PGR5 | Proton gradient regulation 5

Experimental conditions for detection in extracts of Picea abies and Pinus sylvestris:

25 µg/well of total protein extracted  from needles of Picea abies and Pinus sylvestris.   Exact buffer components were: 10% trichloroacetic acid (TCA)/ acetone buffer. Then followed by a methanol buffer (80% methanol with 0.1 M ammonium acetate) wash and an 80% acetone wash step. Subsequently, total of 1.8 ml mixture of 1:1 phenol (pH 8.0)/SDS buffer (30% sucrose, 2% SDS, 0.1M Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 5% 2-mercaptoethanol) were added to the tube to extract proteins from dry pellets. After centrifuging at 16,000 g, 4 °C for 3 min, 0.4 ml phenol phase extraction were mixed with 1.6 ml methanol buffer and then centrifuged at 16,000 g, 4 °C for 3 min. The pellets were washed twice with methanol and 80% acetone. Final protein pellets were dissolved in 0.2 ml Laemmli sample buffer,  and denatured at 100 °C for 10 min.  Samples were separated in the cold on 12 % SDS-PAGE  and blotted for 1 h to PVDF membrane, using: wet transfer in the cold. Blot was blocked with 5 % milk for: 1h/RT with agitation. Blot was incubated in the primary antibody at a dilution of 1: 1000 for ON/4°C with agitation. The antibody solution was decanted and the blot was rinsed briefly twice, then washed once for 15 min and 3 times for 5 min in TBS-T at RT with agitation. Blot was incubated in  matching secondary antibody (anti-rabbit IgG horse radish peroxidase conjugated) diluted to 1: 10 000 in  for 1h/RT with agitation. The blot was washed as above and developed with a following chemiluminescent detection reagent:. Exposure time was  1-5 minutes. Yang et al. 2020.
