For H6-small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO), LB Amp/Cam + 0.1% glucose (10 mL) was inoculated with E. coli Rosetta transformed with pET-SUMO (Thermo Fischer Scientific) and incubated at 37°C ON. A 4 mL-fraction of the preculture was added to 400 mL LB Amp/Cam + 0.1% glucose that was incubated at 37°C until OD600nm = 0.6. Expression of SUMO was induced by the addition of 0.1 mM IPTG. The culture was further incubated at 37°C for 2.5 h and centrifuged at 3000 × g for 15 min at 4°C. The pellet was resuspended in 10 mL of lysis buffer 20 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.4, 0.5 M NaCl, 20 mM imidazole, 1/100 protease inhibitor cocktail set III (Calbiochem). The bacteria in suspension were lysed with several 30 s-long sonication pulses using the apparatus Labsonic 2000 (Braun). Lysates were centrifuged at 20,000 × g at 4°C. The supernatant was filtrated through the filter Millex GV, 0.22 uM, and loaded onto the column HisTrap 1 mL (GE Healthcare). H6-SUMO was eluted with the lysis buffer supplemented with 0.5 M imidazole, dialyzed against PBS, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and kept at -80°C.

To express recombinant Rrp2 (rRrp2) from E. coli, codon-optimized rrp2 was PCR amplified from the plasmid pBAD-rrp2OP+ (Burtnick et al., 2007 (link)) (kindly provided by Julie Boylan) using primers 151F and 151R. Purified DNA was cloned into the expression vector pET SUMO (ThermoFisher Scientific) via TA cloning. The resultant construct pOY131 was then transformed into the expression host strain BL21(DE3). To induce protein expression, E. coli was grown in LB medium at 37°C. When growth reached an OD600 value of ~0.6, the expression of rRrp2 was induced by 1 mM IPTG for 15h at 16°C. After induction, cells were collected through centrifugation. Pellets were lysed by sonication, and protein was purified by using Ni-NTA agarose (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) under native conditions according to the manufacturer’s instruction. Eluted protein was then buffer exchanged into Buffer A (20 mM HEPES, 100 mM NaCl, 100 mM L-Arginine, pH 6.5) using an Amicon ultra centrifugal filter unit (EMD Millipore). Concentrated protein solution was loaded onto a Superdex 200 10/300 GL column connected with an ÄKTA FPLC system (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Marlborough, MA) previously equilibrated in Buffer A. Protein fractions were collected and analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Concentration of protein was determined by using a Pierce BCA protein assay kit (ThermoFisher).

Coding sequences of mature proteins without signal peptide were amplified with primers listed in Table S2 and cloned into expression vector pETSUMO (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Massachusetts, USA). Correctness of the resulting constructs pETSUMO-ChElp2 and pETSUMO-Vd2LysM were confirmed by DNA sequencing and introduced into E. coli strains BL21 and Origami, respectively. Both proteins were produced at 28°C with 0.2 mM IPTG. Cell culture was pelleted by centrifugation at 4000 g for 40 min at 4°C, and the pellet was resuspended in 20 mL lysis buffer (Table S2), shaken at 4°C for at least two hours and centrifuged at 10,000 g for 1 h. The supernatant was collected and purified using His60 Ni Superflow resin (TaKaRa, California, USA) on a BioLogic LP system (Bio-Rad, California, USA). The resulting protein was dialyzed 3 L of 20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 5 % glycerol, pH 8.0 while 5 µL of cleavage protein ULP1 was added into the dialysis membrane to cleave-off the 6×His-SUMO tag. Next day, protein solution was collected and subjected to purification using His60 Ni Superflow resin (TaKaRa, California, USA) to remove 6×His-SUMO tag from the protein preparations. Eventually, LysM proteins were dissolved in 20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 5% glycerol, pH 8.0 and concentrated to a high concentration.

A construct coding for mCherry-tagged human Shank2a was obtained from Dr. Simone Berkel (Heidelberg, Germany) [29] . The Shank2a cDNA was cloned into the pHAGE-GFP vector for transfecting neurons. A rat cDNA for CortBP1 (Shank2b), donated by Dr. J. Thomas Parsons (University of Virginia) was cloned into pEGFP-C2, leading to expression of N-terminally GFP-tagged Shank2b. cDNA coding for GKAP was obtained from Prof. Stefan Kindler (UKE, Hamburg). Mutations were introduced using the QuikChange II site-directed mutagenesis kit (Agilent). cDNA coding for the 50 C-terminal residues of GKAP was amplified by PCR with appropriate primers and subcloned into BamHI/EcoRI sites of pGEX-4T2, allowing for expression as a GST fusion. For expression of the Shank2-SAM domain, cDNA coding for residues T1780-R1849 was cloned into pET-SUMO (Thermo-Fisher), allowing for expression of a SUMO-SAM fusion with an N-terminal His 6 -tag. A cDNA-fragment coding for SH3 to PDZ domains of Shank2 (R520-D727) was cloned into pET-SUMO. shRNA constructs were generated in pSuper based on constructs used by Berkel et al. [29] carrying target sequences GGATAAACCGGAAGAGAT (shShank2#1) and GGAATTGAGCAAAGAGATT (shShank2#2). A construct coding for rat Homer1b with an N-terminal GFP-tag in pEGFP-C1 was described [30] .

The lysate was clarified by centrifugation at 50,000× g for 30 min and the supernatant was applied on a HisTrap HP nickel column (1 mL, GE Healthcare), eluting the protein with 250 mM imidazole in buffer E. Then, the purified protein was dialyzed overnight against buffer B and the SUMO protease was used to remove the SUMO protein. A further purification step was carried out by size exclusion chromatography, using a HiLoad 16/60 Superdex-75 column (GE Healthcare) in buffer D, obtaining the purified FtsA that was concentrated to 5 mg/mL and stored at −80 °C.

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.
