Chips (1 cm by 1.8 cm) cut from the nPD wafer were surface-treated using a Femto Plasma Cleaner (Diener Electronic) for 5 min. Each chip was immediately submerged in 10.9 ml of methanol, 0.58 ml of Milli-Q water, 0.12 ml of APTES (Sigma-Aldrich), and 0.55 μl of acetic acid and left under agitation overnight. Chips were removed from solution, washed with isopropanol and water three times, dried under nitrogen, and incubated at 90°C for 1 hour. Following the wash and drying steps, each chip was again submerged but, this time, in the solution of 2.2 ml of dichloromethane and 8.2 μl of triethylamine containing 11 mg of 4-maleimidobutyryl chloride. After overnight agitation, they were washed with isopropanol and water three times, dried under nitrogen, and incubated with 3.5 ml of 1× PBS containing 25 μg of GluR2 monoclonal antibody (6C4) (Invitrogen, no. 32-0300) overnight. The antibodies were prepared by adding 50 μl of antibody solution (500 μg/ml) to 450 μl of P/E/MES buffer (5 mM EDTA; Thermo Fisher Scientific) and 10% MES (Fisher Bioreagents) in 1× PBS containing 0.2 μg of tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (Thermo Fisher Scientific), incubating under agitation for 1 hour and exchanging the buffer for 1× PBS using an Illustra NAP-5 column (GE Healthcare).

For heterologous expression, genes were N-terminally truncated (PtTPS19/20: Δ42 aa; PtTPS17: Δ65 aa; PtTPS18: full length, Δ92 aa) and cloned into the bacterial expression vector pET200 (Invitrogen). Cultures of E. coli strain BL21(DE3) were grown at 37 °C and 220 rpm, placed at 18 °C and 180 rpm after reaching an OD600 = 0.5, induced with 1 mM IPTG 60 min later, and grown for another 18 h. The cells were collected by centrifugation (10 min, 5000 g), placed in chilled extraction buffer (50 mM Tris HCl, pH = 7.5, 10 % glycerol (v/v), 10 mM MgCl2, 5 mM dithiothreitol, 5 mM sodium ascorbate, 1× Protease inhibitor Mix HP (SERVA,Germany), 25U Benzonase Nuclease (Merck, Germany), and 0.2 mg/mL lysozyme), and disrupted by a 3 × 30 s treatment with a sonicator (Bandelin UW2070, Berlin, Germany; 50 %). Cell fragments were removed by centrifugation at 14,000 g (10 min, 4 °C) and the supernatant was either directly desalted into assay buffer (10 % glycerol (v/v), 10 mM TrisHCl pH = 7.5, 1 mM dithiothreitol) by passage through an Econopac 10DG column (BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA), or the protein was purified from the supernatant using Ni-NTA Spin Columns (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and subsequently desalted through an Illustra NAP-5 Column (GE Healthcare).

For loading of eIF2 with fluorescent nucleotide, 500 μL of eIF2 at 4.9 mg/mL (38 μM) was adjusted to a final concentration of 5 mM EDTA. Bodipy-FL-GDP (Thermo Fisher #G22360) was added to a 5-fold molar excess over eIF2 and the mixture was incubated for 1 hr at room temperature. MgCl2 was added to a final concentration of 10 mM to quench the loading reaction.

N-terminal domain of PA subunit (strain A/USA:Huston/AA/1945 H1N1) was delivered by MyBioSource (USA) as a stock solution of 6.3 μM. The His-tag protein was overexpressed in E. coli and purified by nickel affinity chromatography, followed by ion-exchange chromatography, to guarantee the purity higher than 90% (by SDS-PAGE, S1 Fig). The stock solution was kept in 20 mM Tris-HCl, 0.5 M NaCl, pH 8, 50% glycerol. Prior to experiments, the stock buffer was exchanged using Illustra NAP-5 column (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) according to provided protocol. 250 μl of stock PA-Nter was applied onto column, eluted with 1 ml of buffer (50 mM Hepes and 150 mM KCl pH 7.8) and used further in cleavage studies. Protein-rich fractions contained ~50% of the stock concentration as verified with Micro BCA Protein Assay Kit (ThermoFisher).

Unreacted dye was separated on an Illustra Nap-5 column (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) and aliquots were stored in 50 mM NaH2PO4, 0.5 M NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT and 5% (v/v) glycerol at −80°C. Activity of LLO-A647 was confirmed by using the PI assay to be similar to unlabelled LLO toxin.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PAGE-purified DNA oligonucleotides with or without fluorophore of FAM or Cy5 were obtained from PURIGO (Taipei, Taiwan). Their sequences are listed in S2 Table. Oligonucleotides were adjusted to 100 μM with 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.5. The fluorophore-labeled oligonucleotide was annealed to unlabeled oligonucleotides (S3 Table) in 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.5, 100 mM KCl, and 5 mM MgCl2, with temperatures slowly ramping from 95°C to 25°C at a rate of 0.01°C/sec. Annealed products were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in Tris-borate-EDTA buffer (TBE-PAGE). DNA substrates were eluted by immersing gel slices in 0.5 M ammonium acetate at 4°C with rotation overnight. The sample was applied to an Illustra NAP-5 column (GE) and eluted with 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.5 with 100 mM NaCl. The concentrations of fluorophore-labeled DNA substrates were measured by TBE-PAGE with fluorophore-labeled DNA oligonucleotides as standards. Design of oligonucleotides is based on a previous reference [58 (link)], with modifications.

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.
