Empty vector and rLOX-PP expressing PC3 and DU145 cells were cultured, extracted into non-denaturing RIPA cell lysis buffer and incubated with agarose bead-immobilized Non-immune IgG or anti-c-Myc tag IgG overnight at 4°C to pull down rLOX-PP. Non-immune IgG (#31903, Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA) was coupled to agarose using AminoLink Immobilization Plus Trial kit (#20394, Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For pull-down assays, beads were washed, and then eluted according to kit instructions (ProFound c-Myc Tag IP/Co-IP Kit; Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA). Eluted samples were analyzed by Western blotting on denaturing SDS PAGE probed with an anti-ATM, anti-ATR, Rad50, anti-NBS1 and anti-MRE11 antibodies (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA) and with anti-rLOX-PP antibody (61 (link)). Aliquots (5%) of initial extracts taken before the immunoprecipitation were analyzed by Western blot on the same gels.

Cells were cultured and treated with resveratrol for different time periods and different concentrations. Next, cells were lysed in RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 1% NP-40, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 100 mg/mL PMSF, 2 mg/mL aprotinin, 2 mM leupeptin, and 1 mg/mL pepstatin) and protein concentration was determined using the Bradford assay.

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.
