Rabbit gst antibody

YEATS domains in pGEX vectors were expressed in SoluBL21 cells (Amsbio) by induction with 1 mM IPTG at 16–18°C overnight with shaking. Cells were lysed by freeze-thaw and sonication then purified over glutathione agarose (Pierce) in a buffer containing 50 mM Tris pH 8.0, 500 mM NaCl, 20% glycerol (v/v) and 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT). Peptide pull-downs were performed essentially as described^{21 (link)} except that the assay buffer contained 50 mM Tris pH 8.0, 500 mM NaCl, and 0.1% NP-40, and 500 pmols of biotinylated histone peptides were loaded onto streptavidin coated magnetic beads before incubation with 40 pmols of protein. Bound proteins were detected with rabbit GST antibody (Sigma, G7781). Point mutants were generated by site-directed mutagenesis and purified/assayed as described above. The YEATS domains of Taf14, AF9, ENL, and GAS41 were previously described^{11 (link)}.
