Third-instar larvae were dissected in ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Collected tissues were fixed at 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 15 min. After washing twice with PBS, fixed tissues were blocked in 5% normal goat serum/PBT (PBS + 0.3% Triton X-100) for 30 min at room temperature. Samples were incubated with primary antibodies in 5% NGS/PBT at 4 °C for overnight. Following antibodies were used: rabbit anti-CCT4 (1:2000) (this study), rabbit anti-Dlg (1:500) (Kyung-Ok Cho, KAIST), mouse anti-Dlg (1:100) (DSHB), sheep anti-GFP (1:100) (Bio-Rad, 4745-1051), rabbit anti-Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) (1:100) (Cell Signaling, 9661), rabbit anti-phospho-Drosophila Akt (Ser505) (1:100) (Cell Signaling, 4054). After washing three times with PBT, secondary antibody conjugated with FITC (1:100), Cy3 (1:600), or Cy5 (1:500) (Alexa Fluor, Molecular Probes) were incubated for 1 h at room temperature. For Phalloidin staining, Alexa Fluor 488 Phalloidin (Molecular Probes A12379) was incubated for 1 h at room temperature. After washing three times with PBT, Vectashield (Vector Laboratories) antifade reagent was used for mounting prepared samples. A Carl Zeiss LSM710 confocal microscope was used to acquire fluorescent images.

CNS lysates were prepared from ∼15 wandering L3 larvae by extracting and immediately homogenizing brains and VNCs in 2× Laemmli sample buffer (Bio-Rad Laboratories). Lysates were subsequently heated for 5 min at 95°C. Approximately 15 CNS equivalents were loaded per well onto 12% SDS-PAGE gels (Bio-Rad Laboratories). The following antibodies and concentrations were used: rabbit anti–phospho-Drosophila Akt (Ser505; Cell Signaling Technology) at 1:1,000 and goat anti-GAPDH (Imgenex) at 1:10,000. Species-specific HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies were used at 1:10,000. Immunoblots were probed with anti-GAPDH as a loading control.

Flies were dissected into phosphate-buffered saline and abdomens were homogenized in standard lysis buffer. Equal amounts of protein were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred onto PVDF membrane (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, USA), blocked in 5% BSA, and incubated with 1:1000 rabbit β-Actin (Cell Signaling # 4967); 1:1000 rabbit anti-Phospho-Drosophila Akt (Ser505) (Cell Signaling #4054) and rabbit anti-Akt (Cell Signaling #9272); 1:1000 rabbit anti-Phospho-p38 MAPK (Thr180/Tyr182) (Cell Signaling #9211) and rabbit anti-p38 MAPK (Cell Signaling #9212); 1:1000 rabbit anti-Phospho-p44/42 MAPK (Thr202/Tyr204) (Cell Signaling #4377) and rabbit anti-p44/42 MAPK (Cell Signaling #4695); and 1:1000 rabbit anti-Phospho-SAPK/JNK(Thr183/Tyr185) (Cell Signaling #4668) and rabbit anti-JNK (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. #sc-571). The primary antibodies were incubated overnight at 4°C. The secondary antibody was incubated with 1:5000 HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit or goat anti-mouse for 1 hour at room temperature and the signal developed using an ECL detection kit (Merk Millipore).

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.
