Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To measure a hydrodynamic radius of eEF1Bα we used the Dynamic Light Scattering technique (DLS) and the Adaptive Correlation approach described in (22 (link)). DLS experiments were performed using a Zetasizer Nano ZS (Malvern Panalytical Ltd, UK) at 25°C with a scattering angle of 173° in air. All samples (1 ml) were measured in a 1 cm glass cuvette. Briefly, three measurements for each eEF1Bα concentration were done. Each measurement included 30 sub-measurements with duration time of 1, 2 and 3 s. The steady-state sub-measurements were analyzed using cumulants analysis. The correlation functions of the steady-state sub-measurements were averaged to report the hydrodynamic radius (Zave) and polydispersity index (PdI) values. Zave values were obtained for four different eEF1Bα concentrations. RH0 – a hydrodynamic radius of eEF1Bα at the infinite dilution was calculated from the plot of Zave versus eEF1Bα concentration by extrapolation to zero concentration.
Prior to the DLS measurements, eEF1Bα was subjected to gel filtration on a Sephacryl S200 column (GE Healthcare) equilibrated in buffer, containing 25 mM Tris–HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 5% glycerol (v/v) and 1 mM dithiothreitol. Fractions with the highest eEF1Bα concentration were centrifuged at 16 000 g for 2.5 hours at 10°C. Buffer was prepared using ultrapure deionized water, filtered (pore size 0.2 μm) and degassed.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All chemicals were obtained from Sigma unless stated otherwise. For autophagy flux experiments, Torin 1 (Enzo life sciences, NY, USA) and chloroquine were used at 1 μM and 50 μM, respectively. The Protein A/G sepharose reagent used for immunoprecipitation experiments was from Rockland Immunochemicals (Rockland, NY, USA). Mannose-capped lipoarabinomannan was purified from Mycobacterium bovis BCG, as previously reported [75 (link),76 (link)]. Briefly, cells were harvested, washed in PBS, and disrupted by French press in 8% (v/v) Triton X-114, 5 mM EDTA, and 10 mM MgCl2. After phase separation at 37 °C, lipoglycans were collected in the lower phase, precipitated by cold ethanol, and extracted by saturated phenol. ManLAM was then separated from other lipoglycans (lipomannan and phospho-inositol mannosides) by gel filtration on a Sephacryl S-200 column (GE Healthcare, Amersham, UK) irrigated with tris deoxycholate buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 10 mM EDTA, 0.2 M NaCl, 0.25% deoxycholate). The purity of the eluted fractions was assessed by 13% SDS-PAGE and staining for carbohydrates. The structural integrity of the lipoglycan was checked by multi-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy as previously described [76 (link)]. For immunofluorescence assays, DAPI (4′,6′ Di Amidino-2-Phényl Indole) and Prolong®Gold were obtained from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA).

pNgtS, pGH92 and pEndoD were transformed into the expression strain Escherichia coli BL21 Star (DE3). NgtS was expressed in 6 L yeast-tryptone broth overnight at 16°C with 0.5 mM isopropyl 1-thio-β-D-galactopyranoside (IPTG). Recombinant SpGH92 was produced via the autoinduction method [60 (link)] by incubating inoculated 1 L cultures at 37°C for 96 hours. EndoD was expressed at 37°C for 3 hours with 0.5 mM IPTG induction as described by Muramatsu et al. [20 (link)]. For all proteins, cells were harvested by centrifugation at 5000 × g for 10 minutes and ruptured by chemical lysis. The cleared supernatant of the cell lysate was loaded onto a Ni2+-NTA immobilized metal affinity chromatography column. Polypeptide was eluted with binding buffer (20 mM Tris, 500 mM NaCl, pH 8.0) containing increasing concentrations of imidazole (0–500 mM). Protein was concentrated and buffer-exchanged into 20 mM Tris, pH 8.0 in an Amicon stirred ultrafiltration unit (EMD Millipore Co.) with a 10,000 Da molecular weight cut-off membrane. NgtS was further purified by size exclusion chromatography using a Sephacryl S-200 column (GE Healthcare, Little Chalfont, UK) and concentrated again using an Amicon. Protein concentration was determined by UV absorbance at 280 nm using the calculated extinction coefficients of 60280 M−1 cm−1 for NgtS, 121295 M−1 cm−1 for SpGH92 and 221065 M-1 cm-1 for EndoD.

The crude extract prepared as described in Section “protein Determination” was fractionated by precipitation with 2.5% (v/v) trichloroacetic acid (TCA) final concentration, at 4°C and centrifuged at 14,000 × g, 4°C, 30 min. The clear supernatant obtained was dialyzed exhaustively against water (Milli-Q grade), lyophilized, and assayed for antitrypsin activity. The TCA fraction (30 mg) was dissolved in 0.050 M sodium phosphate buffer/0.2 M NaCl, pH 7.5 and applied to a trypsin-Sepharose 4B column (11.5 cm × 2.2 cm) equilibrated with the above buffer. After complete removal of the non-retained proteins with the equilibrating buffer, the proteins bound to the immobilized trypsin were eluted with 0.1 M HCl, dialyzed exhaustively against water (Milli-Q grade) and lyophilized. This material (2 mg) was loaded on a Sephacryl S-200 column connected to an ÄKTA-Prime System (GE Healthcare) previously equilibrated and eluted with 0.050 M sodium phosphate buffer/0.2 M NaCl, pH 7.5. Fractions (1 mL) were eluted at the flow rate of 0.5 mL/min and the protein fractions obtained evaluated for trypsin inhibitory activity as described before. The purified trypsin inhibitor was named JcTI-I (J. curcas Trypsin Inhibitor I).

A solution of B800-depleted
LH2 in a mixed buffer of 20 mM Tris and 10 mM succinate containing
0.1% DDM (pH 8.0) was mixed with 1/100 volume of a methanol solution
of AcChl a or BChl a, followed by
incubation at 35 °C for 2 h in the dark. The sample was concentrated
by ultrafiltration using Amicon centricon concentrators (30 kDa cutoff,
Merk Millipore Ltd.) and was loaded onto a Sephacryl-S200 column (GE
Healthcare) in 20 mM Tris buffer containing 0.1% DDM and 150 mM NaCl
(pH 8.0). LH2 proteins collected were desalted by ultrafiltration
using Amicon centricon concentrators (30 kDa cutoff, Merk Millipore
Ltd.). LH2 proteins, which are reconstituted with AcChl a and BChl a, are hereafter denoted as AcChl-reconstituted
LH2 and BChl-reconstituted LH2, respectively.
The occupancy
of AcChl a in the B800 sites in AcChl-reconstituted
LH2 was estimated from electronic absorption spectra of extracted
chlorophyllous pigments in the Qy region
in methanol, as reported elsewhere.19 (link) The
occupancy of BChl a in the B800 sites in BChl-reconstituted
LH2 was estimated by comparing Qy absorbance
of B800 BChl a in BChl-reconstituted LH2 with that
in native LH2.19 (link)
