Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Prior to immunoaffinity and mass spectrometry, we confirm the presence and purity of proteins in cell lysates by loading them on one dimensional Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (1D SDS PAGE) of Mini-PROTEAN System (BIO-RAD Catalog# 165–8000) as per render instructions. Briefly in the procedure, 15 µl from each samples, containing equal amount of proteins mixed with loading buffer (Bio Rad catalog #161–0738) in ratio 1:1, were loaded on 12 % Mini-PROTEAN® TGX™ Precast Protein Gel (Bio Rad catalog #4561043) and run for 45 min at 200 V having 1X SDS-PAGE running buffer (Bio Rad catalog #161–0732). After the run, gel was washed with milliQ water and stained overnight in Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 staining solution (Bio Rad catalog #161–0436). Then gel was destained in Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 (Bio Rad catalog #161–0438) destaining solution until clear bands were appeared on the gel.

The analytical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of proteins in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS-PAGE) was performed following the method of Laemmli [42] . The protein bands were visualized with Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA) staining. After electrophoresis, the protein bands were stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA). The low molecular weight markers LMW from Amersham Biosciences were used as protein markers standards.
Zymogram analysis was monitored as reported by Kubata et al. [43] . Briefly, after proteins (50 µg) were separated by SDS-PAGE, the gel was incubated in a renaturation buffer (Buffer A) for 30 min at 70 °C with gentle shaking. The treated gel was then overlaid on a pre-cast 5 mg/ml agar gel containing 10 mg/ml birchwood xylan in buffer A. The agar plates were then incubated for 15 min at room temperature. After incubation the polyacrylamide gel was removed, and the agar gel was immersed in 30 mg/ml Congo red dye for 30 min and washed with 1.5 M NaCl solution to visualize zones of clearance corresponding to xylanase activity.

Proteins before and after fermentation of the two DDGS were extracted as described by (Hamaker et al. 1995 ). Both prolamins and nonprolamins of each sample were pooled together. The concentration of protein in the samples was determined with the BCA protein assay kit (keyGEN bioTECH, Shanghai, China). Protein samples were fractionated by an SDS-PAGE system based on 12% polyacrylamide separating gels containing 0.1% SDS in Tris–glycine buffer. Approximately 6 µg of protein sample was added to each well, followed by separation at 60 mV for 210 min. The gel was stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) R-250 (Bio-Rad, California, USA) for 60 min and de-stained with 8% acetic acid.

Soluble proteins in FRSM and unfermented RSM were extracted according to Faurobert [21 ] with minor modification. The samples were ground finely to pass a 60-mesh sieve. 1.5 mL of 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.6) including 5 μg/mL protease inhibitor, 0.1% SDS and 5 mM dithiothreitol was added to each 100 mg of the ground samples, then homogenized on ice with for 10 minutes. The homogenized samples were centrifuged at 11,000 × g for 20 minutes at 4°C (5804R, Eppendorf, Germany), then supernatants solutions were transferred to 1.5 mL Eppendorf (EP) tubes. Protein concentration in each sample was determined using Bio-Rad Protein Assay Kit (Bio-Rad, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Soluble protein was fractionated by SDS-PAGE system according the previous method [22 (link)]. The electrophoresis system was based on 12% polyacrylamide separating gels containing 0.1% SDS in Tris-glycine buffer. About 20 μg of extracted protein sample was loaded for each well and separated at 65 mV for 120 minutes. After electrophoresis, the gel was stained using Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) R-250 (Bio-Rad, USA) for 45 minutes and de-stained with 7% acetic acid.

5 μM G-actin was polymerized into F-actin in F-buffer (25 mM Imidazole, pH 7.8, 100 mM KCl, 2 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 2 mM Tris–HCl, 0.2 mM CaCl2, 0.2 mM ATP, and 0.5 mM DTT) for 1 h, at room temperature. 5 μM Tpm1.1 was added to the filaments and incubated for 30 min, at room temperature. Depolymerization of F-actin in the absence or presence of Tpm1.1 was initiated by diluting actin filaments 5-fold with F-buffer in the presence of 2 μM CFL2 and differing concentrations of CAP2 (0, 0.03, 0.06, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5 μM). After incubation at room temperature for 30 min, the filaments were pelleted at 70,000 RPM (Beckman-Coulter TLA-100 Rotor), for 30 min, at room temperature. The supernatants and pellets were separated and solubilized in 1× Laemmli sample buffer for 30 min, at room temperature.

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.
