Liposomes (40 μL) were incubated with (1) BAXM (0.5 μM) treated with tBID (20 nM), BIM SAHBA2 (0.5 μM) or vehicle, or (2) BAXO, BAXOΔC, BAXO I133A, BAXO R134E, or BAXO R134E/R145E in liposomal release assay buffer for the indicated time points at room temperature. BAX-containing solutions were then added to a Sepharose CL-2B (GE Healthcare) size exclusion column equilibrated with liposomal release assay buffer and 17 equivalent fractions (250 μL) were collected. Liposome-containing fractions were identified by adding 10% Triton X-100 to the fractions and measuring florescence associated with ANTS/DPX release. To determine which fractions contained BAX, gel electrophoresis and western blot analysis was conducted using the anti-BAX N20 antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology Cat# sc-493; RRID: AB_2227995).

Inc CA, USA) and active/cleaved caspase-3 (NB100-56113, Novus Biologicals, UK). After incubation, the cells were washed and treated with appropriate secondary antibody, goat anti-rabbit IgG FITC (Ab6717-1, Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom).

RIPA buffer along with the phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (Beyotime, Nanjing, China) inhibitor was used to extract proteins from kidney tissues and NRK-52E cells. The protein concentration was determined using a BCA protein assay kit (Beyotime, Nanjing, China). 10% SDS-PAGE gels were used and protein samples with a concentration of 40 µg were loaded into each well of the gel. Nitrocellulose membranes (Millipore, Billerica, USA) were used to transfer proteins. Once the transfer was complete, the membranes were incubated for blocking using 5% skim milk made in TBST buffer for 2 h. Next, they were incubated overnight with various primary antibodies at 4 °C such as Bax (1:500 dilutions; sc-493; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), Bcl-2 (1:1000; sc-7382; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and caspase-3 (1:1000; sc7148; Santa Cruz Biotechnology). Next day, they were incubated at room temperature for 1.5 h with the secondary antibody coupled with horseradish peroxidase (1:1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA, USA). The protein was detected using ECL reagents (Millipore, Billerica, USA).

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.
