T172 site phosphorylated AMPKα subunit and total AMPKα subunit were detected with p-AMPKα (CST 2535) and AMPKα (CST 2532) antibodies respectively. STRAD (Santa Cruz sc-34102) and MO25 (CST 2716 s) antibodies were used to detect Myc-LKB1-STRAD-MO25 complex.
For detection of AAK-2 or RSKS-1 phosphorylation, worms at indicated stage were lysed with 2x laemmli sample buffer equal to the volume of worm pellet. AAK-2 phosphorylation was probed with human p-AMPKα (T172) antibody (CST 2535). RSKS-1 phosphorylation was probed with human p-S6K1 (T389) antibody (CST 9205). Tubulin (abcam ab6161) was used as loading control.

Mitochondrial Protein Analysis Protocol

Mitochondria was isolated from homogenized eyes using Mitochondria Isolation Kit for Tissue (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, USA). Isolated mitochondria was loaded on 12% gel prepared using TGX ™ FastCast ™ Acrylamide Kit (Bio-Rad, Hercules, USA), and isolated proteins were transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane (Bio-Rad) using Trans-Blot Turbo Transfer system (25 V and 1A for 30 min: Turbo-Standard). The membrane was blocked with 2.5% Blotting-Grade Blocker (Non-fat dry milk, Bio-Rad) in TBST buffer (20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, and 0.1% Tween ® 20; pH 7.5) for 1 h at 26 °C followed by overnight incubation at 4 °C with two primary antibodies: anti-OxPhos (1:500 dilution; Anti-OxPhos complex kit; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, USA) and prohibitin (1:500 dilution; Santacruz, Dallas, USA). Further, the membrane was washed several times with TBST buffer and incubated with goat anti-mouse IgG (H + L) secondary antibody (1:3000 dilution) with horseradish peroxidase-conjugate (Invitrogen) for 1.5 h at 26 °C. The protein complexes were visualized using Clarity ™ Western ECL Substrate (Bio-rad) on ChemiDoc System from Bio-rad. The samples were analyzed using Image Lab 6.0. (Bio-rad).

Isolation of total and nuclear extracts was performed as described elsewhere [28] . Western blot analysis was performed using antibodies against total and phospho-Akt (Ser 473 ), adenylate cyclase, BACE1, CHOP, total and phospho-CREB (Ser 133 ), total and phospho-eIF2, GRP78/BiP, insulin receptor -subunit (IRNRF1, total and phospho-PKA (Thr 197 ), total and p-STAT3 (Tyr 705 )(Cell Signaling Technology Inc., Danvers, MA), OXPHOS (Mito Sciences, Eugene, OR), A42 (Biolegend), sAPP (Covance, Alnwick, UK), PGC-1Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom), GAPDH, IBlamin B, Oct-1, p65, PPAR, PPAR/, prohibitin (Santa Cruz), total and phospho-IRS-1 (Ser 307 ) (Millipore, Billerica, MA) and -actin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO). Detection was achieved using the Western Lightning® Plus-ECL chemiluminescence kit (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA). The equal loading of proteins was assessed by Ponceau S staining. The size of detected proteins was estimated using protein molecular-mass standards (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). For validation, we used a protein marker (Precision Plus Protein Dual Color Standards 1610374; Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA), on the same blots. All of these commercially available antibodies showed a single distinct band at the molecular weight indicated in the datasheets.

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.
