Tissue lysates were prepared as described previously with some modifications (Mao et al., 2016 ). Nonionic detergent-soluble and -insoluble fractions were prepared by sequential lysis buffer. Tissues were homogenized in the following lysis buffer [10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, phosphatase inhibitor cocktail II and III (Sigma-Aldrich), and complete protease inhibitor mixture (Sigma-Aldrich)], and then were centrifuged and soluble supernatant was collected. The insoluble pellet was washed once in brain lysis buffer containing nonionic detergent (0.1% Triton X-100) and the resulting pellet was lysed with lysis buffer containing 2% SDS and 0.5% sodium deoxycholate. The homogenate was centrifuged and the resulting supernatant (Triton X-100 detergent-insoluble) was collected. Total lysates were prepared by homogenization of tissue in RIPA buffer [50 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, 1% Nonidet P-40, 1% SDS, 0.5% sodium-deoxycholate, phosphatase inhibitor cocktail II and III (Sigma-Aldrich), and complete protease inhibitor mixture (Sigma-Aldrich)]. After homogenization, samples were rotated at 4 °C for 30 min for complete lysis, the homogenate was centrifuged at 22,000 × g for 20 min and the supernatants were collected. Protein levels were quantified using the BCA Kit (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA) with BSA standards and analyzed by immunoblot.

To obtain whole cell extract, SKO-007(J3) cells were lysed for 30 min on ice in lysis buffer [1% Nonidet P-40 (v/v), 10% glycerol, 0.1% SDS, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 1 mM phenylmethyl-sulfonyl fluoride, 10 mM NaF, 1 mM Na3VO4, complete protease inhibitor mixture (Sigma Aldrich) in PBS]. Nuclear extracts were prepared from SKO-007(J3) cells as previously described [56 (link),57 (link)]. Protein concentration was determined by the BCA method (ThermoFisher Scientfic, Waltham, MA, USA). Thirty to 50 μg was resolved by SDSPAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Whatman GmbH, Dassel, Germany). After blocking in milk, membranes were probed with specific Abs. Antibodies against p65 and Oct-1 were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, TX, USA)). Antibody against β-actin was purchased from Sigma Aldrich. An HRP-conjugated secondary Ab and an ECL detection system (Amersham, GE Healthcare, London, United Kingdom) were used to reveal immunoreactivity.

Human embryonic kidney cell lines (HEK293T from ATCC) were maintained in advanced DMEM, supplemented with Glutamine and 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum. A day before transfection, approximately 3 × 106 cells were seeded on a 100 mm dish. Transfection was performed with a mixture of pcDNA plasmids expressing specific proteins, as indicated, using Lipofectamine 3000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) with empty pcDNA vector plasmid as a balance. After 48 h, cells were harvested and lysed with sonication in the lysis buffer (50 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 0.5% NP-40, pH 7.5) with complete protease inhibitor mixture (Sigma). Some cell lysate was mixed with loading buffer and heated at 95 °C for 5 min. For immunoprecipitation, the cleared cell lysate was incubated with 20 µL of anti-FLAG magnetic beads (Sigma) with shaking at 4 °C for 5 h. The beads were washed with the lysis buffer three times and bound proteins were eluted with FLAG peptides at 0.1 mg/mL. Samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE and Western Blotting analysis with appropriate antibodies. Antibodies used in the currernt study included anti-HA (COVANCE), anti-FLAG (Abnova), anti-DDB1 (Sigma), anti-Actin (Sigma), anti-DCAF1 (Santa Cruz), anti-SIRT7 (Santa Cruz), anti-Goat IgG (Santa Cruz), anti-Rabbit IgG (Sigma), and anti-Mouse IgG (Sigma).

Candida albicans cells were cultured overnight in the appropriate medium and harvested by centrifugation at 4,000 g for 10 min at 4°C, washed with 50 ml of ice‐cold water and resuspended in 0.6 M sorbitol, 50 mM Tris‐HCl pH 7.5 supplemented with complete protease inhibitor mixture (Sigma). Cells were disrupted by vortexing with 0.45 mm‐diameter sterile glass beads six times, for 30 s each, at 2‐min intervals, on ice. All subsequent steps were carried out at 4°C. Glass beads and unbroken cells were removed by centrifugation at 4,000 g for 10 min, and the supernatants were centrifuged again (14,000 g, 10 min, 4°C). The resulting pellets (corresponding to the mitochondria) were resuspended in 0.6 M sorbitol, 50 mM Tris‐HCl, pH 7.5, and the supernatants constituted the cytosolic fraction. Purified mitochondria were immediately frozen at −80°C.

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.
