Anti flag m2 affinity gel beads

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

The Anti-FLAG M2 affinity gel beads are a laboratory tool used for the purification and detection of proteins tagged with the FLAG epitope. The beads are composed of agarose and are functionalized with the anti-FLAG M2 monoclonal antibody, which binds specifically to the FLAG tag. This allows for the efficient capture and isolation of FLAG-tagged proteins from complex biological samples.

mESCs were transfected with FLAG-WT DIS3L2, FLAG-mutant DIS3L21 (link), or empty pFLAG-CMV2 (as mock) vectors. At 48 h after transfection, mESCs were ultraviolet crosslinked, lyzed, and then RNA IP was performed using anti-FLAG M2 Affinity Gel beads (Sigma) as previously described7 (link), and co-precipitated RNAs were isolated, purified, and analyzed by qRT-PCR. Thirty micrograms of FLAG-SRP68 vector (OriGene Technologies, MR204949) was transfected into 107 ESCs in 15-cm dishes of DIS3L2 heterozygote (control) or knockout ESCs in triplicates using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen) overnight before changing the medium. At 48 h after transfection, cells were harvested without crosslinking and FLAG-SRP68 was precipitated using anti-FLAG M2 Affinity Gel beads (Sigma). Rabbit anti-RPL23a (Proteintech Group; 10 µg antibody per IP) or normal rabbit IgG (Cell signaling) and protein A agarose beads (Roche) were used for IP of ribosomes in control and DIS3L2 knockout ESCs. Co-precipitated RNAs were isolated, purified, and analyzed by qRT-PCR.

For co‐immunoprecipitation of FLAG‐BirA* fusions, one 10‐cm dish of the respective HEK293 stable lines was incubated with Tet (1 μg/ml) for 24 h. After incubation, cells were washed with cold PBS and harvested. Cells were subsequently frozen at −80°C or lysed immediately in lysis buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 8, 100 mM KCl, 2 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol, 0.1% NP‐40, 1 mM DTT, protease inhibitors (Roche)) for 30 min on ice. Lysates were frozen for 5 min on dry ice, then thawed and centrifuged for 20 min at 16,000 g at 4°C. Supernatants were incubated with anti‐FLAG M2 affinity gel beads (MilliporeSigma) for a minimum of 3 h at 4°C (prior to incubation with beads, a fraction of supernatants (inputs) were saved). After incubation, beads were pelleted and washed with lysis buffer. Laemmli buffer was added, and samples (inputs and IPs) were boiled 5 min at 95°C in preparation for SDS–PAGE. Proteins were transferred to PVDF membranes and probed using anti‐FLAG to detect the FLAG‐BirA* fusions, and anti‐TPGS1 or other satellite antibodies for the endogenous protein (antibodies listed in Table EV11).
For the co‐IPs using drug‐treated samples, FLAG‐BirA* only and FLAG‐BirA*‐PCM1 cells were grown in the presence of Tet and centrinone or DMSO for 7 days, and then processed as described above. In the case of microtubule disruption, nocodazole was added to the Tet‐induced cells 3 h before harvesting.
