Proteins containing the V5 epitope were detected with a mouse monoclonal anti-V5 (Sigma, V8012) and HA-tagged proteins with a rabbit anti-HA (Sigma H6908). The rabbit polyclonals against eIF3i and eIF3h were sourced from Proteintech Group (11287-1-AP) and Sigma (AY50491), respectively. Other anti-eIF3 subunit antibodies used were; anti-eIF3a, Cell Signaling (#2538); anti-eIF3b, Santa Cruz (sc16377); anti-eIF3c, Sigma (E6408). A rabbit polyclonal against an N-terminal sequence of c-Myc was from Abcam (ab11917). Subunit-specific rabbit polyclonals against individual CCT subunits and an antibody to RPL7a have been characterized elsewhere (Roobol and Carden, 1999 (link)). α-tubulin was detected with the TAT mouse monoclonal (Woods et al., 1989 (link)) which was a kind gift from Prof. Keith Gull (University of Oxford, UK). β-actin was detected with the mouse monoclonal AC-15 (Sigma). For western blot detection of pulldown proteins a protein A-HRP conjugate (Millipore) was used, otherwise anti-rabbit, -mouse or -goat-HRP was used as secondary.

Immunoprecipitation of eIF3 Complexes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
eIF3 complexes were immunoprecipitated from WCEs, the preparation of which is described above, using GammaBind G Sepharose (GE Healthcare, cat # 17-0885-01) with either anti-eIF3b (Santa Cruz, cat # sc-16377) or anti-eIF3f (kind gift of Dr Hiroaki Imataka) primary antibodies. The detailed CoIP protocol was reported previously (39 (link)). To visualize western signals particularly from the eIF3f-CoIP, a protein-A linked to peroxidase (GE Healthcare, cat # NA9120) had to be used because of the rabbit origin of the eIF3f antibodies.

Immunoprecipitation of eIF3b Protein Complexes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein A/G-agarose (Pierce; catalog no. 20421) was preincubated with anti-eIF3b (Santa Cruz; catalog no. sc-16377) for 2 h while rotating at 4°C (around 2 μg of the antibody per 100 μl of the 50% protein A/G slurry in buffer A without protease inhibitors and Triton X-100). For the negative control, incubation was carried out without antibodies. Preincubated agarose beads were washed several times with buffer A, WCE diluted in buffer A was added (∼1 mg of total protein with the final concentration of Triton X-100 at ∼0.3%), and the mixture was incubated overnight at 4°C while rotating. Subsequent washing steps were performed with buffer A containing ∼0.3% of Triton X-100. Coimmunoprecipitated (co-IP) proteins were eluted in a denaturing loading buffer by boiling, and the eluate was analyzed by SDS-PAGE followed by Western blotting. Pretreatment of cells with a cross-linking agent (HCHO) had no visible effect on the final outcome and thus was not routinely used.

Immunofluorescence and Confocal Microscopy Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy was carried out on cell lines grown on coverslips and fixed using 4% (w/v) paraformaldehyde (BDH Laboratory Supplies, Poole, UK) and permeabilised using 0.1% (v/v) Triton X-100 (Sigma Chemicals). Staining was carried out using anti-eIF3b (Santa Cruz, Heidelberg, Germany), anti-TIA-1 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and DAPI (Sigma Chemicals) was used as a nuclear stain. Coverslips were mounted onto microscopy slides using mounting media (Dako). Cells were imaged on the Olympus immunofluorescence microscope and captures using the Olympus 1 × 81 Camera (Olympus, Essex, UK). For confocal microscopy images were captures on a Leica microscope using the LAS AF software (Leica Microsystems, Milton Keynes, UK).

Stress Granule Induction and Visualization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The day prior to the experiment, 105 U2OS cells were seeded onto 11 mm glass coverslips and allowed to attach overnight at 37 °C/5 % CO2 in DMEM containing 10 % FBS (Gibco). Cells were treated with 100 μM sodium (meta)arsenite (Sigma Aldrich) for 1 h to induce the formation of stress granules and then with 4 % paraformaldehyde solution at room temperature for 15 minutes followed by blocking and permeabilization with 5 % normal horse serum, 0.1 % digitonin in Tris-buffered saline. Staining was performed with anti-eIF3b (Santa Cruz), anti-SK1-Hedls (Santa Cruz), and patient sera for 1 h at room temperature. Secondary antibodies (anti-goat-Cy3, anti-mouse-Cy2, and anti-human-Cy5) were purchased from Jackson Laboratories and incubated at room temperature for 1 h. Conventional fluorescence microscopy was performed using a microscope (model Elipse E800, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) with epifluorescence optics with a digital camera (model CCD-SPOT RT; Diagnostic Instruments, Sterling Heights, MI). Images were compiled using Adobe Photoshop software (CS6; Adobe Systems, San Jose, CA).

Immunofluorescence Staining of HeLa Cells

HeLa cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS at room temperature for 20 min, washed three times with PBS. Nonspecific binding sites were blocked with 10% normal goat serum, 0.1% Triton X-100 for 1 h at room temperature. The cells were then stained for 2 h at room temperature with the primary binder / antibody. After that, the cells were washed three times with PBS containing 0.1% TritonX-100, following by staining for 1 h with the secondary antibody. Finally, cells were washed three times with PBS containing 0.1% Triton X-100, and mounted with ProLong Gold Antifade reagent with DAPI (Invitrogen). Alexa Fluor 488 or 647 conjugated F(ab')₂ fragment goat anti-human IgG, F(ab')2 fragment specific (Jackson ImmunoResearch) was used as the secondary antibody (1:500) when using sAB-K29 as the primary binder (2 μg/mL). Other primary antibodies are diluted as followed: Anti AuroraB (Fisher,1:500); Anti α-Tubulin (Genscript, 1:50-1:100); Anti ɑ-Tubulin (proteintech, 1:200); Anti c-Myc (Genscript, 0.5 μg/mL); Anti EIF3B (Santa Cruz, 1:100); Anti INCENP (Santa Cruz,1:100), Anti MKLP1(Santa Cruz, 1:100); Anti Proteasome 20S core subunits (Fisher, 1:250); Anti K48-Ub (Abcam, 1:200); Anti VCP (Santa Cruz,1:200); Anti G3BP1 (proteintech,1:500); Anti pTBK1 (cell signaling,1:50); Anti PLK1 (Santa Cruz,1:50). Images were collected by a Leica SP5 2photon laser scanning confocal microscope.

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.
