Cells were seeded in 35mm glass-bottom dishes (MatTek Corporation). Proximity ligation assays were performed using the Duolink In Situ Red Starter Kit Mouse/Rabbit (Millipore Sigma). In brief, cells were washed carefully and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde. Cells were then permeabilized in 0.1% Triton-X/PBS before blocking. Primary antibodies were added overnight at 4 °C. PLA probes were added for 1 hour at 37 °C before ligation and amplification. After washing and staining cell nuclei with DAPI solution (1:1000 in PBS, stock 1 mg/mL, Thermo Fisher Scientific), cells were imaged at a Yokogawa CSU22 spinning disk confocal microscope using a Plan Apo VC 60X/ 1.4 Oil objective (Nikon Imaging Center, UCSF). Image analysis was done via Fiji ImageJ software 58

Cells were seeded in 35mm glass-bottom dishes (MatTek Corporation) or µClear 96-well imaging plates (Greiner Bio-One). At the time of harvest, cells were washed carefully and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde. Cells were then permeabilized in 0.1% Triton-X/PBS and blocked in 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) / 0.1% Triton-X/PBS. Primary antibody was diluted in 1% BSA / 0.1% Triton-X/PBS and incubated overnight at 4 °C. After washing, secondary antibodies were diluted in 1% BSA / 0.1% Triton-X/PBS and added for 1 hour at room temperature.
Where indicated, actin filaments were stained with rhodamine-phalloidin (Thermo Fisher Scientific) as described by the manufacturer. After secondary antibody staining, cells were washed and then stained with DAPI solution (1:1000 in PBS, stock 1 mg/mL, Thermo Fisher Scientific). For endogenously tagged YAP-mNeonGreen2 cells, permeabilization, blocking as well as primary and secondary antibody staining were omitted. Cells were imaged at a Yokogawa CSU22 spinning disk confocal microscope using a Plan Apo VC 60X/ 1.4 Oil objective (Nikon Imaging Center, UCSF). Image analysis was done via Fiji ImageJ software 58 (link) . Quantification of relative integrated density for nuclear levels was performed by automated analysis quantifying the intensity for the protein of interest per nuclei.

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.
