Recombinant soluble TMEM2 ECD (TMEM2–ECD), tagged at the C terminus with a 6× His epitope, was produced in HEK293 cells, as described previously (25 (link)). TMEM2–ECD was bound to ProBond nickel chelating resin (approximately 5 μg protein/20 μl resin; Thermo Fisher) by incubation for 2 h at 4 °C, and the resin was washed with HBSS++. Two micrograms of recombinant heterodimer of integrin ECD (α5β1; R&D Systems: 3230-A5-050; αLβ2; R&D Systems: 3868-AV-050) were applied to the TMEM2–ECD–bound and control unbound resin and incubated in HBSS++ overnight at 4 °C. After extensive washing, bound materials were eluted by boiling in SDS-PAGE sample buffer, and eluents were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting with rabbit polyclonal anti-integrin α5 (Proteintech; 10569-1-AP), rabbit monoclonal anti-integrin β1 (Abcam; ab52971), rabbit polyclonal anti-integrin β2 (Proteintech; 10544-1-AP), or mouse monoclonal anti-polyhistidine (Sigma; A7058; clone: HIS-1, peroxidase conjugated).

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.
