Pierce silver stain for mass spectrometry kit

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The Pierce Silver Stain for Mass Spectrometry kit is a laboratory product designed for the detection and visualization of proteins separated by gel electrophoresis. The kit utilizes a silver-based staining method to enhance the sensitivity of protein detection compared to traditional Coomassie blue staining. The stained proteins can then be further analyzed using mass spectrometry techniques.

Antibodies were enriched from serum by passing serum over an agarose SulfoLink® affinity column (Thermo Scientific) containing covalently immobilized 1. 2 mL of resin slurry was added to a 5 mL fritted syringe and evacuated by centrifugation and washed three times in 2 mL of coupling buffer (50 mM, 5 mM EDTA, pH 8.5). 2 mg of 1 dissolved in PBS was incubated with the column for 45 minutes at room temperature. After washing in PBS containing 1 M NaCl, unreacted iodoacetamide groups were quenched with a solution of 50 mM cysteine in coupling buffer and equilibrated into TBS. Approximately 50 µL of NOD mouse serum was diluted to 500 µL in Gentle Ag/Ab Binding Buffer (Thermo Scientific) and added to the affinity column. The column was rotated for 60 min at room temperature. The column was washed three times with 2 mL TBS and bound IgG was eluted under high salt conditions using Gentle Ag/Ab Elution Buffer pH 6.6 (Thermo Scientific). The IgG was dialyzed overnight in TBS and concentrated to ≈250 µg mL−1 total protein using a 50 kDa molecular weight cut-off spin filter (EMD Millipore). SDS-PAGE gels were stained with Pierce Silver Stain Kit for Mass Spectrometry (Thermo Scientific) and imaged using a ChemiDoc™ XRS+ System (Bio Rad), which also measured band intensities to generate standard curves.

After verifying that NDUFA4L2 was immunoprecipitated, we determined the proteins immunoprecipitated in RCC4-P versus RCC4-KO-643 cell extracts. We first loaded the immunoprecipitation samples (~1.5 mg each) onto a 12% Bis-Tris gel. Samples were electrophoresed into the gel, and the gel was fixed with the same Fixative Solution used with the Pierce Silver Stain Kit for Mass Spectrometry (ThermoFisher, 24600). The gel then underwent in-gel trypsin digestion, followed by peptide desalting and LC-MS/MS analysis for protein identification using an Easy-nLC 1200 coupled to an Orbitrap Fusion Lumos mass spectrometer. We used label-free spectral counting to quantitate protein abundance. MaxQuant software was used to process data and to search against the UniProt human protein database. The LC-MS/MS was performed on three biological replicates per group by Drs. Mengmeng Zhu and Guoan Zhang in the Weill Cornell Medicine LC-MS/MS Core.

The cytoplasmic fraction of A2780 cells treated with or without 0.25μM KPT-185 was immunoprecipitated with anti-eIF5A antibody in lysis buffer. Immunoprecipitated proteins were resolved by 4–12% SDS-PAGE and stained using the Pierce Silver Stain Kit for Mass Spectrometry (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Six bands that showed different intensities were excised, digested in the gel with 200 ng of modified trypsin (sequencing grade, Promega) for 18 hours at 37°C, extracted, and analyzed by high-sensitivity-LC-MS/MS and an orbital ion-trap mass spectrometer (Orbitrap Elite, Thermo Scientific). Proteins were identified by searching the fragment spectra against the Swiss-Prot protein database (EBI) using Mascot (Matrix Science) or Sequest (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Putative ET-interaction partners were co-immunoprecipitated from S2 cell protein lysates using Anti-V5 Agarose Affinity Gel (Sigma, #A7345, Israel) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The following lysates were used: S2 cells (neg. ctrl 1), empty pMT-vector (neg. ctrl 2), pMT-ET-V5 and pMT-ET-V5 + pMT-upd1-myc. 900 µl of each lysate, containing approximately 2.5 mg of protein, was incubated overnight with the Anti-V5 Agarose Affinity Gel, after which the complexes were washed 6 x 10 minutes with PBS containing protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail. All incubations and treatments were carried out at 4°C or on ice. Finally, loading buffer was added on the washed affinity gel containing protein complexes and the samples were boiled to release the proteins. Purified protein complexes were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and silver-staining.
For SDS-PAGE, Novex 10% NuPAGE Bis-Tris (Life Technologies, #NP0301BOX, USA) gels were used. Precision Plus Protein™ Dual Xtra Standard (Bio-Rad, #161-0377, USA) was used as a marker.

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.
