This method takes advantage of the relatively high cholesterol content of the plasma membrane, as compared to other cellular membranes. Digitonin is a ß-sterol binding detergent that selectively solubilizes the plasma membrane, leaving the ER- and nuclear membranes intact. Hence, sequential treatment with digitonin followed by a more lytic detergent, such as an NP-40/DOC cocktail, yields cytosolic- and membrane-bound polysome fractions, respectively (schematically illustrated in Fig. 1A). The various steps of the sequential detergent extraction procedure have been validated by immunofluorescene microscopy, where it can be seen that disruption of the plasma membrane with digitonin results in the release of (depolymerized) tubulin, without effect on the ER, the actin cytoskeleton, or the intermediate filament network (Fig. 1 B). Following addition of the ER lysis buffer, the ER fraction is recovered in a soluble fraction and the nuclei, actin cytoskeleton, and intermediate filament network remain (Fig. 1B). Companion immunoblot analyses of marker protein distributions show that the cytosolic proteins GAPDH and tubulin are present in the cytosol fraction, as expected, and the ER-membrane proteins, TRAPα and ER-lumenal protein, GRP94 are present in the ER fraction (Fig. 2 A). The NP-40 insoluble material consists primarily of nuclear and cytoskeletal elements, as evidenced by the marker proteins histone H3 and actin, respectively (Fig. 2 A). Similarly, Northern blot analysis of the mRNA composition of the cytosol and membrane fractions show that the cytosol fraction is enriched for mRNAs encoding histone (H3F3A) and GAPDH, whereas the membrane fraction is enriched in mRNAs encoding ER resident proteins, such as GRP94 and calreticulin (Fig. 2 B).
The method described below is for cells grown in monolayer. However, the protocol can be easily adapted for non-adherent cells by performing permeabilization, wash and lysis in suspension and pelleting cells at 3000 × g for 5 minutes between the different steps. The volumes of reagents mentioned in the following protocol are scaled to extract polysomes from 10 million cells.

Total cellular RNA was isolated either by RNeasy (Qiagen, Valencia, California, United States) or Trizol reagent (Invitrogen). For Xbp1 RT-PCR, the Titan One-Tube RT-PCR kit (Roche) was used along with primers flanking the Xbp1 intron to amplify both spliced and unspliced Xbp1. Real-time RT-PCR was performed by first generating cDNAs using the iScript kit (Bio-Rad), which uses random primers. cDNA was then diluted (the extent varied based on the amount of starting RNA) and amplified by PCR in an iCycler (Bio-Rad) using iQ SYBR Green Supermix (Bio-Rad). For each primer set used, a dilution series of cDNA was first established to verify that amplification efficiency was near 100%, and to establish the linear range for the primer pair. Reaction products were separated by DNA electrophoresis to confirm that the amplified product was the correct size. For real-time reactions, a melt-curve analysis was performed at the end of the reaction to confirm the amplification of a single product with no primer dimers. Real-time reactions also included a control where no reverse transcriptase was included in the cDNA synthesis reaction, to exclude amplification of genomic DNA. Each primer pair was designed to span an intron. Primer pairs used were: 18S rRNA: cgcttccttacctggttgat and gagcgaccaaaggaaccata; Chop: ctgcctttcaccttggagac and cgtttcctggggatgagata; Gadd34: gagattcctctaaaagctcgg and cagggacctcgacggcagc; β-actin: gatctggcaccacaccttct and ggggtgttgaaggtctcaaa; BiP: catggttctcactaaaatgaaagg and gctggtacagtaacaactg; Grp94: aatagaaagaatgcttcgcc and tcttcaggctcttcttctgg; Atf4: atggccggctatggatgat and cgaagtcaaactctttcagatccatt; p58IPK: tcctggtggacctgcagtacg and ctgcgagtaatttcttcccc; and Uggt1: gctttggtgtgaaacgtg and cagtttgggctccttagtc. Although the absolute extent of up-regulation for any gene varied somewhat from experiment to experiment, the trends of their expression changes were consistent.

For qRT-PCR, the rib cages from 5-day-old mice (wild type (wt) and mutant (m/m)) were dissected and treated with collagenase (type 1A, 2 mg/ml) for 1 h at 37°C in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM). The costal cartilage was dissected from individual ribs, and the perichondrium layer was removed. The cartilage was digested a second time with collagenase for 3 h to remove the collagen matrix and release the chondrocytes. The chondrocytes were passed through a cell strainer (70 μm) and washed with DMEM containing 10% FBS and following centrifugation washed again with PBS. The cell pellet was resuspended in 500 μl TriZol (Invitrogen), and total RNA was isolated according to the manufacturer’s instructions. First-strand cDNA was synthesised using random hexamer primers (Superscript III, Invitrogen), and qPCR was performed using the SYBR® green PCR protocol. Primer sequences were: BiP: 5′-ggcaccttcgatgtgtctcttc-3′ and rev: 5′-tccatgacccgctgatcaa-3′; Grp94: 5′-taagctgtatgtacgccgcgt-3′ and rev: 5′-ggagatcatcggaatccacaac-3′; Calnexin: 5′-tga ttt cct ctc cct ccc ctt-3′ and rev: 5′-cac tgg aac ctg ttg atg gtg a-3′; Calreticulin: 5′-gct acg tga agc tgt ttc cga-3′ and rev: 5′-aca tga acc ttc ttg gtg cca g-3’; Erp72: 5′-agt atg agc cca ggt tcc acg t-3′ and rev: 5′-aga agt ctt acg atg gcc cac c-3′. Each experiment included ‘no template’ controls, was run in duplicate and had an 18S RNA control. Each independent experiment was repeated three times, and the results were analysed by independent-samples t test.
For Western blot analysis, chondrocytes were isolated as above, but aliquots of 2 × 105 chondrocytes were prepared and resuspended in 5× sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) loading buffer containing DTT. These protein aliquots were separated by 4–12% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE; Invitrogen) then transferred to nitrocellulose membranes for Western blot analysis. Ponceau staining was used to confirm equal loading of total protein isolates.
Antibodies to key chaperones associated with the unfolded protein response were used at a dilution of either 1:500 (BiP, Grp94, Erp72 and PDI; all from Santa Cruz) or 1:100 (ATF-6 from Imgenex and Bcl-2 from Abcam).

MD simulations of the Hsp90 structures (each of 20 ns duration) were performed for a closed ATP-bound conformation of yeast Hsp90 (crystal structure) (PDB ID 2CG9) [54] (link); a “V-shaped” conformation of the mammalian Grp94 homologue from complexes with ADP (PDB ID 2O1V) and AMP-PNP (PDB ID 2O1U) (crystal structure) [56] (link); an open Apo form of the bacterial homologue HtpG (PDB ID 2IOQ) (crystal structure) [55] (link); a semi-closed, ADP-bound form of the bacterial homologue HtpG (PDB ID 2IOP) (crystal structure) [55] (link); and an extended Apo HtpG conformation (solution structure from SAXS studies) [61] (link). All crystallographic water molecules, bound inhibitors, and other heteroatoms were removed. The retrieved structures were examined for missing and disordered residues. The missing residues and unresolved structural segments were modeled using the program MODELLER which is an automated approach to comparative protein structure modeling by satisfaction of spatial restraints [153] (link), [154] (link). MD simulations were carried out using NAMD 2.6 [155] (link) with the CHARMM27 force field [156] (link), [157] and the explicit TIP3P water model as implemented in NAMD 2.6 [158] . The VMD program was used for the preparation and analysis of simulations [159] (link), [160] (link). The employed MD protocol was described in full details in our earlier studies [161] (link)–[163] (link). In brief, structures were solvated in a water box with the buffering distance of 10 Å. Assuming normal charge states of ionizable groups corresponding to pH 7, sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl) counter-ions were added to achieve charge neutrality in MD simulations at physiological concentration of 0.15 mol/L. All Na+ and Cl ions were placed at least 8 Å away from any protein atoms and from each other. The system was subjected to initial minimization for 20,000 steps (40 ps) keeping protein backbone fixed which was followed by 20,000 steps (40 ps) of minimization without any constraints. Equilibration was done in steps by gradually increasing the system temperature in steps of 20 K starting from 10 K until 310 K and at each step 15000 steps (30 ps) equilibration was run keeping a restraint of 10 Kcal mol−1 Å−2 on protein alpha carbons (Cα). Thereafter the system was equilibrated for 150,000 steps (300 ps) at 310 K (NVT) and then for further 150,000 steps (300 ps) at 310 K using Langevin piston (NPT) to achieve uniform pressure. Finally the restrains were removed and the system was equilibrated for 500,000 steps (1 ns) to prepare the system for simulation. An NPT simulation was run on the equilibrated structure for 20 ns keeping the temp at 310 K and pressure at 1 bar using Langevin piston coupling algorithm. The integration time step of the simulations was set to 2.0 fs, the SHAKE algorithm was used to constrain the lengths of all chemical bonds involving hydrogen atoms at their equilibrium values and the water geometry was restrained rigid by using the SETTLE algorithm. Nonbonded van der Waals interactions were treated by using a switching function at 10 Å and reaching zero at a distance of 12 Å. The particle-mesh Ewald algorithm (PME) as implied in NAMD was used to handle long range electrostatic forces.

Proteins of whole-cell lysates were analyzed using lectin blotting, Western blotting and Coomassie-stained gels. Proteins were separated on 10% SDS gels at 20 mA and transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, Billercia, MA, USA) at 250 mA for lectin blotting, as previously described [36 (link)]. Transferred membranes were incubated with biotin-conjugated E-PHA or GNL lectins (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). Western blotting was performed using the Bio-Rad ChemiDoc MP Imaging System (Biorad, Hercules, CA, USA) which allowed for the visualization of proteins using fluorescent antibodies. Whole cell lysate samples were electrophoresed on Any kDTM gels (Biorad, Hercules, CA, USA). Separated proteins were transferred to PVDF membranes and were incubated in EveryBlot Blocking Buffer, primary and secondary antibodies, and then imaged using a ChemiDoc MP imaging system. Primary antibodies with rat and human reactivity include: BiP, PDI (PDIA1), calreticulin, Grp94, KIF5B and ERp57 (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) and rhodamine conjugated actin (Biorad, Hercules, CA, USA). Primary antibodies with only human reactivity include: Ero1-L-α and calnexin (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA). The secondary antibody (Biorad, Hercules, CA, USA) used was anti-rabbit IgG starBright Blue 700. Immunobands were quantified using image lab software (Biorad, Hercules, CA, USA) by comparing the ratio of the protein of interest to β-actin, housekeeping protein. In short, multichannel images of Western blots were used to detect protein of interest (starBright Blue 700), along with the housekeeping protein (rhodamine-conjugated β-actin) in each lane. Moreover, multiplexed Western blotting permitted correction for loading and transfer of separated proteins to membranes for each sample since β-actin was measured in the same lane as the protein of interest. The ratio of the immunoband intensities of the protein of interest to β-actin are reported as a mean from at least 3 separate lanes. To verify that proteins of interest and β-actin migrated as reported by the literature which accompanied product, Western blots with protein markers can be viewed in supplementary section (Figure S1). Adjusted band intensity was determined by subtracting local background of immunobands from each immunoband. In all cases, background was kept constant for each Western blot.
