Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mass photometry measurements were performed on a 2MP-0132 mass photometer (Refeyn Ltd). For the measurements, coverslips (No. 1.5 H thickness, 24 × 50 mm, VWR) were cleaned by dipping it into iso-propanol and Milli-Q water followed by drying under a stream of gaseous nitrogen. Subsequently, silicone gaskets (CultureWellTM Reusable Gasket, Grace Bio-Labs) were placed on the cleaned coverslips to create wells for samples. For mass measurements, gaskets were filled with 18 μl protein elution buffer to allow focusing the microscope onto the coverslip surface. Subsequently, 2 μl (50 nM) protein solution was added into the 18 μl droplets and mixed. A movie was recorded for 1 min using the software AcquireMP (Refeyn Ltd). Data analysis was performed using DiscoverMP (Refeyn Ltd). To convert the measured optical reflection-interference contrast into a molecular mass, a known protein size marker (NativeMarkTM Unstained Protein Standard, Invitrogen) was used.

Mass photometry measurements were executed on a OneMP device (Refeyn Ltd.). Glass coverslips (no. 1.5 H thickness, 24 mm by 50 mm; VWR) were cleaned by 15 min of sonication in isopropanol and deionized water. Afterward, coverslips were dried under a clean stream of nitrogen. For each measurement, the cleaned coverslip was placed onto the objective. For sample delivery, a silicone gasket (CultureWell Reusable Gasket, Grace Bio-Labs) with four wells was fixed on the surface of the coverslip.
Before each measurement, all samples were incubated in measurement buffer [25 mM tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 100 mM NaCl, 3 mM EDTA, and 1 mM DTT] at 4°C for 1 hour. For data acquisition, the gasket well was filled with 9 μl of measuring buffer (room temperature) to allow surface focusing. After that, 1 μl of protein sample was added to the gasket, resulting in a final sample concentration of 5 to 15 nM (5/10 nM BLMP and 5/10 nM TOPBP1). Protein binding to the coverslip surface was monitored for 100 s using AcquireMP (version 2.3.0; Refeyn Ltd.). Data analysis was performed by DiscoverMP (version 2.3.0; Refeyn Ltd.) and OriginPro 2017. For contrast to mass conversion, a known mass standard calibrant (NativeMark Unstained Protein Standard, Invitrogen) was measured the same day. All samples were measured at least three times.

HilD proteins (WT or Q39E+N44D+H95L) were purified by size exclusion column and diluted to 40 nM in DPBS (corning, 21-031-CV, with or without 100 μM of CDCA). Proteins treated with CDCA were incubated on ice for 4 hours before measurement. High precision microscope coverslips (No. 1.5H, 24 x 50 mm, 170±5 μM) were cleaned with repeated alternating washes of Milli-Q water and isopropanol, and dried using a clean stream of air. Clean coverslips were assembled with silicone gaskets (CultureWell™ reusable gasket, 3mm diameter x 1 mm depth, Grace Bio-Labs), and samples imaged using a Refeyn Two MP Mass Photometer (Refeyn.com). The instrument was focused against cold PBS buffer (15 μl). Protein samples (5 μl) were then added to the cold PBS (15 μl), mixed thoroughly, and imaged for 60 seconds at 300 frames per second(fps) using the Refeyn AcquireMP (v. 2.4.1) software suite. Reported concentrations reflect sample concentrations in the final 20 μl solution. Mass Photometry data was analyzed using Refeyn DiscoverMP software suite (v.2.4.3). Raw MP contrast values were converted to mass using a standard calibration of BSA (ThermoFisher, 23209) and Thyroglobulin (Millipore, 609310). Data displayed above gaussian fits represent apex molecular weight, standard deviation (σ), and the number of events within the gaussian fit.

Glass surfaces and silicon nitride cantilevers (BioLever mini BL-AC40TS-C2, Olympus, Tokio, Japan) were silanized with (3-aminopropyl)-dimethyl-ethoxysilane (APDMES, ABCR GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany). Utilizing silicon masks (CultureWell Reusable Gaskets, Grace Bio-Labs, Bend, OR, USA), two spatially separated spots on the silanized glass surfaces were PEGylated with α-Maleimindo-hexanoic-ω-NHS Polyethylene glycol(NHS-PEG5000-Mal, Rapp Polymere, Tübingen, Germany) dissolved into 25 mM in 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid buffer (HEPES), 50 mM, pH 7.5. Cantilevers were PEGylated using the same conditions. Next, the PEGylated surfaces and cantilevers were coupled to Coenzyme A (CoA, 1 mM) in sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.2. Finally ybbR-CBM(C63S)-ScaB-XDoc or ybbR-CBM(C63S)-CttA-XDoc were covalently immobilized onto the two spatially separated spots on the glass slide via their ybbR-tags in an Sfp-catalyzed ligation at room temperature for 30 minutes. Each Dockerin was diluted to 0.5 μM in Ca-TBS supplemented with 20 mMMgCl2, while the Sfp enzyme was added to 1 μM. CohE-CBM(C63S)-ybbR was coupled to cantilevers at a concentration of 20 μM under the same conditions.
