Purification of Human TFIIH p62 and RPB6

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Unlabeled or 13C/15N-labeled human TFIIH p62 PH-D (residues 1–108) and unlabeled or 13C/15N-labeled human RPB6 (residues 1–127) were prepared as previously described (5 (link)). In brief, p62 or RPB6 was expressed as a hexa-histidine-tagged product in a pET15b vector (Merck Millipore) in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) Gold (Agilent Technologies). The lysed supernatant was loaded onto a Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) column (QIAGEN), and the eluate was digested with thrombin to remove the histidine tag. After concentration with an Amicon Ultra device (Merck Millipore), the sample was purified on a Superdex75 column (GE Healthcare).

Expression and Purification of 13C/15N-labeled p62 Fragment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The 13C/15N-labeled fragment of human p621–158 (residues 1–158) was expressed as a hexa-histidine-tagged product in a pET15b vector (Merck Millipore) in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) Gold (Agilent Technologies). The cells were grown at 37°C in M9 minimal medium containing [15N]ammonium chloride and [13C]glucose. The product was expressed by induction with 1 mM isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside. After 21 h of growth at 20°C, the cells were collected, resuspended in buffer A [20 mM Tris–HCl (pH 8.0), 10% glycerol, 1 M NaCl], lysed by sonication and then centrifuged. The supernatant was loaded onto a His-Tag Purification Resin (Roche) column equilibrated with buffer A, and the column was washed with buffer A containing 10 mM imidazole–HCl. The sample was eluted by 500 mM imidazole–HCl, peak fractions were pooled and the buffer was changed to thrombin cleavage buffer (10 mM Na2HPO4, 1.8 mM KH2PO4, 500 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, pH 7.3) by using an Amicon Ultra device (Merck Millipore). To remove the histidine tag, the sample was digested with thrombin for 63 h at 20°C. After concentration via an Amicon Ultra, the sample was applied to a Superdex75 (GE Healthcare) column equilibrated with 20 mM potassium phosphate (pH 6.8) and 500 mM NaCl.

Synthesis and Characterization of Cyclic Dipeptides

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Molecular biology reagents and chemicals were purchased from Fisher Scientific, Sigma-Aldrich, or New England Biolabs, Inc if not specifically indicated. Primers were ordered from Sigma-Aldrich. 4-Me-d,l-tryptophan was from MP Biomedical (Santa Ana, CA), while NOC-5 (3-(aminopropyl)-1-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-2-oxo-1-triazene) was purchased from EMD Millipore. Nine cyclic dipeptides used in this study were purchased from Chem-Impex Int’l, Inc. Brevianamide F was purchased from Ark Pharm, Inc. Escherichia coli BL21-GOLD (DE3) (Agilent) and BAP1 were used for routine molecular biology studies (Table S4) and protein expression, respectively, and were grown in Luria-Bertani broth or Terrific broth. DNA sequencing was performed at Eurofins. Primers used in this study were listed in Table S5. TB14 used in the study was reported in our previous study.[32 (link)] 1D and 2D NMR spectra of compounds were recorded in CD3OD on a Bruker 600 MHz spectrometer using 1.5mm High Temperature Superconducting Cryogenic Probe at the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA. Spectroscopy data were collected using Topspin 3.5 software. All 1H NMR were water suppressed to get rid of high background water peak. HRMS data were obtained using a Thermo Fisher Q Exactive Focus mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray probe on Universal Ion Max API source.

Recombinant Apoferritin Expression and Purification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Apoferritin was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21-Gold(DE3) (Agilent) from a plasmid encoding mouse heavy-chain ferritin provided by Dr. Haruaki Yanagisawa, the University of Tokyo. The protein was purified by heat treatment at 70 °C for 10 min, precipitation with ammonium sulfate, followed by gel filtration as described in the attached document. The apoferritin complex of ~500 kDa was eluted in 20 mM HEPES pH 7.5 and 300 mM NaCl, and the protein concentration was measured with the BCA assay (Pierce). Three μl of a sample solution containing apoferritin at a concentration of 3 or 4 mg ml−1 was applied onto a holey carbon-coated grid (Quantifoil R1.2/1.3, Quantifoil Micro Tools GmbH) with 200 mesh, and the grid was blotted off with filter paper for 4 s and immediately plunge-frozen in liquid ethane using an FEI Vitrobot Mark IV (ThermoFisher Scientific) under 100% humidity at 4 °C.

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.
