Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Proteomic experiments with AMPK activator PF-06409577 were carried out with triple SILAC labeled HepG2 cells (Ong and Mann, 2007 ). HepG2 cells were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA) and cultured in customized high glucose SILAC DMEM media (PAA laboratories, catalog number E15-086) supplemented with 10% dialyzed FBS with 10 K molecular weight cut off (PAA laboratories, catalog number A11-507) and supplemented with penicillin/streptomycin. Extracted proteins were quantified by Bradford method and combined at equal protein concentration (1,1:1 light:medium:heavy). Proteins were separated using 1D-SDS gel and subdivided into 12 gel slices. For each gel slice, proteins were first reduced with dithiothreitol (DTT) and alkylated with iodoacetamide (IAA) before proceeding with trypsin digestion which was carried out at 37 °C for overnight.
Mass spectrometric analyses were carried out with Eksigent nanoLC (Sciex, Framingham, MA) coupled with Elite LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometer (Thermo, Bremen, German). Nano-LC column (15 cm × 75 μm) was packed in house using precut silica tubing PicoTip Emitter (New Objective, Woburn, MA) with 3 μm ReproSil-Pur C18 resin (Dr. Maisch, Entringen, Germany).

Proteomic Analysis of Nostoc Cyanobacteria

Freeze-dried, ice-affinity purified material was sent to the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and later to the College of Charleston (Charleston, SC), for liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis of tryptic peptides. Approximately 20 μg of total protein (as estimated from gel electrophoresis) was digested overnight at 37°C with trypsin gold (1:20; Promega) or GluC (1:10; Promega). Peptides were separated using two LC/MS platforms, an Eksigent nano-LC coupled to a SCIEX 5600 with a nanospray source and a Dionex Ultimate 3000 nano-LC coupled to an Orbitrap Fusion Lumos with a nanospray source at Hollings Marine Laboratory (Charleston, SC). Data were acquired from the Eksigent platform as described previously (39 (link)) and from the Dionex platform as described previously (40 (link)). Masses of the tryptic peptides were compared with predicted tryptic peptides in the Nostoc contig file translated in all six frames using MASCOT and MS-GF+ search engines. Searches included standard variable modifications and carbamidomethyl-fixed modifications. The search parameter Enzyme was set to trypsin or semitrypsin for data from trypsin digests or GluC(DE) for GluC endopeptidase digests. Error-tolerant searches were conducted to look for modified peptides not otherwise included.

Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Phage Proteins

The purified and concentrated phage lysate was subjected to gel electrophoresis, in-gel digestion with Trypsin, reverse phase nanoflow high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS-MS), and data analyses as previously described (42 (link)). In brief, the CsCl-purified phage lysate was reduced with 0.5% 2-mercaptoethanol in Laemmli buffer per manufactures' instructions (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) and subsequently subjected to SDS-PAGE using a 1D Bio-Rad 12% TGX gel (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). The gel was stained using ImperialTM Protein Stain (ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA, USA). Protein bands were excised and subsequently digested in gel with Trypsin (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) using a Digest Pro robot (Intavis, Köln, Germany). Sample digests were subjected to nanoflow reversed-phase chromatography with an Eksigent NanoLC (Sciex, Framingham, MA, USA) using Picochip columns (New Objectives, Woburn, MA, USA). Tandem mass spectra (MS-MS) were obtained in positive ion mode with an Orbitrap Elite mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Mascot software (Matrix Science, Boston, MA, USA) was used to match the MS-MS data to amino acid sequences derived from nucleotide sequences previously obtained from the phage isolates.

Quantitative Proteomic Analysis of CK2 Substrates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After tryptic digestion, resulting peptides from treated and untreated samples were isotopically labelled with N-acetoxy-D3-succinimide (D3-NAS) and N-acetoxy-H3-succinimide (H3-NAS), respectively, and then pooled together. Finally, proteins were identified by LC-MS/MS analysis using Eksigent nanoLC (AB SCIEX, Framingham, MA, USA) coupled to LTQ Orbitrap Velos Pro mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Protein–protein interaction networks were constructed using information from the STRING database [47 (link)], and protein kinase CK2 substrates were identified using post-translational modification resource iPTMnet, web-based tool KEA2, and literature search [48 (link),49 (link)].

Mass Spectrometry Proteome Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNF183 precipitates obtained as described in the previous section were used as the proteome analysis sample. Precipitate-bound beads were suspended in 25.5 μl of bicarbonate ammonium (21.25 mM, Wako Pure Chemical Industries). After adding 1.5 μl of dithiothreitol (12.5 mM, Thermo Scientific), the mixture was incubated at 95°C for 5 min. After cooling to room temperature, 3 μl of iodoacetamide (25 mM, Wako Pure Chemical Industries) were added, and the mixture was incubated at room temperature for 20 min. Next, 10 μl of 30 ng/μl trypsin (Promega Corporation) were added, and the mixture was incubated at 37°C for 3 h. Another 10 μl of trypsin were added, and the mixture was incubated overnight at 30°C. Finally, 2.5 μl of trifluoroacetate (Sigma-Aldrich) were added to terminate the reaction, and the sample was desalted using a C18 Spin Column (Thermo Fisher Scientific), followed by concentration for 2 h on a SpeedVac. Concentrates were analyzed on a TripleTOF 5600+ System with Eksigent nanoLC (AB SCIEX, Framingham, MA, USA). Proteins were identified using the ProteinPilot Software (AB SCIEX).

Quantitative Proteomics by DIA-MS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples were measured on a QExactive (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham MA, USA). Peptides were separated with an Eksigent NanoLC (AB Sciex, Washington, USA). We used a single-pump trapping 75-um scale configuration (Waters). 1ul of each were injected. Trapping was performed on a nanoEase TM symmetry C18 column (pore size 100Å, particle size 5um, inner diameter 180um, length 20mm). For separation, a nanoEase TM HSS C18 T3 column was used (pore size 100Å, particle size 1.8um, inner diameter 75um, length 250mm, heated to 50°C). Peptides were separated using a 120 min long linear solvent gradient of 5-35% ACN / 0.1% FA (using a flowrate of 300nl / min). Electronspray ionization with 2.6kV was used and a DIA method with a MS1 in each cycle followed by 35 fixed 20 Da precursor isolation (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder.

windows within a precursor range of 400-1100 m/z was applied. For MS1 we used a maximum injection time of 200ms and an AGC target of 3e6 with a resolution of 60k in the range of 350-1500 m/z. MS2 spectra were acquired using a maximum injection time of 55ms an AGC target of 1e6 with a 30k resolution. A collision energy of 28 was used for fragmentation.

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.
