Lipidomic Analysis of Membrane Extracts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Identification of extracted membrane lipids and LPS was performed using a quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometer (Q-TOF Maxis, Bruker Daltonics, Germany) with an updated collision cell for electrospray ionization source. Metabolite identification was confirmed by the fragmentation of the detected parent ions. External phospholipid standards (choline, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidic acid, and tetracycline; Sigma Aldrich) were used to optimize the MS/MS-acquisition conditions. We used the following databases for lipid identification: LIPID MAPS database (LIPID MAPS Lipidomics Gateway, a free resource sponsored by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, USA; http://www.lipidmaps.org), Byrdwell G. Resources for Lipid Analysis in the twenty-first Century (http://www.byrdwell.com), Metlin (Scrips Center for Mass Spectrometry, USA; https://masspec.scripps.edu) and Galactosylceramides and Glucosylceramides (Cerebrosides) (http://www.lipidhome.co.uk/).

Reconstitution of Reaction Centers in Liposomes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RC-containing vesicles (proteoliposomes) were prepared according to Giustini et al. (2005) (link). Depending on the desired lipid in the sample, pure phosphatidylcholine (PC, 4.1 mg), phosphatidylglycerol (PG, 4.0 mg) or cardiolipin (CL, 4.0 mg) (all of maximum purity grade from Sigma) were dissolved in chloroform and dried under N 2 flow. Then the lipid film was resuspended in 5 mM KCl, 5 mM phosphate pH 7.0 buffer and sodium cholate 4% solution in the same buffer enough to reach a minimum ∼5 cholate/phospholipid molar ratio (in order to obtain uniform monodispersed mixed lipid-detergent micelles). After short sonication until clarity, RCs (dispersed in 10 mM TRIS, 100 mM NaCl, 0.01% DDAO, pH 8.0) were added to the suspension. Subsequent detergent removal by elution through a Sephadex G-50 (Pharmacia) column with 5 mM KCl, 5 mM phosphate pH 7.0 buffer led to RC-containing small unilamellar vesicles. Both the presence and concentration of RCs in the liposomes were checked by measurement of the 802 nm absorption band: in every experiment the RC concentration was constant in the (2.2 ± 0.2) μM range. Finally, the amount of UQ-10 necessary to reconstitute the Q B site at a minimum 0.90 occupancy fraction was added as aqueous solution in the presence of 30% TX-100, always checking for the slow phase fraction in the analysis of charge recombination measurements.

Analytical grade organic solvents used in this study along with HPTLC chromatography plates (20 × 10 and 10 × 10 cm silica gel 60 F254 glass plates) were obtained from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany). Copper sulfate heptahydrate, potassium chloride, orthophosphoric acid (85%, w/w), and sulfuric acid (96% w/w) were obtained from CarlRoth (Karlsruhe, Germany). Lipid standards, namely, phosphatidylcholine (PC 15:0–18:1), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE 15:0–18:1), phosphatidylinositol (PI 18:1–18:1), phosphatidylserine (PS 18:1–18:1), phosphatidylglycerol (PG 16:0–18:1), diacylglyceryl trimethyl-homoserin (DGTS 16:0–16:0), monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG 18:1–18:1), digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG 18:3–18:3 as main species), sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol (SQDG 18:3–16:0 as main species), eicosapentaenoic acid as a free fatty acid (FA), triolein as a triacylglycerol (TAG), di-oleic acid as a diacylglycerol (DAG), and monooleic acid as a monoacylglycerol (MAG), were purchased from Merck. The lipid standards were dissolved in n-hexane (p.a. ≥ 99%) and sonicated for 30 s. Stock solutions were prepared at a concentration of 1 mg mL−1 and aliquoted into 1.5-mL vials under a nitrogen stream, sealed, and stored at − 85 °C until analysis.

Quantitative Lipid Profiling by UHPLC-MS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The lipids were determined according to our method described earlier [25 (link)] using an ExionLC AC (Sciex, Framingham, MA, USA) UHPLC system and a 4500 Q-TRAP mass spectrometer equipped with an ESI source. A total of 10 µL of lipid extract was injected onto an Eclipse XDB-C18, 50 mm × 4.6 mm, 1.8 µm column (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA), heated at 40 °C, with the flow rate of 500 μL min−1. Ultrapure water (A) and methanol (B) were applied as a mobile phase, with both containing 5 mM ammonium formate. The solvent gradient was initiated at 70% B and, after 0.25 min, increased to 100% B for 1 min; then, it was maintained at 100% B for 6 min before being returning to the initial solvent composition over 2 min. The data analysis was conducted with Analyst v1.6.3 software (Sciex, Framingham, MA, USA). The phospholipids were determined qualitatively using an MRM method with the following standards for each class: phosphatidylethanolamine (PE 14:0/14:0; Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) and phosphatidylglycerol (PG 14:0/14:0; Merck, Darmstadt, Germany).

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.
