To test the effect of Kae on the stability of HR1 or HR2, HRs were incubated with isopropanol or various concentrations of Kae for 1 h at 37˚C, at final concentrations of 100 and 40 µM respectively. As for the formation of 6-HB, HR1 or HR2 were incubated with isopropanol or 100, 200 and 300 µM of Kae for 1 h at 37 ˚C. And HR2 or HR1 were then added to the mixture and incubated for an additional 30 min at 37˚C. The final concentrations of HR1 and HR2 were 100 µM and 40 µM respectively. Additionally, to determine the thermal stability of the original and mutant HR2 peptides, the samples were incubated at 37˚C for 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 min. The original and mutant HR2 peptides concentrations were 40 µM. After the treatment, the samples were diluted with non-denaturing buffer and loaded onto a Bis-Tris gel (4-20%) for 2 h with a constant voltage of 125V, in an ice-water bath for the 6-HB formation assay and HR2 stability assay. For the effect of Kae on the stability of HR1, the diluted samples were applied to a Bis-Tris gel (10%) for 5 h at a constant voltage of 125V in an ice-water bath using reversing electrodes. The gel was then stained with Coomassie blue (Beyotime) and imaged using a ChemiDoc MP Imaging System.

chIl-9Rα gene with only extracellular domain was cloned into pET-28a plasmid using a pair of primers (Forward:5′-CGGGATCC(BamHI)AGAGATTTCCCTGGCAGT-3′ and Reverse:5′-CCGCTCGAG(XhoI)CGTTCTGGTGTCAAAGAG-3′) and transformed into E. coli ROSETTA (DE3) strain for recombinant expression by inducing with 0.1 mM isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) (Solarbio, Beijing, China). After induction for 4 h, the lysates of bacteria were analyzed by 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and stained with Coomassie Blue (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). In order to produce adequate rchIL-9Rα, 300 mL bacteria culture was induced at the above conditions. The bacteria pellets were sonicated, and the lysed precipitate were dissolved with 8 M urea. The rchIL-9Rα with his tag was purified with the Ni Sepharose Column (General Electric, Boston, MA) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The purified rchIL-9Rα was refolded by dialysis with gradient urea buffer (6 M, 4 M, 2 M, 1 M, 0 M) at 4°C, and finally quantified by BCA Protein Assay Kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China).

Next, lysates were centrifuged at 13,000× g for 5 min at 4 °C to collect the supernatants and subjected to BCA protein assay (Beyotime Biotechnology, Haimen, China) for total protein quantification. Thereafter, the individual supernatant was mixed with SDS loading buffer and heated up to 95 °C for 5 min.

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.
