Lipooligosaccharide (LPS) electrophoresis was used to compare the LPS pattern between throat and corresponding blood isolates and was carried out as described in [56 (link)]. Briefly, bacteria were grown over night on Columbia blood agar plates (bioMérieux).

The samples were boiled for 10 min and then cooled to 60°C. Then, 10 μl of proteinase K (Sigma-Aldrich) solution (2.5 mg/ml in lysis buffer) was added and samples were incubated at 60°C for 1 h. Equal volumes of sample and 2× Tricine sample solution (4% SDS, 12% glycerol, 50 mM Tris [pH 6.8], 2% β-mercaptoethanol, 0.01% Serva Blue G [Serva]) were mixed and boiled for 5 min, and then 3 μl per lane was loaded onto a Tricine-buffered polyacrylamide gel (16.5% acrylamide, 6% bis-acrylamide). After electrophoresis, gels were stained by silver staining as described in ref. [56 (link)] and photographed using a Bio-Rad ChemiDoc MP imaging system.

Isolation and Solubilization of Mitochondrial Membrane Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Frozen mitochondrial pellets were dissolved in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) supplemented with Complete Mini Protease Inhibitor (Roche Diagnostics Scandinavia AB, Stockholm, Sweden), and the mitochondrial protein concentrations were measured using Nanodrop (Fisher Scientific, Gothenburg, Sweden). Mitochondria were pelleted for 5 min at 5000 g and subsequently dissolved to a concentration of 5 mg protein/ml in MB2 buffer (1.75 M aminocaproic acid, 75 mM Bis-Tris, pH 7.0, 2 mM EDTA, pH 8.0). Mitochondrial membrane proteins were solubilized by incubation with 0.8% digitonin (Sigma Aldrich, Stockholm, Sweden) for 5 min on ice. Samples were centrifuged for 30 min at 13000 g, the supernatant was collected and the protein concentration measured as before. Finally, SBG (750 mM aminocaproic acid, 5% Serva Blue G from SERVA Electrophoresis GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany) was added to a final concentration of 4.5%. These samples were stored at −80°C for electrophoresis.

BN-PAGE (Schägger and von Jagow, 1991 (link)) was used for separation of the mitochondrial membrane protein complexes using 6-15% polyacrylamide (w/v) gradient gels with a Mini Protean® 3 System (Bio-Rad Laboratories). Mitoplasts or mitochondria were solubilized in DDM (n-dodecyl β-D-maltoside; Sigma-Aldrich) at a final DDM/protein ratio of 1.0 mg/mg in a buffer containing 1.5 M aminocaproic acid, 2 mM EDTA and 50 mM bis-Tris (pH 7.0) at 4°C. Serva Blue G (Serva) was added to the solubilized protein at a concentration of 0.1 mg/mg detergent and 10 μg protein was loaded into each lane.

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.
