Standard food was prepared, and paraquat was added to a final concentration of 50 mM. Then, 0.5 mM vitamin E (α-Tocopherol, Sigma 258024) and 0.25 mM reduced glutathione (L-Glutathione, Sigma G4251) were added to paraquat-containing food, and flies were subsequently monitored for survival. Survival curves showing percent survival over time were plotted using Graphpad, and p-values are obtained using the Gehan-Breslow-Wilcoxon statistical test. Experiments were repeated two times.

Purification of GST-tagged Proteins from E. coli

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Budding yeast genes were cloned into a pGEX4T1 vector to generate an N-terminally tagged GST fusion proteins. The plasmids used in this study are listed in Supplemental Table S2. Mutations were generated by using the QuikChange XL kit (Stratagene) and sequenced. Proteins were expressed in the Escherichia coli strain Rosetta 2 (Novagen) by the addition of 0.2 mM IPTG for 20 h at 14°C. After protein expression, cells were collected and suspended in lysis buffer (50 mM Tris at pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% NP-40, 1 mM PMSF, protease inhibitors, 0.5 mg/mL lysozyme solution). The cells were incubated for 45 min at 4°C and lysed using a EpiShear Probe sonicator (Active Motif). Lysed cells were centrifuged, and the supernatant was removed and incubated with glutathione sepharose 4B (GE). Recombinant GST fusion proteins were eluted by the addition of 15 mg/mL L-glutathione (Sigma) dissolved in 100 mM Tris (pH 8.0). Recombinant proteins were run on a 4%–12% BisTris gel and analyzed with colloidal staining.

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.
