Samples were incubated with 0.04 µg dithiothreitol (DTT, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) per µg protein at 56 °C for 30 min. After incubation with 0.2 µg iodoacetamide (IAA, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) per µg protein for 30 min at RT in the dark, the reaction was quenched with 0.2 µg DTT per µg protein. Sequencing-grade trypsin (1 µg per 75 µg protein, Promega, Fitchburg, WI, USA) was added and samples were incubated for 4 h at 37 °C. After a further aliquot of trypsin (1 µg per 75 µg protein) was added, the samples were incubated at 37 °C overnight. The digestion was stopped by acidifying the samples to a pH of 2.5 by adding trifluoroacetic acid (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).

Then, the sample mixture was incubated at room temperature with 1.25 μL of 0.2 M DTT to remove excess IAA. The sample mixture was then treated with 5 μL of 200 ng/μL trypsin (Sigma-Aldrich) at 37 °C for at least 5 h with shaking (1000 rpm), followed by heat inactivation of the enzyme at 100 °C for 5 min. N-Glycans were enzymatically released from trypsin-digested glycopeptides by incubation with 1 μL Rapid PNGase F (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA) at 37 °C for at least 16 h with shaking (1000 rpm).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PEG-DTT hydrogels were prepared by the Michael addition reaction using poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) (molecular weight: 700, Sigma-Aldrich, United States) and DTT (Sigma-Aldrich, United States) over the sodium tetraborate catalyst. AM1241 (0, 1, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 120, and 200 µM) (Sigma-Aldrich, United States) was then immediately added to this solution and mixed to prepare a finished AM1241-loaded PEG-DTT hydrogel. First, 100 mg of PEGDA (0.14 mM) and 22 mg of DTT (0.14 mM) were dissolved in 0.5 ml of water. Then, 0.5 ml of 0.1 mol/L borax (Sigma-Aldrich, United States) solution was added to the mixture and stirred vigorously for 10 s. Keep the solution at room temperature (25°C) for a while and check the gelation time by tube inversion.

The protocol reported by Niu et al. [12 (link)] was used for protein extraction and precipitation with some modifications. The supernatants were precipitated for 6 hours by adding 5 ml of ice-cold trichloroacetic acid (TCA)/acetone buffer (10% TCA (Merck) and 10 mM dithiothreitol (DTT)(Sigma-Aldrich) in acetone (Fisher Scientific)) to 1 ml of the sample. Then, the sample was centrifuged at 15,000 g for 10 min at 4°C, and the supernatant was discarded. The precipitated pellet was washed thrice with ice-cold 10 mM DTT (Sigma-Aldrich)-acetone (Fisher Scientific) solution and air-dried in a fume hood for 20–30 minutes. The protein pellet was resuspended in 300 μl of solubilization buffer [8 M urea (Sigma-Aldrich), 10 mM DTT (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.1 M triethylammonium bicarbonate (TEAB)(Sigma-Aldrich) at pH 8.5] by vortexing for 20 minutes. The sample was then centrifuged at 15,000 g for 15 min at 20°C twice, and the pellet was discarded.

For studying apoptotic markers, protoplasts of C. auris MRL6057 were prepared as explained previously [21] (link). Briefly, cells grown for 8 h were then exposed for 4 h to ¼ MIC, ½ MIC and MIC of test compounds. For the purpose of washing and resuspending yeast cells different protoplast buffers (PB) were prepared. After exposure with test compounds, cells were washed and incubated in PB-1 (1 M sorbitol, (Sigma Aldrich Co., USA), 0.05 M tris base (Merck, Germany), 0.01 M MgCl2 (Sigma Aldrich Co., USA), 0.03 M DTT (Merck, Germany), pH 7.4) for 10 min at room temperature. Post-incubation, cells were harvested at 1500 rpm for 5 min and pellet was mixed and incubated in PB-2 (1 M sorbitol, 0.05 M tris base, 0.01 M MgCl2, 0.001 M DTT, pH 7.4) supplemented with lyticase enzyme (1 μg/mL; Sigma Aldrich Co., USA) at room temperature for 1 h. Next, cell suspensions were centrifuged, and pellets were resuspended and incubated in PB-3 (1 M sorbitol, 0.05 M tris base, 0.01 M MgCl2, pH 7.4) at room temperature for 20 min. Post-incubation cell suspension was centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 5 min and pellets with protoplasts were washed and mixed in fresh PBS and stored at 4 °C until further use.

Control larvae were allowed to grow either on LSD or HSD diet until pre-wandering. For DTT treatment, three groups of ten LSD-fed larvae were starved 2 h and incubated for 4 h in Schneider’s medium ± 5 mM DTT (Merck #10197777001). Larvae were then washed and frozen in liquid nitrogen. Three groups of ten LSD- or HSD-fed larvae were washed with PBS and frozen simultaneously. RNA extraction and qRT-PCR were performed as described above. Independent experiments were performed using three biological replicates tested in triplicates. For tunicamycin treatment, fat tissues from lpp > xbp1-GFP larvae were incubated 1 h either with 10 ug/ml tunicamycin (1:1000 dilution of 10 mg/ml stock solution, Sigma Aldrich #T7765) or with 1:1000 DMSO in Schneider’s medium at room temperature. Tissues were then washed with PBS and fixed in 37% methanol-free formaldehyde (Thermo Fisher Scientific, #28906). Anti-GFP immunostaining was performed as described above.

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.
