GAP Domain Protein Binding Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Spin6 GAP domain fragment was cloned into the GST fusion vector pGEX-6p-1 (GE Healthcare). OsRac1 cDNA was cloned into the MBP vector pMAL-c2 (New England BioLabs). The proteins were expressed and purified according to the manufacturer’s protocols for GAP activity assay. OsRac1 protein at 1 μM was loaded with 10 μM mant-GTP (Molecular Probes, M12415) in the following buffer: 20 mM Tris/HCl pH 8.0, 50 mM NaCl, and 1 mM EDTA. After 10 min at 25°C, the mant-GTP loaded OsRac1 was used for the GAP activity assay by adding 5 μM SPIN6GAP or GST (control) proteins in reaction buffer (200 mM Tris-Cl pH 8.0, 500 mM NaCl, 10 mM EDTA). Samples were immediately placed into a Glo-MAX luminometer (Promega) for fluorescence detection (at 10 min intervals for 30 min) at 25°C. Each reaction was repeated three times, and means and standard errors are presented.

Fluorescence-based guanine-nucleotide exchange assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fluorescence-based in vitro guanine-nucleotide exchange assays were performed using Mant-GTP (Molecular Probes, Life Technologies, St-Aubin, France) in an FLX 800 microplate fluorescence reader (BioTek Instruments, Colmar, France) at 25°C, as described (Bouquier et al., 2009 (link)). Nucleotide exchange was determined by measuring Mant-GTP loading on GDP-preloaded Rac1, Cdc42, or RhoA GTPases using 1 μM GEF (0.5 μM for Dbl). The relative Mant fluorescence (λex = 360 nm and λem = 460 nm) was monitored for 30 min, and measurements were taken every 15 s.

MANT-GTPγS Binding Assay for Ras Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MANT-GTP was purchased from Thermofisher. Binding of 0.5 μM MANT-GTPγS to 1–2 μM purified protein was measured at room temperature in buffer containing 20 mM Tris pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl, plus or minus 1-10 mM MgCl2 or 2-20 mM EDTA as indicated, in 100 μl reaction volumes in a black-bottomed microplate. Fluorescence data were collected on a BioTek Synergy 2 multi-mode reader with excitation/emission filters of 360/40 and 450/50, respectively. A time course of binding was carried out with fluorescence measurements taken every 30 s for 30 min, with protein added to nucleotide after 3 baseline measurements (which were averaged as signal at time zero). In each experiment, the fluorescence signal was normalized to time zero. Purified H-Ras G12V was used as a positive control.

Nucleotide Binding Assays for AtYchF1

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nucleotide binding assays were performed as described (Rohn et al., 1999 (link)) using MBP-AtYchF1. Thirty-one mircomolar 2'/3′-O-(N-Methyl-anthraniloyl) (Mant)-GTP (Cat# M12415, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, United States) or Mant-ATP (Cat# M12417, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, United States) was mixed with about 100 μM MBP-AtYchF1 or MBP-only in each 160-μL reaction. For the competition assays between ppGpp and GTP/ATP for AtYchF1 binding, the Mant-GTP/-ATP:ppGpp molar ratios of 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 were tested.

Fluorescence Analysis of Obg GTPase

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
N-methyl-3’-O-anthranoyl-(mant)-guanine nucleotide analogs of GTP and GDP (mant-GTP and mant-GDP, respectively) were purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA). Protein (ObgGC or *ObgGC, 2 μM) was incubated with either mant-GTP or mant-GDP nucleotide (0.3 μM) in buffer containing 50 mM Tris, 2 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, 50 mM KCl, 10% (wt/vol) glycerol, and for reactions with mant-GTP, 5 mM MgCl2 was included [11 (link)]. All fluorescence measurements were performed at 37°C using a Synergy HT plate reader (BioTek, Shoreline, WA). These studies were carried out at least eight times over multiple days. The means for the biological replicates with corresponding standard error of the mean (SEM) are reported.

MANT-GTP Binding Kinetics of AMPH-1

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
(2’-(or-3’)-O-(N-methylanthraniloyl) guanosine 5’-triphosphate (MANT-GTP) was obtained from Thermo-Fisher as a frozen 5 mM stock solution. Immediately prior to use, samples of AMPH-1 were loaded on a Sephadex S200 gel filtration column equilibrated in sample buffer (25 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 100 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2). The AMPH-1 dimer peak was then collcted and concentrated. Both AMPH-1 and MANT-GTP were separately diluted into sample buffer at twice the final target concentration, mixed 1:1 and then incubated for 5 min at 23 °C prior to measurement. In all cases, the final MANT-GTP concentration was 2 μM and the final AMPH-1 concentration was varied from 3–100 μM (dimer). For competition experiments, the final GTP concentration was 250 μM. Emission spectra were acquired using a photon-counting, T-format steady state fluorometer (PTI) using excitation at 356 nm with a ± 2 nm bandpass. Emission was collected from 380–500 nm using a ± 2 nm bandpass. All measurements were taken at 23 °C using a thermally jacketed cuvette holder connected to a high-precision water bath.

GmROP9a Nucleotide Exchange Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
This assay was based on previous reports. 48, 103, 104 Briefly, 1 mM GmROP9a was preloaded with unlabeled-GDP. To start the nucleotide exchange reaction, fluorescently labeled N-methylanthraniloyl (mant)-GTP (mant-GTP; M12415, Thermo Scientific) was added to the reaction buffer and the fluorescent values were recorded for 300 s. To investigate the effect of GmGEF2a on the guanine nucleotide exchange rate of GmROP9a, the different concentrations of GmGEF2a proteins (0.2 mM, 1 mM, 4 mM) was added to the reaction buffer containing the 1 mM GmROP9a-GDP and 200 nM mant-GTP. After equilibration, GDP/GTP nucleotide exchange was monitored as the increase in the relative fluorescence of fluorescent GTP upon binding to GmROP9a GTPase, as determinded using a microplate reader (Varioskan Flash, Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).

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.
