Western blot analysis was performed as described previously[9 (link)]. Briefly, cultured cells were homogenized in a lysis buffer containing a protease inhibitor cocktail. After SDS-PAGE, the proteins on the gel were transferred to a polyvinylidene membrane. Then, the membrane was stained with the desired antibodies. The membrane was visualized with ImmobilonWestern (Millipore, Hayward, CA), and the image was captured with ChemDoc XRS (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Primary antibodies used for Western blotting: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) rabbit polyclonal antibody (PM036; MBL, Nagoya, Japan), p62 mouse monoclonal antibody (ab56416; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), PARP1 rabbit polyclonal antibody (9542S; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA), phospho-NF-kB p65 rabbit monoclonal antibody (Ser536) (3033S; Cell Signaling Technology), NF-kB p65 rabbit polyclonal antibody (sc-372; Santa Cruz Biotech, Dallas, TX), phosphor-extracellular signal–regulated kinase (ERK) rabbit polyclonal antibody (9101S; Cell Signaling Technology), ERK rabbit monoclonal antibody (4695S; Cell Signaling Technology), tubulin rabbit monoclonal antibody (ab176560; Abcam).

For ABP labelling of caspase-3 in cell lysates, 75 μg of lysates
were incubated with the ABP (f.c. 1 and 10 μM, 37°C, 500 rpm, 1

semi-dry transfer (PowerPac 1000, Biorad) and blocked with 5 % bovine serum
albumin in TBS-T (50 mM TRIS, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1 % tween-20, pH 7.4–7.6)
for 2 hr, at RT, shaking. For western blot analysis of ABP labelling of
caspase-3, membranes were incubated with streptavidin-HRP (1:2,000; 30–45

Feasibility Assessment of CHA Technique

To assess the feasibility of CHA, we used fluorescence measurement and agarose gel electrophoresis. The bio-barcode SH-DNA was centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 30-60 s, dissolved in sterile water to 50 μM, and then diluted to 10-105 different multiples of bio-barcode SH-DNA by adding 5 μM H1 5 μL and 5 μM H2 15 μL and reacted at 37°C for 90 min. The fluorescence readings were detected at 489/521 nm excitation/emission wavelengths.
In agarose gel electrophoresis analysis, 3% agarose gel solution was prepared and stained with a diluted top red solution. After solidification, 9 μL of the sample was mixed with 1 μL 10×DNA loading buffer into each channel separately, at 110 mV in 1×TAE buffer (40 mM Tris-acetate, 1 mM EDTA, pH 8.0) for 40 min. Bio-Rad ChemDoc XRS imaged the gel.

WT Atg3 (expressed or semi-synthetic) or semi-synthetic Atg3 K19ac-K48ac (10 μM) was incubated with liposomes containing 20 or 55% DOPE (1 mM lipids) in Tris-HCl buffer at 30 °C for 90 min in a total volume of 300 μl. The mixtures were adjusted to 40% (w/v) Nycodenz by adding with 300 μl 80% (w/v) Nycodenz in Tris-HCl buffer. The resulting mixture was overlaid with 1300 μl Tris-HCl buffer containing 30% (w/v) Nycodenz and 100 μl Tris-HCl buffer without Nycodenz. The samples were centrifuged at 200,000g in a TCL-55 rotor (Beckman) for 4 h. The liposomes and lipid-anchored proteins were collected from the top 100 μl of the mixtures and analysed by SDS–PAGE. Protein bands were detected by Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining and band intensities on SDS–PAGE were quantified by using Image software on ChemDocXRS+ (Bio-Rad). Student's t-test was used to calculate P values and evaluate the significance of difference between recovered Atg3 WT and Atg3 K19ac-K48ac.

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.
