4 mL/min. Relative fluorescence units (RFU) for each sample were plotted against temperature and the unfolding transition temperature (Tm) of each protein was calculated from the steepest part of the melting curve. Experiments were repeated in triplicate.

200 ng/μL of purified S protein and 5× SYPRO orange (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were added into 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl in optically clear tubes. SYPRO orange fluorescence intensity in relative fluorescence units (RFU) was measured over temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 95 °C using a CFX Connect Real-Time PCR Detection System (Bio-Rad). Melting temperature (Tm) was calculated as the temperature at which the first derivative of fluorescence intensity with respect to temperature, d(RFU)dT , was minimum.

Samples of each KaiC variant were freshly prepared in KaiC buffer and mixed with KaiA to generate a final concentration of 1.5 μM KaiA and 3.4 μM KaiC. Samples were incubated at 30 °C for 24 h, at which point 50 μl was removed and quenched with 10 μl of 6× SDS before incubating at 95 °C for 5 min.
Phos-Tag acrylamide gels were prepared with a resolving gel consisting of 10% (w/v) acrylamide (29:1 acrylamide:bis-acrylamide) containing Tris-HCl pH 8.8 supplemented with 50 μM Phos-tag reagent and 100 μM Mn2+. Gels were run at constant 25 mA with a 165 V limit for 35 min before loading any samples into the gel. Samples were loaded and run at room temperature with the same mA and voltage parameters as stated above for 170–190 min. Gels were stained using SYPRO Orange following the Bio-Rad protocol and density was analyzed using ImageJ software63 (link). Error was estimated as the standard deviation from n = 3 replicate measurements analyzed separately.

Measuring Thermal Stability of Protein Variants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The melting temperatures of DJ-1 variants were determined using the differential scanning fluorimetry assay (Pantoliano et al. 2001 (link)). Proteins were diluted to 1–5 mg ml−1 in storage buffer (25 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 100 mM KCl, 2 mM DTT). Sypro Orange (Life Technologies, Invitrogen) was diluted to 50, 100, 250, 500× in storage buffer and added to the samples. Samples were heated from 20–95°C at a rate of 2°C min−1 while the fluorescence emission of Sypro Orange was monitored at 575 nm in 8-strip PCR tubes with optically clear caps (Bio-Rad) in a Bio-Rad iCyclerQ real-time PCR. The data were plotted as the first derivative of fluorescence as a function of temperature, where the maximum of this function was taken as the melting temperature (Tm).

Thermal Stability Analysis of OTC Variants

Melting temperatures of WT OTC and variants were determined with a Bio-Rad C1000 Touch Thermal Cycler (CFX96 Real-Time System) and Bio-Rad CFX Manager 3.1.1517.0823 software that measures fluorescence due to Sypro Orange binding to hydrophobic regions of the protein as the temperature is increased from 4°C to 100°C in 0.2°C increments with a 10-sec dwell time [47 (link), 48 (link)]. Samples of wild-type OTC and variants, analyzed in triplicate, were prepared in 96-well plates containing 50 mM HEPES, pH 8, 200 mM NaCl, 2 mM DTT, 10x Sypro Orange (Invitrogen) and 10 μM enzyme alone, enzyme with 1 mM carbamoyl phosphate, enzyme with 10 mM ornithine or enzyme with 10 mM citrulline. Melting temperatures (Tm) were obtained from the software as the highest peak of a first derivative plot of the negative rate change in relative fluorescence (RFU) vs. temperature (T).

Thermofluorimetric (Thermal shift) assays for the evaluation of the hNV-RdRp melting temperature (Tm) in the absence/presence of the inhibitors, were conducted in a MiniOpticon Real Time PCR Detection System (Bio-Rad), using the fluorescent dye Sypro Orange.

In control samples the inhibitors were replaced by water. The sample plates were heated from 20 to 90°C with a heating rate of 0.2 °C/min. Fluorescence intensities were measured within excitation/emission ranges of 470–505 nm and 540–700 nm, respectively.

Thermal melts were conducted in triplicate for each condition by heating from 25 to 95 °C in 1 °C increments for 2 min and measuring fluorescence at each temperature step. Fluorescence data were blank-subtracted, normalized to the maximum signal for each individual melt, and Boltzmann Sigmoid analysis was conducted using GraphPad Prism to determine the melting temperature (Tm) from two independent experiments.

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.
