Precipitated protein samples were centrifuged at maximum speed for 25 min at 4°C. Protein pellets were dried at 60°C for 10 min and resuspended in 1× SDS-PAGE Laemmli sample buffer containing 2.5% 2-ME.

Western blot images were converted from Image Lab 5.2.1 (.scn) files to 600 dpi .tif files. The images were opened in ImageJ. Images were converted to 8-bit and background was subtracted with a rolling ball radius of 50.0 pixels. Images were inverted and mean band intensity was quantified with the measurement tool.

For protein analysis, we plated A101D in 10 cm dishes at 2 million cells per dish in standard DMEM media and let the cells attach overnight. The next day, we changed the cell culture media for treatment media as described above. We incubated the cells 24 hr before harvesting the cells. We harvested the cells with trypsin and separated nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins using the EpiQuik Nuclear Extraction kit as recommended by the manufacturer (Epigentek, Farmingdale, NY). The resulting cytoplasmic and nuclear extract were quantified by BCA and ran on bis-Tris gels (ThermoFisher Scientific). Proteins were transferred onto a low fluorescence PVDF membrane (Bio-Rad). Membranes were blocked for 1 hr in 1% casein TBST. Primary antibodies were: ATF4 (#11815), the cytoplasmic control β-actin (#3700), Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA) and CHAC1 (#15207–1-AP, Proteintech, Rosemont, IL). Fluorescent secondary antibodies (12,004,159 and STAR36D800GA, Bio-Rad) were used for detection on a ChemiDoc instrument (Bio-Rad). Nuclear extract loading control was done by staining with amido black. Images were processed with the Image Lab 6.0.1 software (Bio-Rad).

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.
