Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was conducted in an Invitrogen XCell SureLock using NativePAGE 3 to 12% bis-tris mini protein gels with 1X NativePAGE Anode Buffer and 1X NativePAGE Cathode Buffer. 5.2 μg of each sample was mixed with 4X NativePAGE sample buffer and then loaded onto the gel. Native PAGE was carried out at a constant voltage of 150 V for 1 hour followed by an additional 1 hour run at 250 V at 4°C. NativeMark Unstained Protein Standard was used as a protein ladder. After the run, gel was soaked in water to remove dye, and then stained with Coomassie Blue for protein detection.

The obtained MC-BMP2 was solubilized in 50 μL of distilled water (DW). One microliter of NuPAGE LDS buffer (4×) (Invitrogen; CA, USA) and 2.5 μL of NuPAGE reducing agent (10×) (Invitrogen; CA, USA) were added to 6.5 μL of MC-BMP2 solution. For the control, 1 μL of NuPAGE LDS buffer and 2.5 μL of NuPAGE with 500 mM dithiothreitol as reducing agent were added to 2 μL of native BMP2-OpgY (1 μg/μL) solution. Native BMP2-OpgY and MC-BMP2 were individually incubated at 70 °C for 15 min and then loaded onto a NuPAGE 4–12% Bis-Tris gel (Invitrogen; CA, USA), followed by electrophoresis at 200 mV using XCell SureLock (Invitrogen; CA, USA).

Protein concentration of 1% SDS (AppliChem, Leuven, Belgium) protein extracts sheared with a 27 G needle (Terumo, Leuven, Belgium) was determined using a bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay (Pierce, Aalst, Belgium). Proteins were separated on a 12.5% w/v SDS-polyacrylamide gel and transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (PVDF; BioRad) using an XCell SureLock electrophoresis system (Invitrogen). LEDGF-hybrids were detected using 1/2.000 polyclonal rabbit anti-LEDGF480–530 antibody (A300-848a; Bethyl Laboratories-Imtec Diagnostics N.V., Antwerpen, Belgium) and 1/5 000 secondary antibody (polyclonal goat anti-rabbit antibody coupled with horse radish peroxidase (HRP); Dako). Chemiluminescence was measured using a ECL plus western blotting detection kit (Amersham Biosciences, Roosendaal, The Netherlands). Equal loading was verified with a primary monoclonal antibody directed to α-tubulin (mouse, 1/10 000, 1 h at room temperature; T5168, Sigma-Aldrich) and secondary antibody in blocking buffer (1/10 000, polyclonal goat-anti mouse labelled with HRP; Dako). Visualization was done by chemiluminescence (Pierce ECL Western Blotting Substrate, Thermo scientific).

GPCs derived from CWRU22 and CWRU51 were sorted by FACS for CD140a at DIV160-200, directly into cell lysis buffer (NP40, Invitrogen, FNN0021) with protease inhibitor (Roche, 183617025) on ice. The insoluble fraction was removed by centrifugation at 12,000 g for 5 min at 4°C, and the supernatant analyzed for total protein with BCATM Protein Assay Kit (Thermo, 23227). 10 μg sample aliquots were separated on 4–12% gradient gels by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis (XCell SureLock, Invitrogen, 071210). Separated protein was transferred to PVDF membranes, which were blocked with 5% dry milk and incubated sequentially with a rabbit polyclonal anti-neurexin-1 antisera (Millipore, ABN161-1, 1:1000) at 4°C overnight, then washed and followed serially by a mouse monoclonal anti-β actin (Abcam, ab173838, 1:5000) at RT for 1h, and anti-mouse and anti-rabbit secondary antibodies (GE Healthcare, 95107-322 and 95107-328, 1:10000) at RT for 1h. Membranes were visualized by chemiluminescence (Mix ECLTM Reagent, GE Healthcare, RPN2236) through exposure of X-ray film. Experiments were repeated 3 times, with 3 different sets of cells.

Protein Sequencing of PVY and VLP

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PVY and VLP samples were analyzed under reducing conditions with SDS-PAGE using NuPAGE 4 to 12% bis-tris protein gel (Invitrogen). Wet electroblotting was carried out to transfer proteins from the gel to the polyvinylidene difluoride membrane. The transfer sandwich (filter paper–gel–membrane–filter paper) was placed into the transfer box (XCell SureLock, Invitrogen) at constant voltage of 30 V at 5°C for 60 min in NuPAGE transfer buffer with 10% methanol. After the transfer, the membrane was washed for 5 min in 50% methanol; then stained for 1 min in 0.1% Coomassie Blue R-250, 50% methanol, and 5% acetic acid; and then destained in 50% methanol until bands were visible. The membrane was left to air dry, and the protein bands were cut out and submitted for N-terminal Edman sequencing on Procise protein sequencing system 492A (PE Applied Biosystems at Jožef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia). Edman chemistry using pulsed-liquid blot was performed for preparation of phenylthiohydantoin amino acid derivatives. Analysis of the derivatives was performed on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system 140C (PE Applied Biosystems) using RP C18 column Spheri-5 (5 μm, 220 mm by 2.1 mm) (Brownlee).

Human insulin (control), a protein ladder (See Blue® Plus2 Pre-stained Protein Standard, Novex™ Thermo Fisher Scientific, UK), insulin released from both NP and PVA-borate hydrogels were placed in the wells of a NUPAGE® Bis-Tris 12% gel (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, UK) using a mini-cell electrophoresis system (X-cell Surelock™, Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, UK). Peptide samples (10 μl) were vortexed with 2.0 μl Laemmli buffer (60 mM Tris-Cl pH 6.8, 2% SDS, 10% glycerol, 5% β-mercaptoethanol and 0.01% bromophenol blue) and heated at 100 °C for 10 min. Electrophoresis was run at 200 V (~ 100 mA) until samples reached the bottom of the gel. A fixative solution of Coomassie blue dye was used to stain the gel followed by addition of a destaining solution of methanol/acetic acid/water (5:4:1 v/v), which visualised the peptide bands. GelDoc-It™ (UVP, Cambridge, UK) was used to photograph the gel and record band positions.

Native PAGE Analysis of Encapsulin Shells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analyses were conducted in an Invitrogen XCell SureLock using NativePAGE 3 to 12% bistris mini protein gels with 1× NativePAGE Anode Buffer and 1× NativePAGE Cathode Buffer. 850 fmol of encapsulin shells was loaded per lane to maintain equivalent amounts of shells across all lanes for comparative analysis. The number of shells was calculated as follows: # of shells = [protein concentration (mg/mL)]/[protomer Mw (g/mol) × # of protomer per shell]. Protein concentration was measured by A280 using Nanodrop, and absorption coefficient was calculated for each Dps_Enc based on the protomer sequence. Native PAGE gels were run at a constant voltage of 150 V for 1 h, followed by an additional 1 h run at 250 V at 4 °C. Gels were then stained, first with GelRed for nucleic acid visualization and then with Coomassie blue for protein detection. For eGFP_MxTP_Dps_MxT3, the gel was first exposed to UV light for eGFP visualization before staining with GelRed and Coomassie blue.
To quantify and compare the amount of RNA loaded in each Dps_Enc encapsulin, gel densitometry of GelRed-stained gels was carried out using Fiji/ImageJ v2.1.0/1.53c. Pixel intensities of bands were background subtracted, yielding final overall intensities per band for comparisons.

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.
