Protein was extracted from intestinal mucosa dissected from mouse intestine (20–50 µg protein per lane) or total lysates from cells (106/well, 6-well plates) from in vitro experiments. Tissue or cell lysates were extracted in T-Per or M-Per (Thermo Fisher Scientific), respectively, supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Roche, St. Louis, MO). Protein was quantified by immunoblot analysis employing antibodies to: GFP (cat. #13970, 1:1000), Axin2 (cat. #32197, 1:1000), c-Myc (cat. #32072, 1:1000) from Abcam; GAPDH (cat. #2118, 1:5000), β-catenin (cat. #8480, 1:1000), human APC (cat. #2504, 1:1000), TCF4 (cat. #2569, 1:1000), β-actin (cat. #4967, 1:3000), phosphorylated VASP-ser239 (cat. #3114, 1:1000) from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA); mouse APC (cat. #896, 1:1000) from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, TX); GUCA2A (cat. # HPA018215, 1:100) from Sigma or guanylin antisera (#2538, 1:100);56 (link) and GUCY2C (1:500).34 (link) Immunoblot images were captured on the BioRad ChemiDoc MP imaging station and bands were quantified by densitometry normalized to that of GAPDH or β-actin using ImageJ. Average relative intensity reflects at least two independent experiments each with at least three biological replicates.

Purification and Characterization of CbpA Variants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CbpAs used in this study were CbpA2, CbpA3 and variants thereof, CbpA5, and CbpA6. CbpAs2,3,5,6 were expressed and purified as previously published (16 ) (see Supplemental Text for details). Protein purity was confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) analysis (Fig. S10A–E), visualized with Coomassie blue staining using a ChemiDoc MP Imaging Station (Bio-Rad). Concentrations of CbpAs and variants thereof were determined using absorbance readings at 280 nm, employing extinction coefficients and molecular weights calculated with Expasy (Table S4). The concentration of CbpA396–283 was estimated with a Bradford assay (Amresco), using bovine serum albumin as a calibration standard.

Native PAGE conditions were prepared by casting 10×10 cm 10% PAGE gels using 30% acrylamide/bis-acrylamide (29:1) solution (Sigma-Aldrich A3574), 10% ammonium persulfate, tetramethylethylenediamine, and the Native PAGE buffer. The final concentration of the native PAGE buffer in 10% PAGE gel was 40 mM K-HEPES (pH 7.5), 100 mM KCl and 5 mM MgCl2. After polymerization, the samples were run at 40 V for 2 h in a water-cooled PAGE chamber to keep the buffer temperature at ~25°2. For staining, gels were incubated in the native PAGE buffer containing 10 μM DFHO for 15 min. DFHO-stained gels were analyzed on a ChemiDoc MP imaging station (Bio-Rad) at 470/30 nm excitation and 530/28 nm emission (green channel) and 530/28 nm excitation and 605/50 nm emission (red channel). Each presented image is an overlay of both scans. Next, counterstaining with SYBR Gold (ThermoFisher S11494) 1:10,000 diluted in the native PAGE buffer was performed for 15 min followed by gel imaging to detect all RNA species in each lane. SYBR Gold-stained bands were imaged using UV excitation (302 nm) and 590/110 nm emission on the ChemiDoc MP imaging station.

After day 19 (human iPSC-derived macrophages), day 40 (human iPSC-derived microglia), or day 7 (BMDM) of differentiation, cells were washed with ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline and then lysed in 50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 150 mM Nacl, 1% TX-100, 0.5% deoxycholate, and 0.1% SDS) containing protease inhibitor and phosphatase inhibitor cocktails (Roche cOmplete and PhosSTOP) and spun at 13,000 g for 5 min. The supernatant was collected and incubated at 95 °C for 3 min in SDS sample buffer before separation by SDS–PAGE on 4 to 15% gradient Mini-PROTEAN TGX precast polyacrylamide gels and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Bio-Rad, Hercules CA). Membranes were next blocked with 5% milk in TBS with 0.1% Tween 20 and incubated with primary antibodies and then HRP-coupled secondary antibodies in 5% milk or bovine serum albumin in TBS with 0.1% Tween 20. Chemiluminescence detection was performed on a Chemidoc MP imaging station (Bio-Rad), and FIJI/ImageJ was used to quantify band intensities (80 (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.
