Coimmunoprecipitation Assay Protocol

For coimmunoprecipitation, the cells were resuspended in lysis buffer (50mM HEPES pH7.5, 150mM NaCl, 2mM EDTA, 0.5% NP-40), supplemented with protease inhibitors (Halt Protease Inhibitor Mix, Thermo). An equal volume of acid-washed glass beads was added to the mixture, and samples were vortexed 5 for 2 min, then kept on ice for 5 mins in between. The crude extract was collected and cleared by centrifugation at maximum speed twice for 15 minutes at 4°C. An equal volume of the cleared lysate was mixed with Protein A or G-agarose beads depending on the primary antibody (Roche) pre-incubated with the antibody of interest. After the overnight incubation, the beads were washed twice with 1ml lysis buffer containing protease inhibitors, and the samples were eluted in 100 μl 6X Laemmli buffer containing 0.9% B-mercaptoethanol by boiling at 95°C for 5 minutes. Then, the samples were centrifuged to precipitate the beads, and the soluble part was used to run SDS-PAGE gels.

Protein-Protein Interaction Analysis by Nanoluciferase Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK 293T cells were cotransfected with RFP-target and Merlin-NLuc plasmids, lysed in 0.5 ml of 20 mM tris-Cl (pH 7.4), 0.15 M NaCl [tris-buffered saline (TBS)] and 2 mM MgCl2, 0.5% NP-40, 1× HALT protease inhibitor mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA), and 2.5 U benzonase (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). Lysates were diluted 1:2.5 with TBS (pH 7.4) and 0.05% Tween 20 (TBST), and then, NLuc activity was measured using Nano-Glo reagent (Promega, Madison, WI). RFP or GFP fusion proteins were immuno-precipitated using RFP-Trap_MA or GFP-Trap_MA (ChromoTek, Hauppauge, NY), recovered using a magnetic stand, and washed four times with TBST. The beads were transferred to the wells of a white 96-well plate. NLuc luciferase activity was measured on a FlexStation 3 (Molecular Devices, San Jose, CA). Immunoprecipitation-associated luciferase was normalized to the activity in the lysates. RFP-Trap_MA beads were recovered, rinsed in TBS, resuspended in 1× Instant-Bands loading dye (EZBiolab, Indianapolis, IN), boiled for 10 min, and run on a 4 to 20% tris-glycine SDS-PAGE gel.

Co-immunoprecipitation of HA-BCA3 Complexes

Co-immunoprecipitation was carried out as previously described [12 (link),17 (link)]. Briefly, HEK-293 cells were grown on 100 mm plates and transfected with HA-BCA3 or HA-Δ6BCA3. At 48 h post-transfection, the cells were washed with PBS and lysed in 500 µL CO-IP buffer B (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 1 mM MgCl2, 0.5% NP-40) containing Halt Protease Inhibitor Mix (Thermo Scientific) for 30 min on ice. One-fifth of the total cell lysate sample was used for Western blot analysis. The rest of the cell lysate was cleared by centrifugation and diluted with 1 mL CO-IP A buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 0.1 mM MgCl2). The primary antibody, monoclonal anti-PKA(C) or anti-HA, was added to the cell extract and incubated overnight at 4 °C. The next day, 20 µL Protein-A/G-Sepharose beads were added, and after 2 h incubation at 4 °C, the immunocomplexes were collected by centrifugation. The pellets were washed with CO-IP A buffer and PBS, and immunoprecipitated proteins were separated by SDS–PAGE, transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane, and detected by Western blot analysis.

Co-immunoprecipitation of Viral Proteases

Co-immunoprecipitation was carried out as previously described [54 (link)]. Briefly, HEK-293 or HeLa cells were grown on 60 mm plates and co-transfected with HA-BCA3, c-myc-M-PMV PR17(D26N), c-myc M-PMV PR12(D26N) or c-myc-HIV-1 PR(D25N). After 48 h, the cells were washed 1× with PBS and lysed in 300 μl CO-IP buffer B (20 mM Tris–HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 0.1 mM MgCl2, 0.5% NP-40) containing Halt Protease Inhibitor Mix (Thermo Scientific) for 30 min on ice. A 1/5 of the total cell lysate sample was used for Western blot analysis. The rest of the cell lysate was cleared by centrifugation and diluted with 1 200 μl CO-IP A buffer (20 mM Tris–HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 0.1 mM MgCl2). Primary antibody [monoclonal anti-c-myc (Santa-Cruz), rabbit anti-c-myc or EZview Red Anti-HA Affinity Gel (Sigma)] was added to the cell extract and incubated overnight at 4°C. Optionally, 20 μl Protein-A/G-Sepharose beads were added, and after 2 h incubation at 4°C, the immunoprecipitates were collected by centrifugation. The pellets were washed 3× with CO-IP buffer and then 1× with PBS. Proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE and analyzed by 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.
