Project description:Samples were reduced by the addition of TCEP (25 mM final concentration) and incubated at 37 ºC for 10 min. Alkylation was carried out by the addition of iodoacetamide (25 mM final concentration) and incubated at RT for 1 h in the dark. Samples were then digested by the addition of 1:50 LysC (Wako, Japan) in 100 mM triethylammonium bicarbonate (TEAB) followed by incubation at 37 ºC for 6h and then addition of 1:50 trypsin (Thermo) followed by incubation at 37 ºC overnight. The efficiency of sample digestion efficiency was assessed by MS (LTQ XL, Thermo). The samples were then vacuum-dried and resuspended in 100 mM TEAB (100 µL). Samples were then incubated in their respective Tandem Mass Tag™ (TMT) 10-plex reagents (Thermo) for 1 h at RT with agitation. Reactions were quenched by the addition of 5% hydroxylamine for 15 min and each set of samples (treated and vehicle) were pooled in the same tube and dried overnight. The TMTTM-labelled samples were dried and kept at -85 ºC until further analysis.

Briefly, in a typical preparation, 8x106 cells (grown in Schneider medium plus 10% fetal calf serum; GIBCO-BRL) were pelleted and resuspended in 1,5 mL cold PBS1X; the cell suspension is then tranferred to a microfuge tube. Cells are pelleted for 10 seconds and resuspended in 400 M-5L cold Buffer A (10mM HEPES-KOH pH 7.9 at 4M-0C, 1.5mM MgCl2, 10mM KCl, 0.5mM duthiothreitol, 0.2mM PMSF, 0.2U/microL RNasin). The cells are allowed to swell on ice for 10 minutes, and then vortexed for 10 seconds. Samples are centrifuged for 10 seconds, and the supernatant fraction is discarded. The pellet is resuspended in 100 M-5L of cold Buffer C (20mM HEPES-KOH pH 7.9, 25% glycerol, 420mM NaCl, 1.5mM MgCl2, 0.2mM EDTA, 0.5mM dithiothreitol, 0.2mM PMSF) and incubated on ice for 20 min for high-salt extraction. Cellular debris is removed by centrifugation for 2 min at 4M-0C and the supernatant fraction is stored at M-^V70M-0C. All buffers were prepared from double-distilled autoclaved water that had been treated with 0.1% DEPC (Sigma).<br><br>RNA immunoprecipitation and Reverse Transcription<br><br>For RNA immunopreciptation, the nuclear extract was incubated whit 50M-5g of monoclonal C1A9 anti HP1 antibody and the mixture was kept at 4M-0C overnight under continuous gentle movement.

Project description:We sequenced pollen DNA from Col x Ler F1 hybrid plants using Nanopore long-read sequencing and identified crossover sites with COmapper. To purify pollen grains from F1 hybrid plants and extract their genomic DNA, whole inflorescences of hybrid plants were collected and transferred to ice-cold 10% (w/v) sucrose in a 50-ml tubes. Flowers were homogenized with a blender (Tefal, BL3051KR), filtered through 80-μm nylon mesh, and centrifuged at 350g for 10 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was discarded and the pellet was resuspended in 10% (w/v) sucrose, filtered through a 40-μm cell strainer, and centrifuged at 100g for 10 min at 4°C. The purified pellet was frozen in liquid nitrogen and ground with a mortar and pestle. The pellet powder was resuspended in CTAB buffer (1% [w/v] CTAB, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 0.7 M NaCl, 10 mM EDTA). Proteinase K (NEB, P8107S) and RNase A (20 mg/ml, Roche, 10109142001) were added to a final concentration of 80 U/ml and 20 μg/ml, respectively. To check pollen disruption, a 1-μl sample was diluted in a 1:10 ratio with 10% (w/v) sucrose and observed under a stereomicroscope (Leica, M165 FC). Then, 500 μl of the resuspended pellet was transferred to a 1.5-ml tube, to which an equal volume of 25:24:1 (v/v/v) phenol:chloroform:isoamylalcohol (Sigma, 77617) was added, and the mixture was homogenized by gentle manual shaking. The tube was centrifuged at 15,000g for 10 min at 4°C, and 400 μl of supernatant was transferred into a new tube, to which a Nanobind disk (Nanobind® Plant Nuclei Kit RT, PacBio, 102-302-000) was added. The tube containing the Nanobind disk was gently mixed, 400 μl isopropanol was added, and the tube was slowly inverted and incubated for 2 h at room temperature on a rotator set at 7 rpm. A magnetic rack (DynaMagTM-2, Invitrogen, 12321D) was used to separate the disk and the supernatant, and the supernatant was removed. PW1 buffer in the Nanobind Plant Nuclei Kit was used for washing the disk twice and the supernatant was removed completely by centrifugation. Then, 150 μl EB+ buffer was added onto the disc and gently tabbed and incubated overnight at room temperature. The supernatant was transferred to a new 1.5-ml tube and stored at −20°C. The DNA was quantified using a Qubit dsDNA Broad Range assay kit (Thermo Fisher, Q32853) and integrity checked by gel electrophoresis. Nine micrograms of gDNA from pollen was used to construct a nanopore long-read sequencing library using a Ligation Sequencing Kit V14 (Nanopore, SQK-LSK114). The libraries were sequenced using a PromethION platform (BGI, Hong Kong).

Project description:Sample preparation: P-AMPK+AMP, P-AMPK+ATPγS, and AMPK+ATPγS protein samples were crosslinked in HBST buffer (25 mM HEPES pH 7.5 at room temperature, 200 mM NaCL, and 1 mM TCEP). Non-crosslinked negative controls were generated using the same procedure without the addition of DSSO. Reactions were initiated by spiking 1 uL of 75 mM DSSO (Thermo-Fisher) in DMSO into a 50 uL solution containing 10 uM protein and mixing. The final molar ratio of crosslinker:protein was 150:1. The reactions were incubated at 25°C for 45 minutes prior to being quenched by the addition of Tris pH 8.0 to a final concentration of 50 mM. Each crosslink reaction was done in triplicate and the reaction replicates were pooled after quenching. 10 μL samples of the pooled samples were loaded for SDS-PAGE analysis with Coomassie staining to confirm the presence of crosslinked protein. The remaining 140 μL of crosslinked and non-crosslinked samples were then acetone precipitated at -20°C overnight and the protein was pelleted by centrifugation at 16,000 rcf for 5 minutes at 4°C. After decanting, the pellets were dried for 15 minutes at room temperature before being resuspended in 12.5 uL of resuspension buffer (50 mM ammonium bicarbonate, 8M urea, pH 8.0). ProteaseMAX (Promega) was added to 0.02% and the solutions were mixed on an orbital shaker operating at 400 RPM for 5 minutes. After resuspension, 87.5 uL of digestion buffer (50 mM ammonium bicarbonate, pH 8.0) was added. Cysteines in the protein samples were reduced and akylated as follows. DTT was added to 5 mM final concentration and the protein solutions were incubated at 56°C in an orbital shaker operating at 400 RPM and for 20 minutes. After reduction, 2.7 uL of 550 mM iodoacetamide was added and the solutions were incubated in the dark at room temperature for 15 minutes. Reduced and alkylated protein solutions were digested using trypsin at a ratio of 1:200 (w/w trypsin:protein) and incubating at 37°C. After overnight incubation at 37°C, the samples were acidified by the addition of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA, Thermo-Fischer) to 1%. Samples were then frozen and stored at -20°C until analysis.

Project description:For proteomics analysis, testes of Ube2j2-/- and WT mice were collected on ice, washed once with pre-cooled PBS, dried with absorbent paper, and immediately placed in liquid nitrogen, dry ice, or at -80 ℃. Samples were packed in dry ice and transported to Hangzhou Jingjie Biotechnology Company (PTM Biolabs, Inc.) for whole protein 4D label-free quantitative proteomic determination. Testes of Ube2j2-/- and WT mice were subjected to LC-MS/MS analysis following a standard protocol. The sample was grinded and mixed with lysis buffer (8 M urea, 1% Protease Inhibitor Cocktail III (Merck Millipore, 539134) dissolved in aqueous solution containing buffer salts), followed by sonication on ice using a high intensity ultrasonic processor (Scientz). The remaining debris was removed by centrifugation at 12,000 g at 4 °C for 10 min. Then, the supernatant was collected and the protein concentration was determined with BCA kit (Beyotime Biotechnology, P0011) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The sample was slowly added to a final concentration of 20% (m/v) trichloroacetic acid (Sigma-Aldrich, T4885) to precipitate proteins, then mixed by vortexing and incubated for 2 h at 4 °C. The precipitate was collected by centrifugation at 4500 x g for 5 min at 4°C. The precipitated protein was washed 3 times with pre-cooled acetone and dried for 1 min. Protein samples were then redissolved in 200 mM TEAB (Triethylammonium bicarbonate buffer, Sigma-Aldrich, T7408) and ultrasonically dispersed. Trypsin was added at 1:50 trypsin-to-protein mass ratio for the first digestion overnight. The sample was reduced with 5 mM dithiothreitol for 60 min at 37 °C and alkylated with 11 mM iodoacetamide for 45 min at room temperature in darkness. Finally, the peptides were desalted using a Strata X SPE column (Phenomenex). The tryptic peptides were fractionated into fractions by high pH reverse-phase HPLC using Agilent 300Extend C18 column (5 μm particles, 4.6 mm ID, 250 mm length). The released peptides were subjected to NSI source followed by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in Q ExactiveTM Plus (Thermo) coupled online to the UPLC. Peptides were then selected for MS/MS using NCE setting as 28 and the fragments were detected in the Orbitrap at a resolution of 17,500. Maxquant 1.6.15.0 software was used for spectra analysis, database searches, and peptide identification.

Project description:The proximal convoluted tubule is the primary site of renal fluid, electrolyte and nutrient reabsorption, processes that consume large amounts of ATP. Previous proteomic studies have profiled the adaptions that occur in this segment of the nephron in response to onset of metabolic acidosis. Proximal convoluted tubule isolation and mitochondrial enrichment procedures were described previously. Briefly, rat renal cortex was digested with collagenase and proximal convoluted tubules were purified by Percoll density gradient centrifugation. Mitochondria were isolated by differential and sucrose density centrifugation, which produced an 8-fold enrichment in specific activity of cytochrome C oxidase . The isolated mitochondria were resuspended in H2O, incubated on ice for 20 min with gentle vortexing, and then centrifuged at 12,000xg for 5 min. The pellet and little remaining supernatant were centrifuged again at 12,000xg for 5 min to tighten the pellet and remove residual supernatant. The combined supernatants contain the mitochondrial outer membrane and intermembrane proteins while the final pellet contains mitoplasts. The mitoplasts were subsequently treated with 0.1 M Na2CO3, pH 11.5, incubated on ice for 20 min, and then centrifuged at 100,000xg for 30 min. The supernatant contains matrix proteins and the pellet is the enriched MIM fraction. Samples containing 50 µg of protein were precipitated with acetone and an in-solution tryptic digestion preformed with ProteaseMax (Promega). The peptides were fractionated on a reverse phase column (1200 nanoHPLC, Zorbax C18, 5 um, 75 um ID x 150mm column, Agilent) using a 90 minute linear gradient from 25%-55% buffer B (buffer B = 90% acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid) at a flow rate of 300 nl/min. Peptides were eluted directly into the mass spectrometer (LTQ linear ion trap, Thermo Scientific) and spectra were collected over a m/z range of 200-2000 Da using a dynamic exclusion limit of 3 MS/MS spectra of a given peptide mass for 30 sec and an exclusion duration of 90 sec. The compound lists from the resulting spectra were produced using Xcalibar 2.2 software (Thermo Scientific) with an intensity threshold of 5,000 and 1 scan/group. Each biological sample was injected five times for LC-MS/MS analysis. MS/MS spectra were searched against the Uniprot-KB Rattus norvegicus protein sequence database (74,140 sequence entries) concatenated with a reverse database using both the Mascot (version 2.3.02, Matrix Science) and SEQUEST (version v.27, rev. 11, Sorcerer, Sage-N Research) database search engines. The following search parameters were used: average mass, peptide mass tolerance of 2.5 Da, fragment ion mass tolerance of 1.0 Da, complete tryptic digestion allowing four missed cleavages, variable modifications of methionine oxidation and lysine acetylation, and a fixed modification of cysteine carbamidomethylation. Peptide identifications from both of the search engine results were combined using protein identification algorithms in Scaffold 3 (Version 3.6.0, Proteome Software). Peptide and protein probability thresholds of 90% and 99% were applied with Peptide and Protein Prophet algorithms in Scaffold 3 [6] [7]. Proteins containing shared peptides were grouped by Scaffold 3 to satisfy the laws of parsimony. A peptide false discovery rate (FDR) was determined by the target decoy approach of searching the reversed database [8]. Only proteins that were identified by a minimum of 2 unique peptides in at least 1 biological replicate were considered confidently identified. Manual validation of MS/MS spectra was performed for protein identifications that met the initial thresholds that were based on two unique peptides and for all of the acetylated peptides. The analysis confidently identified 207 proteins in the combined samples. Further proteomic analysis identified 14 peptides that contain an N-epsilon-acetyl-lysine, 7 of which are novel sites. This study provides the first proteomic profile of the mitochondrial inner membrane proteome of this segment of the rat renal nephron.
