Briefly, total protein extracts were prepared from homogenized tissues or cultured cells with RIPA buffer containing protease inhibitors and a phosphatase inhibitor (cOmplete & PhosSTOP, Roche, Basel, Switzerland). Protein was quantified with an Enhanced BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).

The membranes were blocked with 5% nonfat milk for 2 h at room temperature. After blocking, the membranes were incubated at 4 °C overnight with primary antibodies against SKP2 (1:1000; ab183039, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), GLUT1 (1:1000; 66,290–1, Proteintech, Rosemont, IL, USA), or β-actin (1:5000; sc47778, Santa Cruz, AR, USA), the latter of which was used as an internal control. Protein complexes were developed and observed with a chemiluminescent detection system (Millipore, Waltham, MA, USA) and a G-Box Chemiluminescence image capture system (Syngene, Cambridge, UK).

To analyze the products formed by Endo III, the substrates were 5′-32P-labeled with phage T4 polynucleotide kinase and γ-32P-ATP; the reaction was carried out under the conditions described above. The products were precipitated by adding 10 volumes of 2% LiClO4 in acetone. The precipitates were washed three times with 100 μL of acetone, dried, dissolved in 4 μL of water and 3 μL of loading buffer (7 M urea, 0.1% bromophenol blue, and 0.1% xylene cyanol), and analyzed by denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) in a 20% gel.

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.
