Detecting His-Tag Fusion Proteins in Chromatography Fractions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To identify the expressed his-tag fusion proteins in the different elution fractions of the Ni-NTA agarose affinity chromatography, aliquots of the elution fractions were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and the separated protein bands were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) by a wet blotting method. The blots were reversibly stained with Ponceau red (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) to ensure complete protein transfer. Subsequently the blotting membrane was blocked using the blotting-grade blocker solution (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) and was then incubated for 1 h with a 1:5000 diluted anti-his-tag antibody carrying horse redish peroxidase as marker enzyme (Miltenyi Biotec GmbH, Bergisch Gladbach, Deutschland). Immunoreactive bands were visualized using the SERVALight Polaris CL HRP WB Substrate Kit (Serva Electrophoresis GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany). Chemiluminescence was detected using a FUJIFILM Luminescent Image Analyzer LAS-1000plus & Intelligent Dark Box II.

Samples were incubated at 95°C for 10 min, briefly centrifuged and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting using anti-Myc antisera (9E11, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, Texas, USA). Immunoreactive signals were detected with a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (P0447, Dako, Santa Clara, California, USA) reacted with ECL Select (GE Healthcare, Little Chalfont Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom) and images were acquired with a FujiFilm LAS-1000 camera using the Intelligent Dark Box II (FujiFilm, Tokyo, Japan).

Western blot was performed as previously described.[32 (link)] The antibodies and reagents used are described in the next section. Imaging was done on a Fuji Intelligent Dark Box II with LAS-1000 software [Fuji, Tokyo, Japan] and Bio-rad FluorS MAX MultiImager with Bio-Rad Quantity One software [Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc., Hercules, CA, USA]. Images were analysed with ImageJ software [National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA]. Intensities of protein-specific bands were calculated relative to respective Actin intensity to account for loading irregularities.[32 (link)]

One millilitre of culture of OD620 = 0.6 was washed once with PBS and boiled 5 min in samples buffer (60 mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 2% SDS, 2% β-mercaptoethanol, trace bromophenol blue). Whole cell lysates were analysed on Tris-glycine SDS-PAGE gel in a Protean II xi cell electrophoresis system (Bio-Rad) and visualized by Coomassie staining or transferred to nitrocellulose for Western blotting. Membranes were blocked with 5% BSA in PBS for 1 h, incubated 2 h with 1:2000 diluted α-OmpP5 rabbit polyclonal antibody with 0.5% BSA in PBS, washed five times for 5 min with Tris buffered saline + 0.05% Tween-20, incubated with 1:5000 diluted HRP-labelled donkey anti-rabbit Ig (GE Healthcare) and washed five times for 5 min with Tris buffered saline + 0.05% Tween-20. Binding was detected with ECL Western blotting substrate (Pierce) with a Fujifilm LAS-1000 scanner in an intelligent dark box II (Fuji Film). Densitometry analysis was performed with ImageJ (Schneider et al., 2012 (link)). Relative spot intensity was calculated by dividing the intensity of the OmpP5 protein as determined by Western blot by the intensity of all proteins in the Coomassie stain as loading control.

For SDS/PAGE, approximately 100 µg denatured protein of the bacterial lysate supernatants were analyzed on a 7.5% polyacrylamide gel. The separated protein bands were then transferred onto a Protran BA 85 Membrane (Carl Roth GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany) and the blots were probed with an anti-his-tag-HRP conjugated antibody (Miltenyi Biotec GmbH, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). Immunoreactive bands were visualized using the SERVALight Polaris CL HRP WB Substrate Kit (Serva Electrophoresis GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany). Chemiluminescence was detected on a FUJIFILM Luminescent Image Analyzer LAS-1000plus & Intelligent Dark Box II. For testing the pH-dependence of the product mixture of wildtype human and mouse ALOX15B orthologs, a 1:1 mixtures of 0.05 M sodium phosphate buffer and 0.05 M sodium borate buffer were used and the different pH values were adjusted at room temperature by the addition of 5 M NaOH or HCl, respectively. The protein concentrations in the bacterial lysates were quantified using Bradford Reagent for quantitative protein determination (AppliChem, VWR International GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany) according to the instructions of the vendor. For statistical calculations and figure design we used the GraphPad prism program (version 8.00, GraphPad Software, La Jolla, CA, USA).

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.
