Total cell lysates were electrophoresed on 5–20% SDS-polyacrylamide gels, and the fractionated products were electroblotted onto Hybond-P membranes (GE Healthcare Bio-Sci. Corp., Piscataway, NJ). The membranes were blocked in Blocking One (Nacalai Tesque, Kyoto, Japan) or ECL Prime Blocking reagent (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences, Piscataway, NJ, USA) for 30 min at RT55 (link),56 (link). The following antibodies were then applied: mouse anti-XLF monoclonal antibody (D-1, 1:500) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), rabbit anti-GFP polyclonal antibody (FL, 1:4000) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), or mouse β-actin monoclonal antibody (AC-15, 1:500) (Sigma-Aldrich). The antibodies were diluted in Signal Enhancer HIKARI (Nacalai Tesque). Binding to each protein was detected using the Select Western blotting detection system (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences) and visualized using the ChemiDoc XRS system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA).

The specificity of the CRT PAb for hyacinth was verified by Western blot analysis according to a previously described protocol (Lenartowski et al. 2015 (link)). In brief, 100 mg of whole hyacinth and maize (positive control) pistils was powdered in liquid nitrogen, and the soluble proteins were extracted with 50 mM Tris–HCl (pH 7.5), 1 mM EGTA, 2 mM DTT plus 1 mM PMSF, and Complete Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Roche). After centrifugation at 16,000 g for 30 min at 4 °C, the supernatants were collected, and the protein concentrations were determined by the Lowry method (Bio-Rad DC Protein Assay). Equal amounts of proteins (15 μg/lane) were separated by electrophoresis on a 12.0 % SDS-PAGE gel, transferred to Hybond-P membrane (GE Healthcare), and blocked with 2 % ECL Prime™ blocking reagent (GE Healthcare). The blots were probed with CRT PAb, washed, and then re-probed with anti-rabbit IgG antibody that was conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP, Sigma). The final detection was performed with the Amersham ECL Advance Western Blotting Detection Kit according to the manufacturer’s guidelines (GE Healthcare).

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.
