Recombinant GST‐fusion proteins were expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) (Promega, L1195) using 0.5 mM IPTG at 25°C O/N. Bacteria were lysed in NET‐N buffer (20 mM Tris–HCl, pH 8.0, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5% Nonidet P‐40) containing EDTA‐free protease inhibitor mixture (Sigma‐Aldrich, P8465) and subjected to sonication. GST proteins were purified and immobilized on glutathione agarose (Thermo Scientific, 16100). HA‐TFGwtLIR or HA‐TFGmutLIR3 or positive control (supplementary Fig 5E and F) vectors were transiently transfected in HeLa cells as indicated. Then, cells were lysed with NET‐N buffer. GST pulldown assays were performed by incubating immobilized GST‐fusion proteins with protein extract derived from HeLa cells for 2 h at 4°C with gentle agitation. Unbound proteins were removed by washing the resins five times with NET‐N buffer. GST proteins were eluted from the beads with 10 mM reduced glutathione in 50 mM Tris–HCl (pH 8.0), for 30 min with gentle agitation at room temperature. The eluted samples were boiled for 5 min in sample loading buffer and separated by SDS–PAGE.

Cloning and Purification of Helicobacter pylori UreC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The gene encoding the UreC of H. pylori was amplified from the genomic DNA of H. pylori UMAB41 using a forward primer (5′-AAAACATATGAAAAAGATTAGCAGGAAAG-3′) with a NdeI cutting site (italic) and a reverse primer (5′-CCGCTCGAGCTACCGCGCCATCTTCCACCAG-3′) with a XhoI cutting site (italic). Following double digestion with NdeI and XhoI, the purified full-length gene was ligated into correspondingly double-digested pET-30a(+) (Novagen, Madison, WI). The recombinant plasmids were then transformed into competent E.coli BL21 (DE3) (Promega, Madison, WI). The transformants were grown until an OD600 of 0.6, and over expression of the cloned UreC was induced at 30°C by IPTG (1.0 mM). The E. coli cells were harvested by centrifugation, and total cell protein was isolated using the BugBuster® Protein Extraction Reagent (Novagen, Madison, WI). Purification of the overexpressed UreC was achieved using a Ni-NTA kit (Novagen, Madison, WI) per manufacturer’s instructions. The UreC protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and visualized after staining with Coomassie Blue R-250. The UreC protein concentration was determined using the Bradford assay (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA).

The methods of gene cloning and purification of recombinant CsGRN were used as our previous study (Wang et al., 2017 (link)). Briefly, the ORF of CsGRN (GenBank KY855531) has a genome length of 714 bp and was cloned into the pMAL-c2x vector (preserved in our lab). Following digestion with restriction enzymes, the plasmid DNA was attached to the pET-28a (+) expression vector (Novagen, Darmstadt, Germany), before being introduced into the E. coli BL21 (DE3) (Promega). Then, we induced selected clones at 20°C for 12–18 h with 1 mM IPTG (Sigma, Guangzhou, China) following growth. By using the Amylose Resin-Bind Purification Kit (BioLabs), we purified recombinant protein (MBP-GRN) from the supernatant.

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.
