Total protein from proximal and distal IPA samples (n=8/each) was extracted using RIPA buffer (150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, and 50 mM Tris at a pH of 7.65). Protein concentration was determined through bicinchoninic acid protein assay and 20 μg of protein was loaded in 4–12% Bis-Tris SDS-polyacrylamide gel (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA). Protein electrophoresis at 160 V for 60 minutes was conducted and proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were incubated with rabbit polyclonal primary antibodies against either P2X1 (1:1,000) or P2Y1 (1:200) receptors (Alomone Labs, Jerusalem, Israel) and conjugated with goat anti-rabbit polyclonal horseradish peroxidase antibody (1:5,000; Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA). Bands were detected by chemiluminescence (Pierce ECL) and imaged with Bio-Rad ChemiDoc Touch (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA). Membranes were stripped and ß-actin (1:1,000; Thermo Fisher) expression was evaluated to normalize P2X1 and P2Y1 receptor protein expression. Densitometry of the bands were analyzed using ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The preparation of oocyte membranes and the semi-quantification of PfCRT protein was carried out using a protocol described in detail elsewhere [42 (link)]. Protein samples prepared from oocyte membranes were separated on a 4–12% Bis-Tris SDS-polyacrylamide gel (Life Technologies) and transferred to a Protran 0.45 μM nitrocellulose membrane (Amersham, GE Healthcare Life Sciences). The membranes were probed with rabbit anti-PfCRT antibody (concentration of 1:4,000; Genscript) followed by horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit antibody (1:8,000; Life Technologies, cat. no. 656120). Validation of the specificity of the anti-PfCRT antibody has been published in detail elsewhere [42 (link)]. The PfCRT band for each variant was detected by chemiluminescence (Pierce), quantified using the Image J software [75 (link)], and expressed as a percentage of the intensity measured for the PfCRTK1 band. Total protein staining was used to evaluate sample loading and efficiency of transfer as outlined previously [42 (link)]. Between five and seven independent experiments were performed (on oocytes from different frogs), and in each experiment measurements were averaged from two independent replicates.

Assessing Protein-DNA Adduct Formation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Reactions were incubated in 25 mM NaPO4 pH 7.4, 0.1 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), 125 mM KCl and 1 mM dithiothreitol at 37°C and terminated by the addition of 200 mM NaBH4 and an additional incubation on ice for 1 h. The products were analyzed by denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and phosphorimaging (GE Biosciences). For velocity determination, aliquots were taken at three different times from triplicate reactions, with the duration of sampling increased for mutant proteins with very low activity to ensure the fraction of substrate that was converted to product was in a range that was accurately quantifiable (greater than 1%).
The covalent protein-DNA adducts were generated by assembly of reactions as above without Ku, and initiated by sequential addition of Ku and 5 mM NaBH4. Products were separated on a 4–12% Bis-Tris SDS polyacrylamide gel (Invitrogen) and analyzed by phosphorimaging (GE Biosciences).
EMSA analysis was performed by incubating 1 nM substrate with 1nM Ku for 15 min at 37°C, followed by electrophoresis on a 4% native polyacrylamide gel containing 1/3× TRIS/borate/EDTA buffer and analyzed by phosphorimaging (GE Biosciences).

Western blot analysis was performed as previously described by us (21 (link)). Platelet samples (−80°C) were thawed and tubes dissolved in 100 μL ice-cold PBS containing a protease inhibitor cocktail (P-8340; Sigma). Samples were then sonicated using an ultrasonic device, centrifuged at 14,000 × g for 10 min at 4°C; the extracts were denatured (10 min, 70°C), and 18 μg was loaded onto 10% bistris SDS-polyacrylamide gels (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Vienna, Austria), separated for 35 min at 200 V and finally electrotransferred to nylon-PVDF Immobilon-PSQ membranes for 20 min at 30 V in 20% methanol blotting buffer. Next, blots were blocked for 30 min in blocking buffer; incubated with primary antibody against APP (Abcam ab32136, 1:2,000, Cambridge, UK), or CD41 (Abcam ab63323, 1:2,000), or actin (1:1,000, A2066; Sigma, Vienna, Austria) at 4°C overnight; washed; and then incubated in alkaline phosphatase–conjugated anti–rabbit IgG for 30 min. After washing, bound antibodies were detected using an enhanced chemiluminescence system and visualized by using a cooled CCD camera (SearchLight; Thermo Fisher Scientific).

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.
