SDS-PAGE and Immunoblotting for Protein Analysis

For sodium dodecyl sulfate‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS‐PAGE), cells were lysed in lysis buffer (25 mM Tris–HCl [pH 7.6], 150 mM NaCl, 1% NP‐40, 1% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate, and protease inhibitor cocktail). Lysates were centrifuged at 15,000 × g for 10 minutes at 4°C to remove debris. For immunoblotting, supernatants were subjected to 10 to 20% gradient SDS‐PAGE. Proteins were transfected onto a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane and probed with anti‐CPT1A (ab128568; Abcam, Cambridge, MA), anti‐β‐actin (MAB1501; EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA) and anti‐GAPDH (ab9485; Abcam) antibodies. This was followed by detection with an LAS‐4000 Mini instrument (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL). Signal intensities were quantified using ImageJ software (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/index.html).

Samples were resolved by SDS-PAGE and transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. After blocking in Tris-buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween-20 and 5% (w/v) nonfat dry milk, membranes were incubated with the appropriate primary antibodies, followed by the corresponding secondary antibodies. Bands were visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence, and the signals were detected on a LAS4000 mini-instrument (GE Healthcare).

Western Blot Protein Lysis and Detection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were lysed in lysis buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 2 mM PMSF, 2 mM EDTA, 2 mM imidazole, and 10 mM NaF, with or without 5 mM N-ethylmaleimide and 7.5 mM cysteine. Lysates were clarified by centrifugation at 20,000 × g for 20 min at 4°C. The proteins in the lysates were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes. After blocking in Tris-buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween-20 and 5% (wt/vol) nonfat dry milk, the membrane was incubated with the appropriate primary antibodies, followed by appropriate secondary antibodies (see Table S5). The membranes were visualized using enhanced chemiluminescence and a LAS4000mini instrument (GE Healthcare).

Cerebellar and Forebrain Protein Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cerebellar and forebrain homogenates were prepared from 8-week-old mice. The brains were homogenized with homogenate buffer containing 0.32 M sucrose, 1 mM NaHCO3, 1 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mM CaCl2, and protease inhibitors using a Teflon-glass homogenizer, followed by centrifugation at 710 × g for 10 min at 4°C, as described previously 54 . Proteins were quantified using the Quick Start Bradford Protein Assay (Bio-Rad). Equal amounts of protein were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to a PVDF membrane, and incubated with rabbit anti-pan NRXN (0.42 μg/ml) 55 and rabbit anti-β-actin (Abcam) (1:2000) antibodies, followed by incubation with a horseradish-peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody, respectively. Immunoreactive proteins were visualized using the ECL Select Western Blotting Detection System (GE Healthcare). Signals were detected on a Las-4000 mini instrument (GE Healthcare) and quantified using the ImageQuant TL image analysis software (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.
