Elucidating eIF2α-PHLPP Interaction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were harvested and detergent-solubilized cell lysates were obtained as described previously [5 (link), 7 (link), 8 (link), 17 (link)]. Equal amounts of cell lysates were resolved by SDS-PAGE and subjected to western blot analysis. To examine the interaction between eIF2α and PHLPP, the solubilized cell lysates were incubated with either the anti-HA high-affinity antibody or the anti-PHLPP1 or PHLPP2 antibodies and protein A/G agarose beads (Thermo) at 4 °C for overnight. The beads were washed three times with lysis buffer and the immunoprecipitated proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. The phospho-eIF2α, total eIF2α, ATF4, and LC3 antibodies were obtained from Cell Signaling. The PHLPP1 and PHLPP2 antibodies were from Bethyl laboratories. The β-actin and the anti-HA high-affinity antibodies were from MilliporeSigma.

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.
