E. coli JM109 strain, used for sub-cloning, and its derivatives were grown at 37 °C with 250 rpm shaking in LB medium ((g L  1): yeast extract (BTL, Lodz, Poland), 5; bactopeptone (BTL), 10; NaCl (POCh, Gliwice, Poland), 5), supplemented with kanamycin (Sigma Aldrich, Merck KGaA, St. Louis, USA, 40 (μg mL−1)) and agar (Biomaxima, Lublin, Poland; 15 (g L  1)), when required. Y. lipolytica Po1f strain (ura‐ leu‐, ATCC MYA2613) was used as a parental strain for co-transformations. Y. lipolytica Po1h strain (ura-, leu+) transformed with a URA3 marker cassette was used as a negative control strain for assessment of background fluorescence. Yeast strains were routinely maintained in a minimal yeast nitrogen base medium (YNB; (g L  1): YNB (Sigma-Aldrich, Merck KGaA), 1.7; (NH4)2SO4 (PoCh), 5; glucose (PoCh), 20), or in a rich yeast extract-peptone-dextrose medium (YPD; (g L  1): yeast extract, 10; bactopeptone, 20; glucose, 20), solidified with agar (15 (g L  1)) when required, at 30 °C and with 250 rpm shaking, for liquid cultures.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All experiments were performed at 30°C. Budding yeast (S. cerevisiae) were cultured in YPA (1% Bacto-yeast extract (Y), 2% Bacto-peptone (P), 0.025% adenine hemi-sulfate (A; Sigma)) supplemented with 2% glucose (D; Sigma) or in csm (complete supplement mixture; Sunrise Science Products) to maintain selection for centromeric plasmids. For one experiment, we used S. pombe strain MKSP3186, which was cultured overnight in YE5S (yeast extract (YE), 250 mg/L adenine, histidine, leucine, uracil, and lysine hydrochloride).
To induce autophagy by nitrogen starvation, cells in log phase were washed and resuspended in synthetic defined medium lacking nitrogen (sd-N) (0.17% Difco Yeast Nitrogen Base without amino acids and ammonium sulfate, and 2% D). Samples were collected at time points indicated in the figures and were prepared for extraction of RNA, fluorescence microscopy, or immunoblotting as described below.
To induce autophagy by inhibiting Tor1 kinase by treatment with rapamycin, rapamycin (in DMSO; Sigma-Aldrich) was added to cells in log phase to a final concentration of 250 ng/mL. Samples collected at time points indicated in the figures were prepared for extraction of RNA for RT-qPCR.

Candida albicans cultures were prepared from strain HGFP3 (provided by Katharina Ribbeck, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, with the permission of P. Sundstrom).26 (link) The C albicans colonies were grown on YPD agar plates (2% Bacto Peptone [Sigma-Aldrich], 2% glucose, 1% yeast extract, 2% agar) at 30°C. For preparation of liquid cultures, individual colonies were inoculated into YPD broth and grown with shaking at 30°C for 12 hours. Samples from this stock were diluted to a desired optical density in YPD broth prior to experimentation.

Cell culture was done according to the protocols established by the DGRC (Drosophila Genome Resource Center). S2-R+ cells were grown in Schneider’s Drosophila medium (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin. Kc167 cells were grown in Shields and Sang M3 insect medium (Sigma) supplemented with 0.25% Bacto Peptone, 0.1% Yeast Extract, and 10% FBS. BG3-c2 cells were grown in Shields and Sang M3 medium (Sigma) supplemented with 10% FBS and 20 µg/ml insulin (Sigma). 20-hydroxyecdysone (20-HE) stimulation was done by adding 20-HE at the final concentration of 5 µM and incubating cells for the indicated times. The presence of mycoplasma in the cell lines used in this study (S2-R+, Kc167 and BG3-c2) was tested by Universal Mycoplasma Detection Kit (ATCC, #30-1012K) and no mycoplasma contamination was detected.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bristol N2 (wild type) Caenorhabditis elegans obtained from the Caenorhabditis Genetic Center were used in the larval development and growth assay. The transgenic C. elegans strain PE255 [ sur-5::luc+::gfp ; rol-6(su1006)] used in the ATP assay (Lagido et al. 2009 (link)) was also obtained from the Caenorhabditis Genetic Center; this strain expresses luciferase to measure in vivo ATP levels and GFP (green fluorescent protein) as a marker of live animals. All nematodes were maintained at 20°C on K-agar plates seeded with OP50 Escherichia coli (Caenorhabditis Genetic Center) as a food source (Williams and Dusenbery 1988 (link)), or as age-synchronized cultures of first stage larvae (L1s) by hatching embryos in the absence of food, causing L1 development to arrest, as previously described (Boyd et al. 2009 (link)). The K-agar plates are made at NIEHS from 2% bacto-agar, 0.25% bacto-peptone, 51mM sodium chloride, 32mM potassium chloride, and 13μM cholesterol (Sigma-Aldrich); complete K-medium consists of 51mM sodium chloride, 32mM potassium chloride, 3mM calcium chloride, 3mM magnesium sulfate, and 13μM cholesterol was also made at NIEHS.

C. neoformans var. grubii type strain H99 was stored in 15% glycerol at -80°C until use, at which point it was maintained on YPD at 4°C for a maximum of two weeks; this strain was used for all transformations. C. neoformans was cultured in liquid (2% bacto-peptone, 1% yeast extract, and 2% glucose (Sigma, USA)) or solid (2% agar added) YPD media at 30°C. Biolistic transformations were performed on solid YPD media supplemented with 1 M sorbitol (Sigma, USA), and transformants were selected on solid YPD medium containing 100 μg/mL G418 (Sigma, USA). Adenine auxotrophy was detected on YNB media (0.45% yeast nitrogen base w/o amino acids and ammonium sulfate, 2% glucose, 0.5% ammonium sulfate, 2% agar (Sigma, USA)), and melanin production on L-DOPA media (Sigma, USA) [28 (link)].

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.
