Cells were harvested and prepared using RIPA buffer (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA) supplemented with 1% protease inhibitor cocktail and 1% phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (Gold Biotechnology, USA) at 4°C and were collected by centrifugation. Protein concentrations were determined by the Bradford assay (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Equal amounts of protein (10-40 µg) were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). The membranes were washed and incubated at 4°C overnight with the following specific primary antibodies: rabbit polyclonal antibody against human TIPE (1:300; Boster, Wuhan, China), rabbit monoclonal antibody against VEGFR2 (1:1000; Abways, USA), rabbit monoclonal antibody against RAS (1:5000, Abcam, Kendall Square, Suite Cambridge, USA), PDK1, p-PDK1 (1:2000; Millipore, CA, USA), and β-actin (1:1000; ZSGB-Bio, Beijing, China). The next day, the membranes were washed and incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG and goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:2000; ZSGB-Bio, Beijing, China) antibodies for 1 hour at room temperature. Then, immune-reactive bands were visualized using a BIO-RAD ChemiDoc XRS+ Detection System (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) or the traditional darkroom method and quantified by densitometric analysis using a Versadoc imaging system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA).

HEK293T cells from a near confluent 10 cm dish were harvested, pelleted by centrifugation, and resuspended in 500 μl lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1% IGEPAL CA-630) supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail (Goldbio, GB-331). Following incubation on ice for 15 minutes, extracts were cleared by centrifugation. Phosphatase reactions (100 μl total volume) containing cleared lysates supplemented with MnCl2 (1 mM final concentration), 100 units lambda phosphatase (NEB, P0753S), and/or phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (2x final concentration) (Sigma, 4906837001) were prepared on ice and subsequently incubated at 30 °C for 1 hour. Reactions were then boiled with LDS sample buffer (Thermo Fisher, NP0008) supplemented with beta-mercaptoethanol, resolved by SDS-PAGE using a 6% acrylamide gel supplemented with 75 μM PhosBind reagent (APExBIO, F4002) and 150 μM MnCl2, and transferred to nitrocellulose membrane for immunoblotting.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293 cells were grown in media containing DMEM, 10% (v/v) FBS, 1× glutamax, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 mg/mL streptomycin, at 37 °C, 5% CO2. Once cells reached 80–90% confluency, they were washed with cold PBS, and treated with either DMSO, 10 µM MG132, 30 µM PR619, or combination of 10 µM MG132 and 30 µM PR619 for 4 h. Cells were then harvested by first removing the growth media, then scrapping cells in the presence of cold PBS (2 mL). Cells were pelleted at 1000g, 4 °C for 5 min and the supernatant decanted. Cell pellets were resuspended in cold PBS (10 mL) and pelleted again at 1000g, 4 °C for 10 min. To every 10× 150 mm plates of HEK cells, was added 5 mL of cold lysis buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, 0.05% IGEPAL CA-630, 10 mM 2-chloroacetamide, 10 mM N-ethylmaleamide, and 1× protease inhibitor cocktail (Gold Biotechnology)). In addition, lysis buffer was supplemented with 10 µM MG132, 30 µM PR619, or both. Cells were incubated in lysis buffer on ice for 30 min prior to sonication. The resulting lysates were clarified at 16000g, 4 °C for 30 min.

Wild-type PDF, MAP, MAP-H79A, SRP and TF were expressed and purified as described [23 (link),74 (link),75 (link)].
To construct the expression plasmid for PDF-E133A, an 11-residue ybbR tag was fused to the protein coding sequence, and subcloned into pET28a vector containing a cleavable N-terminal His6-SUMO tag [34 (link)]. To express PDF-E133A, BL21 star (DE3) cells were induced at OD = 0.6 with 0.5 mM IPTG at 30 °C for 3 h, and lysed by sonication in buffer A (20 mM Hepes-KOH, 300 mM NaCl, 0.2 mM CoCl2, 10% glycerol, 1 mM TCEP, pH 7.5) containing protease inhibitor cocktail (GoldBio). Clarified lysates were purified with Ni-NTA resin, and the His6-SUMO tag was removed by overnight dialysis in the presence of His6-Ulp1 protease against buffer B (20 mM Hepes-KOH, 20 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, pH 7.5). Tag-less proteins were further purified over a Ni-NTA column, supplemented with 100 mM NaCl, 0.2 mM CoCl2, 1 mM TCEP, and 50% glycerol, and stored in –30 °C.

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.
