Analyzing Mdm2 and MdmX Interaction

U2OS cells grown in 60-mm dishes were transfected with 1 μg Myc-MdmX and 6 μg wild-type Mdm2 or Mdm2 mutant plasmid constructs using Lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent (Invitrogen) and DMEM was changed 4 h later. Each transfection mixture also contained 0.1 μg pEGFP-N1 as a control for transfection efficiency. The empty plasmid pcDNA3.1 was used to bring the total amount of transfected DNA to 7.1 μg in cells transfected with MdmX expression plasmid alone. Cells were cultured for 30 h, washed with cold PBS, and lysed with 0.3 ml of SDS-PAGE sample buffer. Proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE and analyzed by Western blotting with anti-Myc 9E10 (Merck, MABE282, 1:1,000), anti-Mdm2 Ab-1 (Merck, OP46, 1:1,000), and anti-GFP 7.1/13.1 (Roche, 11814460, 1:5,000) antibodies.

Rabies Virus Protein Expression Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Transfection with plasmids that expressed RABV proteins was performed using Metafectane reagent, following the manufacturers’ instructions (Biontex). We added 500 nM 17-AAG to the transfected cells 6 h after infection, and the incubation was terminated 48 h after transfection. The protein extracts prepared with the RIPA buffer were resolved on 10% PAGE-SDS gels to detect myc-tagged G, M, N, and P proteins. 3xFLAG-L protein was resolved on 8% PAGE-SDS gel. The insoluble protein was separated by centrifugation for 20 min at 14,000× g and the pellet was solubilized in 8M urea before electrophoresis. The proteins were detected using monoclonal antibodies specific for Flag (Sigma, F3165) and myc (Merck, MABE282). A goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP antibody was obtained from Bio-Rad (cat. no. 170-6516). The original pictures were taken with a CCD camera with the exposure time adjusted to avoid pixel saturation. The registered signals were within the linear response range of the camera.

Analyzing Mdm2 and MdmX Interactions

HEK293 cells were transfected with 6 μg DNA per 100-mm plate using Lipofectamine 2000 reagent (Invitrogen). Cells were treated with a proteasome inhibitor (10 μM MG132 in cell culture medium) 24–36 h post-transfection, 4 h later washed with PBS, and lysed in Triton X-100 lysis buffer (1% Triton X-100, 150 mM NaCl, and 50 mM Tris pH 8.0) containing protease inhibitors (Complete Mini, Roche). Lysates were pre-cleared with 50 μl of protein G-Sepharose (Millipore). Immunoprecipitations were performed at 4°C with 1–2 μg of an antibody bound to 50 μl of protein G-Sepharose for 1 h. Mdm2 was immunoprecipitated with anti-Mdm2 antibody IF2 (Ab-1, Merck, OP46) and Myc-MdmX with anti-Myc antibody 9E10 (Merck, MABE282). Immunoprecipitated proteins were washed with lysis buffer and resuspended in SDS-PAGE sample buffer. Proteins from whole-cell extracts and immunoprecipitations were resolved by SDS-PAGE and analyzed by Western blotting with anti-Mdm2 Ab-1 (Merck, OP46, 1:1,000) and anti-Myc 9E10 (Merck, MABE282, 1:1,000) or anti-Myc A-14 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-789, 1:1,000).

Cells were lysed in 1X protein sample buffer (50mM Tris-HCl pH6.8, 2% SDS, 10% glycerol, 5% β-mercaptoethanol, 0.0025% Bromophenol blue). Protein samples were separated by 4–12% SDS-PAGE (NuPage, Life Technologies) and electroblotted onto PVDF membranes. The blots were probed with anti-H3K9me2 (Abcam, ab1220), anti-H3K9ac (Abcam, ab4441), anti-H3 (Abcam, ab12079), anti-Myc (Millipore, MABE282), anti-tubulin (Sigma-Aldrich, T5168), anti-RNase H1 (Proteintech, 15606-1-AP), anti-actin (Sigma-Aldrich, A2066), anti-G9A (CST, 3306S) or anti-Ago1 (CST, 5053S) antibodies.

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.
