Protein samples were mixed with SDS gel loading buffer (Quality Biologicals, Gaithersburg, MD) and heated for 10 minutes at 70°C. Samples were loaded onto a 4–12% polyacrylamide gel (NuPAGE BT, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) and fractionated according to manufacturer’s instructions. Protein bands were visualized by staining with Coomassie brilliant blue R-250 (Sigma). The protein concentrations were measured using the Bradford assay (Bio-Rad). For the Western blot, protein samples were transferred from the polyacrylamide gel to a PVDF membrane using the Pierce G2 fast blotter (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL) for 10 minutes. The membrane was blocked with 5% non-fat dry milk in PBS/0.01% Tween 20 for 1 h at 37 °C, washed three times with PBS/0.01% Tween 20, and then incubated with DENV-2 hyperimmune mouse ascitic fluid (HMAF) at 1:100 in blocking buffer for 1 h at 37 °C. After washing, the secondary antibody was peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-human IgG (Kirkegaard & Perry, Gaithersburg, MD) diluted in blocking solution and incubated for 1 h at 37 °C. The membrane was washed again and the bands were detected by incubation with 3, 3′,5,5′-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) Liquid Substrate System (Kirkegaard & Perry).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For cell cycle synchronization, the cultures were grown to OD600 = 0.3 at 30 °C, followed by addition of α-factor at final concentration of 1 mg/L. The cultures were grown for 2.5 h, when the cells were pelleted, washed thoroughly and resuspended in medium without α-factor to release the cells to the cell cycle. At the indicated time point, cells were pelleted and snap-frozen. The cells were resuspended in urea lysis buffer and were lysed by bead beating. After clearing the lysate by centrifugation, the total protein concentration was measured with Bio-Rad Protein Assay Dye Reagent. Cln2-7myc and Whi7-13myc samples were loaded on 8% acrylamide SDS-PAGE gels. Cdc24-13myc phosphorylation was analyzed using 6% acrylamide Mn2+-Phos-tag SDS-PAGE gels supplemented with 25 µM Phos-tag [53 (link)]. The proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes using Pierce G2 Fast Blotter (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). For loading control, the membranes were stained with Ponceau S dye. Rabbit polyclonal c-myc antibody (sc-789, Santa Cruz Biotechology, Dallas, TX, USA) and HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG antibody (1:7500) from Labas, Estonia were used for detection of myc-tagged proteins.

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.
