Membrane proteins were transferred from BN-PAGE to PVDF membranes. After blocking of the membranes for 1 h with 10% non-fat dry milk in 0.1% TBST (100 mM Tris–HCL, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.5, 0.1% Tween 20), mouse anti-GABAB1 (Abcam, ab55051, Cambridge, UK; 1/5000). Goat anti-GABAB1a (sc-73401/2500), goat anti-MuscarinicM2 (Abcam, ab140473, Cambridge, UK; 1/3000) and rabbit anti-GABAB2 (Abcam, ab75838, Cambridge, UK; 1/5000). The antibodies were detected using horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary anti-rabbit IgG antibodies (Abcam, ab6721, Cambridge, UK; 1/10,000), anti-Goat IgG antibodies (Abcam, ab6741, Cambridge, UK; 1/5000), Anti-Mouse IgG antibodies (Abcam, 97035, Cambridge, UK; 1/10,000) Membranes were then developed with the ECL Plus Western Blotting Detection System (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK). All membranes were stained with Coomassie blue R-350 (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK, Falsafi et al., 2012 (link)). Arbitrary optical densities of immunoreactive bands were measured by the Image J software program (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/). Loading controls for the BN-PAGE western blot were carried out according to Welinder and Ekblad (Welinder and Ekblad, 2011 (link)).

After IEF, strips were incubated in equilibration buffer Urea 6 M, Tris-HCl pH 8.8 75 mM, 30% (vol/vol) Glycerol, 2% (wt/vol) SDS containing 1.5% (wt/vol) DTT in the first step and 2.5% (wt/vol) iodoacetamide during the second step (15 min per step). The SDS-PAGE was carried out using 12.5% polyacrylamide gels (10 × 8 cm) on a SE 260 mini-vertical gel electrophoresis unit (Amersham Biosciences) under the following protocol: 80 V/30 min + 200 V/75 min. Then, gels were fixed with 50% (vol/vol) methanol, 10% (vol/vol) acetic acid solution, and stained with Coomassie Blue R 350 (GE Healthcare). Stained gels were scanned using an ImageScanner III scanner and LabScan software (GE Healthcare).

PLI samples were subjected to 12% SDS-PAGE, according to Laemmli, (1970) [31 (link)] under reducing by β- mercaptoethanol or non-reducing conditions. By lane, 20 μg of protein was applied. The molecular marker used was Dual Color Precision Plus, BioRad. The gels were stained using Coomassie Blue R350 (GE Healthcare).

SDS-PAGE Protein Separation and Analysis

Denaturing one-dimensional electrophoresis was performed using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)—polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with a 12.5% concentration of acrylamide (Sigma Aldrich, USA) in the separating gel and 5% concentration in the stacking gel [25 (link),26 (link)]. Combs with a 5 mm tooth width were used to form pockets for the samples. In order to reduce disulfide bonds, the analyzed samples were placed in the sample buffer (2% lithium dodecyl sulfate (LDS), 0.065 M Tris-HCl (pH 6.8), 1% dithiothreitol (DTT), 10% glycerol, and 0.01% bromophenol blue (all from Sigma Aldrich, USA)) and were heated in a boiling water bath for 2 min. An amount of 1 μL of the Precision Plus Protein Standard (BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA) was loaded as a marker. A maximum of 40 μL (32 μL of the analyzed sample and 8 μL of the buffer) was applied to the lane. Electrophoretic separation (SDS-PAGE) of the sample proteins was performed using the Hoefer miniVE system (Hoefer Inc., Holliston, MA, USA) (gel size of 80 × 90 × 1 mm). Gels were stained with Coomassie Blue R-350 (GE Healthcare, USA) for 2 h.

Gelatin Zymography Analysis

Zymography analysis was carried out as described previously [44] . Briefly, samples were run under non-reducing conditions without prior boiling in precast 10 % polyacrylamide mini-gels containing 0.1 % gelatin as substrate (Invitrogen). After electrophoresis, gels were washed twice for 15 min in 2.7 % Triton X-100 on a rotary shaker to remove SDS and to allow proteins to renature. The gels were then incubated in a buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 200 mM NaCl, 5 mM CaCl 2 and 0.2 % Brij35 (Invitrogen) for 18 h at 37 °C. The zymograms were stained for 90 min with 0.02 % Coomassie Blue R-350 in a 30 % methanol/10 % acetic acid solution using PhastGel-Blue-R tablets (GE Healthcare). Areas of substrate digestion appear as clear bands against a darkly stained background. Densitometric quantification of developed zymograms was performed as described for Western blots.

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.
