MudPIT analyses of proteins associated with Piccolo and Bassoon in the presynaptic active zone

ABSTRACT: We used a 3-step protocol that separates lipid-associated proteins based on their buoyant density, size and charge. All steps were conducted either on ice or at 4C. Step 1 involved a sucrose density gradient centrifugation in which ca. 100 postnatal day 4 rat brains were homogenized in buffer A (5 mM MES, pH 7.0, 0.3 M sucrose, 1 mM EDTA) containing protease inhibitor cocktail. The homogenate was centrifuged at 1,000xg for 15 min. Post-nuclear supernatant (PNS) was lysed with 10 volumes of 5 mM MES pH 7.0, 1 mM EDTA and incubated for 30 min at 4C. The lysed PNS was then centrifuged at 100,000 x g for 1 h. The pellet was resuspended in buffer A and loaded on top of a discontinuous sucrose gradient of 0.8, 1.2 and 2.0 M. The gradient was spun for 3 h at 270,000 x g. The material between 0.3 and 0.8 M sucrose was removed, diluted with 5 mM MES, pH 7.0, 1 mM EDTA to a final sucrose concentration of 0.3 M, and centrifuged at 100,000 x g for 1 h. The pellet was further resuspended in a final volume of 2 mL of PBS with protease inhibitors. In step 2, this material was applied to a gel filtration column packed with Sephacryl S-1000 Superfine matrix. The dimensions of the column were 1.5 cm wide and approximately 1.5 m tall. Material flowed through the column by gravity with elution by 1x phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4). The flow rate was ca. 0.5 mL/min, and a BioRad Model 2110 fraction collector was used to collect 4 mL per fraction. For the final step 3 of the protocol, the four Sephacryl S-1000 fractions most highly enriched in Piccolo and Bassoon as determined by WB were pooled and applied to a column packed with Q Sepharose Fast Flow. The dimensions of this column were diameter of 2.5 cm, height of approximately 12 cm with a bed volume of 60 mL packed Q Sepharose, and the flow rate using the 2110 fraction collector was 3 mL/min and 10 mL fractions were collected. The final elution profile (all buffers in 20 mM Tris pH 7.0) was 200 mL of 150 mM NaCl to wash, then stepwise elution of 120 mL buffer with the following NaCl concentrations: 210 mM, 290 mM, 350 mM, and 1000 mM. About 40 mL of the 210 mM, 290 mM (Piccolo and Bassoon enriched), and 350 mM NaCl fractions were concentrated to about 1 mL using Amicon Centricon Plus-20 30 kDa cutoff concentrators. The final recovery was 7.5 ug in the 210 mM fraction, and 16 ug in each of the 290 mM and 350 mM fractions. The fractions were precipitated with tricholoroacetic acid, and the protein pellet was stored at -20C until further use. The second approach to identify proteins associating with Piccolo and Bassoon was an anti-Piccolo IP. The starting material was 10 mg of the fraction between 0.3 and 0.8 M sucrose after density centrifugation (step 1 above). This material was diluted to 0.3 M sucrose with 5 mM MES, pH 7.0 and centrifuged at 100,000 x g for 1 h. The pellet was resuspended and incubated for 1 h with 4 mL of solubilization buffer (5 mM MES, pH 7.0, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, and protease inhibitor cocktail). Lysate was cleared by centrifugation at 100,000 x g for 1 h. One mL of supernatant was incubated with 2.5 ug anti-Piccolo rabbit antibody or 2.5 ug rabbit IgG for 4 h. A 100 uL Protein A agarose slurry (Roche) was then added and further incubated overnight. Material was transferred to a small column and washed with 20 mL solubilization buffer. Proteins were eluted twice with 200 uL 50 mM Tris, pH 6.5, 100 mM DTT, 2% SDS. This material was then extracted with 4 volumes methanol and 1-volume chloroform. This mixture was combined with water, centrifuged for 90 sec at 16,000 x g. The aqueous phase was removed and extracted again with 3 volumes of methanol. This precipitated protein was collected by centrifugation for 90 sec at 16,000 x g, methanol removed, and the speed-vacuum was used to dry the protein pellet. The 210 mM, 290 mM, and 350 mM NaCl fractions from the Mono-Q column protocol and the eluates (both IgG alone and anti-Piccolo IPs) from two separate IP experiments were subjected to Multi-dimensional Protein Identification technology.

Synaptic vesicles (SVs) fuse with the plasma membrane at a precise location called the presynaptic active zone (AZ). This fusion is coordinated by proteins embedded within a cytoskeletal matrix assembled at the AZ (CAZ). In the present study, we have identified a novel binding partner for the CAZ proteins Piccolo and Bassoon. This interacting protein, Trio, is a member of the Dbl family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) known to regulate the dynamic assembly of actin and growth facto ...[more]

Project description:Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells pooled from several donors, were purchased from Lonza and cultured in FBS reduced Endopan 3 media. HUVEC cells of passages 5-10 were used for experiments. MPO treatment was performed with protein purified from human blood (Planta) and at 1 μg/ml final concentration. Immunoprecipitation was performed from isolated nuclei (after 8 hours MPO treatment), non-treated cells were used as negative control. For immunoprecipitation antibody against MPO (Calbiochem, 475915) was used. Cell nuclei were isolated by incubating cells for 15 min on ice in NIB buffer (15 mM Tris-HCL pH 7.5, 60 mM KCl, 15 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 250 mM sucrose) containing 0.3% NP-40. Nuclei were pelleted for 5 min 800 × g at 4 °C, washed twice in the same buffer, lysed for 10 min on ice in IP buffer (150 mM LiCl, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5% Empigen) freshly supplemented with 2 mM sodium vanadate, 1× protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche), PMSF (10 µl), 0,5 mM DTT, and 50 units Benzonase per ml of IP buffer, before preclearing cell debris by centrifugation at >15,000 × g at 4 °C. Finally, 1 mg of the lysate was incubated with anti-MPO antisera overnight at 4 °C. Magnetic beads (Active Motif) were then washed once with 1× PBS-Tween and combined with the antibody-lysate mixture. Following a 2-h incubation at 4 °C, beads were separated on a magnetic rack and washed 5×, 5 min each in wash buffer (150 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 0.5% NP-40) and another two times in wash buffer without NP-40. Captured proteins were predigested and eluted from the beads using digestion buffer (2 M Urea, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 1 mM DTT) supplemented with trypsin and eluted from the beads with elution buffer (2 M Urea, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 5 mM chloroacetamide) supplemented with trypsin and LysC, before subjected to mass-spectrometry on a Q-Exactive Plus Orbitrap platform coupled to an EASY nLC (Thermo Scientific). Peptides were loaded in solvent A (0.1% formic acid in water) onto an in-house packed analytical column (50 cm length, 75 µm I.D., filled with 2.7 µm Poroshell EC120 C1; Agilent)

Project description:The high level of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) present in neuronal genomes suggests that mechanisms interpreting 5hmC in the central nervous system (CNS) may differ from those present in embryonic stem cells. Here we present quantitative, genome-wide analysis of 5hmC, 5- methylcytosine (5mC) and gene expression in differentiated CNS cell types in vivo. We report that 5hmC is enriched in active genes, and that surprisingly strong depletion of 5mC is observed over these regions. The contribution of these epigenetic marks to gene expression depends critically on cell type. We identify methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) as the major 5hmC binding protein in the brain, and demonstrate that MeCP2 binds 5hmC and 5mC containing DNA with similar high affinities. The Rett Syndromecausing mutation R133C preferentially inhibits 5hmC binding. These findings support a model in which 5hmC and MeCP2 constitute a cell specific epigenetic mechanism for regulation of chromatin structure and gene expression. Isolation and sorting was performed as described in (Kriaucionis and Heintz, 2009). Briefly, cerebella were dissected as described above and homogenized in homogenization medium (0.25 M sucrose, 150 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 20 mM Tricine pH 7.8, 0.15 mM spermine, 0.5 mM spermidine, EDTA-free protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche) using loose (A) and tight (B) glassglass dounce.Homogenate was supplemented with 50% iodixanol (OptiPrep, Axis-Shield, Scotland), 150 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 20 mM Tricine pH 7.8; and laid on a 29% iodixanol cushion. GC nuclei from WT and Mecp2-null mice were sorted by selecting a specific FSC/SSC population identified from GC EGFP+ mice. We observed that this FSC/SSC gated population in GC EGFP+ animals resulted >92% of the sorted nuclei being EGFP positive. Thus, the gate selected allows us to enrich the sample from 65-70% to 92-96% on GC cells. 5hmC was pulled down as described (Song et al., 2010). After purification DNA was amplified as described in TruSeq DNA Sample kit. 1-0.5 M-NM-<g of DNA was used for each experiment. Sonicated DNA was end-repaired following by ligation to Illumina paired end sequencing adapters (Illumina, PEM-bM-^@M-^P 102M-bM-^@M-^P 1003).), following by amplification with Illumina primers. Input samples were produced for each cell types in both procedures 5hmC enriched were then sequenced using Illumina platform obtaining more than 50 x10-6, 36- bp single-end reads per sample. Reads were aligned to mm9 mouse genome assembly using Bowtie v0.12.7 (-m1 --best). Two biological replicas were done for each of the cell types Single animals per replica were euthanized with CO2 and cerebella were dissected. 4 cerebella was immediately homogenized in ice-cold homogenization buffer (10 mM HEPES [pH 7.4], 150 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), 100 M-NM-<g/ml cycloheximide, Complete-EDTA-free protease inhibitors (Roche) and RNasin RNase inhibitors (Promega, Madison, WI) using a Teflon-glass homogenizer. Homogenates were centrifuged for 10 minutes at 2,000 M-CM-^W g, 4 M-BM-0C, to pellet cell debris, and incubated with 1% IGEPAL CA-630 (NP-40, Sigma) and 30 mM DHPC (Avanti Polar Lipids, Alabaster, AL) for 5 min. Lysates were centrifuged for 15 minutes at 20,000 M-CM-^W g to pellet insoluble material. At this point, 30 M-NM-<L of supernatant was saved as input sample. Two custom made mouse anti-GFP (clones 19C8 and 19F7; see Heiman et al., 2008) antibodies were captured on Dynal magnetic beads (Invitrogen Corporation, Carlsbad, CA) coupled with protein L (Pierce, Rockford, IL) . The homogenate was incubated with antibody coupled beads at 4M-BM-0C with end-over-end rotation for approximately 16 hours. Beads were subsequently collected on a magnetic rack, washed three times with high-salt wash buffer (10 mM HEPES [pH 7.4], 350 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 1% NP-40, 0.5mM DTT, 100 M-NM-<g/ml cycloheximide) and RNA was released and purified using Rneasy Micro Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) with in-column DNase digestion. RNA quantity and quality were determined with a Nanodrop 1000 spectrophotometer (Wilmington, DE) and Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer using RNA 6000 Pico Chip. 4 biological replicas was produced per each cell type. 10 ng of total RNA from cerebellum were converted to cDNA using the NuGEN Ovation RNA-Seq (NuGEN,San Carlos,CA,USA) following manufacturersM-bM-^@M-^Y instructions. The Single Primer Isothermal Amplification (SPIA) method used in this protocol allows the amplification of RNA target in double stranded cDNA under standardized conditions that markedly deplete rRNA without preselecting mRNA. cDNA obtained was quality scored by RNA 6000 PicoChip for Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA). 1 M-NM-<g of cDNA per sample was sonicated using Covaris-S2 system (Covaris Inc., Woburn, MA, USA), cDNA fragments of 200 bp were end-repaired and adapters were ligated for HiSeq 2000 (Ilumina Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) technology using TruSeq DNA Sample kit (Illumina) and following manufacturer`s instructions. Quality of libraries was assesed using HT DNA High Sensitivity Chip (Agilent) for 2100 Bioanalyzer. Single animals per replica were euthanized with CO2 and cerebella were dissected. 4 cerebella was immediately homogenized in ice-cold homogenization buffer (10 mM HEPES [pH 7.4], 150 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), 100 M-NM-<g/ml cycloheximide, Complete-EDTA-free protease inhibitors (Roche) and RNasin RNase inhibitors (Promega, Madison, WI) using a Teflon-glass homogenizer.

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).
