Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A549 and HeLa cells stably expressing a
GCaMP6s-3xNLS-P2A-mBeRFP-3xNLS reporter transgene were seeded into the wells
of a black 96-well glass bottom plate (Cellvis; #P96–1.5H-N) at a
density of 2 × 104 cells per well 24 hrs before imaging.
Before the experiment, cells were washed 2 times with L-15 medium and
equilibrated to 50 µL of L-15 medium for 30 min at RT. Images were
acquired every 15 sec from two different fields of view for a period of 22
min. During the experiment, 20 µM of ATP (Sigma; #A26209),
ATPγS (Tocris; #4080), mipATP, AMP-PNP (Sigma; #A2647) or vehicle was
added in 50 µL of L-15 medium to the well prior to the 2-min
timepoint. (final concentration of 10 µM nucleotide).
Images were captured at RT (~26°C) using NIS-Elements (Nikon)
on an Eclipse Ti microscope (Nikon) equipped with a 20× Plan
Apochromat NA 0.75 air objective lens, a Clara CCD camera (Andor), and a
motorized stage. GCaMP6s and mBeRFP fluorescence were excited with a LED
light source (Lumencor) using a 475/28 bandpass filter and a 470/40
excitation filter in conjunction with a multispectral dichroic (59022 bs,
Chroma). GCaMP6s emission was acquired using a 525/50 filter (Chroma) and
mBeRFP emission was acquired using a 632/60 emission filter (Chroma).

Isolated membrane proteins were diluted to 1–2 mg/mL in
binding buffer (BB) (150 mM NaCl, 20 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 2 mM CaCl2,
2 mM MgCl2, and EDTA-free protease inhibitor cocktail) and then
incubated with 1–50 µM of mipATP in a 96-well plate for
25–30 min at 4°C in the dark. For competition experiments,
isolated membranes were preincubated with the indicated competitor compound
(ATP, Sigma #A26209; ATPγS, Tocris #4080; ADP, Sigma #A2754; AMP,
Sigma #A1752; Adenosine, Sigma #A9251; GTP, Sigma #G8877; CTP, Sigma #C1506;
UTP, Sigma #U6750; molybdate, Sigma #243655) for 10 min at 4°C in the
dark prior to the addition of mipATP. Plates containing the samples were
then placed on ice and UV-irradiated (365 nm) (Analytik Jena US;
#95–0045-04) for 15 min at a distance of 2 cm from the light source.
Samples not exposed to UV were placed on a separate 96-well plate that was
left in the dark at 4°C for 15 minutes instead of UV-irradiated.
Next, membranes were collected and resuspended in 5 volumes of ice-cold BB
and centrifuged at 230,000 × g for 10 min at
4°C. Supernatant was discarded, and the pellets were resuspended in
BB and re-pelleted by centrifugation. Membrane pellets were snap frozen with
liquid nitrogen or solubilized in SDS lysis buffer (4% SDS, 150 mM NaCl, 50
mM triethanolamine (TEA) pH 7.4, EDTA-free protease inhibitor cocktail) for
downstream click chemistry reactions.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For ABCA7 reconstituted in nanodiscs comprising 80:20 w:w BPL/cholesterol and PE/cholesterol, SEC purified samples were mixed with 5 mM ATPγS (TOCRIS) and 5 mM MgCl2 for 20 min at room temperature and concentrated to 0.5–1.0 mg ml−1. ABCA7EQ‐ATP nanodisc samples were prepared similarly except that the SEC buffer also contained 2 mM ATP and 10 mM MgCl2. For ABCA7DIGITONIN, SEC purified samples were concentrated to between 2 and 5 mg ml−1. 4 μl samples were applied to glow discharged Quantifoil R1.2/1.3 grids (Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatfield, PA, USA) using a Vitrobot Mark IV (Thermo Fisher Scientific) with a 4 s blotting time and 0 blotting force under > 90% humidity at 4°C, then plunge frozen into liquid ethane. For nanodisc reconstituted ABCA7EQ‐ATP and ABCA7DIGITONIN, two sample droplets were applied to glow discharged grids to obtain more particles per hole.

Modulating Extracellular ATP in Cell Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two methods were used to manipulate extracellular ATP: 1) inhibition of ectonucleotidases with ARL67156 and 2) ATP hydrolysis with apyrase. Cells were plated in 96-well plates at a density of 30,000 cells/well and allowed to adhere overnight. Cells were incubated with 200 µM ARL67156 for 1 h, after which 0.5 µM of ATP was added to the well. Extracellular ATP was hydrolyzed by adding 5 U of apyrase (A7646; Sigma-Aldrich) to the well before addition of 5 µM ATP or ATPγS (4080; Tocris). In the wounding device, 5 U of apyrase was added to the inlet port just before sealing off of the second port to ensure that the apyrase stayed in the cell chamber. Cells were imaged in FluoBrite DMEM (A1896701; ThermoFisher) with the components necessary for MCF-10A assay medium added.

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.
