Proteins from SbCCoAOMT overexpression lines and wild-type plants were isolated from ground leaf and stalk tissue collected from the first set of greenhouse grown plants. Proteins were extracted using an extraction buffer containing protease inhibitor (Sigma-Aldrich Co. P9599) (Sattler et al., 2009). Protein concentrations were measured using the Pierce 660nm Protein Assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Western blot analysis was conducted as previously described in Sattler et al. (2009). Briefly, the membrane was probed with primary antibody (polyclonal rabbit anti-SbCCoAOMT) at a 1:1000 dilution. Actin content was used as a loading control, and determined using a mouse anti-Actin monoclonal antibody (Sigma-Aldrich Co., A0480) at a 1:20,000 dilution. The secondary antibodies goat anti-rabbit (CCoAOMT; Sigma-Aldrich Co., A0545) and goat anti-mouse (Actin) IgG + horseradish peroxidase (Sigma-Aldrich Co., A4416) were used at dilutions of 1:8000 and 1:20,000, respectively. The secondary antibody was detected using chemiluminescence with Amersham ECL Western blotting reagent (GE Healthcare). Imaging of chemiluminescence was performed on a BioRAD ChemiDoc XRS+ instrument (BioRAD).

Western blot analysis of phospho-NF-κB p65 was performed using extracts of ARPE-19 cells prepared with cell lysis buffer (Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA) containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors. The proteins in the cell extracts were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and then blotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Immunoreactive bands on blots were detected with Amersham ECL prime Western blot detection reagents (GE Healthcare, Pittsburgh, PA) using anti-phospho-NF-kB p65 (Ser536) antibody (Cell Signaling Technology). The blot was then stripped and reprobed with mouse anti-actin monoclonal antibody (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). Chemiluminescence films were scanned and the signal intensities of immunoreactive bands were estimated using Image Studio (Li-Cor Biosciences).
The active form of NF-κB p65 present in the ARPE-19 cell extracts was also analyzed using the TransAM NFκB p65 transcription factor assay kit (Active Motif, Carlsbad, CA). Briefly, the transcription factor is detected by ELISA after capturing it with an oligonucleotide containing NF-κB consensus sequence.

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.
