Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
APEX proximity labeling was performed as previously described61 (link),62 (link). In brief, 80–90% confluent cells were pretreated with 500 μM biotin-tyramide for 30 min, followed by 1 mM H2O2 for 1min. After quenching and washing with PBS containing 5 mM Trolox and 10mM sodium ascorbate, cells were harvested into PBS. The cells were centrifuged, and cell pellets were lysed in RIPA buffer with 1 mM PMSF, 5 mM Trolox, 10 mM sodium ascorbate, and 10 mM sodium azide. Cell lysates were incubated with prewashed Pierce streptavidin magnetic beads (Thermo Fisher) overnight in a cold room. The beads were washed with RIPA buffer (Teknova) twice, with 1 M KCl, 0.1 M Na2CO3, and 2 M urea in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) once, and with RIPA buffer twice. Bound biotinylated proteins were eluted in 1 x SDS sample buffer and separated on 4–20% PAGE, followed by immunoblotting with NDUFS4 antibody. The immuno-precipitated samples were resolved on NuPAGE 10% Bis-Tris Gel. Each lane was excised into 4 equal pieces and combined into two tubes after in-gel digestion using LysC and trypsin enzymes. Digested peptide was processed and used for the LC-MS/MS analysis in the same way as complexsome profiling.

Protein was extracted in RIPA buffer (Teknova, Hollister, CA) containing protease (Roche, San Francisco, CA) and phosphatase (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA) inhibitors and quantified using BCA reagent as described in [21 (link)]. Western blots were performed using the size-based Simple Western system (ProteinSimple, Santa Clara, CA) that automatically processes protein samples by capillary technology. Antibodies were from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA) and included rabbit anti-mouse hormone sensitive lipase (HSL, 1:100, #4107), rabbit anti-mouse phosphorylated HSL serine 660 (pHSL; 1:50, #4126), and rabbit anti-human vinculin as loading control (1:1,000, #4650). Digital images of the Western blots were analyzed with Compass software (ProteinSimple, Santa Clara, CA), and the quantified data for HSL and pHSL was normalized to vinculin. Data are reported as the ratio of pHSL:HSL as previously reported by [21 (link)].

For immunoblotting analysis infected cell monolayers or media only control (mock infected) were washed in ice-cold PBS and lysed in RIPA Buffer (Teknova, Hollister, CA, USA) in the presence of a protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). Proteins were resolved on NuPAGE 4–12% w/v Bis-Tris gels (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes following manufacturer instructions. Immunodetection was performed using the following antibodies: Rabbit polyclonal Anti-PPP1CB using a dilution of 1:1000 (Cat# ab53315, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), mouse monoclonal antibody anti-α-Tubulin using a dilution of 1:3000 DM1A (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), and anti-CSFV E2 protein monoclonal antibody WH303 using a dilution of 1:1000 [32 (link)] and Pierce Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG peroxidase conjugated or Pierce Goat Anti-Mouse IgG peroxidase conjugated secondary antibody reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Western blots were imaged using an Azure C300 and analyzed with cSeries capture software (Azure Biosystems, Dublin, CA, USA).

Protein Extraction and Western Blotting

Proteins from tissues and cell lines were obtained as formerly described [30 (link)]. Protein extracts from human islets were freshly obtained either from Dr. Patrick MacDonald or after sonication of freshly isolated primary human (Prodo Labs, Table 2)/mouse islets on ice by using RIPA buffer (Teknova, Hollister, CA) supplemented with protease/phosphatase inhibitor cocktails (ThermoFisher, Sci.). Up to 75μg of total proteins were loaded onto pre-casted 4–20% Tris-HEPES protein gels (Thermo Scientific-Pierce) or Bolt 4–12% Bis-Tris Plus gels (Invitrogen/ThermoFisher Sci.), run under denaturing conditions and electro-transferred onto PDVF membranes at 4°C by using the Mini Trans-Blot Electrophoretic Transfer Cell (Bio-Rad) or the iBlot-2 Gel Transfer Device (Invitrogen). After blocking overnight with 4% BSA, membranes were incubated with suitable primary antibodies (overnight at 4°C) and developed with HRP-conjugated secondary ones (2h at room temperature). We used ChemiDoc™ MP Imaging System with Image Lab™ Software (Bio-Rad, Berkeley, CA) to detect antigen-antibody reactions. High-resolution gray-scale digital images taken by using this imaging system were cropped to exclude irrelevant lanes and used without further modification. Original blots used to construct Figures are shown in S4 Fig.

For tissue preparation, mice were perfused with saline before tissue was collected and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. Tissue was homogenized and sonicated in RIPA buffer (Teknova) with complete protease inhibitor (Thermo Scientific 11836153001) and 0.625mg/ml N-ethylmaleimide (Sigma E3876). Protein concentrations were determined by DC™-protein assay (Bio-Rad) and normalized. For preparation of soluble and insoluble fractions, total lysates were spun at 20,000xg for 10 min. The supernatant was run as the soluble fraction, and the pellet was resuspended and run as the insoluble fraction. Proteins were separated on NuPAGE™ 4-12% Bis-Tris Protein Gels (Thermo Scientific NP0336BOX) and transferred to Immobilon-P 0.45um PVDF (Merck Millipore). Immunoreactivity was detected with ECL (Thermo Scientific) or SuperSignal™ West Pico PLUS Chemiluminscent Substrate (Thermo Scientific) and an iBright (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Quantification was performed using Image Studio. Band intensity was normalized to the indicated loading control.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
