Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Combinations of wild type and mutated forms of recombinant His-Flag-CIPK26N and His-Flag-KEGRK were incubated at 30°C for 30 min in 30 μL kinase assay buffer adapted from previously described (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.1% Triton X-100, and 10 μCi of [γ-33P]ATP) (Ren et al., 2002 (link)). The reaction was stopped by the addition of SDS-loading buffer and boiling for 5 min. Samples were separated on a 7.5% SDS-PAGE gel and the gel was dried with a gel dryer (Biorad) and phosphorylated protein was detected by autoradiography. Kinase assay was repeated twice.

Crude protein extracts from IPTG induced and uninduced control E. coli cells was separated by 12% SDS-PAGE containing 0.01% glycol chitin. Sample loading buffer was same as that of SDS-PAGE but without β-mercaptoethanol. After electrophoresis, gel was immersed in a 0.1 M sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.0) containing 1% (v/v) deionized Triton X-100 and incubated for 30 min on shaker. The gel was then transferred to a fresh 0.1 M sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.0), and incubated at 37°C in thermostated chamber overnight for renaturation. After incubation, sodium acetate buffer was removed and activity staining was done with silver stain. Fixation was performed in a liquid solution containing 50% methanol, 12% acetic acid, and 0.0185% formaldehyde, all in v/v. Gels were then incubated on a shaker for 10 min in 40% (v/v) ethanol and for 10 min in 30% (v/v) ethanol, in continuous order. Pre-treatment, rinsing, and silver impregnation were performed using standard methods. Then the reaction was stopped using 5% acetic acid. After the development was stopped, gel was washed initially with 30% (v/v) methanol for 20 min and later with 10% (v/v) methanol for 20 min and then stored in 10% (v/v) methanol at 4°C before drying. Silver-stained gel was dried with a gel dryer (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Richmond, CA) and preserved at room temperature (Marek et al., 1995 (link)).

The selective 2′-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension (SHAPE) was used as previously described (Wilkinson et al. 2006 (link)). Briefly, 40 ODs of exponentially growing cells were lysed and polysomal profiles were generated as described above. Sub-60S, 60S, and 80S fractions from wild-type and mutant strains were collected, sucrose was removed with PD10 Columns (GE Healthcare), re-concentrated with Amicon Ultra Centrifugal Filter Units (Millipore) and treated with 1-methyl-7-nitroisatoic anhydride (1M7) (Prime Organics, Woburn, US) or DMSO. RNA was extracted using a standard phenol:chloroform extraction. Primer extension was performed with a 32P 5′-end labeled primer (5′-AAAACTAGTGATTCTGCCAAGCCCG-3′) complementary to 25S rRNA 95 nucleotides downstream from C2278. Samples were resolved on a 6% urea-polyacrylamide gel at 20W for 2.5 h. The gel was dried for 1 h at 80°C using a gel dryer (BioRad), exposed to imaging plate (Fujifilm), and scanned on the Fujifilm FLA7000 PhosphorImager.

After incubation, the reaction was stopped by addition of Laemmli buffer and heat denaturation at 95°C for 5 min. Phosphorylated proteins were separated on 10% SDS‐PAGE gels. The gels were stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue and placed in a gel dryer (Bio‐Rad), exposed to an X‐ray film in an autoradiography cassette (Bio‐Rad), and visualised by autoradiography.

Induced and uninduced cells were treated ± 3H-quinoxaline at 0.33 μM, and incubated at 37°C for 30 min. Unbound quinoxaline was removed by centrifugation. Non-reduced clarified lysates were run on a 4–12% Bis-Tris gel. The gel was cut into 2 parts; one side was dried on a BioRad gel dryer and exposed to autoradiography film for 1 month. The other side was transferred to nitrocellulose membrane and FPN detected with antibody 38C8.

GST-tagged PC1 expression constructs were expressed and purified with glutathione beads as described above. Beads were washed once with lysis buffer, twice with wash buffer (25 mM Tris⋅HCl at pH 7.4, 0.05% Triton X-100, 1 mM CaCl2, 20 mM MgCl2, 1 mM dithiothreitol [DTT]), and then resuspended in 50 μL of kinase reaction buffer per reaction (25 mM Tris⋅HCl at pH 7.4, 0.05% Triton X-100, 1 mM CaCl2, 20 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 100 μM adenosine triphosphate [ATP], 0.2 mg/mL phosphatidyl serine, 200 nM phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate, 300 μCi/mL ATP). Beads were incubated for 45 min at 30 °C with either 20 ng of recombinant PKCδ (Calbiochem) or 40 ng PKCζ (Sigma). The reactions were stopped by washing the beads once with ice-cold wash buffer. Phosphorylated proteins were resolved by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The gel was dried for 6 h using a gel dryer (Bio-Rad), and radioactive phosphate was detected using a phosphorimager (Bio-Rad). Protein loading of each reaction was determined in parallel by Western blot analysis. All experiments are representative of three independent experiments.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nasal fibroblasts were exposed to CSE for 72 h after pretreatment with ROS scavengers, PI3K/Akt inhibitor and NF-κB inhibitor for 1 h. Aliquots of fibroblast-conditioned medium (10 µL) were analyzed using gelatin zymography for MMP-2 and MMP-9 in 1 mg/mL gelatin-10% polyacrylamide gels. Following electrophoresis, the gels were washed twice with 2.5% Triton X-100 for 30 min while shaking to remove sodium dodecyl sulfate and renature MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the gels. Renatured gels were incubated in developing buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 200 mM NaCl, 5 mM CaCl2, and 0.02% Brij-35 overnight at 37 °C. Gels were stained with 0.25% Coomassie brilliant blue G-250 (50% methanol, 10% acetic acid) and destained using destaining solution (50% methanol, 10% acetic acid). Proteinase activity was observed as cleared (unstained) regions on the gels. Finally, the gels were dried for 2 h using a gel dryer (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA).

Kinase Assays with MARP Inhibitors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For in-vitro kinase assays, 2µg of GST fusion proteins were combined with either purified PKCα (Sigma-Aldrich) or PKA (NEB) in kinase buffer (20mM HEPES KOH pH7.4, 10mM MgSO4, 0.1mM CaCl2) supplemented with radioactively labeled [γ-32P]ATP (Amersham Biosciences). For PKCα in-vitro kinase assays, the reaction mix was additionally supplied with a combination of 1µg/µl phosphatidylserine (1,2-Diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-L-serine) and 2µg/µl diacylglycerol (DAG; 1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycerol) dissolved in resuspension buffer (10 mM HEPES KOH pH7.4, 0.3% Triton X-100). To measure the effect of MARPs on N2A phosphorylation, increasing amounts of either GST-CARP1 (or GST-CARP3) or GST alone were added to the reactions. The mixture was subsequently incubated at 30°C for 30 minutes. After incubation, samples were mixed with SDS-sample buffer and separated using SDS-page. Gels were coomassie-stained, dried on a Biorad gel dryer and radioactively labeled proteins were analyzed using X-ray films and autoradiography. For densitometric quantification of phosphorylation levels, X-ray films were scanned and band intensity was measured using ImageJ (NIH).

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.
