Arabidopsis seedlings were grounded in the presence of liquid nitrogen to fine powder and extracted with buffer containing 50 mM HEPES (NaOH, pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 50 mM β-glycerophosphate, 2 mM DTT, 1% Triton X-100 and 10% glycerol, with EDTA-free protease inhibitors (Roche). After centrifugation for 10 min at 20,000 g, the supernatant was isolated and used as protein samples for Phostag gel analysis. For dephosphorylation of CBL1/9 and CBL2/3, 50 μL supernatant was incubated with 1 μL λ-PPase (NEB) and 5 μL 10 mM MnCl2 under 30 °C for the indicated times. For dephosphorylation of CIPK9-3Flag, CIPK23-3Flag, AKT1-3Flag proteins, the supernatant was incubated with 10 μL prewashed anti-Flag M2 agarose beads (Sigma-Aldrich) for 1 h at 4 °C on a roller shaker. The beads were then washed three times with the extraction buffer described above. The protein bound beads were incubated with 1 μL λ-PPase (NEB) and 5 μL 10 mM MnCl2 under 30 °C for 30 min. The dephosphorylation reaction was stopped by adding 2× SDS loading buffer and boiled for 10 min.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A construct containing the cytosolic kinase and RNase domains of human IRE1α (residues 547–977, IRE1α*) was expressed in SF9 insect cells (ATCC, #CRL-1711) by using the Bac-to-Bac baculovirus expression system (Invitrogen) with a His6 tag at the N-terminus and purified with a nickel–nitriloacetic acid (Qiagen) column. To generate dP-IRE1α*, we removed basal phosphorylation sites by incubating IRE1α* with λ-PPase (New England Biolabs) at a molar ratio of 5:1 (IRE1α*: λ-PPase) in 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM MnCl2, 2 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) and 0.01% Brij 35 detergent (v/v) overnight at 4°C. Dephosphorylation was verified through western blotting using a universal phospho-protein detection agent (biotin-pIMAGO (Tymora Analytical Operations, Cat. No.: FL800) and imaged using a streptavidin-linked fluorophore.

Phosphorylation Analysis by λ-PPase

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lambda protein phosphatase (λ-PPase) could remove the phosphate groups (dephosphorylate). In order to verify whether the diffused bands were phosphorylated or not, λ-PPase was used. Granulosa cells were cultured in the medium supplemented with IGF-1 for 24 h. Cells were collected, lysed and divided into two equal parts. One was treated with 1 µL λ-PPase (400U/µl, New England Biolabs, Beverly, MA, United Kingdom) at 30 °C for 2 h and the other was subjected to the same treatment, except for λ-PPase. After adding 10 µL 5× SDS sample buffer to two samples, samples were boiled for 10 min.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were collected from a 35-mm dish and rinsed twice with ice-cold HBS consisting of 20 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, and 150 mM NaCl. They were subsequently lysed on ice for 15 min with RIPA buffer, containing 1% NP-40, 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM EDTA, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, and complete EDTA-free protease inhibitors (Roche). Lysates were centrifuged at 20,000 g for 15 min, and supernatants were supplemented with 10× PMP buffer, 10× MnCl2, and 400 U λ-PPase (New England Biolabs, Inc.). The reactions were kept at 30°C for 30 min before being quenched with SDS sample buffer. Phos-tag gel electrophoresis was performed according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Wako Pure Chemical Industries). In brief, 8% separating gel was prepared with 25 µM Phos-tag Acrylamide AAL-107 and 50 µM MnCl2. We then mixed thoroughly, allowed the gel to polymerize for 1 h, and prepared the normal stacking gel. Samples were run at low voltage around 60 V until the Bromophenol blue reached the bottom. The gel was then soaked in transfer buffer containing 1 mmol/liter EDTA for 10 min and transfer buffer without EDTA for another 10 min before transferring to PVDF membrane for antibody blotting.

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.
