Cells were resuspended in buffer C (25 mM Tris–HCl pH 7.5, 200 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, and 0.5 mM TCEP) supplemented with 5 mM imidazole, 0.05% Tween-20, and cOmplete Protease-Inhibitor-Cocktail (Roche). Cells were lysed by sonication, cleared by centrifugation (20 min, 20,000 × g, 4°C), and the clarified lysate was purified on Ni-NTA resin (QIAGEN) eluting in buffer C supplemented with 200 mM imidazole. The eluted protein was incubated with Strep-Tactin Sepharose (IBA Lifesciences) beads, washed with 10 column volumes of buffer B, and eluted with buffer C supplemented with 5 mM Desthiobiotin. Strep-Tactin purified mPSF complexes were concentrated in centrifugal filter (Amicon Ultra-15, MWCO 300 kDa, Merck Millipore) to approximately 0.5 mg ml−1. To account for impurities, mPSF complex concentrations were assessed on sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) and adjusted accordingly (Figure S1C), aliquoted, flash frozen, and stored at −80°C. For use in pull-down analysis, CPSF complexes were used directly after Strep-Tactin purification.

Proteins were overproduced in E. coli BL21. Overexpression strains were cultivated in 1 l LB broth (containing 100 μg/ml ampicillin) at 37°C and 250 rpm. Protein expression was induced by addition of 1 mM IPTG at OD600 = 0.5. Cultivation was continued over night at 16°C and 200 rpm. Cells were harvested by centrifugation (11.325 x g, 10 min, 4°C) and the cell pellet was washed once in 20 ml ZAP buffer. Afterwards, the cell pellet was resuspended in 20 ml ZAP buffer containing 1 mM PMSF. Cells were disrupted using an EmulsiFlex C3 homogenizer (Avestin Europe GmbH), cell debris was removed by centrifugation (4.581 x g, 10 min, 4°C) and the lysate was cleared in an additional passage through a filter (0.45 μm pore size). Strep-tagged proteins were purified using affinity chromatography and Strep-Tactin Sepharose (IBA Lifesciences, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Fractions containing purified proteins were pooled, aliquoted and stored at -20°C.

Purification of DHFR Variants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All
DHFR variants were constructed, overexpressed, and purified using
standard molecular biology techniques,50 (link),55 (link) as described
in full detail in the Supporting Information section 5.2. Briefly, the DHFR4S DNA construct was built
from the pT7-SC1 plasmid containing the DHFR-tag construct50 (link) by inserting an additional alanine residue at
position 175 (located in the fusion tag) with site-directed mutagenesis.
All other variants were derived—again using site-directed mutagenesis—either
directly from DHFR4S or from a variant thereof. The plasmids
of each DHFR variant were used to transform E. cloni EXPRESS BL21(DE3)
cells (Lucigen, Middleton, USA), and the DHFR proteins they encode
were overexpressed overnight at 25 °C in a liquid culture. After
the bacterial cells were harvested by centrifugation, the overexpressed
proteins were released into solution through lysis—using a
combination of at least a single freeze–thaw cycle, incubation
with lysozyme, and probe–tip sonification. Finally, the DHFR
proteins were purified from the lysate with affinity chromotography
with Strep-Tactin Sepharose (IBA Lifesciences, Goettingen, Germany),
aliquoted, and stored at −20 °C until further use.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Get3 with a ybbR tag (DSLEFIASKLA) inserted between residues S110 and D111 was labeled with BDP-maleimide (Thermo Fisher Scientific) or with a 1:1 mixture of ATTO550-maleimide (GE Healthcare) and ATTO 647N-maleimide (ATTO-TEC) via Sfp-catalyzed incorporation of dye-CoA conjugates (Rao et al., 2016 (link); Chio et al., 2019 (link), 2017b (link)). The C-terminal His6-tagged Sfp was removed through Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. The excess dye–CoA conjugates were further removed through gel filtration using a Sephadex G-25 (Sigma-Aldrich) column. Get3ATTO550/ATTO647N-TA complex and Get3BDP-TACm were generated by in vitro translation of TA substrate 3xStrep-SUMOnc-Bos1-opsin in E. coli S30 cell extract (Rao et al., 2016 (link)) supplemented with Get3 variants and untagged T7 RNA polymerase and/or untagged CmRS (for generating Get3BDP-TACm). The resulting Get3-TA complex was purified using Strep-Tactin Sepharose (IBA Life Sciences; Rao et al., 2016 (link); Chio et al., 2019 (link)).
Mini-Get1/2 was labeled with TMR-5-maleimide (Invitrogen) via thiol-maleimide reaction on an engineered single cysteine at residue S77 of Get1 or residue T34 of Get2. The labeling reaction was quenched with 1 mM DTT, and excess dye was removed using a PD-10 column packed with Sephadex G-25 resin (GE Healthcare).

WNV Envelope Protein Purification

Culture supernatants of transfected 293 T cells were harvested and treated with 1% Triton X-100. The supernatants were immunoprecipitated or pulled down using an anti-WNV E antibody (Millipore) or Strep-Tactin Sepharose (IBA Lifesciences, Gottingen, Germany). Immunoprecipitation was performed by incubating the supernatants at 4 ℃ for 3 h with 20 μL of antibody-coupled Surebeads Protein G Magnetic Beads (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). The supernatants were next incubated with Strep-Tactin Sepharose at 4 ℃ for 2 h. The reaction and elution steps were performed following the manufacturer’s instructions. The precipitated protein was separated using SDS-PAGE and analyzed by immunoblotting as described above.

Luciferase Protein Purification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples of truncated luciferases were obtained by in vitro translation in 0.5- and 2-mL reaction mixtures (vide supra), respectively, for wild-type and modified proteins, using an S-30 system prepared from clone 010328R2, having a modified ribosome and plasmids pETΔLucwt and pETΔLuc285286, respectively. In the case of the reaction mixture with pETΔLuc285286 plasmid, a suppressor tRNA activated with cyclic peptide 3 was also present. Final reaction mixtures were diluted three fold with 100 mM Tris–HCl, pH 8.3 (wash buffer) and loaded on Strep-Tactin Sepharose (100 μL volume, IBA Life-sciences, Gottingen, Germany), equilibrated with the same buffer, then washed with 2 mL of the same buffer. Bound proteins were then eluted with 0.5 mL of the same buffer, supplemented with 2.5 mM desthiobiotin, and concentrated/desalted by Amicon Ultra 10k centrifugal filters (Merck Millipore Ltd.). The final volume of samples was about 30 μL. Samples were analyzed by SDS-PAGE with Coomassie R-250 staining; the protein concentration was estimated by comparison to known concentrations of a commercial sample of lysozyme.

A549 human alveolar epithelial cells were transfected with empty vector in triplicate or with vectors expressing SARS CoV-2 Nsp3ΔTM or PLpro fused to a 2xStrep tag at the N-terminus (4 replicates each). 12hr later, cells were stimulated with 50 ng/ml IFN-a (Cell Signalling Technologies) for 36hr. Cells were lysed in ice-cold IP buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.5% NP-40, 1 mM AEBSF) and clarified by centrifugation. Viral proteins were affinity purified from 4 mg lysates by tumbling with 40 μl Strep-Tactin Sepharose (IBA Life Sciences) for 90 min at 4°C. Beads were washed two times with IP buffer containing 500 mM NaCl and 0.5% NP-40 and twice more with IP buffer without detergent. 90% of the final wash was transferred to a fresh LoBind tube (Eppendorf) for processing for LC-MS/MS analysis. The remaining 10% was reserved to confirm viral protein expression and pulldown by Western blot for Nsp3. Efficient IFN-a stimulation was confirmed by blotting lysates for ISG15.

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.
