As an important class of biomaterials, polypeptides have been widely used because of their biocompatibility, bioactivity and biodegradability. Ring-opening polymerization of N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) is a classical and widely used method for the synthesis of polypeptides. The dominantly used primary amine-initiated NCA polymerization can yield well-defined polymers and complex macromolecular architectures, but the reaction is slow and sensitive to moisture, making it necessary to use anhydrous solvents and a glovebox. One solution is to use lithium hexamethyldisilazide (LiHMDS) as the initiator, as described in this protocol. LiHMDS-initiated NCA polymerization is less sensitive to moisture and can be carried out in an open vessel outside the glovebox. It is also very fast; the reaction can be complete within 5 min to produce 30-mer polypeptides. In this protocol, poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate) is prepared as an example, but the protocol can easily be adapted to the synthesis of other polypeptides by generating NCAs from different amino acids, making it particularly suitable for the efficient parallel synthesis of polypeptide libraries. We provide detailed procedures for NCA synthesis and purification, the method of polymer end-group modification and measurement of polymerization kinetics and reactivity ratio. The procedure for synthesis of monomers and polymerization to form polypeptides requires <1 d. The superfast and open-vessel NCA polymerization method described here will probably enable a wide range of applications in the synthesis and functional study of polypeptide biomaterials.</p>","PeriodicalId":18901,"journal":{"name":"Nature Protocols","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142391835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, existing techniques for analyzing synapse engulfment by OPCs have limited accuracy. Here we describe the quantification of synapse engulfment by OPCs via a two-pronged cell biological approach that combines high-confidence and high-throughput methodologies. Firstly, an adeno-associated virus encoding a pH-sensitive, fluorescently tagged synaptic marker is expressed in neurons in vivo to differentially label presynaptic inputs, depending upon whether they are outside of or within acidic phagolysosomal compartments. When paired with immunostaining for OPC markers in lightly fixed tissue, this approach quantifies the engulfment of synapses by around 30-50 OPCs in each experiment. The second method uses OPCs isolated from dissociated brain tissue that are then fixed, incubated with fluorescent antibodies against presynaptic proteins, and analyzed by flow cytometry, enabling the quantification of presynaptic material within tens of thousands of OPCs in <1 week. The integration of both methods extends the current imaging-based assays, originally designed to quantify synaptic phagocytosis by other brain cells such as microglia and astrocytes, by enabling the quantification of synaptic engulfment by OPCs at individual and populational levels. With minor modifications, these approaches can be adapted to study synaptic phagocytosis by numerous glial cell types in the brain. The protocol is suitable for users with expertise in both confocal microscopy and flow cytometry.

We present a detailed protocol for performing and analyzing a multiplexed quantitative chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing experiment (MINUTE-ChIP), in which multiple samples are profiled against multiple epitopes in a single workflow. Multiplexing not only dramatically increases the throughput of ChIP-seq experiments (e.g., profiling 12 samples against multiple histone modifications or DNA-binding proteins in a single experiment), but also enables accurate quantitative comparisons. The protocol consists of four parts: sample preparation (i.e., lysis, chromatin fragmentation and barcoding of native or formaldehyde-fixed material), pooling and splitting of the barcoded chromatin into parallel immunoprecipitation reactions, preparation of next-generation sequencing libraries from input and immunoprecipitated DNA and data analysis using our dedicated analysis pipeline. This pipeline autonomously generates quantitatively scaled ChIP-seq tracks for downstream analysis and visualization, alongside necessary quality control indicators.

In addition, altered expression of O-GalNAc glycans is frequently observed during different disease states.

Finally, we also show users how to integrate their statistical results into the molecular network using the Cytoscape visualization tool. Throughout the protocol, we use a previously published environmental metabolomics dataset for demonstration purposes. Together, the protocol, code and web application provide a complete guide and toolbox for FBMN data integration, cleanup and advanced statistical analysis, enabling new users to uncover molecular insights from their non-targeted metabolomics data. Our protocol is tailored for the seamless analysis of FBMN results from Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking and can be easily adapted to other mass spectrometry feature detection, annotation and networking tools.</p>","PeriodicalId":18901,"journal":{"name":"Nature Protocols","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142291583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
