TAMRA-labeled 13A in a solution containing 0.2% Triton X-100 and 25 mM EDTA was centrifuged at 22,000 g at 4°C for 30 min as essentially described [32 (link)]. The resultant supernatant was collected as the soluble fraction. Then, the pellet was re-dissolved with a same volume of a solution containing 2% SDS and 25 mM EDTA as the insoluble fraction.
One microliter of each fraction was dropped onto PVDF membrane pre-soaked with methanol. The TAMRA signal was detected by ImageQuantTM LAS 4010 (GE Healthcare, Chalfont Saint Giles, UK). Mean signal intensity and the area of the signal were measured using Image J software and were multiplied to yield the amount of 13A in each fraction. Percentages of the amounts of 13A in insoluble fractions relative to the amounts in soluble fractions were calculated.

Proteome profiler human phospho-kinase arrays were purchased from R&D Systems, Inc. (Minneapolis, MN, United States). Ten million J-Lat 5A8 cells were treated for 30 min with 200 nM rGal-9 or an equivalent volume of PBS. Cells were washed twice in cold PBS and processed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, the cells were lysed for 30 min on a rotating shaker at 4°C. Lysates were centrifuged at 14,000 g for 5 min, and supernatants were incubated on the array membrane overnight on an orbital shaker at 4°C. Membranes were washed three times and incubated for 2 h at room temperature with anti-horseradish peroxidase antibody. After another three washes, membranes were incubated for 1 min with Chemi Reagent. Membrane images were captured using ImageQuant LAS 4010 (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences, Pittsburg, PA, United States) and densitometry analysis was performed with Image Studio Lite Version 5.2 (LI-COR Biotechnology, Lincoln, NE, United States).

In Vitro Binding Assay for CLASP2-N2 and PAR3-2N

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The in vitro binding assay was performed as described previously (Watanabe et al., 2009 (link)). Briefly, purified MBP-tagged CLASP2-N2 was mixed with affinity beads coated with GST–PAR3-2N in buffer A. The beads were then washed with buffer A, and the bound proteins were eluted with buffer A containing 10 mM reduced glutathione. The eluates were subjected to SDS–PAGE, followed by immunoblot analysis using an anti-MBP antibody. The amount of CLASP2-N2 bound to GST-PAR3-2N was detected in a linear range using serial dilutions of standards by chemiluminescent detection and estimated with a Densitograph (ATTO, Tokyo, Japan) or with the ImageQuant LAS 4010 (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences). Purified CLASP2-N2 was used as the standard for quantification.

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.
