Western blot analysis was performed on muscle homogenates as previously described [16 (link)]. Briefly, after electrophoretic separation on a 4–20% gradient acrylamide gel (Stain-free precast gel, Biorad, France) and electrotransfer to Immobilon P (Biorad, France), the membrane was incubated with primary antibodies and then HRP-labelled secondary antibodies (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories). Signal quantification was performed using a ChemiDoc Touch apparatus (Biorad, France) and the Image Lab software (Biorad). The amount of the chosen protein in each sample was corrected for differences in loading using either the amount of myosin, GAPDH or the total amount of proteins using the stain free system from Biorad, and normalized to the amount of the same protein present in the control, set to 100% as described previously [15 (link)]. Ten human controls (muscle biopsy from individuals non-affected by neuromuscular disease) of different age have been used, from 3.5 to 64 years. For each sample (mouse and human), 2–3 Western blots have been performed, and the value for each sample corresponds to the mean ± SEM of the different Western blots.

Yeast cells were grown for 48 h in YPD liquid medium and, then, inoculated in fresh YPD (initial O.D.600nm 0.25). Flasks were incubated under shaking (200 rpm) at 30°C and growth was followed till O.D.600nm ~1.0 (after 5 h). Culture samples were collected and total protein homogenates were prepared according to Yaffe and Schatz method [46 (link)] with minor modifications. NaOH and β-mercaptoethanol were added to a final concentration of 0.2 M and 1%, respectively. Tubes were incubated on ice for 2 minutes and, then, trichloroacetic acid was added to a final concentration of 6%. After incubation on ice for 10 minutes, tubes were centrifuged at maximum speed for 5 minutes. Supernatant was discarded and pellets were stored at -20°C until use or promptly resusspended in Laemlli sample buffer to obtain a 10-O.D. suspension. Proteins were separated by electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE, 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gel, 100 V, 2 hours) and electrotransferred to Immobilon-P for 20 min at 18 V in 25 mM Tris, 192 mM glycine and 10% methanol, using a trans-blot semi-dry cell (BioRad). Membranes were treated with anti-phospho-AMPKa Thr172 (Cell Signaling) or anti-HA (Sigma) antibodies. Blots were detected using the chemiluminescence ECL Plus kit (GE Healthcare).

Proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to a PVDF membrane (Immobilon-P, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Richmond, CA, USA). Equal amounts of protein (20–50 µg) were loaded in each lane. Uniformity of sample loading and transfer integrity were verified by staining with Ponceau-S. After transfer, the PVDF membranes were blocked with nonfat milk and incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies followed by secondary antibodies conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The levels of β-tubulin as a reference were detected using polyclonal rabbit anti-β-tubulin antibody, tubulin having already been widely used in similar experiments with microtubule poisons [18 (link),19 (link),20 (link)]. Detection of the immunoreaction was performed with an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) kit (Amersham BioSciences, Amersham, UK). Protein band densities were quantified using ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA) after scanning the images with a ChemiDoc MP Imaging System (Bio-Rad).
