Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Western blots were performed as previously described65 (link). Haemolymph was collected from 4-day-old male adults. In brief, each fly was cut a small opening at the abdomen (avoid damaging the internal organs, e.g., intestine, etc) using fine-forceps or scissors. The flies were placed into in a 0.5 mL tube (20 flies/tube, small holes were pricked at the bottom) that was placed on top of a 1.5 mL tube containing 5 µl 2× SDS loading buffer. The 1.5 mL tubes were centrifuged at 1 × 104 rpm for 5 min at 20 °C. The total protein was separated on 10% Bis-Tris Protein Gels and transferred onto PVDF membranes (pore size 0.45 μm, Immobilon®-P, Thermoscientific) using constant current 200 mA for 90 min. The membranes were blocked with 5% milk in 1xTBST for 2 hours at room temperature. Incubation with primary antibodies was performed at 4 °C overnight with shaking. Incubation with secondary antibodies was performed at room temperature for 2 hours. The following antibodies were used: rabbit anti-Hh (1:5000), HRP conjugated anti-rabbit (1:5000, GE). The membranes were developed with the Azure 600 imaging system. The protein levels were quantified using Fiji software and normalized against Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) stained total protein on the membranes.

Prior to immunoprecipitation, anti-Flag M2 affinity agarose beads (20 μL bead slurry, Sigma-Aldrich) were washed twice with cold TBS (Tris Buffered Saline, 500 μL; 20 mM Tris-Cl at pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl). Lysates containing either wild type or mutant HDAC-Flag expressed proteins (1 mg total protein) were incubated with prewashed anti-Flag M2 agarose beads at 4°C overnight with rotation. After immunoprecipitation, beads were washed three times with lysis buffer (1 mL) containing high salt (500 mM NaCl). For the LSD1 binding assay, bound proteins were eluted with SDS buffer (20 μL; 100 mM Tris-Cl at pH 6.8, 4% SDS, 20% glycerol, 0.008% bromophenol blue) by boiling at 95°C for 5 min. For the p53 binding assay, bound proteins were eluted with TBS containing 3xFlag peptide (APEXBIO; 40 μL; 0.25 mg mL−1 in TBS) for 30 min at 4°C. The eluted proteins were mixed with SDS loading dye (10 μL; SDS buffer containing 10% v/v β-mercaptoethanol) and boiled at 95°C for 2 min. As controls, lysates without immunoprecipitation (50 μg) were denatured with SDS loading dye (5 μL) by boiling at 95°C for 2 min. Proteins were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membrane (Immobilon P, Fischer Scientific), and immunoblotted with monoclonal FLAG® M2 (F3165, Sigma), LSD1 (L4418, Sigma) or p53 (sc-126, SantaCruz Biotechnology) antibodies.

HEK 293 cells and kidneys from fed animals were homogenized in lysis buffer (Tris 50 mM pH 7.9, 1% triton X-100, 0.1% Tween20, 150 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, 5 mM MgCl2) or in a specific buffer for Co-IP experiments (50 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA, 10 mM MgCl2, 5 mM EGTA, 0.5% Triton X-100, pH 7.28). For Co-IP experiments, lysates were incubated with specific antibodies and IgG, as control, as described65 (link). Co-IP experiments were performed at least three times. Western blot (WB) studies were performed at least in triplicate and representative images were shown. For Co-IP experiments the ratio of IP proteins with respect to the input was 1:50. Blots were quantified by ImageJ. The control was settled as 1 and the fold change was calculated and reported below the panels as the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). Animals were perfused with PBS to eliminate blood traces for detection of the GH protein. Lysates were treated with protease inhibitors from Sigma-Aldrich (P8340) and phosphatase inhibitors from Roche (PhosSTOP, 04906837001). Polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes were used for Immunoblot (Millipore, US, Immobilon-P, IPVH00010) and ECL western blotting reagent (Thermoscientific, 32106) or Femto (Thermoscientific, 34095) were used for detection.

Western blotting was carried out with the Molecular Devices ScanLater system (San Jose, CA), as described previously40 (link). Briefly, cells were harvested in RIPA buffer with protease and phosphatase inhibitors and agitated for an hour at 4 °C before protein quantification with a Pierce BCA (bicinchoninic acid) assay. Equal amounts of protein were loaded on precast Bolt 4–12% Bis/Tris gels (Invitrogen) and run at 150 V for 45–60 min in Bolt MOPS(3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid) buffer before transfer onto a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Immobilon-P) in Bolt transfer buffer for 1.5 h at 25 V. Membranes were cut horizontally to enable high quality imaging with multiple antibodies per blot, blocked with 1 × ScanLater buffer, probed with primary antibodies overnight, rinsed with ScanLater wash buffer, and then probed with Eu-labeled (europium labeled) secondary antibodies (goat antimouse: R8205, goat antirabbit: R8204) for 1 h before rinsing membranes and drying them. Dry membranes were imaged with a SpectraMax i3x with a Western blot cartridge (Molecular Devices). Running and transfer buffers were obtained from ThermoFisher Scientific (Waltham, MA), and blots were normalized to loading control, vinculin, and quantified with Licor ImageStudio Lite Version 5.2 software (Lincoln, NE).

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.
