200 µg of protein from TG of 3-month old TNF-α cTg and control mice was dissolved in T-PER buffer and immunoprecipitated using 4 µg of anti-Cdk5 (C8) antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX). Briefly, immunoprecipitated proteins (IP) were washed three times in cold PBS, and twice in kinase buffer (20 mM Tris HCl (pH 7.4), 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA). Then, the IP was mixed with the kinase assay mixture (100 mM Tris HCl (pH 7.4), 50 mM MgCl2, 5 mM EDTA, and 5 mM DTT) plus 5 units of (γP32)-ATP, and 5 µg of histone H1 as a substrate. The kinase assays were carried out for 45 minutes at 30°C, and the kinase activity reaction was stopped by adding loading buffer and boiling for 10 min at 95°C. The kinase reaction was electrophoresed on a 12% polyacrylamide gel, and then the gels were exposed to X-ray films for 1 to 3 hours at −80°C. The incorporation of P32 to histone H1 was quantified by measuring band intensity using an image analysis system with ImageJ 1.46r software.

As reported earlier, 300 μg of protein from brain cortex of 17-day-old control, Cdk5 cKO2, and dKO mice, were dissolved in T-PER buffer, and they were immunoprecipitated using 4 μg of anti-Cdk5 (C8) antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Santa Cruz, CA, USA) [21 (link)]. Immunoprecipitated proteins (IP) were washed three times in cold PBS, and twice in kinase buffer (20 mM Tris HCl (pH 7.4), 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA). Then, the IP was mixed with the kinase assay mixture (100 mM Tris HCl (pH 7.4), 50 mM MgCl2, 5 mM EDTA, and 5 mM DTT) plus 5 units of (γP32)-ATP, and using 5 μg of histone H1 as a substrate. The kinase assays were carried out for 30 minutes at 30°C, and the kinase activity reaction was stopped by adding 5× sodium dodecyl sulfate sample buffer and boiling for ten minutes at 70°C. Kinase reaction was electrophoresed on a 4 to 20% polyacrylamide gel, and then gels were exposed to X-ray films, for 1 to 3 hours at -80°C. The incorporation of P32 to histone H1 was quantified to measure band intensity using Scion Image Alpha 4.0.3.2 software (Scion Corporation, Frederick, MD, USA).

CDK5 kinase assays were performed as previously described.28 (link) Briefly, homogenized brain samples were incubated overnight at 4 °C with the anti-CDK5 antibody (C8; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), and the antibody-CDK5 complex was precipitated with the Protein A-Sepharose beads for 2 h at 4 °C. Immunoprecipitates were then washed three times with the lysis buffer, and then once with the kinase buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 10 mM MgCl2, 10 mM sodium fluoride and 1 mM sodium orthovanadate. CDK5 kinase assays were performed in the same buffer containing 1 mM DTT, 0.1 mM ATP and 0.185 MBq of [γ-32P]ATP with 20 ng of histone H1 as a control substrate. The reaction was performed in a final volume of 50 μl, and was incubated for 60 min at 30 °C, stopped subsequently by addition of 10% SDS sample buffer followed by heating at 95 °C for 5 min. Twenty-five microliter aliquots of the reaction mixture were plotted on a Whatman p80 paper, washed, dried and were placed in a scintillation vial for counting.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cdk5 activity was measured as described previously [41 (link)]. Briefly, 300 μg of protein were extracted from brain cortex of control and stressed rats. Proteins were dissolved in T-PER buffer and immunoprecipitated using 4 μg of anti-Cdk5 antibody C8 (Santa Cruz, CA). Immunoprecipitated proteins (IP) were washed 3 times in cold PBS, and 2 times in kinase buffer [20 mM Tris HCl (pH 7.4), 10 mM MgCl2 and 1 mM EDTA]. IP were then mixed with the kinase assay mixture [100 mM Tris • HCl (pH 7.4), 50 mM MgCl2, 5 mM EDTA, and 5 mM DTT] plus 5 μCi (γP32)-ATP, with 5 μg of Histone H1 used as a substrate. Kinase assays were carried out at 30°C for 30 min and the kinase activity reaction was stopped by adding 5xSDS sample buffer and boiling it for 10 min at 95°C. The kinase reaction was electrophoresed on a 12% polyacrylamide gel and then gels were exposed to X-ray films for 1–3 h at −80°C. The incorporation of P32 to Histone H1 was quantified to measure band intensity using ImageJ 1.46r software (NIH, MD).

SK-N-BE and HEK-293 cells were homogenized in lysis buffer (150 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 1% Triton X-100, protease inhibitor mixture). Samples were centrifuged at 12,000 g for 15 min at 4 °C and supernatants were collected.
Western blot assay was performed under standard conditions. In brief, equal amounts of proteins were analyzed by 12% SDS-PAGE at 100 V for 90 min and blotted onto nitrocellulose membrane Hybond-enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL; Amersham Biosciences, Buckinghamshire, UK) in a Bio-Rad Trans-blot apparatus at 350 mA for 3 hours. The blots were probed with anti-p35 (C-19, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), anti-BACE1 (D10E5, Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA), anti-CDK5 antibody (C-8, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-pAPP (Thr668) (Cell Signaling, Danvers, CA, USA), anti-APP (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) and anti GAPDH (Novus biologicals, Littleton, CO, USA) antibodies followed by an alkaline phosphatase-conjugated IgG secondary antibody. Blots were processed by an ECL Plus detection kit as instructed by the supplier (Amersham Biosciences). All experiments were performed at least three times, and the quantization was made using the ImageJ program (National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD, 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.
