Phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride

Manufactured by Bio Basic
Sourced in United States

Phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) is a protease inhibitor commonly used in laboratory settings. It is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents. PMSF functions by irreversibly inhibiting a wide range of serine proteases, including trypsin, chymotrypsin, and thrombin, making it useful in preventing protein degradation during sample preparation and analysis.

Western blotting was performed, as described previously.[18 (link)] BMMs were incubated in the same manner as real-time PCR assays. The cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline and lysed in a lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, 1% Triton X-100, 1 mM sodium fluoride, 1 mM sodium vanadate, and 1% deoxycholate) supplemented with 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (Bio Basic Inc., Amherst, NY, USA). The lysates were centrifuged at 20,000×g for 13 min at 4℃ and the supernatant containing the proteins was collected. The proteins were subjected to 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Millipore Corporation, Billerica, MA, USA). The membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk for 1 hr at room temperature and incubated overnight at 4℃ with the primary antibody. They were then incubated with the secondary antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase for 2 hr at room temperature. The membranes were developed with CLAROTM Mucho (Bio-D, Gwangmyeong, Korea) using a LAS-4000 luminescent image analyzer (Fuji Photo Film Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan).

Transformed BL21 cells were cultured in Luria-Bertani (LB) broth (MB Cell, Los Angeles, CA, USA) containing 30 μg/mL of kanamycin (LPS solution, Daejeon, Korea) for 3 h at 37 °C, then incubated with 0.1 mM of Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) (Goldbio, St. Louis, MO, USA) at 18 °C overnight. After IPTG induction, cells were centrifuged and resuspended in lysis buffer containing 50 mM of Tris-HCl (Welgene, Daegu, Korea), 0.5 M of NaCl (Welgene), and 10 mM of imidazole (Biosesang, Seongnam, Korea) with 1 mM of phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (Biobasic, Toronto, ON, Canada). Cell suspension was lysed by sonication for 40 × 10 s with 10 s intervals on ice. The lysate was centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 30 min at 4 °C, and His-tagged Mx1-9R was purified by Ni-NTA resin (Incospharm, Daejeon, Korea). Then, purified Mx1-9R fusion proteins were desalted using Amicon Ultra-15 Centrifugal Filter Units (Millipore Sigma, Darmstadt, Germany). Supernatant, pellet, flow through, and eluent were separated by 8% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and the gel was stained with 0.05% Coomassie Blue R-250 (LPS solution). The amounts of recombinant proteins were quantified by Bradford assay or NanoDrop (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA) measurements.

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.
