In order to obtain the nanA from S.
pneumoniae
strain DSM20566, primer pair NA_116aaNdeI_fw
(5’-TGCACGACATATGGAAAATGTC-3’) and
NA_Cter_XhoI_rv
(5’-TCAAATCTCGAGAATTCTTCTCT-3’) were
applied to amplify this gene. The NdeI/XhoI double-digested PCR product was then
ligated to the E. coli expression vector pET-28a. The
constructed plasmid encodes an N-terminal 6× His-tagged 886aa protein. A
150 mL E. coli culture of BL21(DE3)/pTNA20566-116aa was used to
synthesize the enzyme. Gene expression was induced by IPTG at a final
concentration of 0.5 mM after a 4 h initial cultivation at 37°C. The
broth was further incubated overnight at 25°C before harvested by
centrifugation. Cell pellet was subjected to B-PER Protein Extraction Reagents
(Thermoscientific) for lysis and protein release. N-terminal His-tagged NanA was
purified via HisPur Cobalt Spin Column (Thermoscientific) and desalted by Pierce
Concentrators PES 30K MWCO. Protein sample was stored in a 50% glycerol solution
at -20°C.

The pET28a-EGFP-CNA35 DNA construct purchased from Addgene was described before [34] .
The procedures for expression and purification of the EGFP-CNA35 protein has been detailed in our previous publications [49] . In brief, the DNA construct was transformed into BL21(DE3) competent E. Coli, and the protein expression was induced by Isopropyl β-D-1thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) in liquid culture at room temperature (~25ºC). After lysis of the bacterial pellets in B-Per protein extraction reagents (Thermo), the 6xHis-tagged EGFP-CNA35 protein was pulled down by HisPur Ni-NTA agarose resin (Thermo), and purified by nickel chelation chromatography. The purified protein solution was examined by 10% SDS-PAGES (sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) and Coomassie Blue staining, which showed only one major band with molecular size of ~60 kD (Fig. S1C). The protein concentration was determined by Bradford Protein Assay Kit (Thermo).
To label COL, purified EGFP-CNA35 protein was incubated with COL solution at a mass ratio of 1:20 on ice for 10-15 min, followed by neutralization with a basic solution and further mixing with Matrigel solution for gel formation at 37ºC.

Example 6

In preparation for protein expression at a volume of 50 mL, a preculture of 5 mL LB medium (Carl Roth GmbH, Karlsruhe) was first treated with the corresponding antibiotic and cells of each strain were taken from the agar plate and transferred into the preculture by means of an inoculating loop The preculture was then incubated for 16 h at 37° C. and 150 rpm. The main culture was taken from the preculture and inoculated with 50 mL LB medium (Carl Roth GmbH, Karlsruhe) and the corresponding antibiotic, so that the optical density at 600 nm as 0.1. The main culture was then incubated at 37° C. and 150 rpm until an optical density of 0.4-0.8 at 600 nm was reached. At this time 1 mM of isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside was added for inducing the protein expression and the culture was incubated at 22° C. for an additional 16 h. The main culture was then centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 min in order to obtain the cell pellet and then to be able to perform the protein extraction and cleaning. To this end, the cell disruption was first performed using the B-PER protein extraction reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bonn) according to the manufacturers instructions. The cell lysate thus obtained was then either used directly or processed by means of a 1 mL HisPur Ni-NTA chromatography column (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bonn) according to the manufacturers instructions.

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.
