The two-hybrid assay was performed as previously described22 (link) using the ClonTech Matchmaker Mammalian Two Hybrid Assay kit.25 (link) The two plasmid constructs containing survivin fused to the GAL4-DNA-binding domain and to the VP16 activation domain have been previously engineered.22 (link) Briefly, these two plasmids (0.45 μg each/well) along with the pGSEAP reporter plasmid (0.09 μg/well) and firefly luciferase plasmid (30 ng/well) were co-transfected into 1 × 105 Du145 cells per well in a 12 well plate. At 48 h after transfection, media were changed with fresh ones containing DMSO, 7F, or 7F1 for 24 h followed by determination of SEAP activity using the Takara ClonTech SEAP Great Escape chemiluminescence assay kit 2.0. Cells were then lysed to determine luciferase activity for transfection efficiency control.

Mammalian Two-Hybrid Assay for Survivin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The mammalian two hybrid assay was performed using the ClonTech Matchmaker Mammalian Two Hybrid Assay kit with the two newly engineered fusion plasmids as described above. Briefly, DU145 cells were seeded in 12-well plates at 1 × 105 cells/well and cultured for 24 h followed by transfection using pBIND-survivin and pACT-survivin (0.45 μg/well) along with the pGSEAP reporter plasmid (0.09 μg/well) and firefly luciferase reporter plasmid (30 ng/well). Two days after transfection, media was changed and cells were treated with DMSO, LQZ-7, or LQZ-7 analogues for 24 h followed by determination of SEAP activity using the Takara ClonTech SEAP Great Escape chemiluminescence assay kit 2.0. Luciferase activity was also measured as a control for transfection efficiency.

Mammalian Two-Hybrid Assay for NCC-ENaC Interaction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We utilized the Matchmaker Mammalian Two-hybrid assay kit (Clontech). A full-length clone for mouse NCC was inserted into the DNA-binding domain (DNA-BD) plasmid vector, pM. Full-length clones of each subunit of ENaC were inserted into the activation domain (AD) plasmid, pVP16. These constructs were transfected into CHO cells along with the pG5CAT reporter plasmid. Each ENaC subunit was tested singly with NCC. The reporter gene will only be expressed if the protein encoded in the DNA-BD vector binds to the protein encoded in the AD vector. 48 hours after transfection cells were harvested and binding was assessed by measuring reporter gene expression (chloramphenicol acetyltransferase, CAT). Experiments were analyzed for the presence of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) with a commercially available UV assay (FAST CAT Assay Kit, Thermo-Fisher, Molecular Probes, Cat # F-6616). Blots were visualized with a Kodak 2000M camera system (Eastman Kodak). Intensity of signal was detected with Image J.

The two-hybrid assay was performed using the mammalian matchmaker two-hybrid assay kit (Clontech, Mountain View, CA). HeLa cells were co-transfected with pM-p53 (Clontech, Mountain View, CA), pVP-16-GLI1, pG5CAT, and the pSV40β-GAL reporter. Cell lysates were prepared 48 h after transfection. β-galactosidase activity was used to normalize CAT activity.

Mammalian Matchmaker Two-Hybrid Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The mammalian Matchmaker two-hybrid assay kit (Clontech) was used to generate the desired plasmid constructs. The human PEX5 gene was amplified by PCR with oligonucleotides RE3803 and RE3802 and pGD106 [54 (link)] as template. The resulting PCR-fragment was subcloned in the NotI/SacII- restricted pVP16 expression Vector, containing the VP16-activation domain. USP2 Isoform 3 and its variants were cloned in the pM vector, carrying the GAL4-binding domain. USP2-3 was amplified with the oligonucleotides RE3541 and RE3536 and subcloned into SmaI/HindIII digested pM. USP2-3 ΔSRM and USP2-3 SRM>SKL were amplified with a different reverse primers, RE3763 and RE4330, respectively and also cloned into pM via SmaI/HindIII.
HEK-293 cells were cultured and transfected as described above. For the mammalian two-hybrid assay, all three plasmids, pM-USP2-3 variant (0.9 μg), pVP16-PEX5 (0.9 μg), and pG5CAT reporter vector (0.2 μg) were co-transfected. The cells were allowed to grow at 37°C in 8% CO2 for 48 h. After transfection, secreted chloramphenicol transferase (CAT) was monitored using the CAT ELISA kit (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany).

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.
