Equal amounts of total proteins were separated on a 12% SDS-polyacrylamide gel, and then electro-blotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane. The blots were blocked with 5% dry milk in TBS buffer, and probed with rabbit anti-Hfq, rabbit anti-Crc or rabbit anti-E. coli-S1 antibodies (Sonnleitner and Bläsi, 2014 (link)). Immunodetection of ribosomal protein S1 served as a loading control. The antibody–antigen complexes were visualized with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugated anti-rabbit antibodies (Cell Signaling Technology) using the SuperSignalTM West Pico PLUS chemiluminescent substrate kit (Thermo Scientific). The signals were detected with ChemiDocTM Touch Imaging System (BioRad) and analyzed with ImageLab 5.2.1 (BioRad).

Briefly, 20 µg of protein samples were loaded for electrophoresis and transferred to polyvinylidene di-fluoride (PVDF) membrane (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). After blocking for at least an hour in 5% nonfat dry milk, the membrane was incubated with primary antibodies with appropriate dilutions (Supplementary table 2) at 4 °C overnight and followed by incubation with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. Protein amounts were normalized to rabbit polyclonal anti-human β-actin antibody (1:1000 dilution) (Cell Signaling Technology). Finally, proteins were visualized using SuperSignalTM West Pico PLUS chemiluminescent substrate kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, #34577) and saved as image files using ChemiDoc XRS+ (Bio-Rad).

Briefly, 40 μg of muscle proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to poly-vinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA), blocked in 5% nonfat dry milk in phosphate-buffered saline with Tween-20 (PBST), washed in PBST, and incubated overnight at +4 °C with primary antibodies against ferritin (1:1000, ab75973, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), TfR (1:1000, ab84036, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), DMT1 (1:1000, ABS983, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), and ferroportin (1:1000, PA5-22993, Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA). Then membranes were washed three times in PBST and incubated in goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (1:3000, conjugated with HRP, 130-65-15, BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA) for 2 h at room temperature. Proteins were visualized with SuperSignalTM West Pico PLUS Chemiluminescent substrate kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), detected with BioRad ChemiDocTM Imaging System, and quantified using ImageLab software (BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA). The results were normalized to the total proteins of Ponceau S staining.

For Western Blot analysis, cells were harvested and normalized to the optical density. After centrifugation the pellet was resuspended in water and SDS sample buffer (500 mM Tris pH 6.8, 10% SDS w/v, 20% Glycerol v/v, 0.05% bromophenol blue w/v). The samples were heated to 95°C for 10 min and vigorously mixed on the vortex for at least 1 min. To remove debris, the samples were again centrifuged (10 min, 13,000 rpm) and the supernatant was loaded into wells of the SDS-PAGE gel. After semidry blotting to a PVDF membrane (Roth; 0.45 μm), protein detection was performed using a monoclonal mouse ANTI-FLAG M2-Peroxidase (HRP) antibody from Sigma-Aldrich. The SuperSignalTM West Pico PLUS Chemiluminescent Substrate Kit (Thermo Fisher) was used to develop the western blot signals.

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.
