Team:Freiburg/Labbook/Functional Assays

To verify the biological functionality of the peptides we synthethized by SPPS: the MRSA toxin PSMa3 and its ligands that we identified by MIPD or FinDr. For this purpose we performed toxicity assays and analyzed the activation of the FPR2 receptor which we cloned and transfected into HEK293 cells for this purpose. Furthermore we wanted to demostrate the protease resistance of D-proteins, therefore we performed degradation assays using the unspecific endopeptidase proteinase K.

Amplification of eGFP with primers 1&2, amplification of FPR2 with primers 3&4 with the following protocol:

19 uL H2O

2.5 uL each primer

1 uL DNA

+ 25 uL Q5 Master Mix from NEB

After succesful amplification of the fragments, gibson assembly was done:

50 ng of Backbone with a 1:3 ratio of DNA to the insert. Equal amount of HiFi Gibson Assembly Master Mix from NEB and 15 minutes incubation at 50°C

 

Transformation of competent cells:

Thaw competent bacteria (Top10) on ice. Add 2 uL of the gibson assemlby master mix to the bacteria and flick (never vortex).

Incubated on ice for 20-30 minutes (25 is ideal). Then heatshock for 45s at 42°C. Put back on ice for 2 minutes.

Preheated plate at 37°C

Added 500 uL of LB medium without any antibiotics. Put on 37°C shaker for around 55 minutes (never longer than 60!)

Immediately plated ~200 uL on an agar plate with siutable antibiotic.

Left plate for ~18h in the incubator. 

Next day: Picked colonies and do a liquid culture for ~6 h. Then miniprep the DNA and sequence. 

Cloning of FPR2 with mCherry

07.09.2019

 

Cloning FPR2 with mCherry instead of with sfGFP in order to perform experiments in the context of our collaboration with TU Darmstadt, who have GFP on their Virus-like particles (VLPs).

Ordered Primers to amplify the already cloned plasmid containing FPR2 in eGFP. Also mCherry was amplified out of a plasmid kindly given to us by AG Di Ventura in the faculty of biology in Freiburg. 

 

The primers contain the following sequences (blue is considered the overhang): 

 

mC1 eGFP FWD   GCATGGACGAGCTGTACAAGTAAAGCGGCCGCGACTCTAG
mC2 eGFP REV   GCTGGATCCTCCGGATCCTCCATCGATCATCGCTTGGAGTTC 
mC3 mCherry FWD   ATGGAGGATCCGGAGGATCCAGCATGGTGAGCAAGGGCGAGGAG 
mC4 mCherry REV   GATCTAGAGTCGCGGCCGCTTTACTTGTACAGCTCGTCCATGCC

 

PCR protocol: 

mC1 + mC2 have a Tm of 72° with Phusion Flash

mC3 + mC4 have a Tm of 68° with Taq Pol (Phusion was empty).

The PCR programme was the following:

Denaturiation: 95°C, 45s

Annealing: 68°C to 72°C gradient PCR, 30s

Elongation: 72°C, 1:20 min

Final extension: 72°C 2:00 min

 

Loaded PCR products on 1.2% agarose gel and run at 100 V for 1:30h. Visualized bands under UV light:

mCherry

Made PCR purification of the products after verifying their size on the gel. Assembled the fragments via Gibson Assembly, using the NEB 2x HiFi Gibson Assembly Master Mix for 20 minutes and transformed into top 10 E. coli. Let grow overnight.

loading plan: ladder, prot K, only L, L-1h, L-24h, only D, D-1h, D-24h, only BSA, BSA-1h, BSA-24h

- ran gels at 0.02 mA 

- developed without fixation with silver stain 

 

LDH assay was repeated with new medium 


11.09.2019

LDH assay

- L-PSMα3 (4 μM)

- tested RPMI with and without serum and different cell concentrations

 

Proteinase K digestion 

- same concentrations as before 


16.09.2019

- cells contaminated again, only thing that wasn't changed or decontaminated were laminin coated cell culture dishes and HEPES

→ discarded all cells, cleaned everything, decontamination of incubator wasn't necessary 

→ new HEPES and add Penstrep next time

 

Proteinase K digestion

cast gels:

- two gels with 16-20%

- one gel with 18% 

- stacking with 16%


17.09.2019

- Proteinase K digestion: ran gel at 110 V silver stain development failed


02.10.2019

- Started Proteinase K digestion as before with PSMa3 and IZN17


03.10.2019

- stopped 24 h Proteinase K digestion, added Laemmli and denatured again for 1 min at 95°C

- ran 12% SDS at 90 V gel with 20uL sample loaded
