Saturated overnight cultures were diluted 1:100 into 5 mL fresh LB broth supplemented with 0.2% arabinose and appropriate antibiotics. Cells grew at 37 °C until they reached the mid-logarithmic phase. Cultures were standardized by absorbance measurements at 600 nm and aliquots were collected and resuspended in an SDS-PAGE buffer. SDS-PAGE was used to resolve proteins which were then transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. Immunoblotting was performed overnight with monoclonal anti-FLAG (1:5,000), anti-Strep (1:1,000), anti-His (1:1,000), and polyclonal anti-MBP (1:15,000), anti-LamB (1:15,000), and anti-CpxR (1:30,000) antibodies, where appropriate. Blots were subsequently incubated with either anti-mouse or anti-rabbit antibodies conjugated to HRP for 1 h. Blots were developed by chemiluminescence and imaged on a BioRad ChemiDoc gel imager.

For DNA binding assays, a 40 bp double-stranded DNA was produced by annealing 5′-FAM Oligo #1 and Oligo #2 (see Key Resources Table). Binding reactions (30 μL) contained 50 nM dsDNA probe and 0.39-50 μM protein in binding buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.5, 50 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, and 5% glycerol), and were incubated 30 minutes at room temperature for binding. Pre-treated nitrocellulose (top; GE Healthcare) and nylon (GE Healthcare Hybond-N; bottom) membranes were assembled into a Bio-Rad bio-dot 96-well vacuum filtration apparatus. Samples were passed through the filtration apparatus, washed three times with 200 μL binding buffer, then imaged using a Bio-Rad Chemi-Doc gel imager. For Kd value calculation, images were quantified with ImageJ (Schneider et al., 2012 (link)), then binding curves were fit in Prism v. 8 (GraphPad Software).

To detect the long and short isoforms of BCL-X mRNA, RT-PCR was used. RNA was extracted using TRIzol reagent (Life Tech) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. RNA was then converted to cDNA using the RevertAid Reverse Transcriptase Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) with oligo-dT primers. Next, PCR was performed with the following primers: GAPDH (for: TGCACCACCAACTGCTTAGC; rev: TCAGCTCAGGGATGACCTTG), BCL-X set 1 (for: AGTAAAGCAAGCGCTGAGGGAG; rev: ACTGAAGAGTGAGCCCAGCAGA) [60 (link)], BCL-X set 2 (for: GAGGCAGGCGACGAGTTTGAA; rev: TGGGAGGGTAGAGTGGATGGT) [61 (link)].

Genomic DNA was extracted from 5 ml of sheep blood collected from the jugular vein using rapid salting-out methods.27 (link)
The Primer 3 online program28 (link)
was employed to design PCR primers based on the sequence of the ovine PTX3 (Oar_v4.0; Chr 1, NC_056054.1). To identify the optimal conditions for PCR amplification, we used a Bioneer premix and the Eppendorf thermal gradient apparatus from Germany. The PCR was performed, and thermal gradients were applied to determine the optimal amplification conditions, as detailed in Table 1. The amplification conditions were as follows: 5 minutes of initial denaturation at 94 °C; 30 seconds of denaturation at 94 °C; 45 seconds of annealing; 30 seconds of extension at 72 °C, for a total of 30 cycles; and 5 minutes of final extension at 72 °C followed by storage at 4 °C.29 (link)
Electrophoresis of PCR products on 2% agarose gels was performed and images were captured using a Chemidoc Gel Imager (Bio-Rad, Hercules, California).30 (link)

Triton-X (0.04%), Cy3-bischol-TBA29 (125 nM), Cy5-bischol-TBA15 (200
nM), and complementary DNA (100 nM) or scrambled DNA (100 nM) was

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.
