Each uterine sample was prepared from a single uterine horn of one mouse. The uterine horn was cut into small pieces and lysed in a radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer: 10 mM Tris (pH 7.2; HanLAB), 150 mM NaCl (Fisher Scientific), 0.1% Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich), 5 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA; HanLAB), 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc.), 1 mM dithiothreitol (Sigma-Aldrich), 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF; MP Biomedicals), and 1X protease inhibitor (Roche). We used a Kinematica Polytron homogenizer (Kinematica AG), and centrifuged the samples at 15,928 × g for 20 minutes at 4 °C. Protein concentrations were determined by bicinchoninic acid protein assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Lysates (10 μg) were loaded onto 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels and then transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes (Bio-Rad). After Western blotting, the chemiluminescence signals were detected using a West Femto kit (SuperSignal, Thermo Fisher Scientific). The intensity of the signal was normalized against the β-tubulin signal. The data were presented as mean±standard error of the mean. The primary antibodies used were rabbit polyclonal anti-ATG9A antibody (26276-1-AP; Proteintech Genomics), rabbit polyclonal anti-ATG9B (ab117591; Abcam), and rabbit polyclonal anti-β-tubulin antibody (ab6046; Abcam).

Forced Swim Assay for Drosophila Behavioral Phenotyping

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lab-Tek II 4 well Chamber slides (Cat. No. 154526) were used for the Forced Swim Test chambers. Each well was filled with 2mL 0.08% SDS (Bio-Rad, Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate, Cat. No. 161–0301), and a single fly was gently aspirated into the chamber until it settled into an individual well. Each fly was videotaped for 5 min (Canon Vixia HF M52 Camcorder), and each video was analyzed for the latency until first immobility, and for the duration and number of immobility bouts for each min of the 5 min assay period. 30 animals were assayed for each population and control or stress condition. To establish that general locomotor activity for each fly was not compromised by the treatment or assay, each animal was removed with the flat end of a spatula at the end of the test and gently flicked onto a napkin, and assessed for the ability to immediately walk off. Almost every animal assayed was capable of normal walking behavior after the assay. The few animals that were not were excluded from the final analyses. A sample video is included in the Supplementary Materials.

For the stage-specific pull-down analysis parasites were harvested at ring stage (approx. 12HPI), trophozoites (approx. 24HPI) and schizonts (approx. 36HPI) Parasites were liberated, and red blood cells lysed using 10 volumes of 0.1% (w/v) saponin (Sigma) in ice-cold 1 x PBS (1st Base) for 5 minutes. Parasite pellet was washed three times with 1 x PBS and the pellet was lysed (for most of assays except Pull-downs) with RIPA buffer (150 mM sodium chloride (Merck); 1% Triton X-100 (BioRad); 0.5% sodium deoxycholate (Sigma); 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (BioRad); and 50mM Tris (BioRad) pH8.0) supplemented with 1% (v/v) protease inhibitor cocktail (Nacalai Tesque) and 1% (v/v) phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Thermo Fisher).

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.
