Anti flag m2 magnetic agarose beads

Manufactured by Merck Group

The Anti-FLAG M2 Magnetic Agarose Beads are a laboratory product designed for the purification and detection of proteins tagged with the FLAG epitope. The beads are composed of agarose and contain the Anti-FLAG M2 antibody, which binds to the FLAG tag with high affinity. The magnetic properties of the beads allow for easy separation and washing of the bound protein during the purification process.

For 3xFLAG-Ctp IP-MS, 1 × 107 OSCs were seeded in 10 cm dishes, and transfected with 20 µg 3xFLAG- fusion expression plasmid (Xfect) the following day. Cells were harvested 48 hr post-transfection and lysed in IP Lysis Buffer (Pierce) supplemented with protease inhibitors (Roche) for 45 min at 4°C. After centrifugation at 16,500 g for 10 min at 4°C, lysates (with 5% saved as input) were incubated with 50 µl anti-FLAG M2 magnetic agarose beads (Sigma M8823) overnight at 4°C. Beads were washed three times for 15 min in IP Lysis Buffer, twice in ice-cold PBS and twice in 100 mM ammonium bicarbonate before being submitted for mass spectrometry analysis. For the 3xFLAG-Panx IP-MS, 1 × 107 OSCs were nucleofected with 5 µg 3xFLAG- fusion expression plus 2 µl siRNA against endogenous Panx. Cells were harvested 48 hr post transfection and fractionated according to the above protocol. After sonication, the nuclear fraction was additionally treated for 30 min with Benzonase (50 U/ml) at 4°C followed by centrifugation. Nuclear lysate was incubated with 50 µl anti-FLAG M2 magnetic agarose beads (Sigma M8823) overnight at 4°C, washed three times for 15 min in LB3, twice in ice-cold TBS (pH 8.0) and twice in 100 mM ammonium bicarbonate before being submitted for mass spectrometry analysis.

Synchronous population of 40,000 worms were harvested at 48 hours post hatching and suspended in the extraction buffer (50 mM HEPES pH7.5, 300 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 10% Glycerol, 0.25% NP40, protease inhibitor cocktails (Fermentas)) followed by 30 strokes using a metal dounce on ice. Crude protein extracts were spun at 12,000 rpm at 4°C for 10 minutes. Protein concentration was quantified by the Bradford assay, and 1 mg of protein extract was incubated with 15 μl of packed Anti-FLAG M2 Magnetic Agarose Beads (Sigma M8823) for 1 hour at 4°C. After four washes with extraction buffer, the immunoprecipitated protein was eluted twice with 100 μL of 3XFLAG peptide (Sigma F4799) for 30 minutes at 4°C. Next, the eluate was incubated with 750 μL of TRI Reagent (MRC, Inc.) to extract the immunoprecipitated RNAs. 750 μL of TRI Reagent (MRC, Inc.) was also added to 10% of protein extract before the immunoprecipitation (Input). The extracted RNAs were then analyzed by RT-qPCR to quantify mRNAs or used to clone small RNAs.

Worm Proteome Extraction and Co-IP

Synchronous population of 120,000 (for CSR-1, PRG-1 IPs) or 40,000 (for WAGO-1 IPs for mass spectrometry) worms were harvested at 48 hours post hatching and suspended in the extraction buffer (50 mM HEPES pH7.5, 300 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 10% Glycerol, 0.25% NP40, protease inhibitor cocktails (Fermentas)) followed by 30 strokes using a metal dounce on ice. Crude protein extracts were centrifuged at 12,000 rpm at 4°C for 10 minutes. Protein concentration was quantified by the Bradford assay, and 2 mg of protein extract was incubated with 15 μl of packed Anti-FLAG M2 Magnetic Agarose Beads (Sigma M8823) for 1 hour at 4°C. After four washes with the extraction buffer the beads were resuspended with 2X NuPAGE LDS Sample Buffer (thermofisher) for Co-IP experiments or washed twice with 100 μL of 25 mM NH4HCO3 for mass spectrometry. For the Co-IP experiments shown in Fig. 4b and Extended Data Fig. 4e the total protein extract from piwi mutant and control strains were normalized on the level of CSR-1 protein to avoid differences in the total germline proteins due to the reduced germline tissue in piwi mutant.

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.
