Transfected HeLa and HCT116 cells were grown on coverslips for 24 and 48 hours, respectively, and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 10 min. During the last minute a few drops of 0.5% Triton X-100 in PBS were added to the cells. Afterwards cells were permeabilized in PBS with 0.5% Triton X-100 for 10 min. Cells were then washed with PBS-T (PBS with 0.1% Tween20) 3 times for 5 min. Subsequently they were incubated with the GFP-Booster-Atto488 (Chromotek) in 4% BSA in PBS-T for 1 h in a humidified chamber followed by 3 times 5 min washes in PBS-T. The second washing solution was supplemented with 50 ng/ml DAPI to counterstain the DNA. Alternatively, only DAPI staining was performed on fixed cells, and GFP fluorescence was directly visualized. Slides were mounted in Vectashield (Vector). Images were taken on a Zeiss Axiovert 200 inverted fluorescence microscope using the AxioVision software and processed with ImageJ and Adobe Photoshop.

Cells were fixed for 10 min with methanol at –20°C or 15 min with 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature and incubated with primary (45–60 min at room temperature) and secondary (30–45 min at room temperature) antibodies diluted in PBS supplemented with 0.1% saponin, 0.1% bovine serum albumin, and 0.02% sodium azide as described in the figure legends. DAPI (ThermoFisher) at 300 nM, and GFP-Booster Atto488 (Chromotek) at 1:400 dilution were added during incubation with secondary antibodies. Relative changes in AP-4 ε staining and ATG9A distribution in AAGAB-KO cells, as well as rescue following transfection with AAGAB-GFP, were assessed by manual scoring of cells using a Zeiss Axio Imager.A1 fluorescence microscope fitted with a Plan Apochromat 63×/1.4 Oil DIC M27 objective.

Hela or HeLa-FRT UBAP2L KO or parental cells were seeded in six-well dishes with coverslips at 25% confluency. Cells were transfected the day after with 250 ng DNA and 1 μL or jet OPTIMUS (Polyplus) reagent overnight in DMEM media supplemented with FBS (10%) (HyClone) and PenStrep (1%) (Thermo Scientific). Media was changed to media containing 0.5 μM sodium arsenite for 30 min to induce stress granules formation. After washing with PBS cells were fixed for 20 min with 4% formaldehyde in PBS. Cells were premeballized for 10 min with PBS 0.5% Triton-100. Following three 5-min washes with PBS-T (0.05% Tween), 25 mM Glycine was incubated overnight at 4 °C. Coverslips were blocked in TBST (0.05% Tween) 3% BSA for 45 min at room temperature. Primary antibodies (anti-G3BP1 mouse abcam #ab56574, anti-FXR1 mouse clone 6BG10 Milipore #05-1529, GFP booster atto488 (Chromotek)) were incubated at 1:400 dilution in 3% BSA TBST (0.05% Tween) overnight at 4 °C. Following three 5-min washes with TBST (0,05% Tween), coverslips were incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. Coverslips were mounted in MOWIOL mounting solution (Calbiochem #475904) and imaged on a Delta-Vision Elite microscope (DeltaVision) with 60x oil objective.

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.
