For GST-pulldown assays using HEK293T cell lysates, cells were transfected with the GFP construct-containing DNA using calcium phosphate (Takara Bio) transfection. After 24 h, cells were harvested, washed with PBS, and lysed in immunoprecipitation lysis buffer solution (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5; 150 mM NaCl; 2 mM EDTA; 1% Triton X ‐100; and protease and phosphatase inhibitors), and the supernatants were isolated after centrifugation. Cell lysates were incubated with purified GST-mATG8 protein and glutathione-agarose beads overnight at 4 °C. The next day, they were washed 3–5 times with immunoprecipitation lysis buffer solution at 4 °C. Proteins were separated by SDS–PAGE and analyzed by Western blot and Coomassie blue staining.

HEK293T cells and established MEF cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) and supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS) and penicillin/streptomycin in a humidified atmosphere with 5% (v/v) CO2 at 37°C. Cells were seeded in a 6-well cell culture plate (Catalog #: 30006; SPL, Gyeonggi, Korea) or a sticky-slide eight-well system (Catalog #: 80828; Ibidi, Martinsried, Germany) to obtain 40%-60% confluent cells on the day of imaging. Cells were transfected with the indicated DNA constructs using calcium phosphate (Catalog #: 631312; Takara Bio inc., Shiga, Japan) or Lipofectamine 2000 (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) 24-26 h before analysis. The relative amount of each construct was empirically calculated according to the relative expression of each construct combination.

Wild-type C57BL/6 mice were purchased from Samtako Bio Korea (Gyeonggi-do, Korea). Primary bone marrow–derived macrophages (BMDMs) were isolated from six-week-old C57BL/6 mice and cultured in DMEM for 3–5 days in the presence of M-CSF (R&D Systems, 416-ML), as described previously [32 (link)]. HEK293T (ATCC-11268; American Type Culture Collection) or THP-1 (ATCC-TIB-202) cells were maintained in DMEM or RPMI1640 (Gibco, NY, USA) containing 10% FBS (Gibco, NY, USA), sodium pyruvate, nonessential amino acids, penicillin G (100 IU/mL), and streptomycin (100 μg/mL). Transient transfections were performed using calcium phosphate (Clontech, Mountain View, CA, USA) in 293T, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
