Samples (cells or spinal cord tissue segments at L1–L6) were collected and washed with ice-cold PBS before being lysed in lysis buffer. Then sample lysates were separated by SDS-PAGE and electrophoretically transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Millipore). The membranes were blocked with 10% whole milk in TBST (Tris-HCl, NaCl, and Tween 20) or 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in TBST for 2 h at room temperature, and then probed with primary antibodies at 4°C overnight. After that, bands were detected with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-coupled secondary antibodies. Data were acquired with the Molecular Imager (ChemiDoc, Bio-Rad) and analyzed with ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, USA).

TriTrack DNA Loading Dye (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA) was added to the DNA origami samples, then subjected to a thermal shock by heating the solution for 3 min at 95°C, followed by cooling on ice. The GeneRuler 1 kb plus DNA ladder (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA) was added to one gel lane. Approximately 200 ng of the DNA was electrophoresed in a 1% agarose gel in TAE buffer (pH 8) at 60 V for ∼3 h. Gels were stained with 0.5 μg/mL ethidium bromide solution for 15 min and rinsed in ddH2O for 15 min. Gel images were generated using the Molecular Imager Chemi Doc (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Images were analysed using ImageJ V2.0. The intensity value of each peak was determined by measuring the distance from the peak apex to the peak base.

Western Blotting Protocol for Protein Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The total cell lysate was obtained by lysing cells in RIPA buffer. To prepare samples for western blot analysis, 30 μg of protein were taken from cell lysates or cytoplasmic fraction solutions and mixed with Laemmli buffer. Afterward, the volumes in all samples were adjusted. To prepare samples with nuclear proteins, Laemmli buffer was added to nuclear pellets obtained by different fractionation methods. Samples (cellular, cytoplasmic, or nuclear) were then heated at 95 °C for 5 min. Afterward, the samples were separated by PAGE (4% stacking gel, 12% resolving gel) and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) using Mini Trans-Blot cells (Bio-Rad). The membranes were blocked for 40 min in milk (5% solution in TBS) and stained sequentially with primary and secondary antibodies. To obtain the signal, the membranes were treated with ECL Western Blotting Substrate (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) or SuperSignal West Dura Extended Duration Substrate (Thermo Scientific) on a Molecular Imager ChemiDoc (Bio-Rad). If staining with additional antibodies was required, the membranes were incubated in a Restore Western Blot Stripping Buffer (Thermo Scientific) for up to 15 min, washed with TBS solution, blocked with milk, and the staining was repeated.

Protein samples were separated on SDS-polyacrylamide mini-gels and blotted onto PVDF membranes (Millipore). As primary antibodies, rabbit polyclonal anti-Stx7 (Bethyl Laboratories), mouse monoclonal anti-Syb2 (Cl69.1), and mouse monoclonal anti-Tuj1 (Covance) were used. Blots were further incubated with secondary antibodies (anti-mouse IgG or anti-rabbit IgG, respectively) coupled to horseradish-peroxidase and developed using a Western Lightning Plus-ECL kit (PerkinElmer). Signals were detected using a Molecular Imager ChemiDoc (BioRad).
To estimate the copy number of Stx7 per SV, the CPG-purified SV fraction (a gift from Reinhard Jahn) with known protein concentration and vesicle number, was subjected to western blotting together with various amounts of standard proteins for Stx7 and Syb2. Band intensities in acquired images were quantified using Quantity One software (BioRad).

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.
