Protease inhibitors cocktail

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

Protease inhibitor cocktails are formulations designed to inhibit the activity of various proteases, which are enzymes that break down proteins. These cocktails contain a mixture of different protease inhibitors, each targeting specific types of proteases. The primary function of protease inhibitor cocktails is to preserve the integrity of protein samples by preventing unwanted proteolysis during protein extraction, purification, and analysis procedures.

LPMs were cell-sorted and then lysed in RIPA buffer containing protease inhibitors cocktail (ThermoFisher) and agitated for 1 hour at 4°C before centrifugation at 20,000 g for 10min at 4°C. Protein samples were resolved on 10% SDS-PAGE gels and were then transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membrane using a wet transfer system. Membranes were blocked in 5% (w/v) BSA in Tris-buffered saline-Tween for one hour at room temperature. Membranes were then incubated with primary antibody (anti-Glud1 or anti-Gls1 antibodies (Abcam)) followed by the appropriate horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody. Anti α-actin mAb (Santa Cruz) was used as loading control. Proteins were detected by substrate HRP (Sigma). Antibody validations were performed by suppliers and antibodies were used according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Expression and purification of LTopIB was carried out as described previously (Villa et al., 2003 (link)). Briefly, LTopIB was purified from yeast strain EKY3 deficient in TopIB activity (MATα, ura3-52, his3Δ200, leu2Δ1, trp1Δ63, top1Δ:TRP1 ), that carries the bicistronic expression vector pESC-URA containing both subunits of LTopIB. Yeast were grown in yeast synthetic drop-out medium without uracil (Sigma) supplemented with 2% raffinose (w/v) to OD600: 0.8–1 and induced for 10 h with 2% galactose (w/v). Cells were harvested, washed with cold TEEG buffer (50 mM Tris–HCl pH 7.4, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 10% glycerol) and resuspended in 15 mL of 1 x TEEG buffer supplemented with 0.2 M KCl and a protease inhibitors cocktail (Thermo Scientific). Protein extract, obtained lysing yeast cells, was loaded on a 5 mL P-11 phosphocellulose column (Whatman International Ltd. England). LTopIB protein was eluted at 4 °C with a discontinuous gradient of KCl (0.2, 0.4, 0.6 M) in TEEG buffer. The fractions eluted with 0.6 M KCl in TEEG buffer were supplemented with 50% glycerol and stored at −20 °C prior to using in enzyme assays.

The protein levels in cells were determined by WES protein analysis (ProteinSimple, San Jose, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, cells were washed with ice-cold PBS and lysed in MPER lysis buffer (Thermo Fischer Scientific) containing protease inhibitors cocktail (Thermo Fischer Scientific) by incubating for 15 min on ice. The cell debris was removed by centrifugation at 10,000× g for 15 min at 4 °C. The protein levels in clear cell lysate were measured by Bradford assay (VWR Life Science). Total protein (250 or 500 ng) was separated and immunoprobed in a capillary system using the WES ProteinSimple system: rabbit polyclonal antibody for mCherry (Abcam ab183628) and rabbit monoclonal antibody for GAPDH (Cell Signaling #5174) were used at 1:50 or 1:100 dilutions. Quantitative results such as molecular weight and signal intensity (area) were obtained using the WES ProteinSimple system software according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
