Kinetic Analysis of MLL1 Automethylation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Apparent Km values for AdoMet in MLL1 automethylation reactions were determined by incubating wild type or variant MLL1 at a concentration of 14 µM with various concentrations of [3H]-AdoMet (0–50 µM) at 15°C. The samples were quenched with SDS loading buffer at one and three-hour time points and separated by 4–12% Bis-Tris SDS-PAGE and stained with Coomassie brilliant blue. Gels were soaked in an enhancer solution (Enlightning, Perkin Elmer, Inc.) for 30 minutes then dried and exposed to film for 7 days at −80°C. Bands were quantified by densitometry using Image J66 (link), and relative intensity values were plotted as a function of time and fitted by linear regression to determine methylation rates. Methylation rates were then plotted as a function of AdoMet concentration and fitted by nonlinear least-squares regression to the Michaelis-Menton Equation 1. We note that that all variants tested displayed a pattern of substrate inhibition above 20 µM AdoMet, therefore apparent Km values are reported from the data fitted over the concentration range from 0–20 µM AdoMet.

Enzymatic Assay of MLL3 SET Domain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Purified MLL3 SET domains (wild type and mutant) alone (5 μm) or assembled with a stoichiometric amount of WRAD/RAD (5 μm) were incubated with 1.5 μCi of [3H]AdoMet (PerkinElmer Life Sciences, specific activity 78 Ci/mmol) at 15 °C for 3 h and then incubated on ice for 1 h. Half the volume of each sample was quenched with SDS loading buffer, and the other half was exposed to UV light (254 nm) in a Stratalinker oven at a distance of ∼15 cm for 30 min on ice. The UV-exposed samples were quenched with SDS loading buffer, and all samples were separated by SDS-PAGE using a 4–12% BisTris gel (Invitrogen) run at 200 V for 30 min. The gels were soaked in enhancer solution for 30 min (Enlightning, PerkinElmer Life Sciences) and then dried for 2.5 h at 72 °C under constant vacuum. The dried gels were exposed to film (Kodak Biomax MS Film) for 72 h at −80 °C.

Quantifying Viral Protein Synthesis in A549 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A549 cells were infected with 4.43 × 108 PFU/ml of CVB3. The virus was bound on ice for 1 h, after which the excess virus was washed with PBS. IDPN (1.5%) in DMEM supplemented with 1% FBS was added after ice binding. After IDPN was added, it was present at all steps until the end of the experiment. The infection was allowed to proceed at 37°C for 4 h, after which the low methionine/cysteine medium supplemented with dialyzed 1% FBS was added to cells. After 30 min, 500 μCi/ml of [35S]methionine-cysteine was added before a 1-h pulse. Samples were run at 4 to 20% Mini-Protean TGX Stain-Free gel (Bio-Rad), after which the gel was fixed with 30% methanol, 10% acetic acid for 30 min. The gel then was treated with an autoradiography enhancer (Enlightning; PerkinElmer) for 30 min. Finally, the gel was dried at 70°C for 2 h (gel dryer 583; Bio-Rad), and the dried gel was subjected to autoradiography.

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.
