The 3’-amino and 5’- C6SSC6 disulfide modified oligonucleotide (Axolabs, Kulmbach, Germany) was dissolved in 100 mM sodium borate buffer containing 20% acetonitrile (pH 8.5) to a final concentration of 800 μM. Atto488-NHS ester (Atto-Tec, Siegen, Germany) was dissolved in anhydrous DMSO to a working concentration of 1 mM. Three molar equivalents of Atto488-NHS ester solution were added over 2 h every 15 min, following 3 h incubation at 25°C. The resulting construct was purified by EtOH precipitation and redissolved in water to a concentration of 1 mM. The C6SSC6 disulfide modified end was reduced with buffered tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP, 700 times molar excess, Sigma Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany) for 2.5 h at RT. TCEP was removed by EtOH precipitation. The remaining pellet was redissolved in 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer 20% acetonitrile (pH 7) to a concentration of 800 μM. Tetramethylrhodamine-6-maleimide (Life Technologies, Darmstadt, Germany) was dissolved in anhydrous DMSO to a working concentration of 1 mM. The Tetramethylrhodamine-6-maleimide solution (1.3 equivalents) was added immediately to the oligonucleotide solution, following incubation of 2 h at 25°C. The product was purified by EtOH precipitation and high-performance liquid chromatography.

MST measurements followed the framework outlined by (Seidel et al., 2013 (link)). Purified CoV-2 Mac1 was labeled with Atto488 NHS-ester (ATTO-TEC) according to the manufacturer’s protocol with labeling efficiency 1:1 protein-to-dye ratio. Labeled CoV-2-Mac1 (200 nM) or a combination of labeled (100 nM) and unlabeled (400 nM) CoV-2 Mac1 was combined with 0.01–2.5 mM ADP-ribose, PARG-329, or PARG-345 in MST buffer (10 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Surfactant P20, GE Healthcare; 5% DMSO was included for drug titrations), incubated for 10–15 min at room temperature, and loaded into standard silica capillaries (NanoTemper). Microscale thermophoresis (MST) measurements were acquired on a Monolith NT.115 system (NanoTemper) at 25 °C with 10–20% LED power and 40% (ADP-ribose) or 60% (PARG-329, PARG-345) infrared excitation for 20–30 s with 5-s equilibration and recovery periods. Data were analyzed with Nano Temper analysis software and displayed with Graphpad Prism 8.
ITC measurements were performed as described above with a PEAQ-ITC instrument using a cell concentration of DMSO-matched 50 μM CoV-2 Mac1 with 3 mM drug in the syringe (25 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 6% DMSO). Data were analyzed with the MicroCal PEAQ-ITC Analysis Software.

CTD peptides were N-terminally labeled with Atto-488, while NCoR and FMR1 peptides were purchased with an N-terminal FAM label. 0.5 mg of lyophilized CTD peptides were dissolved in 30 µL DMSO (Sigma-Aldrich). One molar equivalent of Atto-488 NHS ester (Atto-tec) and five equivalents of DIPEA (Sigma-Aldrich) was added to three equivalents of the peptide. Reactions were incubated ON at room temperature (RT) and protected from light. Labeled peptides were purified by reverse-phase HPLC over a C18 column (Agilent Technologies) using a gradient from 30 to 70% Methanol (Merck). Purified peptides were lyophilized and stored at −20 °C.

Fluorescent Labeling and Cellular Uptake of DNA, Complexes, and Receptor Complexes

DNAfs were non-enzymatically labelled in a 50 μL reaction with Platinum Bright™ 550 Red/Orange Nucleic Acid Labeling Kit (Kreatech Diagnostics, The Netherlands. Catalogue No. GLK-004) as per the manufacturer’s protocol. Cfs were dually labelled; the DNA component was labelled using Platinum Bright™ 550 Red/Orange Nucleic Acid Labeling Kit, while the protein component was labelled with ATTO 488 NHS-ester (ATTO-TEC GmbH, Germany. Catalogue No. AD 488-35) in accordance with the manufacturer’s protocol (www.atto-tec.com). RCfs were similarly dually labelled with Platinum Bright™ and ATTO 488 NHS-ester. NIH3T3 cells grown overnight on coverslips were treated with 100 μL of fluorescently labelled DNAfs, Cfs or RCfs (10 ng DNA each) for varying periods. After treatment, cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min, washed in PBS, mounted onto clean glass slides with Vecta-shield and intracellular uptake of labelled DNAfs, Cfs and RCfs and their localization in DAPI-stained nuclei was visualized using Zeiss differential laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) platform. Optical sections were captured at depths that passed through the nuclei. Fifty nuclei were analysed in each case, and the number of nuclei showing positive fluorescent signals as well as the average number of signals per nucleus were recorded.

Labeling E. coli Ribosomes with Fluorescent Dyes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sucrose gradient purified E. coli BL21 70S ribosomes were labelled as previously reported (2) using either ATTO488 NHS-ester (ATTO-TEC GmbH), or Dylight650 NHS-ester (Thermofischer Scientific) dyes. Briefly, 4.8 µM 70S ribosomes and 250 µM dye was mixed together in the reaction buffer (50 mM TrisHCl, pH 7.6, 15 mM MgCl 2, 100 mM NH4Cl and 6 mM β-mercaptoethanol) and incubated at 37 C for 30 minutes. Any precipitate was removed by centrifugation at 10000 xg for 1 minute using a tabletop centrifuge. The supernatant containing ribosomes was concentrated in a spin column (Vivaspin 6, MWCO 30 kDa) and thoroughly washed with reaction buffer to remove excess dye.
The final concentration of labelled 70S ribosome (A488) was estimated at 5.1 µM, and the ATTO488 label concentration to be 27.5 µM using a Nanodrop 1000 (Isogen), corresponding to ~5-6 labels per ribosome. The labelled 70S ribosome (D650) was estimated at 6.3 µM, and the Dylight650 label concentration at 28.7 µM using a Nanodrop 1000 (Isogen), corresponding to ~4-5 labels per ribosome. The ribosomes were then aliquoted, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C until further use.

Milk Gel Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Milk fat was stained for imaging with Nile Red (Sigma Aldrich, UK) to a concentration of 2.5 μM in the milk. Stained samples were left overnight at 5°C. Milk acid gels were prepared by adding 0.25 g of Glucono-δ-Lactone (GDL)(Sigma-Aldrich, USA) to 10 mL of the pre-stained milk giving a concentration of 2.5% GDL in the milk. The 10 mL of milk with GDL was inverted by hand for 1 min, and 600 μL of milk was sampled to which 3 μL of Atto 488 NHS-Ester (Atto-Tec GmbH, Siegen, Germany), dissolved in DMSO (99.9% pure, Sigma-Aldrich) was added to give a concentration of 510 μM in the milk. This volume was then transferred to a μ-Slide 8 Well chamber (ibidi, Germany), and incubated at 35 °C for 90 min. Five gels were produced per milk sample, giving 10 gels per treatment, as milk samples were prepared in duplicate.

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.
