Glutathione agarose resin

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

Glutathione agarose resin is a chromatography medium used for the purification of proteins that contain a glutathione-S-transferase (GST) tag. It consists of glutathione, a tripeptide, covalently coupled to agarose beads. This resin can be used to selectively bind and capture GST-tagged proteins from complex mixtures, allowing for their subsequent isolation and purification.

Protein G dynabeads™ (ThermoFisher, 10004D) were mixed with the corresponding antibody overnight at 4°C. For Co-IP assays, cells were incubated in NP40 lysis buffer (Beyotime, P0013F) containing PMSF (Beyotime, ST506-2). The following day cell lysates containing the antigen was added to the Protein G mixture. The bead-Ab-Ag complexes were washed five times by gentle pipetting and subjected to immunoblotting. For the pull-down assays, His-labeled VP1, VP2, and VP3, pGEX-6P-1, and GST-TMEM39A were expressed in E.coli BL21 strain. GST alone or GST-TMEM39A protein was mixed with the glutathione agarose resin (Thermo Fisher, 21516) and incubated overnight at 4°C. The following day, His-labeled proteins were added separately to the above mixture. After conjugation, the unbound proteins were washed away and subjected to immunoblotting.

Peptide identity was validated by mass spectrometry with positive electrospray ionization (Waters Q-Tof Premier). Samples were diluted 1:2 or 1:4 in water/acetonitrile (1:1) with 0.1% formic acid. Acquisition and deconvolution software used during data collection and analysis were MassLynx and MaxEnt, respectively. 15N-H4 (1-25) peptide concentration was determined by UV-vis spectroscopy using the non-native C-terminal tyrosine.

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.
