Acetylated tubulin

Manufactured by Santa Cruz Biotechnology
Sourced in Germany

Acetylated tubulin is a component of the cytoskeleton found in eukaryotic cells. It is a post-translationally modified form of the protein tubulin, where the lysine residue at position 40 is acetylated. Acetylated tubulin plays a role in the stabilization of microtubules, which are critical structures involved in cellular processes such as intracellular transport and cell division.

Western blotting reagents were purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific unless otherwise stated. Cells were lysed in M-Per mammalian protein extraction reagent (cat#78501) supplemented with Halt® protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail, following manufacturer’s instructions. Quantification of total protein was achieved by using a bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay. For each sample, 20–40μg of protein were separated by electrophoresis using 12% Tris-Glycine gels. Protein transfers were performed using the iBlot2 system (20V for 1 minute, 23V for 3 minutes, and 25V for 2 minutes setting). PVDF membranes were blocked in 4% milk- Tris Buffered Saline with Tween 20 (TBST) buffer for 1 h, incubated in primary antibody overnight followed by the HRP secondary for 1 h.
The sources of primary antibodies used were: GATA-1 (Abcam; cat#89505, mouse monoclonal), acetylated tubulin (Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX; cat#sc-23950, mouse monoclonal), alpha tubulin (Abcam; cat#4074, rabbit polyclonal), histone H3 (ProSci, Poway, CA; cat#31007), and acetylated histone H3 (Thermo Fisher Scientific; Lys6, cat#MA5–11195 and Lys36, cat#MA-24672). Secondary HRP labeled, anti-mouse (cat#6728) and anti-rabbit (cat#6721) antibodies were purchase from Abcam. Membranes were incubated for 1 min in ECL reagent and captured using ChemiDoc MP (BioRad, Hercules, CA).

For whole mount immunofluorescence, embryos were fixed in 10% 10XMEMFA (0.1 mM MOPS pH 7.4, 2 mM EGTA, 1 mM MgSO4, 3.7% formaldehyde), 10% formaldehyde and 80% water for 2 hours at room temperature and the vitelline envelope was removed manually. Embryos were permeabilized overnight in 1XPBS, 0.5% Triton, 1% DMSO (Perm solution) and blocked for 2 hours in 10% Normal Goat serum in Perm solution. Embryos were then incubated with primary antibodies. The primary antibodies used were: 40LoVe (CvH7, C579 kindly provided by Dr. Iain W. Mattaj, EMBL, Heidelberg, Germany), GFP (Invitrogen), DYKDDDDK Epitope Tag Antibody (Novus), Acetylated Tubulin (Santa Cruz) and Histone H3 [pSer10] Antibody (Novus). The incubation was performed overnight at 4°C. Embryos were then washed four times in Perm solution for 20 min, incubated for 2 hours RT with secondary antibodies. The secondary antibodies used were: Cy3 (Jackson Immunoresearch) and Alexa-488 (Invitrogen). Then the embryos washed four times in Perm solution for 20 min. Clearing of embryos was performed by immersing the embryos in 2∶1 BB: BA.

RPE-1 cells were seeded onto 12 mm coverslips (Life Technologies) and Jurkat cells were adhered on polysine slides for 15 min (VWR, 631-0107). For ciliogenesis and centriolar satellite staining, the cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 12 min at room temperature, incubated with ice-cold methanol for 2 min, and quenched for 10 min with PBS/100 mM glycine. Fixed cells were incubated for 60 minutes with primary antibodies and 60 minutes with secondary antibodies in PBS 1X-0.2% BSA-0.05% Saponin. Coverslips were sealed with Prolong gold anti-fade mounting solution (Life Technologies), and nuclei were counterstained with 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). The following primary antibodies were used: PCM1 (Cell signaling, 5213), γTubulin (Sigma, GTU88), and acetylated Tubulin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 6-11 B-1). To stain autophagy markers, cells were fixed in PBS-paraformaldehyde 4% and permeabilized with PBS 4%BSA 0.3% Triton X-100. The following primary antibodies were used: SQSTM1/p62 (Cell signaling, 88588) and GABARAPL1 (Proteintech, 11010-1-AP). Images were acquired on a Nikon A1 Rsi, using a 60× oil-immersion lens (Nikon Excellence Center, MicroPicell, SFR Francois Bonamy, Nantes, France). Images were processed using FIJI software.

Cell culture lysates were separated with electrophoresis on a 10% Bis-Tris polyacrylamide gel (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), and the proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. The membranes were probed with polyclonal antibodies for Acetylated tubulin (AcTub) and histones (AcHH3 and 4) as previously described [33 (link)]. Tubulin and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GADPH) were provided as controls. Acetylated tubulin, tubulin, acetylated-HH4, acetylated HH3, and GAPDH were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA). The density of the bands was analyzed and normalized against GAPDH control using the Alpha Innotech Fluorchem 9900 imaging system while running Alpha Ease FC software 3.3 (Alpha Innotech, San Leandro, CA).

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.
