Fluorescently Tagged Podosome Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human myo1e and myo1f constructs tagged with EGFP have been previously described (Barger et al., 2019 (link)). mEmerald-Lifeact was a gift from Michael Davidson (Addgene #54148). Cofilin-EGFP was a gift from James Bamburg (Addgene #50859). Chicken regulatory light chain (RLC) tagged with EGFP was a gift from Klaus Hahn. WASP tagged with myc was a gift from Dianne Cox, and was subcloned into a pUB-Halo-C1 vector. CMV-GFP-NMHCII-A was a gift from Robert Adelstein (Addgene #11347). ARP3-mCherry (Addgene #27682) and mCherry-cortactin (Addgene #27676) were gifts from Christien Merrifield that were subcloned into EGFP-C1 and mEmerald-C1, respectively. Chicken paxillin was a gift from Chris Turner, which was subcloned into mScarlet-i-C1. Chicken vinculin was a gift from Kenneth Yamada (Addgene #50513) and subcloned into pUB-mEmerald-C1. Immunohistochemical staining to determine localization of select podosome-related proteins in relation to the actin teeth did not produce good results, which may be due to the adhesive and porous nature of the IgG-functionalized DAAMPs. As an alternative, we transfected the RAW macrophages with fluorescently tagged proteins. All transfections were accomplished by electroporation (Neon) using the manufacturer’s instructions.

Establishing Stable Cell Lines with GFP-Rab19 and GFP-MYH9

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pLVX-GFP-Rab19 lentiviral transfer plasmid used to establish the GFP–Rab19 stable cell lines was previously described (Jewett et al., 2021 (link)). A pLVX-GFP-MYH9 transfer plasmid was cloned by ligating a NdeI/SalI-digested GFP-MYH9 cassette from CMV-GFP-NMHC II-A (Addgene plasmid #11347, deposited by Robert Adelstein) into NdeI/XhoI-digested pLVX-Puro vector. For lentiviral vector production, the transfer plasmid was co-transfected with the packaging plasmid pΔ8.9 and pseudotyping plasmid pVSV-G into HEK293T cells.
The pGEX-KG-Rab19 plasmid, encoding GST-tagged Rab19 for expression in E. coli for recombinant protein production, was previously described (Jewett et al., 2021 (link)). The HA-Vps3 expression plasmid was a gift from Dr Jacques Neefjes (Cell & Chemical Biology, LUMC, The Netherlands), and the Vps8–GFP expression plasmid was a gift from Dr Judith Klumperman (Cell Biology, UMC Utrecht, The Netherlands).

Stable Transfection of Cell Lines

For stable transfections, HN30 and HN31 cells were cultured in 6-well plates until they reached 70-80% confluency. The cells were transfected with CMV-GFP-NMHC II-A (Addgene plasmid # 11347) using 6 μg of using NanoJuice Transfection Reagent in serum-free medium (Novagen) according to the manufacturer's protocol [19 (link)]. HN30 and HN31 cells were cultured for 7-14 days in 400 μg/ml of geneticin before being sorted for selection of stable clones.

Plasmid Transfections and CRISPR Modifications

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Transfections were carried out using Lipofectamine 2000 (ThermoFisher Scientific #11668027) according to manufacturer’s instructions. The cells were transfected 48 hr prior to the experiment. CMV-GFP-NMHC IIA (Addgene #11347) and CMV-GFP-NMHC IIB (Addgene #11348) were gifts from Robert Adelstein (Wei and Adelstein, 2000 (link)). NMHC IIB-mApple was a gift from Michael Davidson (Addgene #54931). pSPCas9(BB)−2A-Puro (PX459) V2.0 (Addgene #62988) and pX335-U6-Chimeric_BB-CBh-hSpCas9n(D10A) (Addgene #42335) were gifts from Feng Zhang. Guide sequences for the generation of NMHC II depleted cells or GFP knock-in cells were introduced by digesting the plasmids with BbsI and subsequent ligation (Ran et al., 2013 (link)). pMK-RQ-MYH9 and pMK-RQ-MYH10 donor plasmids for homology directed repair were constructed by flanking the coding sequence of eGFP with 800 bp homology arms upstream and downstream of the double strand break near the start codon of MYH9 or MYH10 exon two and the plasmids were synthesized by GeneArt (ThermoFisher Scientific).

Transfection of Myh9 and Myh10 Plasmids

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Expression plasmids that encode human Myh9, CMV-GFP-NMHC II-A (Addgene plasmid 11,347) or pTRE-GFP-NMHC II-A (Addgene plasmid 10,844), and its control isoform Myh10, NMHC II-B (Addgene plasmid 11,348 and Addgene plasmid 10,845), were obtained from Dr. Robert Adelstein through Addgene, a nonprofit plasmid repository (http://www.addgene.org/) [35 (link),36 (link)]. Expression plasmids were transfected into RAW 264.7 cells using Lipofectamine® LTX Reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. In some cases, gene expression was induced by addition of Doxycycline (1 μg/ml) for the expression plasmids utilizing the Tet-on system (pTRE-GFP-NMHC II-A).

Xenopus laevis Lmo7 cDNA clone was obtained from Dharmacon. Full-length and truncated forms of Lmo7 were PCR amplified and cloned into a pCS107-Flag, -HA or -GFP expression vector using standard protocols. Primers used for the amplification are in Supplemental Table 1. pCS2-RFP-HA-Wtip was previously described (Chu et al., 2018) . pCS2-GFP-NMIIA and pCS2-GFP-NMIIB were subcloned from CMV-GFP-NMHC II-A, CMV-GFP-NMHC II-B (Addgene plasmids # 11347, 11348) (Wei and Adelstein, 2000) . pCS2-GFP-a-actinin 4 was constructed from pCS2-hiActTS-GR (a gift of Tatsuo Michiue). pCS2-ROK-C and pCS2-Mypt1CA were from Florence Marlow (Marlow et al., 2002) and David Kimelman (Weiser et al., 2009) , respectively.

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.
