Anti flag antibody conjugated m2 agarose

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

The Anti-FLAG antibody-conjugated M2 agarose is a laboratory product used for the purification and detection of proteins tagged with the FLAG peptide sequence. It consists of an agarose resin with immobilized anti-FLAG monoclonal antibodies, which bind to the FLAG tag on the target protein, allowing for its isolation and enrichment from complex samples.

The epitope-tagging strategy to isolate iASPP or CEP55-containing protein complexes from human cells was performed essentially as previously described with some modifications44. In brief, to obtain a FLAG-HA-iASPP (or CEP55) expressing cell line, HeLa cells were transfected with pCIN4-FLAG-HA-iASPP (or CEP55) constructs and selected for 2 weeks in 1 mg/ml G418. The tagged iASPP protein levels were detected by WB analyses. The stable cell lines were chosen to expand for protein complex purification. For purification, the cells were lysed in BC100 buffer (20 mM Tris-Cl, pH 7.9, 100 mM NaCl, 0.2 mM EDTA, 20% glycerol) containing 0.2% Triton X-100 and fresh protease inhibitor on ice for 2 h. The homogenate was centrifuged for 30 min at 12,000 rpm at 4 °C. Cleared lysates were filtered through 0.45 μM spin filters (Millipore) and immunoprecipitated by anti-FLAG antibody-conjugated M2 agarose (Sigma). The bound polypeptides eluted with the FLAG peptide (Sigma) were further affinity purified by anti-HA antibody-conjugated agarose (Sigma). The final elutes from the HA-beads with HA peptides were resolved by SDS-PAGE on a 4–20% gradient gel (Bio-Rad) for Coomassie Blue staining. Gel bands were cut out from the gel and subjected to mass-spectrometric sequencing.

The epitope-tagging strategy to isolate GLI1-containing protein complexes from human cells was performed essentially as described previously55 (link). HEK293 cells infected with HA-FLAG-Gli1 recombinant retrovirus were grown in 293SFM medium and harvested at near confluency (~1 × 109 cells). The cells were separated into cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions. Cytoplasmic fraction was dialysed for 5 h in a buffer consisting of 20 mM Hepes–KOH (pH 7.9), 20% glycerol, 0.1 M KCl, 0.2 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM PMSF, and 0.5 mM DTT. The lysate was centrifuged at 15,000×g for 15 min at 4 °C. The supernatants were immunoprecipitated with anti-FLAG antibody-conjugated M2 agarose (400 μl; Sigma-Aldrich). Bound proteins eluted 0.4 mg ml−1 FLAG peptide (Sigma-Aldrich) were further affinity purified using 20 μl anti-HA antibody-conjugated agarose (Roche Diagnostics). The final elutes from HA beads eluted with 2.5 mg ml−1 HA peptide (Roche Diagnostics) were separated by SDS–PAGE on a 5–20% gradient gel for silver staining analysis. Specific bands were excised from the gel and subjected to peptide sequencing by mass spectrometry using a 4700 proteomics analyser (AB SciEx). Data were analysed by the Mascot search engine (Matrix Science).

Cellular ID2 complexes were purified from the cell line NCI-H1299 stably engineered to express FLAG-HA-ID2. Cellular lysates were prepared in 50 mM Tris-HCl, 250 mM NaCl, 0.2% NP40, 1 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol, protease and phosphatase inhibitors. FLAG-HA-ID2 immunoprecipitates were recovered first with anti-FLAG antibody-conjugated M2 agarose (Sigma) and washed with lysis buffer containing 300 mM NaCl and 0.3% NP40. Bound polypeptides were eluted with FLAG peptide and further affinity purified by anti-HA antibody-conjugated agarose (Roche). The eluates from the HA beads were analyzed directly on long gradient reverse phase LC-MS/MS. A specificity score of proteins interacting with ID2 was computed for each polypeptide by comparing the number of peptides identified from our mass spectrometry analysis to those reported in the CRAPome database that includes a list of potential contaminants from affinity purification-mass spectrometry experiments (www.crapome.org). The specificity score is computed as [(#peptide*#xcorr)/(AveSC*MaxSC* # of Expt.)], #peptide, identified peptide count; #xcorr, the cross-correlation score for all candidate peptides queried from the database; AveSC, averaged spectral counts from CRAPome; MaxSC, maximal spectral counts from CRAPome; and # of Expt., the total found number of experiments from CRAPome.

HeLa cells were transfected with pCIN4-Flag-HA-Borealin constructs and selected for 3 weeks in 1.5 mg/mL G418. The tagged Borealin protein levels were detected by western blot. The stable cell lines that express Flag-HA-Borealin were chosen to expand. For protein complex purification, the HeLa/Borealin cells were lysed in BC100 buffer (20 mM Tris-Cl, pH 7.5, 20% glycerol, 100 mM NaCl, and 0.2 mM EDTA) containing 0.1% Triton X-100 and protease inhibitor on ice for 4 h. After centrifugation for 40 min with 12500 rpm at 4°C, the supernatant of the cell lysates was immunoprecipitated by anti-Flag antibody-conjugated M2 agarose (Sigma). After washing three times with the BC100 buffer to remove the unbounded protein, immunoprecipitated by anti-HA antibody-conjugated M2 agarose (Sigma), the bound polypeptides were eluted with peptide and resolved by SDS-PAGE for Coomassie Blue staining. Gel lanes (strips) were subjected to mass spectrometric sequencing.

HeLa cells grown in 150-mm dishes (Corning, United Kingdom) were infected with S. Typhimurium for 14 h. Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)-washed cells were scraped with a rubber policeman, centrifuged for 5 min at 100 × g, and resuspended in 500 µl of lysis buffer (PBS–5% glycerol–0.5% Triton X-100–1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride [PMSF]) for 30 min at 4°C. Lysates were centrifuged for 10 min at 16,000 × g to remove debris before being precleaned with 20 µl of protein G agarose for 1 h (Pierce). The precleaned lysate was mixed with 40 µl of anti-HA antibody-conjugated agarose (Pierce) or anti-Flag antibody-conjugated M2 agarose (Sigma) and incubated at 4°C for 2 h to immunoprecipitate HA-tagged SseF or Flag-tagged SseG. The immunoprecipitates were washed 4 times with lysis buffer and then eluted with 50 µl of 2 mg/ml HA peptide or 0.1 mg/ml Flag peptide. Sample proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and analyzed by immunoblotting with appropriate antibodies.

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.
