Purification of OMPs from S. maltophilia was carried out as described by Hobb et al. [35] Briefly, cells from 250 mL culture of S. maltophilia ATCC13637 or M30 were resuspended in 7 mL of 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, and lysed by passing the culture twice through a French Press (Thermo Electron Corporation) at 1000 p.s.i. (6.9 MPa; 40K cell). The lysed cell preparation was centrifuged at 10000 x g for 10 min at 4C to remove cell debris. The membranes were then collected by ultracentrifugation at 100000 x g for 1 h at 4C (Beckman Ti70.1 rotor). The pellet was then resuspended in 2 mL 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, and washed in a total volume of 10 mL HEPES 10 mM, pH 7.4 and collected again by ultracentrifugation as described previously. The final pellet was resuspended in 5 mL 1% (w/v) N-laurylsarcosine (Sigma Aldrich) in 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, and incubated at 37C for 30 min with gentle shaking. The sarkosyl-treated membranes were then collected at 100000 x g for 1 h at 4C (Beckman, Ti70.1 rotor) and the resulting pellet was washed with 10 mL of HEPES 10 mM, pH 7.4. Following the final ultracentrifugation, the pellet was resuspended in 500 L of lysis solution (7 M urea, 2 M thiourea, 2.5% w/v CHAPS, 2% ASB-14 w/v, 0.5% pharmalytes, pH 3-10 and traces of bromophenol blue).

The cells were pretreated with 20 μM 6r for 1 h and subsequently incubated with 100 ng/mL EGF for 1 h further. After washing twice with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), the cells were scraped off with 2 mL lysis buffer (10 mM ethanolamine, 1 mM EDTA, and 0.25 M sucrose, pH 7.2) and centrifuged at 200 × g for 10 min. The supernatant was then transferred into a new tube, and the pellet was resuspended with 2 mL homogenisation buffer. After additional centrifugation at 200 × g for 10 min, the supernatant was pooled, yielding 4 mL of postnuclear supernatant. Subsequently, the postnuclear supernatant was diluted with a 90% Percoll reagent (#17-0891-02; GE Healthcare) to a final concentration of 8 mL 10% or 25% Percoll. Percoll-containing samples were centrifuged for 25 min at 4 °C at 50 000 × g in a Beckman Ti70.1 rotor. Finally, the gradients were fractionated into 16 fractions from the top to the bottom. The fractions were then immunoblotted for an EGFR, an early endosomal marker (EEA1), a late endosomal marker (Rab7), and a lysosomal marker (LAMP2), as indicated in the figure.

Ribosomes were isolated essentially as described59 . In brief, The Δrnr strain (BGSC BKE33610 trpC2; Δrnr::erm) was grown in 2 l LB medium until OD600 nm = 0.8. The cells were flash-frozen in ribosome buffer (20 mM HEPES-KOH, pH 7.5, 6 mM magnesium acetate, 30 mM NH4Cl and 0.5 mM TCEP) and lysed under cryogenic conditions using a Retsch MM400 (Retsch). The lysate was pre-cleared at 17,000 rpm for 30 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was then centrifuged for 17 h at 40,000 rpm in a Beckman 70.1 Ti rotor to pellet 70S ribosomes and remaining polysomes. The crude ribosomes were resuspended by gentle shaking at 4 °C for 60 min in either ribosome or dissociation buffer (20 mM HEPES-KOH, pH 7.5, 1 mM magnesium acetate, 200 mM NH4Cl and 0.5 mM TCEP) for subsequent isolation of 70S or ribosomal subunits, respectively. The resuspended ribosomes were subsequently loaded on 10–30% sucrose gradients and run in a Beckman SW32Ti rotor at 18,000 rpm for 19.5 h. The peaks corresponding to 30S, 50S and 70S were collected and the 70S ribosomes, or subunits, were pelleted further at 40,000 rpm for 22 h in a Beckman Ti70 rotor, or at 47,000 rpm for 20 h in a Beckman Ti70.1 rotor.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Wild type LH2 and ΔcrtB RC-LH1 proteins were purified as described previously [55 (link),56 (link)]. Briefly, cells were grown in 1.5 L M22+ medium [57 (link)] under semi aerobic conditions (in 2 L conical flasks shaken at 180 RPM at 34°C in darkness) for 72 h. Cells were harvested at 4,000 × g and broken via two passes through a French pressure cell (AmInCo, USA) at 18,000 psi, then unbroken cells and insoluble debris were removed by centrifugation at 25,000 × g for 15 min at 4°C. The supernatant was loaded onto a 40/15% w/w sucrose gradient and centrifuged at 100,000 × g for 10 h at 4°C in order to isolate the intracytoplasmic membranes (ICM). After harvesting, the ICMs were solubilised by addition of 3% (w/v) β-DDM for RC-LH1, or in 4% N,N-dimethyldodecylamine-N-oxide (LDAO) for LH2, stirring in the dark at 4°C for 45 min. The solubilized membrane solution was diluted at least three-fold in working buffer and centrifuged for 1 hour in a Beckman Ti 70.1 rotor at 48,000 rpm (160,000 × g) at 4°C to remove unsolubilized material. The supernatant was further purified by using ion-exchange chromatography and concentrated using Amicon 100,000 MWCO spin filters (Millipore) in 10 mM HEPES pH 7.8, 50 mM NaCl, 0.03% (w/v) β-DDM buffer.
