Yeast expressing the indicated reporter substrate under the GAL1 promoter was grown in galactose-containing medium until mid-log phase. Protein synthesis was terminated by adding glucose (final concentration 2%) and cycloheximide (final concentration 0.1 mg/ml). One OD600 unit was harvested at the indicated time points and total protein extracts were prepared by lysis and precipitation in 12.5% trichloroacetic acid. Total yeast lysates were separated by SDS-PAGE (NuPAGE, Invitrogen) followed by transfer to nitrocellulose membranes (PROTRAN; Schleicher & Schuell) or PVDF membrane (Millipore). Western blot analysis was performed as described previously56 (link) using the following primary antibodies: a mixed monoclonal antibody specific to GFP (Roche) (1:2000), a polyclonal anti-GFP antibody (Ab290, Abcam) (1:5000), monoclonal antibodies against β-actin (Abcam) (1:5000) or against PGK1 (Life technologies) (1:5000).

For lithium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (LDS-PAGE), cells were resuspended in LDS buffer (Life Technologies) and disrupted by bead beating with 0.1 μm glass beads (Biospec Products, Bartlesville, USA) using a Precellys24 (Bertin Technologies, Montigny-le-Bretonneux, France), while secreted proteins in the culture medium were precipitated with 10 % trichloroacetic acid (TCA). Protein samples were incubated for 10 min at 95 °C, separated by LDS-PAGE using 10 % NuPAGE gels (Invitrogen) and stained with SimplyBlueTM SafeStain (Life Technologies). For Western blotting, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Protran®, Schleicher & Schuell, Dassel, Germany). Immunodetection was performed using anti-His-tag antibodies (Life Technologies). Bound antibodies were visualized using fluorescently labeled secondary antibodies (IRDye 800 CW from LiCor Biosciences, NE, USA). Membranes were scanned for fluorescence at 800 nm using the Odyssey Infrared Imaging System (LiCor Biosciences).

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.
