Asp-N Digestion of Flagellin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For Asp-N digestion, 3 µg of flagellin was reconstituted in 17 µL of 2 M urea containing 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate, and digested by 0.08 µg of Asp-N (Promega) at 37 °C for overnight. The digestion was stopped by adding 1/20 volume of 20% TFA, and digested peptides were desalted using a GL-Tip SDB (GL Science) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After vacuum concentration, the samples were dissolved in 20 µL of 2% acetonitrile (containing 0.1% TFA) and 1.5-µL aliquots were analyzed by nano-LC-MS/MS.

Quantitative SEPT2 Proteomic Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE. After aligning of anti-SEPT2 western blot, gel bands corresponding to full length SEPT2 and C-terminal SEPT2 fragment were excised and digested using trypsin then propionic anhydride labeling followed by digestion by either trypsin or Asp-N (Promega). Extracted peptides were analyzed by LC-MS/MS (EasyLC 1200 coupled to Fusion Lumos, Thermo Scientific), separated by reversed phase with a gradient increasing from 1% B to 40% B in 40 min. MS data were queried against Uniprots Human database (March 2016) using no enzymatic (Asp-N experiment) or semi-tryptic constraints using Proteome Discoverer ver1.4 (Thermo Fisher)/Mascot 2.4 (Matrix Science). Oxidation of methionine was allowed. For samples treated with propionic anhydride, propionylation of N-termini and lysine were allowed as variable modifications. Matched peptides were filtered using < 5% FDR (Percolator 2) and mass accuracy < 5 ppm in addition to manual validation of tandem spectra. Extracted areas of Septin-2 peptides obtained by the three different digestion strategies for intact SEPT2 and C-terminal SEPT2 were summed per residue and plotted as a function of SEPT2 using PepEx 3, after normalization to the signal of the most C-terminal residues.

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.
