Total protein levels of lysates from HEK293T cells were quantified using the BCA Protein Assay kit (Novagen) as per manufacturer's protocol. 20 µg of total lysates were denatured at 95°C in 4X loading buffer (125 mM TrisHCl pH 6.8, 6% SDS, 4 M urea, 4 mM EDTA, 30% glycerol, 4% β-mercaptoethanol and Bromophenol blue) and loaded on NuPAGE 4-12% Bis-Tris Gel (Life Technologies). Proteins were transferred on PVDF membranes using the transfer apparatus from Life Technologies or Trans-Blot Turbo Transfer System from Biorad following manufacturer's protocol. Membranes were stained for 30 minutes in TBS, 0.1% Tween, 0.4% PFA, before blocking (1 hr) in TBS, 0.1% Tween, 5% non fat milk. Incubations with primary antibodies were performed overnight at 4°C. Incubations with secondary anti-mouse or -rabbit horseradish peroxidase conjugated antibodies were carried out for 1 hour at room temperature. Protein bands were detected using chemiluminescence substrate (ECL from Life Technologies). Similarly 0.25 µg or 2–5 µg of human recombinant HTT N548 proteins were loaded on NuPAGE 4–12% Bis-Tris Gel (Life Technologies) for Western blotting analysis and for fast coomassie-G250 staining respectively.

The activity of CatroxMP-II was tested on human fibrinogen (Hyphen Biomed, OH, USA). Briefly, 20 µL of 5 mg/mL fibrinogen was mixed with a 10 µL of purified CatroxMP-II at various concentrations and incubated at 37 °C for 24 h. The final concentration of fibrinogen was 3.3 mg/mL. The reactions were stopped by addition of sample denaturing buffer and analyzed by NuPAGE 4–12% Bis–Tris gel (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
The inhibition of the zinc-chelator ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and the serine protease inhibitor phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride (PMSF) on fibrinogen proteolysis by purified CatroxMP-II was investigated by incubating individual enzyme at final concentrations of 0, 100 and 300 µM of each inhibitor for 1 h at 37 °C. The mixtures were then incubated with 33 µg of fibrinogen for 24 h at 37 °C. Samples from each reaction were analyzed by NuPAGE 4–12% Bis–Tris gel (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
For the next two phases of experimentation, the investigators at the University of Arizona purchased 20 µg CatroxMP-II in PBS at a concentration of 1 µg/mL that was received on dry ice, thawed, aliquoted into 2 µg samples, and then refrozen and maintained at− 80 °C until experimentation.

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.
