Agarose beads

Manufactured by Roche
Sourced in United States

Agarose beads are a type of gel-based separation media commonly used in laboratory applications. They are made from agarose, a polysaccharide derived from red seaweed, and are designed to facilitate the separation and purification of various biomolecules, such as proteins, DNA, and RNA. The beads provide a porous matrix that allows for efficient size-based separation and purification of target molecules.

Protein Extraction and Immunoprecipitation Protocol

For protein extraction, 5 × 105 cells per well were plated onto six-well plates and transiently transfected with indicated expression plasmids. At 48 h after transfection, cells were incubated with or without the proteasome inhibitor MG132 (10 μM) for an additional 6 h before protein extraction and western blot analysis. Primary antibodies against Flag (M2, 1:1,000) and HA (3F10, 1:4,000) were used for protein detection. For IP, HEK293 cells transfected with the indicated expression plasmids were lysed in buffer (50 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 5 μg ml−1 aprotinin, 1 μg ml−1 pepstatin, 1% Nonidet P-40, 1 mM EDTA and 0.25% deoxycholate). Total cell lysates (1,000 μl) were incubated overnight with 1 μg of anti-HA or anti-Flag antibody conjugated to agarose beads (Roche Molecular Biochemicals) at 4 °C. The beads were then washed with lysis buffer, and the immunoprecipitated protein complexes were resolved by 10% SDS–PAGE. Some important original immunoblotting results are shown in Supplementary Fig. 9.

HEK293T cells were cultured in a 10-cm plate and transfected with the indicated plasmids for 48–72 h. Cells were then collected and lysed in immunoprecipitation (IP) buffer (1 M Tris, 0.5 M EDTA, 5 M NaCl, 100% glycerol, 100% Np40) and treated with antibodies at 4°C overnight. The lysis was then incubated with agarose beads (Roche, Indianapolis, IN, USA) for 4–6 h at 4°C. IP samples were separated by 8%–10% SDS-PAGE gels, and protein bands were detected by the chemiluminescent substrate.

HeLa cells or mouse livers were lysed, centrifuged, and pre-cleared with protein G agarose beads (Roche). Supernatants were collected and 1 μg of antibody was added. After overnight incubation, 30 μl of 50% slurry of protein-G agarose beads were added, and the samples incubated at 4 °C for 2 hr. The agarose beads were pelleted by centrifugation, washed three times with ice-cold washing buffer (20 mM HEPES [pH 7.4], 0.1% NP-40, 150 mM NaCl, 0.25% sodium deoxycholic acid, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM PMSF, 1 μM TSA, 10 mM NAM, and protease inhibitor cocktail [Roche]), resuspended in electrophoresis sample buffer (0.09 M Tris-Cl [pH 6.8], 20% glycerol, 2% SDS, 0.1 M DTT, and 0.02% bromophenol blue), boiled for 5 min, and subjected to electrophoresis, and immunoblotting.

Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assays were performed as described previously44 (link),45 (link) with a modified protocol using NETN buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol, 0.5% NP40) containing Protease Inhibitor cocktail (Roche #11836170001) and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Roche #4906845001) to extract whole-cell protein, or a cell fractionation protocol for cytoplasmic and nuclear fractionation using NE-PER™ Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Extraction Reagents (ThermoFisher Scientific #78833). Cell lysates were incubated with the indicated antibodies at 4 °C overnight. The protein complex was captured using protein A-agarose or protein G-agarose beads (Roche, Indianapolis, IN, USA) at 4 °C for 4 h, and agarose beads were collected by centrifuge and washed three times with washing buffer. The precipitated proteins were mixed with 1× Blue Loading Buffer along with 3 mM dithiothreitol (Cell Signaling Technology #7722) and subjected to western blot analysis. The following primary antibodies were used for Co-IP: BRD4 (Cell Signaling, Cat#13440, RRID: AB_2687578), HA-tag (Cell Signaling, Cat# 5017, RRID: AB_10693385), Flag-tag (Sigma-Aldrich, Cat#F1804, RRID:AB_262044), and STAT3 (Cell Signaling, Cat#9139, RRID:AB_331757).

RUNX1 was immunoprecipitated from cell lysates using anti-RUNX1 antibody (Active Motif, cat #39000,) and protein-A Agarose beads (Roche Applied Science) as follows: cell lysates were mixed with protein A Agarose beads and 2 μg RUNX1 antibody in IP buffer I (50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.5% NP40, 0.25% sodium deoxycholate) and rotated at 10 rpm for 5 h. Agarose beads were washed twice with IP Buffer I followed by washing with IP buffer II (50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 0.1% NP40, 0.05% sodium deoxycholate). All lysis, immunoprecipitation, and washing steps included DMSO/corresponding inhibitor (10 μM).

The eluted protein was resolved in a 12% polyacrylamide gel. CBFβ was detected using anti-CBFβ antibody (provided by Nancy A. Speck). The membrane was re-probed with anti-RUNX1 antibody and detected using Clean-Blot IP Detection Reagents (Thermo Scientific). Relative band intensities were quantified using ImageJ software.

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.
