Roles of functional and structural domains of hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor type 1 in the inhibition of matriptase.
J. Biol. Chem.
283
,
2478–2487
.
|
| |
Notes:
The authors determined the role of various domains of the hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor type 1 (HAI-1) in the inhibition of the protease matriptase. HAI-1 mutants lacking one or more domains were expressed as His-tagged fusion proteins in CHO-K1 or COS-1 cells, and proteins were purified using the HisLink™ Protein Purification Resin. Purified proteins were then used in protease assays with recombinant matriptase.

Alternative splicing affecting the SH3A domain controls the binding properties of intersectin 1 in neurons.

,

.
|
| |
Notes:
The authors examined protein interactions between splice variants of the SH3A domain of intersection 1 (ITSN1) and the main ITSN1 protein partners using protein pull-down assays. In one set of pull-down assays, SH3A splice variants were expressed as polyhistidine-tagged proteins, and the proline-rich domain of dynamin 1, a known ITSN1 protein partner, was expressed as a glutathione-S-transferase (GST) fusion protein. In a second set of experiments, the SH3A domain variants were expressed as GST-fusion proteins, immobilized, then used to capture endogenous dynamin 1, SOS1, c-Cbl and Cbl-b from cell lysates. Recombinant GST-fusion proteins were purified using glutathione-Sepharose® 4B or the HisLink™ Protein Purification Resin. Based on the data, the authors concluded that alternative splicing of ITSN1 can change the binding properties and its protein partners.

Endotoxin-binding proteins modulate the susceptibility of bacterial endotoxin to deacylation by acyloxyacyl hydrolase.
J. Biol. Chem.
282
,
7877–7884
.
|
| |
Notes:
The authors examined the deacylation activity of acyloxyacyl hydrolase (AOAH) against a protein:lipooligosaccharides (LOS) complex. A soluble, truncated form of endotoxin-binding protein CD14 (sCD14) was expressed with a hexapolyhistidine tag from a baculovirus vector in High Five insect cells and used to form [3H]LOS:protein complexes. These complexes were incubated with AOAH for 4 hours, then purified using the HisLink™ Protein Purification Resin. The degree of deacylation of the LOS was determined using liquid scintillation spectroscopy. No imidazole was used in the binding buffer or rinses. The buffer did contain 0.1% bovine serum albumin.

Two regulatory steps of ER-stress sensor Ire1 involving its cluster formation and interaction with unfolded proteins.
J. Cell Biol.

.
|
| |
Notes:
The authors examined the mechanism by which the signal transducer Ire1 senses the accumulation of unfolded proteins during endoplasmic reticulum stress. The authors tested the hypothesis that the core stress-sensing region (CSSR) of Ire1 binds to unfolded proteins by monitoring the ability of purified CSSR and mutant CSSRs to prevent aggregation of denatured firefly luciferase and porcine citrate synthase. CSSR and CSSR mutants were expressed as maltose-binding protein fusions or His8-tagged proteins; the His8-CSSR was expressed in BL21(DE3) cells and purified using HisLink™ Protein Purification Resin. Cell pellets from 400ml cultures were resuspended in 15ml of E. coli lysis buffer (50mM Hepes, pH 8.0, 300mM KCl,
5mM MgCl2, 10mM imidazole, 1% Triton X-100, 2mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 0.4mg/ml benzamidine, 0.4mg/ml pepstatin A, 0.4mg/ml leupeptin, 0.3mg/ml lysozyme and 14U/ml DNase I), then disrupted by ultrasonication. Lysates were clarified by centrifugation and incubated with 0.5ml of HisLink™ Resin for 12 hours. The resin was packed into an 8mm-diameter column and sequentially washed with 1) 50mM Hepes (pH 8.0), 1M KCl, 5mM MgCl2, and 0.1% Triton-X 100; 2) 50mM Hepes, 300mM KCl, 5mM MgCl2, 0.1% Triton X-100, and 20mM imidazole; 3) 50mM Hepes, 300mM KCl, 5mM MgCl2, 0.1% Triton X-100, and 40mM imidazole; 4) 50mM Hepes, 300mM KCl, 5mM MgCl2, 0.1% Triton X-100, and 60mM imidazole; 5) 50mM Hepes, 300mM KCl, 5mM MgCl2, and 10mM ATP; and finally 20mM Hepes, 100mM KCl, 5mM MgCl2, and 50% (vol/vol) glycerol. Bound proteins were eluted with 50mM Hepes, 100mM KCl, 5mM MgCl2, 200mM imidazole and 50% (vol/vol) glycerol.

Notes:
The authors characterized a cell-wall degrading enzyme, endo-ß-1,4-D-xylanase (XYL-6), from the rice pathogen Magnaporthe grisea. Recombinant XYL-6 with a His6 tag was expressed in Pichia pastoris. A 1-liter culture of electrotransformed Pichia cells was grown at a density (OD600) of 2U at 30°C for 3 days. After induction, culture medium containing secreted proteins was concentrated to 100ml, and the polyhistidine-tagged protein was purified by nickel-chelate affinity column chromatography using the HisLink™ Protein Purification Resin.

Notes:
The inner membrane protein 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose transferase (ArnT) catalyzes the final step in the polymyxin-resistance pathway in S. typhimurium and Escherichia coli. The authors expressed and purified ArnT as a His6-tagged protein in E. coli. Briefly, 2 liters of cells expressing ArnT were grown overnight and induced for 3 hours with 1mM IPTG. A French press and pressure cell were used to lyse cells, and the membrane fraction was pelleted using a high-speed centrifugation. Membrane proteins were extracted using 1% dodecylmaltoside, followed by another high-speed centrifguation. The solubilized membrane fraction was passed through a 3ml Q-Sepharose® column. The flowthrough was incubated with 1ml of HisLink™ Protein Purification Resin overnight with gentle mixing. The HisLink™ Resin was washed with a wash buffer containing 10mM imidazole, and the ArnT protein was eluted in a two-step elution using an elution buffer with 100mM and 200mM imidazole. The Q-Sepharose® column was added to the protein purification scheme to eliminate the copurification of E. coli elongation factor Ef-Tu, which contains a cluster of histidine residues and can bind to the HisLink™ Resin if not previously removed.

Notes:
The role of various Neisseria meningitidis serotype B [NMB lipooligosaccharides (LOS)] in TLR4-dependent cell activation was investigated. A known protein binding partner, myeloid differentiation protein 2 (MD-2), was expressed in a baculovirus system with a 6X-His tag and the insect medium incubated with purified hexa-, penta-, and tetra-acylated endotoxins metabolically labeled with [3H] or [14C] acetate. These complexes (containing 0.2–1ng of radiolabeled LOS) were then incubated for 1 hour at 25°C with 100µl of HisLink™ Protein Purification Resin. After the incubation, the resin was centrifuged, the supernatant removed and the resin washed 3–4 times in 500µl PBS containing 5mM imidazole before elution with 2% SDS. The presence of radiolabeled LOS was evaluated by liquid scintillation spectroscopy and results were expressed as the percentage of LOS captured.

Notes:
To learn more about the molecular mechanism of thermostability of sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) from Halothermothrix orenii, the gene was cloned in the pTrcHisA expression vector by PCR, transformed into E. coli and induced for 4 hours with 1mM IPTG. The cells were lysed by sonication and freeze/thaw cycles, and the bacterial lysate was cleared by centrifugation. The HisLink™ Protein Purification Resin was added to the cleared lysate and incubated for 1 hour with gentle agitation. The mixture was transferred to a chromatography column and washed with at least 50 column volumes of 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 500mM NaCl, 10mM imidazole. Recombinant SPS was eluted in 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 100mM NaCl, 500mM imidazole and the imidazole removed by diafiltration. The purified protein was then allowed to crystallize and used for X-ray diffraction to determine structure.
