Western Blot
1 - 20 μg of Arabidopsis thaliana whole rosette leaves extract
2 - 10 μg of Arabidopsis thaliana whole rosette leaves extract
3 - 5 μg of Arabidopsis thaliana whole rosette leaves extract
20, 10 and 5 μg of total protein from Arabidopsis thaliana rosette leaves extracted with extraction buffer 100 mm Tris-HCl, pH 8.5, 4% [w/v] SDS, 2% [v/v] β-mercapthoethanol, and 2 mm phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and separated on 10% SDS-PAGE and blotted 1h to PVDF. Blots were blocked with 1% non-fat milk in TBS for 1 h at room temperature with agitation. Membranes were incubated in the primary antibody at a dilution 1:5000 (A) or 1:1000 (B) in 1% non-fat milk in TBS at 4°C overnight. Then, membranes were washed 3 Times for 15 min in TBS at RT with agitation. Membranes were incubated in secondary antibody (Anti-rabbit IgG horse radish peroxidase conjugated from Agrisera AS09 602) diluted to 1: 25 000 in 1% non-fat milk in TBS for 1h at RT with agitation. The blots were washed as above and developed for 5 min with ECL (Agrisera ECL Bright AS16 ECL-N) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Exposure time was 2 seconds.

5 µg of total protein from Arabidopsis thaliana (1), Hordeum vulgare (2), Zea mays (3) extracted with Agrisera PEB extraction buffer were separated on 4-12 % SDS-PAGE and blotted 1h to PVDF. Blots were blocked with for 1h at room temperature (RT) with agitation. Blot was incubated in the primary antibody at a dilution of 1: 10 000 for 1h at RT 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 secondary antibody (anti-rabbit IgG horse radish peroxidase conjugated, from Agrisera AS09 602 ) diluted to 1:25 000 in for 1h at RT with agitation. The blot was washed as above and developed for 5 min with ECL Advance according to the manufacturers instructions (GE Health care). Exposure time was 120 seconds.
Total protein from either rice embryos or rice protoplasts extracted with buffer containing 60mM Tris-HCl (pH8.0), 2% SDS(w/v), 15% Sucrose (w/v) and protease inhibitor 1X were separated on 12 % SDS-PAGE and blotted 1h to PVDF. Blots were blocked with skimmed milk containing TBS 1X for 1h at room temperature (RT) with agitation. Blot was incubated in the primary antibody at a dilution of 1: 1 000 overnight at 4 degree with shaking about 40 rpm. 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 secondary antibody (anti-rabbit IgG horse radish peroxidase conjugated) diluted to 1:20 000 in for 1h at RT with agitation. The blot was washed as above and developed for 5 min with ECL according to the manufacturers instructions. Exposure time was 10 seconds.

Open PublicationAbundance of the RBCS and RBCL proteins in Euglena gracilis and Euglena longa.Protein immunodetection was performed using anti-RBCS, anti-RBCL, and anti-Tubulin antibodies. Three bands with different molecular weights were observed in anti-RBCS immunoblotting. The ~130 kDa band (marked *1) corresponds to polyprotein synthesized in the nucleus. The ~15 kDa band (marked *3) corresponds to the processed monomer after cleavage of the signal sequence and excision of decapeptides. The ~22 kDa band (marked *2) possibly corresponds to a monomer still attached to the transit peptide. The identity of the RBCL protein (arrowhead in the anti-RBCL panel) was confirmed by mass-spectrometry. Tubulin served as a loading control. Molecular weights in kDa are indicated on the left. EG-, E. gracilis cultivated photosynthetically (without ethanol); EG+, E. gracilis cultivated mixotrophically (with ethanol); EL, E. longa.

Open PublicationStability of RBCS and RBCL proteins in Euglena gracilis and Euglena longa.Cell cultures were treated with 20 ?g/ml of cycloheximide, aliquots were taken at 0, 1, 4, 8, and 24 h post treatment, and analyzed by western blotting using anti-RBCS, anti-RBCL and anti-Tubulin antibodies. Molecular weights (in kDa) are indicated on the left of each panel. The identity of the RBCL protein (arrowhead in the anti-RBCL panel) was confirmed by mass-spectrometry. Tubulin served as a loading control. Cultivation conditions and species are denoted as in Fig 2.
