Day 6 myotubes expressing Halo‐Myh3 were labeled with Oregon‐Green®︎ ligand (green fluorescence; Promega) at a final concentration of 0.3% in DM for 16 h. Following washout, myotubes were reacted with TMR ligand (red fluorescence, Promega) at a final concentration of 0.1% in minimum essential medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific) to label newly synthesized Halo‐Myh3 for 7, 15, and 30 min. Myotubes were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS (Nacalai Tesque, Kyoto, Japan), rinsed with 0.5% Triton X‐100 in PBS for 5 min three times, and mounted with media containing 4’,6‐diamidino‐2‐phenylindole (DAPI; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). Samples were analyzed using an LSM 700 Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (Carl Zeiss, Tokyo, Japan) equipped with a Plan‐Apochromat ×63 (numerical aperture 1.4) lens. The DAPI, Oregon‐Green, and TMR fluorescence were detected at excitation wavelengths of 405, 488, and 555 nm with 300–483, 493–550, and 560–800 nm band‐pass filters, respectively. Images were processed by using zen 2012 imaging software (Carl Zeiss).

For imaging of hyphae, cells were grown on coverslips in 0.3 ml AMM containing 1% (w/v) glucose, 20 mM glutamine and the desired iron concentration. Microscopy images were captured using an Axio Imager. M2 microscope (Carl Zeiss) equipped with a 63×  oil immersion objective lens (numerical aperture, 1.40), a HPX 120 V compact light source (Carl Zeiss) and the AxioCam MRm camera (Carl Zeiss). Images were processed using ZEN 2012 imaging software (Carl Zeiss). DAPI was used to stain nuclei. PpIX content, siderophore production, RNA isolation, and Northern analysis were carried out as described previously (Hortschansky et al, 2007 (link)). The hybridization probes used in this study were generated by PCR using DIG-labeled nucleotides. For qRT-PCR analysis, RNA was digested with DNase I and column eluted using RNA Clean & Concentrator™-25 kit (ZYMO Research). cDNA was synthesized using GoScript™ Reverse Transcription System (Promega) and random primers. qPCR was performed in a StepONE Plus Instrument (Applied Biosystems) with POWER SYBR® Green PCR Master Mix (Applied Biosystems). Primers for hapX, sreA, and actA are listed in Supplementary Table S4.

PBMCs were incubated with rFgRab10 protein in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37 °C for 1 h. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, washed 3 times in PBS and treated with blocking solution (4% BSA in PBS) for 1 h to minimize background staining. rFgRab10-treated, SUMO protein-treated, or PBS-treated PBMCs were incubated with rat anti-rFgRab10 protein antibody (1:100 in 4% BSA) for 1 h at 37 °C. Cells were stained with Cy3 conjugated goat anti-rat IgG secondary antibody (1:500 in 4% BSA) (Beyotime, Jiangsu, China) for 1 h at 37 °C. Hoechst 33342 (Invitrogen, Oregon, USA) was used to stain the nuclei.

Quantification of Confocal Imaging for Research

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For quantification of confocal images, the ‘Histo’ function of Zen (2012) imaging software (Carl Zeiss) was used. Region of interest was outlined for each disc and mean fluorescence signal intensity was determined. Crosses were repeated at least three times. Analysis and graph generation was done using GraphPad Prism 9. The statistical method used was one-way ANOVA with Holm-Sidak test for multiple comparisons, unless otherwise indicated. Plotted is mean intensity ±SEM. Levels of significance are depicted by asterisks in the figures: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001.

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.
