Tubulin and flag

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

TUBULIN and FLAG are laboratory reagents used in scientific research. TUBULIN is a protein that forms the structural components of cellular microtubules, which play a crucial role in various cellular processes. FLAG is a commonly used epitope tag that can be attached to proteins to facilitate their detection and purification. Both TUBULIN and FLAG are widely used in biochemical and cell biology studies, but a more detailed description cannot be provided while maintaining an unbiased and strictly factual approach.

Cell lysates were made in RIPA buffer (Sigma) for direct Western blotting or in a PNE buffer (PBS:H2O at 1 :1, 0.5% NP40, 5 mM EDTA, 5% glycerol) for immunoprecipitation, with both buffers supplemented with protease (Roche) and phosphatase (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) inhibitor cocktails. Western blots and immunoprecipitations were performed using the following antibodies : p-ERK1/2 (T202/Y204), p-MEK1/2 (S217/221), p-AKT (Thr308), p-CRAF (S338), total ERK1/2, MEK1/2, MEK1, MEK2, AKT, CRAF, DUSP4 and HA (Cell Signaling Technology), TUBULIN and FLAG (Sigma), BRAF (F-7), BRAF (C-19), p-MEK1 (Thr291), p-MEK1 (S222) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and p-MEK2 (S226) (US Biological). Western blot quantification was performed using NIH Image J. The three-dimension structures of MEK1 (3EQC) and PTEN mutants were modeled by the I-TASSER online server. Modeling the V600EBRAF-MUTMEK1 dimer interface was based on the crystal structure of the WTBRAF-WTMEK1 dimer (4MNE), the MEK1-KSR2 dimer (2Y4I), and the asymmetric, vemurafenib-bound, V600EBRAF dimer (3GO7). Protein structures were visualized using Pymol

Proteins were extracted from isolated islets or NIT-1 cells using RIPA lysis buffer. Proteins (15–20 μg) were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes (Whatman, Clifton, NJ, USA). After incubation with specific antibodies, the membrane bands were visualized by Amersham Imager 680 Blot and Gel Imagers (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Marlborough, MA, USA). Antibodies against SENP2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc.), p616 DRP1 and DRP1 (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), GFP/YFP (Arigo Biolaboratories, Hsinchu City, Taiwan), GAPDH (Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA), tubulin and Flag (Sigma-Aldrich) and OXPHOS Rodent WB antibody cocktail (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) were used for western blotting.

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.
