GFP-positive HeLa cells transfected with the indicated plasmids were collected using FACS (BeckMan Coulter, Astrios EQ). Generally, 106 cells were sorted, washed twice with PBS, and lysed in a buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 0.5% NP-40, 0.1%SDS and protease inhibitors. After incubation at 4 °C for 10 min, the soluble fraction (containing 0.1 M NaCl) was separated from the chromatin fraction by centrifugation at 15,000 × g for 10 min. The chromatin pellet was then incubated in the above buffer with the addition of 0.5 M NaCl at 4 °C for 1 h, followed by centrifugation at 15,000 × g for 10 min. The final pellet was resuspended in 1 M NaCl of the above buffer, sonicated for 20 s (1 s on and 1 s off), incubated at 4 °C for 1 h, and then centrifuged. These lysate fractions were subjected to Co-IP with an antibody against SMC3 (abcam, ab9263). Further immunoblot analyses were performed with the following antibodies: H3 (Ruiying Biological Technology, RLM-3038), ACTB (ABclonal, AC026), RAD21 (Thermo Scientific, PA5-54128), and SMC3 (abcam, ab9263).

For protein level analyses, proteins were extracted from germ cells using RIPA buffer (Santa Cruz) containing 1× protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche). Protein concentration was calculated using a BCA protein assay kit (Pierce). Lanes of 4–15% gradient SDS polyacrylamide gels (Bio-Rad) were loaded with 20 µl of 1 mg/ml protein extract. Following protein separation via standard SDS PAGE, proteins were transferred to PVDF membranes using the Trans-Blot® Turbo™ western transfer system (Bio-Rad). Primary antibodies and dilution used are presented in Supplemental Table S2. At a 1∶20,000 dilution, Invitrogen horseradish peroxidase-conjugated antibodies rabbit anti-mouse (R21455), goat anti-rabbit (A10533), rabbit anti-goat (R21459) were used as secondary antibodies. The presence of antibodies on the PVDF membranes was detected via treatment with Pierce ECL western blotting substrate (Thermo Scientific) and captured using the Syngene XR5 gel documentation system. Protein levels were assessed using Image J (NIH). The SMC3 Co-IP experiment was performed using the Dynabead® Co-IP kit (Life Technologies). Each milligram of beads was covalently linked to 4 µg of SMC3 antibody (Abcam, ab9263) or corresponding IgG control antibody (Life Technologies, A10533).

Antibody-Mediated Cohesin Depletion in Meiosis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The anti-Smc3 antibody used was rabbit anti-Smc3 (Abcam ab9263). The anti-Rec8 antibody was generated in-house using a previously characterized epitope [47 (link)]. The control IgG used was a normal rabbit IgG (Millipore 12-370). With the exception of anti-Smc3, all antibodies were concentrated using Amicon Ultra-0.5 100 kDa centrifugal filter devices (Millipore) to remove traces of azide and replace the buffer with PBS. Following concentrations of antibodies were used: anti-Smc3 (1 mg/ml), anti-Rec8 (2 mg/ml) and control IgG (2 mg/ml). Prior to microinjection into eggs, the antibodies were spun at 10,000 rpm (4°C) for 10 minutes and supplemented with NP-40 at a final concentration of 0.05%. Antibody microinjection into eggs was performed as described previously for mRNA microinjection [52 (link)]. For full depletion experiments in the metaphase of meiosis II, a bolus of 6 pl of anti-Smc3 or anti-Rec8 was microinjected into the eggs, whereas for partial depletion experiments 2 pl of the anti-Smc3 antibody were microinjected. For partial depletion of cohesins in meiosis I, a bolus of 4 pl of the anti-Smc3 antibody was microinjected 4.5-5.5 hours after the oocytes were released from prophase arrest. The oocytes were then fixed 7 h 15 min – 8 hours after the release.

Fully grown GV-stage oocytes from each group were isolated as mentioned earlier, and briefly washed with L-15 medium. Then, 30 oocytes per tube were collected in 10 µl of L-15 medium and snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen. Frozen oocytes were stored at −80°C before testing.

Proteins were separated using Bio-Rad 4-15% gradient gels (456-1084) and blotted on a PVDF membrane (GE Healthcare; 10061-494). Blots were blocked with 0.3% ECL Prime Blocking Reagent (GE Healthcare; RPN418) in Tris-buffered saline supplemented with 0.01% Tween (TBSTw) for 1 h. SMC3 (Abcam; ab9263; 1:2000) and γ-tubulin (Abcam; ab11316; 1:1000) primary antibodies were diluted in 0.3% blocking buffer at 4°C overnight.

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.
