CDR lengths were derived based on IMGT definitions61 (link). Structural figures were made using PyMOL v2.3 (Schrödinger, LLC) or ChimeraX v0.962 (link). Buried surface areas (BSAs) were calculated using PDBePISA63 (link) and a 1.4 Å probe. Potential hydrogen bonds were assigned using the geometry criteria with separation distance of <3.5 Å and A-D-H angle of >90°. The maximum distance allowed for a potential van der Waals interaction was 4.0 Å. Protein surface electrostatic potentials were calculated in PyMOL v2.3 (Schrödinger LLC). Briefly, hydrogens were added to proteins using PDB2PQR64 (link), and an electrostatic potential map was calculated using APBS65 (link). Epitopes for antibodies in Fig. 3 were identified as gp120 residues containing an atom within 4 Å of an antibody as calculated in PyMOL v2.3 (Schrödinger, LLC).

Sequences were obtained from Uniprot and the LIR-central database (Chatzichristofi et al., 2023 (link)). AF2-multimer was used with MMseqs2 through Google Colab (https://colab.research.google.com/github/sokrypton/ColabFold/blob/main/AlphaFold2.ipynb#scrollTo=UGUBLzB3C6WN). The top ranked structure was relaxed using AMBER and examined using Pymol V2.4.1 (Pymol V2.4.1, Schrödinger, LLC). Predicted LDDT (pLDDT) per residue was estimated by pLDDT metric output by AF2 as a metric of model confidence. pLDDT scores were colored in pymol using the Pymol extension Color AlphaFold (https://github.com/cbalbin-bio/pymol-color-alphafold).

n-crPTEN-13sp-T1, 4p-crPTEN-13sp-T2 and 4p-crPTEN-20sp-T3 data were collected at National Synchrotron Light Source-II at beamlines 17-ID-1(AMX) on a DECTRIS Eiger X 9M detector and 17-ID-2 (FMX) on a DECTRIS Eiger X 16M detector. n-crPTEN-13sp-T1, 4p-crPTEN-13sp-T2 were collected using a vector over the length of the crystal. 4p-crPTEN-20sp-T3 data were collected using crystals ranging in sizes from 10-13 μm using multiple crystals mounted in a single loop55 . Three data sets were scaled using XSCALE with a resolution cut-off criterion was 〈I/σ(I)〉 of 2.9 Å. Datasets were indexed, integrated and scaled using fastdp56 (link), XDS57 (link), and aimless58 (Table S1). The structure for the n-crPTEN-13sp-T1, 4p-crPTEN-13sp-T2 and 4p-crPTEN-20sp-T3 were determined by direct refinement using PDB ID 1D5R 59 as the starting model. The data were refined using iterative rounds of refinement with REFMAC560 ,61 (link) and manual rebuilding in Coot62 (link). Structures were validated using Coot62 (link) and PDB Deposition tools with more than 95 % of residues in preferred and allowed regions according to Ramachandran statistics (Table S1). Figures were rendered in PyMOL (v2.2.3, Schrödinger, LLC, New York, NY). Buried areas were calculated with PDBePISA63 (link).

Bioinformatic analysis of xylanase XynRA2 from Roseithermus sacchariphilus

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The gene sequence of putative xylanase (GenBank: ARA92359.1) was extracted from the complete genome of R. sacchariphilus RA (GenBank: CP020382.1) [20 (link),21 (link)]. The mature xylanase gene was designated as xynRA2. The protein sequence similarity was assessed using NCBI BLASTp program (https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi). Multiple sequence alignments were performed using Clustal Omega (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/msa/clustalo/). A phylogenetic tree of XynRA2 with its closest homologs was constructed with the neighbor-joining algorithm using MEGA v7.0 software [59 (link)] with a bootstrap value of 1000. The signal peptide sequence was predicted using SignalP v4.1 (http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/SignalP/). Conservative domains were identified using InterPro. The homology model of XynRA2 was performed using SWISS-MODEL (https://swissmodel.expasy.org/) with an evolved CBM of Xyn10A from R. marinus (PDB: 3JXS) [60 (link)] and GH10 xylanase (XynB) from Xanthomonas axonopodis pv citri (PDB: 4PN2) complexed with xylotriose as a template [61 (link)]. The predicted model and its surface electrostatic potential were assessed using APBS plugin in PyMOL (v2.2.3, Schrödinger Inc., New York, NY, USA).

Structural Characterization of p53R175H-HLA-A*02:01 Complex

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Crystals of the ternary complex H2-Fab–p53R175H/HLA-A*02:01 were grown by vapor diffusion in hanging drops set up with a TTP mosquito robot with a reservoir solution of 0.2 M ammonium chloride and 20% (w/v) PEG 3350 MME. Crystals were flash-cooled in mother liquor. Data were collected at National Synchrotron Light Source-II at beamlines 17-ID-1(AMX) on a Dectris EIGER X 16M detector. The dataset was indexed, integrated, and scaled using fastdp (67 (link)), XDS (68 (link)), and aimless (69 (link)). Monoclinic crystals of H2-Fab–p53R175H/HLA-A*02:01 diffracted to 3.5 Å. The structure for the H2-Fab-p53R175H/HLA-A*02:01 complex was determined by molecular replacement with PHASER (70 (link)) using PDB ID 6O4Y (71 (link)) and 6UJ9 as the search models. The data were refined to a final resolution of 3.5 Å using iterative rounds of refinement with REFMAC5 (72 (link), 73 (link)) and manual rebuilding in Coot (74 (link)). Structures were validated using Coot and PDB Deposition tools. The model has 95.2% of the residues in preferred and 3.8% in allowed regions according to Ramachandran statistics (table S4). Figures were rendered in PyMOL (v2.2.3, Schrödinger, LLC). Buried areas were calculated with PDBePISA (37 (link)). The docking angle that determines the relative orientation between the pHLA and the Fab/TCR was calculated by the web server TCR3d (75 (link), 76 (link)).

To identify the HEPN domain within Tha, the HHpred web-server was used (https://toolkit.tuebingen.mpg.de/tools/hhpred, version 57c8707149031cc9f8edceba362c71a3762bdbf8). To analyse the structure of Tha-1, AlphaFold226 (link) and ColabFold v1.5.227 (link) were used to generate a model for the structure of the Tha-1-Tha-1 homodimer. The structure was analysed, and images were generated by PyMOL v2.5.4 (Schrödinger). The DALI web server (accessed 27 March 2023)28 (link) searches against PDB90 (a collection of representative structures with less than 90% sequence identity from the PDB database) were performed for the truncated dimer (164–301).

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.
