Mitochondrial pellets were solubilized with digitonin at 4:1 g protein and fractionated in blue native (BN) gels [28 (link)]. A total of 30 μg of mitochondrial proteins were fractionated in NativePAGE 3–12% Bis-Tris Protein Gels, 1.0 mm, 10-well (Invitrogen) at 4°C using cathode (50 mM Tricine, 15 mM Bis-Tris, pH 7.0 and 0.02% Serva blue G) and anode buffers (50 mM Bis-Tris, pH 7.0). Electrophoresis was carried out at a constant voltage (70 V) until the samples entered the polyacrylamide gradient (approximately 30 minutes) and then at a constant current (15 mA) until the dye reached the end of the gel (approximately 1 hour). After fractionation, the gels were electroblotted onto PVDF membranes and processed for immunoblot analysis as described above. The following primary antibodies were used: mouse anti-NADHs9 (NDUFA9, clone 15/22-5 [89 (link)], 1:1,000), mouse anti-NDUFS3 (clone 17D95, Abcam, ab14711, 1:1,000), mouse anti-NDUFS4 (clone 2C7CD4AG3, Abcam, ab87399, 1:1,000), mouse anti-SDH-A (clone 2E3GC12FB2AE2, Abcam, ab14715, 1:1,000), mouse anti-UQCRC2 (clone 13G12AF12BB11, Abcam, ab14745, 1:1,000), mouse anti-MT-CO1 (clone 1D6E1A8, Invitrogen, #459600, 1:1,000), mouse anti-MT-CO3 (clone DA5BC4, Abcam, ab110259, 1:1,000), mouse anti-COX IV (clone 20E8C12, Abcam, ab14744, 1:1,000), and rabbit anti-β-F1 [93 (link)] (1:20,000).

Mitochondrial protein complex samples for BN-PAGE were prepared from cultured primary cortical astrocytes as previously described (Nijtmans et al., 2002 (link)). Digitonin (2 mg/ml)-treated cell pellets were solubilized in 1.5 m aminocaproic acid, 50 mm Bis-Tris-HCl, pH 7.0, and 1% dodecylmaltoside. The samples were incubated on ice for 15 min and centrifuged at 20,000 × g for 20 min to remove insolubilized material. Supernatants containing the mitochondrial protein complexes were collected. BN–PAGE electrophoresis and blotting were performed as previously described (Ugalde et al., 2004 (link)).

Crista Membrane Purification for Sub-Tomogram Averaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Crista membranes used for the sub-tomogram averaging experiments were generated by successive freeze–thaw cycles of mitochondria at −80°C. To purify mitochondrial membranes from other cellular material, membrane extracts were incubated for 1 h at 4°C with an anti-NDUFS3 primary antibody (ab14711; Abcam) against the matrix arm of complex I from C. elegans, followed by a 3 h incubation with an anti-mouse secondary conjugated to a quantum dot emitting at 625 nm (Q22085; Invitrogen). Crista membranes were separated from unbound antibodies and other cellular material on an Optiprep gradient with 10 layers (200 µl volume each) ranging from 0 to 27% v/v of iodixanol in STEG/M buffer, by centrifugation at 80 000×g for 30 min at 4°C using a TLS-55 rotor (Beckman Coulter Inc., Miami, FL, U.S.A.). Crista membranes were identified and removed based on fluorescence under a UV lamp. Samples were then diluted in STEG/M buffer to wash out the iodixanol, and spun at 20 000×g for 15 min at 4°C to pellet the membranes. The enriched cristae were again re-suspended in the STEG/M buffer.

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.
