Continuous wave (CW) EPR spectra were recorded for samples placed into Quartz capillaries (VitroComInc., New Jersey) using a Bruker EMX spectrophotometer fitted with an ER4119HS resonator. For lipid titration experiments of EHD2, and Syt1 MLVs composed of 3:1 wt/wt POPS:POPC were suspended in 20 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, as well as 1 mM Ca2+ in the case of synaptotagmin1, or 2:1 wt/wt POPG:POPE in the same buffer system for amphiphysin. CW EPR spectral amplitudes were recorded for samples of spin labeled protein in 20 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl buffer. For all experiments, protein concentration was 10 μM and the amount of lipids added was varied. The values were then normalized relative to the protein’s CW EPR spectral amplitude from the protein alone in solution. For signal to noise reasons, we recorded the ratio of the amplitude of the immobilized component in the low field transition line and that of the central line width to plot the effect of increasing lipid concentrations.

X-band continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance (CW-EPR) experiments were performed in a EMXmicro spectrometer equipped with a PremiumX ultra low noise microwave bridge and a high-sensitivity ER4119HS resonator (Bruker Biospin, Billerica, MA) at four different temperatures (310°K, 298°K, 288°K, and 278°K) using an ER4141VT temperature control unit (Bruker Biospin, Billerica, MA). ∼25 μL of spin-labeled GlpG that had been reconstituted into E.coli liposomes was loaded into a quartz capillary tube that was sealed with wax.

The continuous wave (CW) X-band EPR measurements were performed on a Bruker EMX spectrometer utilizing an ER4119HS resonator, 100 kHz field modulation at 140 or 298 K, and typically using 10.17 mW MW power. The CW Q-band EPR and ENDOR measurements were recorded on a Bruker Elexsys E500 spectrometer using a Bruker ER5106 QT-E Qband resonator operating at 10 kHz field modulation and 10 K for ENDOR (and at 100 kHz and 50 K for the EPR). The CW ENDOR spectra were obtained using 5 dB RF attenuation (80 W) from an ENI 3200L RF amplifier at 100 kHz RF modulation depth and 0.5 mW microwave power. Additional X-band Davies ENDOR measurements were also obtained. These Daviesâ€"ENDOR experiments (10) were recorded on a Bruker Elexsys E580 spectrometer and carried out using the following pulse sequence: Ï€-T-Ï€/2-Ï"-Ï€-Ï"-echo. The experiments were done with mw pulse lengths of t Ï€ = 256 ns, t Ï€/2 = 128 ns, and an interpulse time Ï" of 800 ns. An rf Ï" pulse of variable frequency and a length of 18 μs were applied during time T of 20 μs.

For EPR measurements, annexin protein (ANXB12 or ANXA2) were mixed with 600 μg of the extruded vesicles (POPS/POPC molar ratio 2 to 1) in 20 mM HEPES, 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.4 with 1 mM CaCl2 (protein-to-lipid molar ratio ~1:450) in a total volume of 1000 ul. The lipid vesicles as well as the membrane-bound annexins were harvested by centrifugation (21,000 × g, room temperature, 20 minutes). After carefully removing the supernatant, the pellet was collected into a borosilicate glass capillary to record EPR spectra using a Bruker EMX spectrophotometer fitted with ER4119HS resonator (scan width 150 G, modulation amplitude 1.5 G). All spectra were normalized to the same number of spins using double integration. The central line amplitudes from the normalized spectra were converted to fold increase over the 100% labelled ANXB12-K132C mutant and plotted. Estimates of trimer formation were then obtained from the spectral amplitudes of the respective normalized spectra assuming a linear combination of the individual spectral components of Fig. 3e.

Spin-Labeling of Oxidized Tau Monomers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CW EPR spectroscopy was used to confirm that the cysteines in htau40 Ox monomers were inaccessible for thiol crosslinking. For this purpose, purified protein was taken up in 8 M GdnHCl and incubated for 1 h at 22 °C with a 10-fold molar excess of the paramagnetic spin label MTSL (Toronto Research Chemicals taken up in dimethyl sulfoxide to 40 mg/ml). Excess label and denaturant were removed by gel filtration using PD-10 columns. The labeling procedure was repeated with nonoxidized htau40 monomers and oxidized monomers (htau40 Ox) that had been incubated with 20 mM DTT for 5 h (to reduce the disulfide bonds) and then dialyzed (to remove DTT). Both samples were expected to have free cysteines available for labeling and thus served as controls. CW EPR spectra (20 scans) of samples containing 5 μM monomers were collected at X-band (9.5 GHz) at 22 °C with 150 G sweep width, 12.05 mW power, and 1 G modulation amplitude on a Bruker EMX Plus spectrometer fitted with an ER 4119HS resonator.

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.
