Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fluorescence titrations were performed at 25 °C in buffer A using a JASCO FP-8500 fluorescence spectrometer (JASCO Germany GmbH) as described previously (25 (link)). The excitation wavelength was set to 296 nm to facilitate selective excitation of protein-bound MANT-dADP via FRET from nearby tryptophan residues. The MANT fluorescence signal was monitored at 441 nm. Direct titrations of ClpB NBD1-M variants (at 2 or 20 μm) with MANT-dADP (2–50 μm) were used to determine the binding affinity of MANT-dADP, which was subsequently applied as the reference KD in displacement titrations to determine KD(ADP) or KD(ATP). Here, ClpB NBD1-M variants (at 2 or 20 μm) were incubated with MANT-dADP (15–40 μm) and subsequently titrated with ADP (2.5–300 μm) or ATP (125–20,000 μm). ATP titrations were performed in the presence of 2 mm phosphoenolpyruvate and 0.01 mg/ml pyruvate kinase (Roche Applied Science) as an ATP-regenerating system. The data were corrected for dilution effects and analyzed with a cubic equation for competing ligands using the initial concentrations of protein and MANT-dADP as well as the KD(MANT-dADP) from the direct titration as input values (31 (link)). The program GraFit version 5.0 was used for data fitting.

The ATPase activities of proteins obtained after various purification procedures were determined by NADH-coupled spectrophotometric assays69 (link). 10 μg of DM-purified or nanodisc-reconstituted protein was added to 140 μL of reaction buffer containing 50 mM HEPES–KOH pH 8.0, 60 μg/mL pyruvate kinase (Roche), 16 μg/mL lactate dehydrogenase (Roche), 10 mM phosphoenolpyruvate (Roche), 0.3 mM NADH, 3 mM ATP, 10 mM MgCl2, and 0.17% (w/v) DM in the presence or absence of 250 μM peptide. For proteins reconstituted into nanodiscs, DM was not added to the reaction buffer. For lipid-stimulated ATPase assays, the thin film of lipids was hydrated in 100 μL of buffer containing 50 mM HEPES–KOH pH 8.0 and 10 mM MgCl2 to yield a 10 mM solution. After sonication of the lipid solution for 10 min to decrease its turbidity, the reaction was initiated by adding varying concentrations of lipids to the mixture. ATP hydrolysis activity was monitored at 37 °C for 3 min by measuring the rate of decline of NADH absorbance at 340 nm. To inhibit ATP hydrolysis, the reaction mixture was incubated with 3 mM AMP-PNP or 8 mM NaF/2 mM BeSO4 for 5 min at RT. The kinetic parameters of ATP hydrolysis were calculated by fitting the initial rates of ATP hydrolysis to the Michaelis–Menten equation using PRISM 4.0 (GraphPad software).

All reactions were performed in triplicate at 30 °C for approximately 16hrs. Quantification of synthesized GRFT was determined based on incorporation of 14C-leucine into TCA-precipitable protein using a liquid scintillation counter to measure incorporated radioactivity. Soluble versus insoluble protein yields were determined as previously reported[49 (link)].

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.
