2D gel electrophoresis was performed as previously described (Liu et al., 2015 (link)). Total proteins from Kc cells were extracted with NP-40 lysis buffer as described above. The protein extracts from each treatment were precipitated with ice-cold trichloroacetic acid/acetone and were then redissolved in rehydration buffer (8 M urea, 4% 3-[(3-Cholamidopropyl)-dimethyl- ammonio]-1-propane sulfonate [CHAPS], 65 mM DTT, 0.2% ampholytes, and 0.001% bromophenol blue). Equal amounts of the total proteins (150 μg) from each sample were loaded onto an immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strip with the pH ranging from 3 to 10 (Bio-Rad). Isoelectric focusing (IEF) was performed using an Ettan IPGphor 3 IEF System (GE Healthcare) following the manufacturer’s instructions. After IEF, the IPG strips were successively equilibrated in a reducing solution (0.375 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.8, 2% DTT, 6 M urea, 2% SDS, and 20% glycerin) and an alkylating solution (0.375 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.8, 2.5% iodoacetamide, 6 M urea, 2% SDS, 20% glycerin) each with 15 min. The equilibrated strips were then subjected to 2D SDS-PAGE. After electrophoresis, the proteins were transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes for probing with an antibody against biotin.

Intracellular proteins were harvested from the mycelium of A. chrysogenum in the fermentation stage [60 ]. One-milligram protein samples were mixed with a thiourea rehydration solution (8 M urea, 2% CHAPS, 0.3% IPG buffer, 10 mM DTT, 0.002% bromophenol blue). A total of 450 μl of sample solution was loaded onto ReadyStrip Linear IPG strips (pH3-10 non-linear [NL], 24 cm; GE) at room temperature for 2 h (rehydration). Then, the strips were loaded onto an Ettan™ IPGphor™ 3 IEF System (GE). Proteins were focused at 20°C using the following program: 100 V, 3 h; 500 V, 2 h; 1000 V, 2 h; 3000 V, gradient to 2 h; 8,000 V, gradient to 8 h; 10,000 V, 5 h; 500 V, 5 h. The focused IPG strips were first equilibrated for 15 min with equilibrium bufferI(6 M urea, 50 mM Tris–HCl pH 8.8, 2% w/v SDS, 1% w/v DTT, 0.002% bromophenol blue). For the second equilibration, equilibrium bufferII (DTT was replaced with 2.5% iodoacetamide for the equilibrium buffer) was used. For the second-dimension polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), the equilibrium strips were placed onto 12.5% polyacrylamide in an Ettan Dalt Six apparatus (GE Healthcare) for 1 hour at 1watts/gel and then 2 watts/gel for 10 hours. Proteins were stained with Coomassie Blue G-250 (Amersco) for at least 3 h and destained in 10% (v/v) acetic acid until a clear background was obtained.

2DE was performed using the Ettan IPGphor 3 isoelecteric focusing system (GE Healthcare, USA). The incubation of the samples for 2DE was performed after sample preparation and IR-labeling. About 350 μg OMV Bp proteins was incubated overnight at laboratory temperature in DeStreak Rehydration solution (final volume = 250 μL) which contained 7 M urea, 2 M thiourea, 100 mM, 4% CHAPS, 0.2% carrier ampholyte, 0.0002% bromophenol blue, 4 mg of 50 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) and 1.5 μL of IPG buffer (pH 3-10 NL) (GE Healthcare). Immobiline Dry Strips pH 3-10 NL, 7 cm (GE Healthcare) were rehydrated with protein sample in an IPGbox (GE Health-care). Isoelectric focusing (IEF) was performed in an Ettan IPGphor 3 IEF system (GE Healthcare) according to the following conditions: 300 V for 30 min, 1000 V for 30 min, 5000 V for 90 min, finally 5000 V for 8 KVh, at 20 °C and a current limit of 50 μA per strip. After IEF, strips were equilibrated in 3 mL of equilibration buffer (150 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.8, 6 M urea, 50% glycerol, 20% SDS, and bromophenol blue) with DTT (2%) for 15 min at RT, followed by 3 mL of equilibration buffer with iodoacetamide (2.5%) for 15 min at RT. The proteins were separated in second dimension on 10% SDS -PAGE in a vertical electrophoretic dual gel system and were visualized by Coomassie (R-250) staining method (13 ).

Here, we briefly summarise the 2-DE procedure as the procedure was described in detail earlier [10 (link),23 (link),50 (link)]. Proteomic analysis of depleted plasma samples and prepared muscle biopsies was carried out using Ettan IPGphor 3 IEF System (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK) (first dimension) and Ettan DALTsix Electrophoresis Unit (Amersham, Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden) (second dimension). The fluorescent stain SYPRO Ruby (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) was applied to plasma protein gels, and silver stain was applied to muscle biopsy gels. The stained protein pattern was visualized using a charge coupled device camera (VersaDoc Imaging system 4000 MP, Bio-Rad). The PDQuest Advanced (v. 8.0.1, Bio-Rad) software was used to analyse and quantify the protein pattern. The amount of protein in a certain spot was assessed as background corrected optical density integrated over all pixels in the spot and expressed as integrated optical density (IOD). The parts per million (ppm) values for all proteins were generated and used for further statistical analysis.

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.
