Western blotting analysis was carried out as detailed elsewhere (60 (link),62 (link)). Fish were sacrificed after anesthesia and homogenized in RIPA reagent (Invitrogen) using a homogenizer. Twenty micrograms of total proteins were electrophoresed through 10% bis-Tris SDS-polyacrylamide gels and then transferred to a polyvinyl difluoride (PVDF) membrane. The antibodies used for this investigation were from Sigma [Mto1 (Sigma, HPA030232) and Gapdh (SAB2701826)], Abcam [Nd1 (ab74257), Sdha (ab151684), Atp5a (ab188107), Mtpap (ab154555) and Uqcrc2 (ab203832)] and Proteintech [Co2 (55070-1-AP), Atp8 (26723-1-AP), Ndufs1 (12444-1-AP), Cox5a (11448–1-AP), Atp5c (60284-1-Ig), Tfam (19998-1-AP), and Tufm (26730-1-AP) and Tom20 (1802-1-AP)]. Peroxidase AffiniPure goat anti-mouse IgG and goat anti-rabbit IgG (Jackson) were used as secondary antibodies and protein signals were detected using the ECL system (CWBIO). Quantification of density in each band was carried out as detailed previously (60 (link)).
