Mitochondria were isolated from B cells using Mitochondria isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec)
following manufacturer's instructions with some modifications. Briefly, frozen B cells
(2–10 × 107 cells) were directly resuspended in pre-cooled phosphate-buffered
saline (1 ml per 108 total cells) supplemented with ethylenediamine tetraacetatic
acid (EDTA; 2 mM), anti-protease and –phosphatase inhibitors and benzonase
(50 U), and incubated for 20 min at 4 °C. Cell homogenization was performed
with a 26-G needle stepwise using 5–10 stokes. Lysates were diluted to 1 × separation
buffer (Miltenyi Biotec) and proceeded to magnetic labeling by incubation with anti-Tom22 magnetic
beads for 1 h at 4 °C on a wheel. The labeled cell lysate was loaded on a MACS
column placed in a magnetic field and let run through. Lysates were re-loaded three times. Column
was then intensively washed out and the magnetically labeled mitochondria were then flushed out.
Pre- and post-mitochondria-purified fractions were separated by SDS-PAGE and the presence of
cytoplasmic β-actin protein, Mt hsp60 or NDUFA9 proteins, and nuclear KDM1a were
evaluated by western blot analysis using monoclonal anti-β-actin (AC-15,
Sigma-Aldrich), -hsp60 (Biosciences Inc., Allentown, PA, USA), -NDUFA9 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and
KDM1a (Cell Signaling Technology).

Blue native gel electrophoresis was performed in differentiated 3T3 cells. Samples were prepared as previously described78 (link) with slight modifications. Briefly, 2 × 106 adipocytes were resuspended in 200 µl PBS. To permeabilize the plasma membrane, 70 µl of digitonin (8 mg ml−1 freshly prepared) was added to the cell suspension and samples were incubated on ice for 10 min. After this incubation, 1 ml of ice-cold PBS was added and samples were centrifuged at 4 C at 10,000g for 10 min, the pellet was then resuspended in 100 µl of BN sample buffer (500 mM 6-aminohexanoic acid, 50 mM imidazole, 1 mM ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, pH 7). Mitochondrial supercomplexes were solubilized by adding 10 µl of digitonin 10%. Samples were incubated on ice for 5 min and then centrifuged at 4 C at 20,000g for 30 min. Supernatant containing supercomplexes were mixed with 5% Blue G-250, 5% glycerol in BN sample buffer and loaded on a 4–12% native gel (Invitrogen) following the manufacturer’s recommendations.

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.
