SEC-MALS Analysis of LicB Protein

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SEC–multiangle light scattering (MALS) measurements of LicB were performed at 18°C in 10 mM tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 150 NaCl, and 0.012% LMNG using a GE Healthcare Superdex 200 Increase 10/300 GL column on an Agilent 1260 high-performance liquid chromatography. The column was equilibrated overnight for a stable baseline before data collection. Monitoring of the elution was carried out with a multiwavelength absorbance detector at 280 and 254 nm, a Wyatt Heleos II 8+ MALS detector, and a Wyatt Optilab rEX differential refractive index detector. Interdetector delay volumes, light scattering detector normalization, and broadening corrections were calibrated using a bovine serum albumin solution (2 mg/ml; ThermoPierce) and standard protocols in ASTRA 6 (Wyatt Technologies). Weight-averaged molar mass, elution concentration, and mass distribution of the samples were calculated using the ASTRA 6 software (Wyatt Technologies). The specific refractive index increment for the detergent LMNG was assumed to be 0.146 mg/ml according to experimental data.

The size exclusion chromatography was carried out using a WATERS E2695 chromatograph (Waters, Waters Corporation, Milford, MA, USA) equipped with HR-1, HR-3 and HR-4 columns (500–500,000 g·mol−1) and coupled with a differential refractometer (Optilab®-T-rEX, Wyatt Technology, Santa Barbara, CA, USA). The system is calibrated using a standard polystyrene solution. 15 mg of sample was dissolved in 3 mL of THF (n = 6). 1mL of toluene per liter of THF was added. Subsequently, these test solutions were filtered through a PTFE membrane with a pore diameter of 0.45 μm and then transferred to glass vials. Data processing was carried out using Astra 6 software (Astra 6, Wyatt Technology, USA).

The data analyses used ASTRA 6.0 software (Wyatt Technology). The protein absolute molecular mass was calculated in ASTRA 6.0 (Wyatt Technology) assuming a dn/dc value of 0.185 ml g−1 and a theoretical ultraviolet extinction coefficient value of 1.0 ml mg−1 cm−1.

SEC-MALS Analysis of DmpR Oligomerization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MALS analysis was performed using a WTC-050S5 SEC column with an in-line Dawn Helios II system and an Optilab T-rEX differential refractometer (Wyatt). DmpR (10 µM), phenol (1 mM) and/or ATP/ATPγS (3 mM) were incubated at 25 °C for 20 min in PBS buffer. After centrifugation, the supernatant was applied to a SEC-MALS system with PBS elution buffer containing 0.5 mM phenol. The data were collected and analysed using ASTRA 6 (Wyatt). Gradient gels (4–16%) were used for BN-PAGE (Novex). To identify factors that might influence the oligomer state of DmpR, 20 µM DmpR, was incubated for 20 min at 25 °C in the presence or absence of 1 mM phenol, 5 mM MgCl2 and/or 3 mM ATP, respectively. To determine change of DmpR tetramer by ATP analogue or UAS containing DNA, 3 mM ATP analogue (AMP-PNP/ATPγS), 10 nM DNaseI (NEB) or 20 µM cognate DNA with the UAS sites were co-incubated with DmpR for 20 minutes prior to BN-PAGE analysis.

SEC-MALS was performed according to previously established methods [25 (link)]. Briefly, Pf4r, Pf4r* and Pf6r samples (prepared in 20 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 300 mM NaCl, glycerol 10% (v/v), 2mM TCEP) were gel-filtrated on a Superdex 75 5/150 gel filtration column (GE Healthcare, IL, USA) equilibrated with PBS. The chromatography system was connected in-line to a miniDAWN light scattering unit (Wyatt Technology, CA, USA) and an Optilab T-rEX differential refractive index detector (Wyatt Technology, CA, USA). Loading volumes were 50 μL with protein concentrations of 20 mg/mL. Data were analysed in Astra 6 (Wyatt Technology, CA, USA).

Proteins were mixed at the indicated ratios and equilibrated in 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 1 mM Dithiothreitol (DTT) and 10% glycerol (v/v) buffer supplemented with 1 mM adenosine diphosphate (ADP), ATP or AMPPNP for 3 h at room temperature. A total of 100 μl of these mixtures (containing 50–150 μg of total protein) were loaded onto either a Superose 6 HR10/30 column, or a Superdex 200 HR10/30 column (GE), equilibrated with the same buffer lacking glycerol and nucleotides. The separation was conducted at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min. Presence of DTT or Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) as reductants did not influence the results. Size exclusion chromatography and multi-angle light scattering (SEC-MALS) analysis was performed at 22°C using a Shimadzu (Kyoto, Japan) chromatography system, connected in-line to a Heleos8+ multi angle light scattering detector and an Optilab T-rEX refractive index (RI) detector (Wyatt Technologies, Goleta, CA, USA).

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.
