Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Liquid cultures of each strain were grown to exponential phase in synthetic glucose medium or synthetic galactose medium without leucine, on order to maintain the Cas9 plasmid. Proteins were extracted on 2 x 108 cells in 200 μl Laemmli solution with 100 μl glass beads. Proteins were separated on a 10% acrylamide gel in standard conditions and blotted to a nitrocellulose membrane (Optitran BA-S 83 reinforced NC, Schleicher & Schuell). For Cas9 detection, a monoclonal HRP-conjugated mouse antibody was used (Abcam [7A9-3A3], ab202580, 1/1000 dilution). Note that blocking was achieved in 10 mM Tris-HCl pH8.0, NaCl 150 mM, 0.05% Tween 20, 3% dry milk (instead of the regular 5%). For G6PDH detection, the primary antibody was a polyclonal rabbit antibody (Sigma-Aldrich (A9521), 1/100 000 dilution). A secondary goat anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase was used for detection of G6PDH (Thermo Scientific, 0.16 μg/ml final concentration). Quantification was performed using a ChemiDoc MP Imager (Bio-Rad) with the dedicated Image Lab software. The molecular weight marker used was the Precision Plus Protein Kaleidoscope marker (Bio-Rad).

Yeast Protein Extraction and Western Blot

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein extraction from 1-2x108 yeast cells was done by suspending the cell pellet in 200 μL of NaOH 0.2M. After 5 minutes, samples were centrifuged and then mixed with 100 μL 2X SDS-PAGE loading buffer. They were incubated at 95°C for 5 minutes to completely extract proteins from cells. For the Western blot analysis [46 (link)], similar protein amounts were injected into SDS-PAGE acrylamide gels under reducing and denaturing conditions. Rabbit polyclonal antibodies against A190 and A135 RNA pol I subunits were assayed (diluted 1:5000) in this study, which were provided from O. Calvo and C. Fernández-Tornero. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) was used as an internal control by re-incubating the same blots with a specific antibody (A9521 from Sigma Aldrich). Bound antibodies were detected using appropriate horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:10000, Promega), followed by chemiluminescence detection with an ECL Prime Western blotting detection kit (GE Healthcare). At least three replicates of each sample were analyzed by using the ImageQuant LAS 4000 software (GE Healthcare).

Total cell lysates were prepared by TCA protein extraction method. Cells were resuspended in TCA buffer (1.85 M NaOH and 7.4% β-mercaptoethanol) for 10 min and then mixed with equal volume of 20% trichloroacetic acid to precipitate lysates. Cell lysates were dissolved in 0.1% NaOH and resolved using SDS-PAGE, then transferred onto PVDF membranes (Immobilon®-P, Millipore); membranes were then incubated with the indicated antibodies. The following antibodies were used in this study (dilutions used, source and catalog numbers): α-H2A S129-P (1:2000, Abcam, ab15083), α-H3K4me3 (1:10,000, Abcam, ab8580), α-H3K4me2 (1:5000 Abcam, ab7766), α-H3K4me1 (1:2000, Abcam, ab8895), α-HA (1:5000, Roche, 11867423001) and α-G6PDH (1:20,000, Sigma, A9521). Signals were detected using the ECL detection reagent (Millipore Immobilon™) with UVP BioSpectrum® imaging system. Uncropped blots can be found in Source data.

Briefly, cells either untreated or treated with α factor for different durations (2, 5, 15, 30, 60 and 90 min) were harvested in TCA (5% final concentration), washed with 10 mM NaN3, collected by centrifugation and the resulting pellets frozen at -80°C. For MAPK inactivation measurements, cells were treated with 3 μM α factor for 30 min, harvested by centrifugation, washed once, resuspended in pheromone-free medium and harvested at the times indicated. Cell extracts were prepared by glass bead lysis in TCA as described before (Hao et al., 2007 (link)). Protein concentration was determined by Dc protein assay (Bio-Rad). Proteins were resolved by 10% SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose and detected by immunoblotting with p44/42 MAPK antibodies at 1:500 (9101L, Cell Signalling Technology), Fus3 antibodies at 1:500 (sc-6773, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, inc.) and anti-G6PDH at 1:50,000 (A9521, Sigma-Aldrich). Immunoreactive species were detected by chemiluminescence detection (Thermo Scientific Pierce ECL Plus) of horseradish peroxidase-conjugated antibodies (anti-rabbit, 170-5046 or anti-goat,sc-2768, Santa Cruz) at 1:10,000. Blots were scanned using Typhoon Trio+ (GE healthcare) and band intensity was quantified using Fiji (National Institute of Health).

Proteins were isolated from the yeast cells by TCA (tri-chloroacetic acid) extraction, as described in [40 (link),51 (link)]. Briefly, about 4 × 108 cells in the exponentially growing phase were collected and resuspended in 200 μL of a 20% TCA solution. These cells in the TCA solution were lysed using the glass bead method. Proteins were then precipitated and resuspended in 200 μL of a Laemmli buffer and were neutralized with the addition of 100 μL of 1 M Tris, pH 8.8. The protein sample was boiled for 3 min, and 10 μg of the proteins was fractionated using SDS-PAGE in 4–12% gradient gels followed by Western blotting. The blot was probed in an Odyssey blocking buffer with the goat polyclonal anti-Rad53 (yC-19: sc6749, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA); the rabbit polyclonal anti-H2A phospho S129 antibody (ab15083, Abcam, Cambridge, UK); the rabbit polyclonal anti-HA (H6908, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA); or the rabbit polyclonal anti-G6PD (A9521, Sigma-Aldrich), followed by the secondary antibody LI-COR IRDye 800CW of the goat polyclonal anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) 926-32211 or the LI-COR IRDye 800CW donkey anti-goat IgG (H+L) 926-32214.

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.
