Plasmids and E. coli competent cells for cloning were purchased from Novagen and New England BioLabs. The E. coli BL21 (DE3) competent cells used for protein expression were from Agilent. All chromatography columns were from GE Healthcare. Hotstart Pfu polymerase was from Agilent. Restriction enzymes were from New England BioLabs. Oligonucleotide primers were sourced from Sigma. Substrate S1P (CAS number: 26993-30-6) was from Cayman Chemical Co. 2E-HEX was synthesized in house using a published method (29 ). All other buffers and reagents were sourced from Sigma.

Purification of Recombinant Plasmodium Kinases

The full coding sequencing (CDS) of Pf NEK3, aside from the first 10 residues on the N-terminus, cloned in a pGEX-4T-3 vector, was a generous gift from Christian Doerig. The PfARK2-GST construct was generated within the Chakrabarti laboratory, and cloning is described in the Supporting Information. E. coli BL21(DE3) competent cells (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA) were transformed via heat shock, and expression was induced with 1 mM IPTG at 20 °C for 16 h. Bacterial lysates were pelleted by centrifugation and resuspended in a HEPES salt buffer (50 mM HEPES, 200 mM NaCl, 0.02% monothiolglycerol, pH 7.5) supplemented with 1× HALT Protease Inhibitor (#78443, Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA). Lysis was achieved with French press and sonication, and the lysate was clarified with centrifugation and filtration through a 0.2 μm PES membrane. Total protein lysate was run through a GSTrap FF Column (Cytiva, Marlborough, MA) and eluted with the suspension buffer supplemented with 20 mM glutathione. The resulting fractions were desalted with PD-10 Columns (Cytiva, Marlborough, MA) and quantified with a Bradford protein assay in accordance with the manufacturer’s protocol (BioRad, Hercules, CA).

Enantioselective Enzymatic Synthesis

Substrates 1 were synthesized as described in the Supporting Information. All other chemicals used in this study were purchased from commercial suppliers. A Bruker (Rheinstetten, Germany) DPX‐200 NMR device was used for 1H and 13C NMR measurements. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses were performed with an AZURA HPLC System (Knauer, Berlin, Germany) with a NUCLEODUR C18 Pyramid column (5 μm; 4.6×250 mm; Macherey–Nagel, Düren, Germany). The enantiomeric excess of intermediates 2 and products 3 was determined by chiral gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector (GC‐FID) by using a Shimazu GC Plus 2010 device (Shimazu, Kyoto, Japan) with a chiral column FS‐Hydrodex‐β‐6TBDM (Macherey–Nagel, Düren, Germany).
The codon‐optimized genes of B. bronchiseptica AMD‐WT (UniProtKB/Swiss‐Prot: Q05 115, PDB: 3DG9) and its variants V43I/A125P/V156L/M159L (AMD‐IPLL), G74C/M159L/C188G (AMD‐CLG), and V43I/G74C/A125P/V156L/M159L/C188G (AMD‐CLGIPL) were cloned into a pET28a vector with treatment of restriction enzymes NdeI, and XhoI. E. coli BL21(DE3) competent cells (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) were used for protein expression.22

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
OCG in RAW264.7 cells (passages 5–15; American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA, USA) was initiated by plating 5×104 cells into each well of an 8-chamber BD Falcon glass culture slide (BD Biosciences Discovery Labware, Bedford, MA, USA). The cells were incubated in 0.7 ml Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM; Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 10% antibiotic/antimycotic solution (164 IU/ml penicillin G, 50 μg/ml gentamicin, and 0.25 μg/ml fungizone; Sigma-Aldrich, Oakville, ON, Canada). Once cells were plated in the dishes, sRANKL was added at a final concentration of 60 ng/ml. sRANKL was purified from E. coli BL21(DE3) competent cells (Agilent Technologies, La Jolla, CA, USA) transformed with pGEX-4T-1-sRANKL (kindly provided by Dr M.F. Manolson) using glutathione sepharose 4B resin (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ, USA). All the incubations were performed at 37°C in 5% CO2 humidified air for 4 days. Culture media was changed and sRANKL was supplemented on the second day in culture.

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.
