Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lact-C2-GFP (#22852) was a gift from Dr. Sergio Grinstein (Addgene, Watertown, MA, USA) [27 (link)] and pGEX6P1-GFP-Nanobody (#61838) was a gift from Dr. Kazuhisa Nakayama (Addgene, Watertown, MA, USA) [38 (link)]. The pGEX6P1-GFP-nanobody plasmid was modified by adding an amber codon (TAG) and a 6 × His-tag sequence (5′-CACCACCACCACCACCAC-3′) to the C-terminal end of the GFP open reading frame. Primers were designed to clone the His-tagged anti-GFP-nanobody sequence into a pET21b vector backbone (Table 1). First, Hi-Fidelity PCR was performed to linearize the anti-GFP-nanobody insert and pET21b vector backbone. Afterwards, PCR amplification insert and backbone were assembled using In-Fusion HD cloning technology (#638910) according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Clontech, Mountain View, CA, USA).

Fluorescent Tagging of HSPA1A for Localization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To study HSPA1A’s localization, we used differentially tagged versions of the protein. Specifically, the cDNA clone containing a mouse hspA1A gene sequence, accession number BC054782, was used to generate the recombinant clones used in this study. HSPA1A was tagged with green fluorescence protein (GFP), red fluorescence protein (RFP), or myc. For expression in mammalian cells, the gene was subcloned into the pEGFP-C2, mRFP-C1, or pcDNA™3.1/myc-His(-) vectors using directional cloning after PCR amplification and restriction digest (see [22 (link),37 (link)] for complete protocol and primers used).
We used several lipid biosensors to selectively remove lipid targets using transfection (Figure 1).

Full-length EHD1 cDNA was previously described (Posey et al., 2014 (link)). Full-length EHD2-GFP was generated as described elsewhere (Doherty et al., 2008 (link)). Annexin A6–GFP and ANXA6N32 were generated as described previously (Swaggart et al., 2014 (link)). Annexin A6–mCherry and ANXA6N32-mCherry plasmids were generated by replacing the GFP tag with mCherry using BamHI and XhoI restriction sites. pEGFPC1-muscle amphiphysin II (BIN1 variant 8), GFP-C1-PLCΔ-PH, Lact-C2-GFP, pLifeAct-mTurquise2, pEGFP-N1 α-actinin1, and dysferlin-Venus were purchased from Addgene.

All primer sequences used in these experiments are listed in Supplementary Table 1. MT, 2xMT, CA, CA-MT, and CA(C258S) were generated by PCR amplification of pcDNA3.1(−)-Flag-RavZ and pcDNA3.1(−)-Flag-RavZ(C258S) vectors and inserted into the N3-GFP or C1-GFP vectors using each restriction enzyme set. CA(Δα3)-MT was amplified by overlap extension PCR with C1-CFP-CA-MT used as a template, and then was inserted into the C1-GFP vector using the restriction enzyme set. GFP-AKT1-PH, GFP-Lact-C2, mRFP-Rab5 and mRFP-Rab7 were provided by Addgene (Cambridge, MA, USA). We used previously described DNA constructs for mRFP-LC3B, and mRFP-GABA RAP in this study.

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.
