The ZnLS complexes were formed by mixing a solution of ZnSO4⋅ H2O (Merck) and the suitable amount of LS to complex Zn, calculated based on their maximum complexing capacity (Table 1). In order to ensure that all the quantity of element is complexed, an amount of 10% LS was added in excess. Solutions were left to stand overnight, filtered through 0.45 μm Millipore membrane and made up to volume.
For the preparation of the ZnEDTA solution, Na2EDTA (Merck) was dissolved in sufficient NaOH (1:3 molar ratio) and an amount of ZnSO4⋅ H2O (Merck) calculated to be 5% in excess of the molar amount of ligand was then slowly added. During the chelation process, pH was maintained between 6.0 and 8.0. The solution was left to stand overnight, filtered through 0.45 μm Millipore membrane and made up to volume.

The 27-residue peptides Z* and Z*(C34A, H39A), corresponding to the fragment 25–51 of human ZNF750 (UniProt Q32MQ0), were synthesized by AAPPTec (Louisville, KY). Both peptides had their termini blocked by N-acetylation and C-amidation, were ≥90% pure by HPLC, and had molecular weights by mass spectrometry within 3 Daltons of those theoretically expected. ZnSO4·H2O (purity of ≥99.9%) was from Sigma (St. Louis, MO).

A total of 0.1 M stock solutions of Cu(II) and Zn(II) (from CuSO4.5(H2O) and ZnSO4(H2O), respectively, purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA)) were prepared in ultrapure water. Phosphate buffer was bought from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA) and dissolved in ultrapure water to reach a 0.1 M concentration. Bioluminescence grade HEPES buffer (sodium salt of 2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazin-1-yl]ethanesulfonic acid) was bought from Honeywell Fluka (Morristown, NJ, USA) and dissolved in ultrapure water to reach a 0.5 M concentration. Tris hydrochloride (Tris-HCl) was purchased from Fluka and dissolved in ultrapure water to reach 1 M concentration, and was adjusted with NaOH to pH 11.0. Guanidinium chloride >99% was bought from Alfa Aesar (Haverhill, MA, USA) and was freshly prepared by dissolving the powder in Tris-HCl 0.1 M to reach a 6 M concentration. A 5 mM ascorbate solution was freshly prepared a few minutes prior to each experimental set by dissolving sodium L-ascorbate (Sigma) in ultrapure water. Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and dissolved in ultrapure water to reach a 40 mM concentration. A stock solution of Thioflavin T (ThT) at 250 μM was prepared in water without any further purification, with ThT bought from Acros Organics (Waltham, MA, USA).

Reagents were commercially available and were used as received.
Hepes buffer (sodium salt of 2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazin-1-yl]ethanesulfonic acid) was bought from Fluka (bioluminescence grade).
Phosphate buffer was prepared from K2HPO4 and KH2PO4 bought from Fluka.
The Cu(ii) and Zn(ii) sources were Zn(SO4)(H2O) and Cu(SO4)(H2O)5 and purchased from Sigma.
A stock solution (5 mM) of ascorbate was prepared in Milli-Q water at room temperature just before beginning the experiment. Because ascorbate degrades quickly, a fresh solution was prepared each day.
A stock solution of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (CCA, 5 mM) was prepared in phosphate buffer (500 mM, pH 7.1) at room temperature. The stock solution was stored at 4 °C.
A stock solution of Thioflavin T (ThT) at 250 μM was prepared in water without any further purification with ThT bought from Acros Organics.

ZnSO4•H2O (purity ≥ 99.9%) was from Sigma (St. Louis, MO). 99.96% D2O was from Cambridge Isotopes (Tewksbury, MA), and 4-nintophenyl acetate (4-NA) was from Sigma (St Louis, MO). The 27-residue Z7 peptide with the WT sequence, corresponding to the fragment 562–588 of human ZNF711 (UniProt Q9Y462), was custom synthesized at 96% HPLC purity by Biomatik (Kitchener, Canada). The Mut1 peptide was synthesized at 96% purity by AAPPTec (Louisville, KY) and Mut2 was made at 86% purity by Biomatik. All three peptides had their termini blocked by N-acetylation and C-amidation and had molecular weights by mass spectrometry within 1 Dalton of those theoretically expected from the sequence. Peptide concentrations were determined by absorption at 280 nm (A280) using a molar extinction coefficient of 1,559 M−1 cm−1 for the unfolded Z7 in the absence of Zn2+. The peptide concentration to determine the extinction coefficient was determined with a BCA assay (Walker 2002 ). The value for the unfolded peptide is very close to that of 1,490 M−1 cm−1 predicted from its sequence with the ProtParam program (Gasteiger et al. 2005 ). For folded ZNF711 in the presence of Zn2+, we determined an A280 extinction coefficient of 2,383 M−1 cm−1.

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.
