Solubilised muscle extracts were separated by SDS-PAGE on a 7.5% gel, using 10 μg of collagen I as a standard. Gels were stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue-R 250 (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA), and destained in 40% methanol/10% glacial acetic acid/50% ddH2O. Gels were imaged using a ChemiDoc MP System (BioRad).
For Western blots, solubilised muscle extracts (40 μg) were separated by SDS-PAGE on a 4–15% Mini-PROTEAN TGX gradient gel (Bio-Rad) and proteins transferred to Immobilon-P PVDF membrane (Millipore, Billerica, MA). The membrane was blocked in 5% skimmed milk/0.1% Tween-20/PBS overnight at 4°C and incubated in primary antibodies. Membranes were washed in 0.1% Tween-20 in PBS (PBST) and incubated in PBST containing anti-rabbit, anti-mouse or anti-rat HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (dilution, 1:2000 for anti-rabbit and 1:1000 for anti-mouse and rat). Membranes were washed, incubated in Western Lightning Plus-ECL substrate (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA) for 5 min, then imaged using ChemiDoc MP System.

Protein lysates were prepared from cell lines by mechanical homogenization in 1.5% dodecyl maltoside (DDM, Sigma) under ice-cold conditions. Protein concentration was measured using the BCA protein assay kit. About 35–50 μg of protein was loaded on 10–12% mini-protean TGX gradient gel (BioRad) at 100 V for 2 h at room temperature and transferred on to nitrocellulose membrane at 35 V overnight at 4°C. The membranes were blocked using AdvanBlock-chemi blocking solution (Advansta) for 1 h at room temperature, incubated with primary antibody overnight at 4°C followed by incubation with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. The signal was developed using SuperSignal West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate (ThermoFisher Scientific) and digitally imaged using the ChemiDoc Touch Imaging System (BioRad). The primary antibodies for CPT1A (Proteintech #15184-1-AP), PARP (Cell Signaling #9542), cleaved PARP (Cell Signaling #5625) and β-actin (Cell Signaling #4970) were purchased from the noted manufacturer.

Characterization of Biotinylated SPIONs by SDS-PAGE

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SDS-Gel electrophoresis according to the protocol of Laemmli40 (link) was performed to show the binding of streptavidin
and avidin to biotinylated SPION. All SPION samples that contained
avidin or streptavidin were purified with Amicon 100 kDa centrifugation
units three times in order to remove excess unbound streptavidin or
avidin. To prove that avidin and streptavidin selectively bind to
biotinylated SPION and not to PEGylated SPION without biotin, we incubated
PEGylated SPION with avidin/streptavidin and subjected them
to the same purification process (3 × Amicon 100 kDa) as the
biotinylated SPION. All SPION were lyophilized and completely redispersed
at ∼1.5 mg SPION/mL in Laemmli buffer. Clear dispersions were
obtained for all SPION. All samples were split in two; one sample
was denatured at 100 °C for 3 min and the other sample remained
untreated. All samples were centrifuged (no pellet was observed upon
centrifugation), and the supernatant was applied to a BioRad Mini-Protean
TGX gradient gel (4–20% acrylamide). Separation was performed
at 200 V for 45 min. Gels were stained with 0.1% Coomassie Brilliant
Blue G in 40% methanol and 10% acetic acid for 15 min at 60 °C
and destained with 10% acetic acid until the background appeared colorless.
Gels were scanned using a Licor Odyssey Infrared Reader.

Targeted Proteomics of Bacterial Lysates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bacterial lysates for targeted proteomics were prepared as described (Prigozhin et al.,2016 (link)). Lysates corresponding to 30 □g total protein were subjected to electrophoresis through a 4–20% mini PROTEAN TGX gradient gel (Bio-Rad) under denaturing conditions for approx. 2 cm into the gel. After staining with Novex Colloidal Blue staining kit (ThermoFisher Scientific), gel containing almost all of the proteins was excised, subjected to in-gel digestion with trypsin, and analyzed by LC/MS/MS as described (Shin et al., 2017 (link)). The PRM assay utilized three tryptic peptides of Mdh (residues 25–40 LASGSLLGPDRPIELR, 205–226 NAAEVVNDQAWIEDEFIPTVAK, and 236–252 GASSAASAASATIDAAR), and three tryptic peptides of SigA (238–251 VALLNAEEEVELAK, 343–352 FSTYATWWIR, and 488–500 TLDEIGQVYGVTR; all annotations as per http://tuberculist.epfl.ch). Three fragment ion intensities that generated the most robust signals were extracted from each peptide and summed to determine the peptide abundance. Quantification of targeted peptides was accomplished through the Skyline software (University of Washington). The average of peptide abundance from two technical replicates were determined and the relative level of Mdh was calculated by normalizing the total transition area of each of the 3 Mdh peptides to that of each of the 3 SigA peptides.

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.
