Cell sample of 15 ml culture was pelleted by centrifugation and re-suspended in 150 μl TBST buffer (50 mM Tris–HCL, 100mM NaCl, 0.1% Tween-20, pH7.6). Sonication of the cell suspension gave total cell extracts, which were fractionated by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Protein bands on the gel were transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane using a Trans-Blot Semi-Dry Transfer Cell (Bio-Rad). For immunoblotting, the membrane was immerged in 5% skim milk blocking agent, then incubated with individual primary antibodies and finally with corresponding second antibodies. TFB3 antisera were raised against S. solfataricus TFB3 (18 (link)) (kindly provided by Prof. Malcolm F. White) whereas PCNA3 antisera against S. islandicus PCNA3 were reported previously. Secondary antibodies were purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific, and hybridization signals were detected using the ECL western blot substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and visualized by exposure of the membrane to an X-ray film (Agfa HealthCare, Belgium).

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.
