Quantifying Proteasome Subunits in Rat Brain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Western blotting was undertaken as previously described [35 (link)]. Briefly, crude brain homogenate was diluted 4:5 with 5x sample buffer (Genscript MB01015, USA), boiled for 5 min then stored at –20°C. Samples were loaded at 20μg/ml total protein on 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gel for protein separation, transferred to nitrocellulose membrane (Hydrobond C, Amersham Biosciences, Amersham, UK), and probed with Proteasome 19S ATPase subunit RPT6 (p45-110, Enzo Life Sciences, Exeter, UK, 1:2000), Proteasome 20S α3 subunit (MCP257, Enzo Life Sciences, Exeter, UK, 1:2000) Proteasome 20S α6 subunit, (MCP20, Enzo Life Sciences, Exeter, UK, 1:2000). Bands were detected using an Odyssey infrared fluorescent scanner, the integral of intensity quantified using Odyssey infrared imaging systems application software version 3.0.16 and expressed as ratios to rat cortex run on the same gel in arbitrary units. All samples were run in duplicate.

Immunoblot Analysis of Proteasome Subunits

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunoblot analyses of α and β-subunits of constitutive and immuno proteasomes, α-tubulin, free ubiquitin and polyubiquitinated proteins were performed as previously described21 (link),54 (link). Briefly, extracts were resolved by 18% (for free ubiquitin) or 12% (for polyubiquitinated conjugates and all other antigens) SDS-PAGE gel and transferred on Nitocellulose (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA, for polyubiquitinated conjugates) or Immobilon®-P (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany, for all other antigens) transfer membranes. Nitrocellulose membrane was boiled for 5 min to unmask poly-Ub antigens and so make more sensitive and quantitative the immunoblot. The membranes were then incubated in blocking buffer (5% BSA, 0.1%Tween-20 in 1 × PBS), followed by incubation with mAb anti-ubiquitin (P4D1, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), anti α-tubulin (T5168, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), anti-α3, -α4, -α5 (MCP196, MCP79, MCP257, Enzo Life Sciences, Farmingdale, NY, USA), anti-β1, -β2, -β5, -β1i -β2i, -β5i (gift of Prof. S. Ferrone, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA). Bound antibodies were visualized using the ECL technique and bands were detected with Hyperfilm™ ECL™ (GE Healthcare). Densitometric analysis was performed with a VersaDoc 1000 Imaging System and Quantity One software (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA).

Proteasomal Subunits Immunoblot Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
University of Turin's Institutional Research Information System and Open Access Institutional Repository
Immunoblot analyses of proteasomal non-catalytic sub-units b3, b4, b5, and a6, were performed as previously described (Favole et al., 2012) . Briefly, 75 ug of proteins recovered after ultracentrifugation of muscle extracts were separated on a 12% SDS-PAGE gel, and transferred on aImmobilon®-P transfer membrane (Millipore). The membrane was then incubated in blocking buffer (5% BSA, 0.1%Tween-20 in 1 × PBS), followed by incubation with primary monoclonal antibodies (MCP196, MCP106, MCP79,MCP257, Enzo Lifesciences). Bound antibodies were visualized using the ECL technique.

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.
