Tissue samples were homogenized in 1% SDS processing buffer and protein was quantified using the Bio-Rad protein DC assay (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Berkeley, CA, USA). Forty μg of total protein was loaded onto a 12–15% polyacylamide gradient gel (Mini-PROTEAN TGX Precast Mini Gel, Bio-Rad Laboratories) and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5% non-fat dried milk or BSA (phospho-FMRP) in TBS, incubated overnight in primary antibodies against PSD-95 (1:1,000; Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA, USA), SAPAP-3 (1:500, ProteinTech, Chicago, IL, USA), FMRP (1:500, Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), phospho-FMRP (1:1,000; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), and GAPDH (1:30,000; Millipore) diluted in TBS + 0.1% Tween 20 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). The following day, membranes were incubated for 1 hr in the appropriate secondary antibodies (1:20,000; Li-Cor Biosciences, Lincoln, NE, USA) and then imaged using the Odyssey imaging system (LiCor Biosciences).

Western Blot Analysis of Subcellular Fractions

Subcellular fractions were obtained as previously reported [26 (link), 27 (link)]. Equivalent amounts (total proteins, 50 μg; subcellular fractions, 10 μg) of the samples were separated on 10–12% SDS-PAGE gels and then transferred onto PVDF membranes. The membranes were incubated with 5% nonfat milk for 1 h at room temperature. The target proteins were blotted with primary antibodies against SAPAP3 (1:200, Proteintech), GluN1 (1:1000, Abcam), GluN2A (1:1000, Millipore), GluN2B (1:1000, Millipore), and GAPDH (1:5000, Abcam) overnight at 4 °C. On the following day, the blots were incubated with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:3000, room temperature for 1 h). An enhanced chemiluminescence detection system (Amersham ECL) and the Bio-Rad ChemiDoc XRS + system were used to detect and quantify the bands. Densitometry was performed using Quantity One Software (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, USA). The total protein samples were normalized to GAPDH expression, and the proteins in the subcellular fractions were normalized to the total protein samples.

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.
