Cells were lysed in RIPA buffer (150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 50 mM Tris- HCl, pH 8.0) supplemented with protease Inhibitor Complete Mini (Roche, 000000011836170001) on ice for 15 min. The cell lysates were rotated at 4 °C for 30 min and the insoluble material was removed by centrifugation at 15,000 g for 15 min. Protein concentrations were determined by Bio-Rad Protein Assay using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the standard. Following the normalization of protein concentrations, lysates were mixed with an equal volume of 2X Laemmli sample buffer and incubated for 5 min at 95 °C prior to separation by SDS PAGE on stain-free TGX gradient gels (Bio-Rad). Following SDS-PAGE, the proteins were transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (300 mA for 90 min at 4 °C). The membranes were then blocked with BSA (Sigma-Aldrich) dissolved in PBS/Tween-20 (3% BSA, 0.5% Tween-20 for 1–2 hours), followed by immunoblotting with the primary antibody specified for each experiment for PIWIL2 (Abcam, ab181340 diluted at 1:1000), PIWIL4 (Abcam ab 111714, diluted at 1:1000), and beta Actin (Abcam ab1801, diluted at 1:1000).

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.
