KDAC6 (a gift from Eric Verdin, Addgene plasmid #13823)[25 (link)], KDAC7 (aa521-942), KDAC8, and KDAC8HA were cloned into pFastbac1 (Life Technologies) From pJExpress vectors with the TEV protease cleavage site and His6 tag. Constructs were transformed into DH10Bac E. coli cells to produce bacmids containing KDAC8 [26 (link)]. Bacmids were purified and transfected into Sf9 cells using Cellfectin II (Life Technologies) as described elsewhere [27 (link)]. Baculovirus from these transfections was amplified in Sf9 cells, then used to infect High Five insect cells in suspension in Express Five SFM (Gibco). At 72 hours post-infection, cells were pelleted and frozen at −20 °C until lysis.

For transfection, S2 cells were plated at a density of 2 × 106 cells per 35-mm dish 1 d before transfection. After 24 h culture, around 0.1–0.5 μg of each expression plasmid was transfected into the S2 cells using Effectene Transfection Reagent (Qiagen); cells were harvested 48 h post-transfection. Transfected S2 cells were homogenized with lysis buffer (25 mM Tris pH 8/27.5 mM NaCl/20 mM KCl/25 mM sucrose/10 mM EDTA/10 mM EGTA/1 mM DTT/10% [v/v] glycerol/0.5% Nonidet P40) with protease inhibitors (Complete, Boehringer; PMSF 10 mg/mL, sodium orthovanadate 10 mg/mL). The supernatants were used for IP with anti-Myc, anti-Flag, or anti-HA overnight at 4°C followed by incubation with protein A/G beads (Pierce Chemical Co.) for 2 h. Protein A/ G beads were washed four times using cold PBS. Bound proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and analyzed by western blotting with anti-Myc, anti-Flag, and anti-HA HRP-conjugated antibody. Co-IP experiments were repeated three times.

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.
