Cells were grown to ~80% confluency at the time of assay. Complete medium was replaced by AHA medium formulated with DMEM, high glucose, no glutamine, no methionine, no cystine (Gibco), 10% dialyzed FBS (Gibco), 1% GlutaMAX (Gibco), 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin (Gibco), 62.6 mg/L L-Cysteine (Sigma), 250uM L-Azidohomoalanine (AHA, Click Chemistry Tools). For non-AHA control, the AHA was replaced by 30 mg/L L-methionine (Sigma). For Anisomycin (ANS) treatment, AHA medium was further added with 10 μg/mL Anisomycin (Cell Signaling). After 3 h of incubation, cells were scraped in cold DPBS, washed twice with cold DPBS and lysed in RIPA buffer. Protein concentration of the lysate was quantified by BCA and input protein concentrations were normalized to 2.1 mg/mL for downstream click chemistry. 50μL of the normalized cell lysate was used for click reaction with biotin-Alkyne (Click Chemistry Tools) by using Click-&-Go Click Chemistry Reaction Buffer Kit (Click Chemistry Tools). The reaction mixture was then methanol precipitated and was resuspended in 2xLaemmi buffer (BIO-RAD) with 2-mercaptoethanol (BIO-RAD) and denatured at 95°C for 10 min. Final protein concentration is 1 mg/mL. The sample was then resolved by SDS–PAGE, and total protein signal was detected by One-Step Blue Protein Gel Stain (Biotium). The biotin signal was detected by HRP-Conjugated Streptavidin (Thermo Scientific).

24 hours post transfection, cells in 10 cm dishes were prepared for metabolic labeling to examine newly synthesized proteins. Cells were washed twice with warm PBS. DMEM containing only high glucose was added to cells to deplete endogenous methionine and cysteine for 45 minutes. Next, the medium was replaced with DMEM containing 10% dialyzed FBS, 2% L-glutamine, .2 mM L-cysteine, 25 mM HEPES, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, penicillin (25,000 U/ml) and streptomycin (25,000 μg/ml), and 4 mM L-azidohomoalanine (Click Chemistry Tools) for 4 hours. After this incubation period, cell lysates were collect in RIPA buffer and prepared for immunoprecipitation.

One day after seeding 300, 000 cells/well, cells were infected with AdSLFN12 or AdCMV. Sixty hours later, the medium was replaced with methionine-free medium (Thermo Fisher, #21013024) for two hours. Cells were incubated with 50μM L-Azidohomoalanine (AHA) (Clickchemistrytools, Scottsdale, AZ, #106625) for 8 hours and lysed in NP-40 lysis buffer (Thermo Fisher, #FNN0021) with 1%SDS. AHA was detected using click chemistry with 50μM Biotin Alkyne (Clickchemistrytools, #1266–5) with Click-&-Go Protein Reaction Buffer Kit (Clickchemistrytools, #1262) per manufacturer’s protocol. After click chemistry, ZEB1 was immunoprecipitated using rabbit anti-ZEB1 and protein-A magnetic beads (Bio-Rad Laboratories, #161–4013). Proteins were resolved by 10% SDS-PAGE, transferred to 0.45μm nitrocellulose membrane, and blocked with Odyssey blocking buffer (LI-COR, Lincoln, NE, #927–50010). Biotin was labeled with IRDye 800CW Streptavidin per manufacturer’s protocol (LI-COR, #926–32230) and ZEB1 was labeled with IRDye 680LT Donkey anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody. Images were acquired using a LI-COR-Clx and analyzed using Image Studio (LI-COR).

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.
