The experiments were carried out as previously described with some modifications (Macchi et al., 2013 (link)). Fly thoraxes were dissected into halves in fixation buffer containing 4% paraformaldehyde and 1% Triton X-100 in PBS and fixed for 20 min at room temperature (RT) without shaking.

Whole flies (5 flies per sample) were homogenized in Lysis Buffer (PBS 1X, Protease Inhibitors 1X, NuPAGE LDS Sample Buffer 1X, and DTT (Dithitreitol) 0.05M). For Triton fraction, 10 flies were homogenized in Triton Buffer (Triton X-100 1%, PBS 1X and Protease Inhibitor 1X). Samples were spun at 13000 × g for 5 min. at 4°C, then supernatant (Triton fraction) was transferred to a new vial containing 4X Buffer (NuPAGE LDS Sample Buffer 4X, and DTT 0.05M). Samples from whole flies or Triton fraction were separated by SDS-PAGE gels and proteins were transferred to Nitrocellulose membranes. Samples were collected and lysates were separated by SDS-PAGE using standard procedures. Membranes were probed with antisera against: anti-α-actin peroxidase conjugated 1:15000 (A3854, Sigma), mouse-anti-VDAC1 / Porin 1:10000 (ab14734, Abcam), rabbit-anti-dP62 1:2500 (3), anti-GABARAP (ab109364, Abcam), rabbit-anti-HA (3724, Cell Signaling) and mouse-anti-ubiquitin (P4D1) 1:1000 (3936, Cell Signaling). Anti-Rabbit or anti-Mouse Horseradish peroxidase conjugated antibodies were used for detection at 1:10000 dilution. Amersham ECL Prime Western Blotting Detection Reagent (GE life sciences) was used to visualize the presence of horseradish peroxidase, and the chemiluminescent signal was recorded using Syngene Pxi Western Blot Imager. Image analysis was done using ImageJ.

To induce autophagy, Aag2 cells were treated with 0.5 µM bafilomycin A1 and 0.5 µM torin-1 for 24 h using 1% DMSO as control. Cells were lysed in passive lysis buffer, and protein concentrations were quantified using the Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Absorbances were read on a GloMax luminometer. Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred using the Trans-Blot Turbo Transfer System (Bio-Rad, Oxford, UK). Ae. aegypti ATG8 was detected using a rabbit anti-GABARAP antibody (ab109364; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), and β-actin was detected with a mouse anti-actin antibody (MABT219/JLA20; Merck), both used at 1:1000. Primary antibodies were detected using goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) (ab6721; Abcam) and goat anti-mouse IgG H&L (HRP) (ab6789; Abcam) secondary antibodies, respectively. Bands were visualized with ECL reagent (Bio-Rad) on a Bio-Rad ChemiDoc system and Image Lab software (Bio-Rad). Band intensities were analyzed and compared in ImageJ.

Triplicate biological cohorts of 3 whole flies per genotype/treatment were homogenized in boiling lysis buffer (50 mM Tris pH 6.8, 2% SDS, 10% glycerol, 100 mM dithiothreitol), sonicated for 15 seconds, boiled for 10 min, and centrifuged at 13,300 × g at room temperature for 10 min. Samples were electrophoresed on 4–20% gradient gels (Bio-Rad). Western blots were developed using the ChemiDoc system (Bio-Rad). Direct blue staining was used for total protein loading: PVDF membranes were submerged for 5 min in 0.008% Direct Blue 71 (Sigma-Aldrich) in 40% ethanol and 10% acetic acid. PVDF membranes were then rinsed briefly in 40% ethanol and 10% acetic acid solvent, then ultrapure water, air dried, and imaged using the ChemiDoc system. Anti-dAtg8a antibody (ab109364) was from obtained from Abcam. Blots were quantified using ImageLab software (Bio-Rad).

IFMs were prepared from the adult thoraxes dissected in relaxing buffer (0.1 M KCl, 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH = 7.2, 1 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA) [34 (link)]. The specimens were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min. After washing with 0.1% PBST (1× PBS, 0.1% TritonX-100) and subsequent blocking in 10% normal goat serum, the primary antibody diluted with the blocking solution was added and incubated at 4 °C overnight. The following primary antibodies were used: anti-Atg8 antibody (#ab109364, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) (dilution 1/400), anti-Ref(2)P antibody (#ab178440, Abcam) (1/500), anti-ATP5A antibody (#ab14748, Abcam) (1/400), and anti-Cleaved Drosophila Dcp-1 antibody (#9578, Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA, USA) (1/100).
After washing IFM samples with 0.1% PBST, Alexa fluorescence dye-conjugated secondary antibodies (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) were incubated with the samples for 2 h. For the visualization of F-actin, Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated phalloidin (#A12379, Invitrogen) was added simultaneously. After washing with 0.1% PBST several times, the specimens were embedded with VECTASHIELD Mounting Medium (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) and observed using a laser scanning confocal microscope (FV10i, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). Images were acquired at 512 × 512 pixel size. For image processing, FV10-ASW 4.2 Viewer (Olympus) was used.

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.
