Skeletal muscle and heart were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80 °C until use. Skeletal muscle and heart were thawed and homogenized in RIPA buffer (150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, and 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0) supplemented with a protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail by using a bead homogenizer (Precellys 24 homogenizer, Bertin Instruments, Paris, France). Protein concentrations were determined using a BCA assay. Homogenates (60 µg) were separated by SDS-PAGE using the Bio-Rad Stain Free gel system to enable total protein visualization and quantitation. Proteins on PAGE gels were transferred to PVDF membranes (Immobilon-FL, EMD Millipore), blocked in EveryBlot blocking buffer (Bio-Rad), and incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. After washing in PBS containing 0.2% Tween-20 (PBST), membranes were incubated with fluorophore-tagged Starbright secondary antibodies (Bio-Rad) for 1 h at room temperature. After washing in PBST, blots were imaged on a Chemidoc MP system (Bio-Rad). Total protein using stain-free gels (Bio-Rad), after transfer of the proteins to the PVDF membrane (Immobilon®-FL, Millipore), the PVDF membrane was imaged by using a ChemiDocTM MP imaging system (Bio-Rad). All antibodies used are provided in Supplementary Table 3.

For western blotting, samples were prepared in a 4× Laemmli buffer and run on either 8% or 12% Tris-tricine gels for electrophoresis depending upon the molecular weight range being detected using this method. Following this, gels were electro-blotted on the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane (Immobilon-FL; Merck-Millipore). Blocking of membranes was carried out by incubation with the Odyssey Blocking Buffer (LI-COR Biosciences) for 20–30 min, followed by both primary and secondary antibody incubations for 1 h each at room temperature, each of which was followed by three washes of 5 min each.
Detection of Cas9 and β-actin was carried out using mouse anti-Cas9 antibody (Clontech) and rabbit anti-beta actin antibody (LI-COR Biosciences), respectively. Secondary antibodies used were either IR dye 680 goat anti-mouse or IR dye 800 goat anti-rabbit (LI-COR Biosciences).
For immunoblotting of proteins incorporated into virus-like particles, the particle-containing supernatant was concentrated on a sucrose cushion by ultracentrifugation at 100,000 × g for 2 h at 4°C. The pellet obtained was resuspended in the 2× Laemmli buffer containing 2X-PIC (protease inhibitor cocktail) and 50 mM TCEP (Tris[2-carboxyethyl]phosphine hydrochloride).

Western blot analysis was performed using standard procedures. For Western blots visualizing mSWI/SNF complex subunits, samples were separated using a 4-12% Bis-Tris PAGE gel (NuPAGE 4-12% Bis-Tris Protein Gel, Invitrogen), and transferred onto a PVDF membrane (Immobilon-FL, EMD 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.
