For each immunoprecipitation, 12 × 106 cells were treated for 24 h with OHT to activate CRE–ER and 1.5 h with 25 µM MG132 (VWR). Cell lysates were prepared in Kischkel buffer (50 mM Tris⋅HCl pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, and Complete Protease Inhibitor mixture [Sigma-Aldrich]), briefly sonicated, and subject to immunoprecipitation overnight with the 12CA5 antibody. Immune complexes were captured with Protein-G agarose (Cell Signaling Technologies), washed in Kischkel buffer, and resolved by SDS/PAGE followed by immunoblotting.

For T7- and Flag-IP experiments, HEK293T cells were transiently transfected for 24 hr with indicated plasmids, along with GFP to tell transfection efficiency, using calcium phosphate transfection. Cells were lysed in Lysis Buffer, sonicated, and debris cleared by centrifugation. Equal amounts of lysates were used for immunoprecipitation with T7 antibody or, in the case of Flag-IP, M2-conjugated agarose beads (Sigma) overnight at 4°C. For T7-IPs, antibody complexes were bound to protein G agarose (Sigma) the next day. Following binding, all IP samples were washed extensively in Lysis Buffer and then boiled in loading dye. For endogenous BAF155 co-immunoprecipitation experiments, samples were processed similarly, except cells were treated for 1.5 hr with 25 μM MG132 (VWR) and then nuclei from cells were extracted in 10mM HEPES, pH 7.9, 10mM KCl, 0.4% NP-40 prior to lysis in Lysis Buffer. Equal amounts of nuclear lysates were subjected to immunoprecipitation with 5 μl of BAF155 antibody (Cell Signaling, 11956) overnight at 4°C and bound to protein A agarose (Roche) the next day. Following four washes as described above, samples were boiled in loading dye.

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.
