Parasites were cultured using standard methods (56 (link)) in flasks gassed with a mixture of 90% N2, 5% CO2, and 5% O2 (Airgas; catalog no. Z03NI9022000033). Normal culture medium consisted of RPMI 1640 with l-glutamine and 25 mM HEPES (Corning; catalog no. 10-041-CV), with 5.0 g/liter Albumax II lipid-rich bovine serum albumin (BSA; Thermo Fisher Scientific; catalog no. 11021029), 3.7 mM hypoxanthine, and 50 μg/ml gentamicin. The isoleucine-deficient medium consisted of 10.3 g/liter RPMI 1640 isoleucine (Ile) Drop-out medium (United States BioLogicals; catalog no. R9014), supplemented with 2.0 g/liter NaHCO3, 6.0 g/liter HEPES, 5.0 g/liter Albumax II, 3.7 mM hypoxanthine, and 50 μg/ml gentamicin. The 8 μM isoleucine medium was the same as the isoleucine medium, except that it was supplemented with 8 μM l-isoleucine. The 20% glucose media consisted of 8.4 g/liter of no-glucose RPMI 1640 (Sigma-Aldrich; catalog no. R1383), with 2.0 g/liter NaHCO3, 6.0 g/liter HEPES, 5.0 g/liter Albumax II, 3.7 mM hypoxanthine, 50 μg/ml gentamicin, and 0.4 g/liter glucose. Fosmidomycin was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (catalog no. F8682-5MG), and geranylgeraniol was obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (catalog no. sc-200858).

Samples were analyzed using an Agilent 7820A gas chromatogram coupled to an Agilent 5977B mass spectrometer. The samples were analyzed on an Agilent VF-5HT column (30 m x 0.25 mm x 0.1 μm) using a constant flow of 1 mL/min of helium. The inlet was set at 280°C in split mode with a 10:1 split ratio. The injection volume was set to 1 μL. Oven conditions were as follows: 130°C for 2 min, ramp to 250°C at 8°C/min, ramp to 310°C at 10°C/min and hold for 5 min. The MSD transfer line was set to 250°C, the MS Source was set to 230°C, and the MS Quad was set to 150°C. MS data was collected using Scan mode from 50 −550 m/z with a 4 min solvent delay. Geranylgeraniol was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (CAS 24034–73-9). Forskolin was purchased from Fisher Scientific (CAS 66575–29-9).

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.
