Application example
25 µg (1) or 50 µg (2) of mitochondria, isolated from 14-day old Col-0 plants (Arabidopsis thaliana) grown in hydroponic cultures, were separated on a 12.5% acrylamide-SDS-PAGE. The unstained peqGOLD low molecular weight (LMW) protein marker was used as a molecular weight standard. The gel was subsequently incubated in transfer buffer (40 mM glycine, 100 mM Tris, 0.375 % (w/v) SDS, pH 8.9-9) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Semidry western blotting was performed with 3 layers of whatman paper soaked in transfer buffer and blotted at 0.8 mA/ cm2 gel for one hour at room temperature. Blocking was performed for one hour in TBS-T (150 mM NaCl, 10 mM Tris pH 7.4, 0.1 % (v/v) Tween-20) with the addition of 3 % (w/v) non-fat milk at room temperature. Primary antibody (1:2000 dilution) incubation was performed at 4°C/ON in the presence of 1 % (w/v) non-fat milk in TBS-T. Secondary antibody goat anti-rabbit HRP conjugated (AS09 602 Agrisera), at 1:10 000 dilution) was incubated 1h/RT in TBS-T. Chemiluminescence was detected using a 1:1 ratio mixture of ECL 1 (100 mM Tris, 1 % (w/v) luminol, 0.44 % (w/v) coumaric acid, pH 8.5) and ECL 2 (100 mM Tris, 0.18 % (v/v) H2O2, pH 8.5) solution and visualized using an Image QuantLAS4000 image visualizer (GE healthcare). The membrane was exposed for 60 seconds.
UCP was detected at a size of approximately 29 kDa.

10 μg of mitochondrial fraction from Arabidopsis thaliana and 25 μg of Arabidopsis thaliana leaf extract were separated on 10% gel and blotted on nitrocellulose membrane using wet transfer (0.22% CAPS, pH 11). Filters where blocked (1.5h) in 5% milk in TBST (1X TBS, 0,1% Tween 20), incubated with 1: 5000 anti-UCP antibodies (2h in TBST) followed by incubation with 1: 10 000 secondary anti-rabbit (1h) HRP-coupled antibodies from Agrisera, AS09 602 and visualized with standard ECL on Kodak autoradiography film for 15-60 s. Mitochondria were isolated as described by Urantowka et al. (Plant Mol Biol, 2005, 59:239-52). Mitochondrial pellets were suspended in 1X Laemmli buffer (5% beta-mercaptoetanol, 3.7% glycerol, 1.1% SDS, 23 mM Tris- HCl pH 6.8, 0.01% bromophenol blue), heated (95°C, 5 min.) and centrifuged (13 000rpm, 1 min.). Leaf extracts were prepared as described by Martinez-Garcia et al. (Plant J., 1999, 20:251-7).Courtesy Dr. Janusz Piechota, Wrocław University, Poland - Additional Information

Additional information: Peptide used to elicit this antibody is conserved in both isoforms, UCP1 and UCP2 of Arabidopsis thaliana.
- Background
-
Background: UCP (uncoupling protein) is an inner membrane mitochondrial protein that can dissipate the proton gradien before it can be used to provide the energy for oxidative phosphorylation. Synonymes: AtUCP, Uncoupling protein 2.

Protocols to work with plant and algal protein extractsPlant Mitochondria Preparation
In this example of mitochondrial preparation used material are etiolated corn seedlings, however, it can also be applied to prepare crude mitochondria from any plant tissue. The volume has to be adjusted, to match the amount of plant material available. For some plant tissues, it can be useful to include sand when grinding the tissue.
Important remarks before you start:
- Whole procedure should be done at 4ºC
- All centrifugations should be done at 4ºC
- Whole procedure should be done as fast as possible
- Plant material should be homogenized very quickly
- Very careful pipeting is recommended
- After isolation membrane integrity can be checked (should be around 80 %). It can be done using Cytochrome C oxidase kit (Sigma)
Materials:
250 ml grinding media (1.8 g PVPP and 0.34 g L-cysteine)
1 liter beaker and large funnel
2 - large, wetted muslins
8 - 35 ml centrifuge tubes
large pestle and mortar
SS-34 rotor Sorvell centrifuges, or JA-20 for Beckman
75 g corn shootsPrecautions:
Until the time of mitochondrial isolation all plants should be kept in the darkness for min. 8 hours. Plant material should not contain any harder plant parts. Proposed tissue amount 15 grams/60 ml of homogenization buffer. Leaf tissue should be quickly and thoroughly cut followed by 3 minute of homogenization.
It is important to keep all materials cold (4°C) and work swiftly while grinding and spinning.
Procedure:
1. Place ½ of the shoots into the mortar and add grinding media to nearly cover the shoots. Grind until shoots are unrecognizable, add additional grinding medium, and pour pulp into muslin and squeeze. Grind the remaining shoots in a similar way and use the second clean muslin to filter. Divide filtrate evenly among the 8 tubes.
2. Spin at 6500 rpm for 2 min at speed.
3. Transfer supernatant into 8 clean tubes.
4. Spin at 12,750 for 5 min at speed.
5. Discard supernatant. Place the tubes on ice at an angle with pellet-side up.
6. Wash the pellets with 1 ml of Wash Media to remove yellow slime
7. Add 5 ml of Wash Media and resuspend the pellet with a pipetman while leaving behind the small white mass (starch). Pool into two tubes.
8. Spin at 6500 rpm for 2 min at speed.
9. Pipet supernatant into clean tubes while leaving behind slimy film
10. Underlay the supernatant with 8 ml of Sucrose cushion.
11. Spin at 9250 rpm for 20 min at speed.
12. Aspirate supernatant.
13. Resuspend each pellet in a suspension medium of choice, this is your crude mitochondrial prearation.Solutions Required
