Conformational dynamics of Hsp90 by FRET

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The conformational change rate of Hsp90 was measured by a FRET-based assay[41 (link)]. Briefly, D61C or E329C mutation was introduced into Hsc82 for labeling with Alex Fluor 647 or Alex Fluor 555 (Life Technologies) respectively. Labeled Hsp90 populations were mixed to produce Hsp90 heterodimers. The conformational change of Hsp90 was initiated by adding AMP-PNP (1 mM) in the presence of compounds. The fluorescence from different dyes was monitored on a microplate spectrophotometer with excitation/emission wavelength as follows: Ex525/Em568 (AF555), Ex525/Em668 (AF647). The assay was carried out at room temperature in the same buffer as Hsp90 ATPase assay.

Flies were grown at 25°C and yeasted for 2 days before dissection. Ovaries were dissected from adult females at room temperature in Schneider's medium (Sigma Aldrich). The muscle sheath that surround ovarioles was removed at this moment. After that, fixation was performed incubating egg chambers for 20 min with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS (ChemCruz). Samples were permeabilized using PBT (phosphate-buffered saline+1% TritonX100). For actin labelling, fixed ovaries were incubated with Rhodamine Phalloidin (Molecular Probes, 1:40) for 40 min. The following primary antibodies were used: chicken anti-GFP (1/500, Abcam), anti-cDcp1 (1/100, Cell Signaling Technology) and mouse anti-Dlg (1/50, DHSB, Iowa). Fluorescence-conjugated antibodies used were Alexa Fluor 488 and Alex Fluor 647 (Life Technologies). Samples were mounted in Vectashield (Vector Laboratories) and imaged on a Leica SP5 MP-AOBS.

Cells were plated in 96-well plates coated with poly-d-lysine and transfected with Lipofectamine 3,000 for 24 h according to the protocol of the manufacturer. Cells initially were treated with harringtonine (2 μg/mL) or harringtonine and emetine (200 mM) for various durations of time, followed by treatment with puromycin at 5 μg/mL for 10 min. Cells then were washed with PBS and fixed for 10 min with 4% paraformaldehyde.

Cells were washed with PBS with 0.1% Tween-20 and then incubated with an anti-mouse secondary antibody conjugated to Alex Fluor 647 (Invitrogen). After washing, the cells were incubated with DAPI (10 ng/mL) (Invitrogen) in PBS for 10 min. Fluorescence measurements were made on a SpectraMax ID3 (Molecular Devices).

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.
