Cells were lysed on ice for 20 min with NP-40 buffer containing 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 120 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, and proteases inhibitors (Roche Applied Science #04693124001). Cell lysates were spun at 10,000 × g for 30 min at 4 °C. Sixty micrograms of proteins were mixed with a 4x Laemmli buffer and then loaded on SDS-PAGE. Proteins resolved onto 4–20% polyacrylamide gels (Bio-rad #4561096) were transferred to Hybond C nitrocellulose membranes (GE Healthcare #10600016). Membranes were immunoblotted with primary antibodies (rabbit anti-GFP, 1:10000, Torrey Pines Biolabs #TP401; rabbit anti-α-actinin, clone D6F6, 1:3000, Cell Signaling #6487; mouse anti-Na+/K+-ATPase, 1:5000, Abcam #AB7671; rabbit anti-calreticulin, 1:1000, Abcam #92516) and then with either an anti-rabbit or anti-mouse horseradish peroxidase (HRP)–conjugated secondary antibody (anti-rabbit, 1:10000, GE Healthcare #NA934; anti-mouse, 1:5000, Merck #12-349). Immuno-reactivity was detected with an enhanced chemiluminescence substrate for detection of HRP (SuperSignal West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate, Thermo Fisher Scientific #34080).

For BiFC, HEK293 cells were plated onto Poly-D-Lysine (P0899, Sigma-Aldrich) coated coverslips 48 h before transfection. Cells were co-transfected with the indicated pEZY BiFC C-Venus and N-Venus plasmids using the JetPEI transfection reagent (101, Polyplus Transfection) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Twenty to 24 h after transfection, the cells were fixed with 4% PFA, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 and stained with rabbit anti-calreticulin (1:500, RRID:AB_303402, ab2907, Abcam), and goat anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 568 (1:1000, A11011, RRID:AB_143157) from Thermo Fisher Scientific. Hoechst 33342 (H1399, Invitrogen) was used for nuclear counterstaining and ProLong Diamond Antifade Mountant (P36965, Thermo Fisher Scientific) for mounting.

Whole-cell lysates and cell fraction lysates were prepared as described above, and protein concentrations were determined by the Bradford method (Bradford, 1976 (link)). Samples were diluted in a reducing sample buffer, and subjected to SDS-PAGE using Peirce pre-cast Tris-HEPES gels. A BioRad SemiDry Transfer apparatus was used for gel transfer to PVDF. The resulting Western blots were probed using the following primary antibodies: PRK8 mouse-anti-Parkin (1:200; Santa Cruz), rabbit-anti-Mitofusin-2 (1:2000; Sigma, cat# 110M4842), mouse-anti-HSP60 (1:1200; Stressgen, cat# SPA-806), rabbit-anti-calreticulin (1:1000; Abcam, cat# ab92516), rabbit-anti-GAPDH (1:1200; Santa Cruz, cat# sc25778), rabbit-anti-actin (1:12,000; Abcam, cat# ab8227), rabbit-anti-FACL4 (1:5000; Abcam, cat# ab137525). For secondaries, corresponding Li-Cor Odyssey compatible IR680- and IR800-conjugated antibodies were used for detection, and blots were imaged and analyzed using a Li-Cor Odyssey system (Li-Cor).

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.
