Wild-type and Glu197Asp human ACTA1 genes were cloned into pCSDest vector (Addgene) as described.15 (link) Plasmids were linearized with restriction enzyme NotI, and RNA was transcribed using a kit (SP6mMessage Machine kit; Ambion). One-cell stage embryos were injected with 200 pg and 400 pg of RNA, and muscle was analyzedas described previously16 (link) using Acti-stain 670 (Cytoskeleton Inc) and antimyosin heavy chain antibody (F59; Santa Cruz Biotech).

Visualizing Acetylcholine Receptors and Cytoskeleton

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) and stained using AlexaFluor-555-bugarotoxin (BTX) (catalog no. B35451, Life Technologies) and Alexa-488-taged BTX (catalog no. B13422, Life Technologies). For labelling of AChRs in live cells BTX conjugates were added to the culture media for 5–7 min; internal AChR staining was performed after cell membrane permabilization with 0.5% Triton X-100 for 1 h. For masking of BTX binding sites on surface AChRs unlabelled BTX (catalog no. B1601, Life Technologies) was added to the culture media for 20 minutes. For microtubule disruption 10 µg/ml nocodazole (catalog no. M1404, Sigma) or DMSO (control) was added to the media for 6 hours. Microtubules were visualised with anti-tubulin (catalog no. ab18251, Abcam) and EB1 with anti-EB1 (catalog no. 610534, BD Biosciences). F-actin was stained with Acti-stain-670 (catalog no. PHDN1, Cytoskeleton).

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.
