Cell lysates were prepared, and protein concentration was quantified using the BCA assay kit (Beijing Dingguo Changsheng Biotechnology CO., Ltd. Beijing, China). Equal amounts of proteins were separated with 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gels and then transferred onto PVDF membranes (Millipore CO., Ltd. Beijing, China). The membranes were blocked in Tris-buffered saline/Tween 20 (TBS-T) containing 5% skim milk for 1 h and incubated with primary antibodies against URAT1, OAT1, and β-actin overnight at 4°C. After washing with the TBS-T buffer, the membrane was incubated with the secondary antibody. Specific bands were visualized on gel imager (Bio-rad, USA) by chemiluminescence using ECL™ Detection reagents (Abbkine Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Wuhan, China).

Protein samples from cells and animal tissues were lysed in Cell Lysis Buffer (Beyotime, Jiangsu, China) containing 1 mM of phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF, Beyotime). The concentration of the protein homogenates was determined using the BCA assay Kit (Dingguo, Beijing, China). Equal volumes of protein samples were separated by SDS-poly acrylamide gel electrophoresis and electro-transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). After blocked with 5% non-fat milk dissolved in TBST (10 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, and 0.1% Tween-20; pH 7.6), for 2 h at room temperature, the membranes were incubated with the primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Thereafter, membranes were incubated with the secondary antibodies coupled to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) for 2 h at room temperature. Protein bands were visualized with enhanced Chemiluminescence substrate Kits (ECL, New Cell & Molecular Biotech Co, Ltd, China).

The total proteins that had been extracted from the sample cells with RIPA lysis buffer (NanJing SunShine Biotech Co., Ltd.) were quantified using a BCA Assay kit (Beijing Dingguo Changsheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) in accordance with the standard protocol. For the Co-IP, 500 µg of protein was cultivated with 1–2 µg of the antibodies specific to TRIM59 (ab178847; 1:40; Abcam) and AnxA2 (ab189473; 1:30; Abcam) overnight at 4 ℃. Next, 40 µL of protein A/G PLUS-Agarose beads (Invitrogen) was added, and the proteins were cultivated at room temperature for another 2 h.

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.
