Anti flag m2 affinity resin

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

The Anti-FLAG M2 affinity resin is a chromatography resin designed for the purification of proteins that have been engineered to contain a FLAG tag. The resin consists of an agarose support matrix with immobilized anti-FLAG M2 monoclonal antibody, which specifically binds to the FLAG peptide sequence. This resin can be used to capture and purify FLAG-tagged proteins from cell lysates, culture supernatants, or other sample types.

Confirming RAS-Ram1 Protein Interaction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To confirm the interaction between two RAS proteins and Ram1 in vivo, the coding regions for RAS1 or RAS2, respectively, were cloned into pKNRG, and the resulting constructs were pKNRG‐RAS1 and pKNRG‐RAS2. The coding region for Ram1 was cloned into pKNFLAG to gain the pKNFLAG‐Ram1. The pKNRG‐RAS1/pKNFLAG‐Ram1 and pKNRG‐RAS2/pKNFLAG‐Ram1 were co‐transformed into protoplasts of strain P131. To perform the Co‐IP assay, total proteins were extracted from the resulting transformants and then incubated with the anti‐FLAG M2 affinity resins (Sigma‐Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). Proteins eluted from the M2 resins were analysed by western blot with the anti‐FLAG and anti‐GFP antibodies (​Abmart, Xuhui, Shanghai, China).

Proteins bound to M2 resins were eluted after a series of washing steps as manufacture’s instruction. Western blots of total proteins and elution from M2 resins were detected with anti-FLAG (Sigma Aldrich) and anti-GFP (Abmart) antibodies using the ECL Supersignal system (Pierce, Rockford, IL). Similar methods were used to detect interactions of MoACT1-3xFLAG/ MoCAPA-GFP and MoACT1-3xFLAG/ MoCAPB-GFP.

To confirm the interactions of Ebg1 and EF1α in vivo, the genomic sequence of EBG1 was cloned into pGTN containing a GFP tag under its native promoter, while the genomic sequence of EF1α was cloned into pTH3Flag under its native promoter (Supplementary Table 3). The resulting constructs pGTN-EBG1 and pTH3Flag-EF1α were co-transformed into protoplasts of the wild-type strain P131.

Total proteins from culture filtrates (CM) of the transformant expressing both Ebg1-GFP and EF1α-3Flag were incubated, respectively, with anti-GFP affinity resins (Chromotek, gta-20) and anti-Flag M2 affinity resins (Sigma-Aldrich, F2426). Proteins bound to resins were eluted after a series of washing steps following the manufacturer’s instruction. The total proteins and elution from resins were detected by western blotting.
For western blotting detecting the presence of proteins, the following antibodes were used, anti-Actin (ABclonal, AC009, 1:2500), anti-Flag (Sigma, A8592, 1:5000), anti-HA (Sigma, H3663, 1:5000), anti-His (Abmart, 10E2, 1:5000), anti-p44/42 (Cell signaling, 9101, 1:2500), anti-GFP (Abclonal, AE012, 1:5000), anti-GST (EASYBIO, BE7012, 1:5000).

In brief, WT RACK1 or S278E RACK1 rescue cells were cultured in IMDM supplemented with 10% (v/v) FBS and 1X penicillin-streptomycin. Cells were grown to 80% confluency in 6 × 150mm plates before discarding media by aspiration and washed with ice cold PBS thereafter. After aspiration, the residual PBS was used to scrape the cells from the dishes and the collected cells were pelleted by centrifugation at 2500 × g for 5 min.

Cells were lysed using a Dounce homogenizer submerged in ice with ~60 continuous strokes. Lysates were clarified by centrifugation, and the supernatant was incubated with anti-FLAG M2 affinity resin (Sigma) for 1 hour at 4°C. Resin was washed thoroughly with IP buffer followed by several washes using the same buffer without detergent and glycerol. Ribosome complexes were recovered from the resin by competitive elution with synthetic 3×FLAG peptide (APExBIO) for 1 hour at 4°C with mild agitation. Eluted samples were immediately used for cryo-EM grid preparation.

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.
