M1D1

  • restriction enzymes and buffers
  • filtered pipet tips

M1D2

prior to laboratory:

  • prepare 1% agarose gels, 1 per 2 teams
  • subculture BL21(DE3) pRSETb_FKBP12 1:10 into 50 mL LB containing 100μg / mL amp and 34 μg / mL cam, 1 per team

per team:

  • 25 μL 6x loading dye
  • 520 μL 0.1 M IPTG

M2D3

prior to laboratory:

  • prepare dialysis buffer, X mL per team

per team:

  • lysis buffer reagents
    • 170 μL 1 M Tris, pH = 7
    • 470 μL 1 M NaCl
    • 770 μL 40% glycerol
    • 5 μL 1 M DTT
    • 35 μL 10 mM AEBSF
    • 1.8 mL sterile H2O
  • 250 μL slurry (Ni-NTA resin) in 2 mL microcentrifuge tube
  • 2.5 mL 1X PBS
  • 40 μL 1 M MgCl2
  • 12 μL DNase
  • 2 mL 1X PBS containing 10 mM imidazole
  • 3.5 mL 1X PBS containing 250 mM imidazole

M2D4

prior to laboratory:

  • prepare electrophoresis buffer, 1 chamber volume per 2 teams

per team:

  • 20 μL Laemmli buffer
  • 50 mL coomassie stain
  • BSA reagents
    • 110 μL albumin
    • 1.3 mL 1X PBS
    • 17 mL BCA Reagent A
    • 400 μL BCA Reagent B

M2D5

prior to laboratory:

  • dilute 200 μM chymotrypsin (prepared in 1 mM HCl containing 2 mM CaCl2) to 2 μM chymotrypsin in H2O

per team:

  • 18 μL 1 mg/mL FKBP12
  • buffer reagents
    • 0.8 mL 1 M Tris-HCl, pH=8 containing
    • 40 μL 2 μM chymotrypsin
  • X μL DMSO (?), prepare such that 1 μL needed per reaction (final concentration = 0.2% in 200 μL)
  • Y μL B μM rapamycin (?), prepare such that 1 μL needed per reaction (final concentration = 10 μM in 200 μL)
  • Chembridge ligands (most at 100 mM), prepare such that 1 μL needed per reaction (final concentration = 40 μM in 200 μL)

aliquot amounts calculated for each team only using Abcam protein and 15 reactions, if in-house protein used aliquots should be increased and/or if ligands not used values should be reduced

during the laboratory:

  • prepare 5 mM suc-AAFP-pNA in TFE containing 460 mM LiCl

M2D6

prior to laboratory:

  • prepare serial dilutions of all reagents
    • dye: 1000x → 100x (2uL dye + 18uL PBS), 100x-> 5x (10uL of 100x dye + 190uL PBS)

B. Rapamycin –conc in well will be 10uM Make 5mM solution in DMSO 4.57mg/ml Dilute 5mM→ 0.5mM (or 500uM) in PBS (5uL of 5mM solution +45uL PBS) MIX WELL Dilute 500uM → 50uM in PBS 50uM will be the stock conc used in the reaction C. ChemBridge compounds (most are at 100mM) -conc in well will be 20uM 100mM→10mM in DMSO (1uL compound +9uL DMSO) 10mM→ 1mM into PBS (5uL of 10mM stock +45uL PBS) MIX WELL 1mM→ 0.1mM (100uM) in PBS 100uM is the stock concentration used in the reaction D. DMSO control (final conc 0.2%) add 1uL DMSO to 9uL PBS (mix well) (10%) Dilute 10%-->1% (this is used for the reaction)
