Nucleotide Exchange of K-RAS and Mutants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
K-RAS and its oncogenic mutants at a concentration of 100 μM were incubated in buffer D supplemented with 10 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and either 2 mM GTP (guanosine 5′-triphosphate, Sigma-Aldrich) or dGTP (2′-deoxyguanosine 5′-triphosphate, Sigma-Aldrich) for 2 h at 4 °C. The nucleotide exchange reaction mixture was then supplemented with 10 mM magnesium chloride and incubated for an additional 1 h at 4 °C. Excess nucleotide was removed using a centrifugal buffer exchange device (Micro Bio-Spin 6 Column, Bio-Rad). To fully exchange GDP with GTP, this procedure was repeated once more. The nucleotide-exchanged sample was then supplemented with either GTP or dGTP at a final concentration of 2 mM, added to a Slide-A-Lyzer MINI device (2000 Da MWCO, Thermo), and dialyzed against 200 mM ammonium acetate overnight at 4 °C.

This was performed as described previously28 (link) with minor modifications. Briefly, cells synchronized and enriched in mitotis were lysed at 4°C in 100 mM 1,4-piperazinediethanesulfonic acid (PIPES), at pH 6.8, 1 mM MgCl2, 2 mM ethylene glycol tetra acetic acid (EGTA) and 1% Triton X-100, and spun at 13 000 × g for 30 min. To the supernatant thus obtained, purified tubulin (Cytoskeleton, Denver, CO, USA; 4 μg), dithiothreitol (1 mM), guanosine-5′-triphosphate (GTP; 1 mM) and taxol (Sigma-Aldrich) (10 μM) were added to cleared lysates, and incubated for 1 h at 37°C. Nocodazole (100 μM) was added as a negative control. Lysates were layered over a 20% sucrose cushion in the above buffer and spun at 48 000 r.p.m. for 1 h at room temperature (rotor TLA 120.1, Beckman Coulter). Microtubule pellets were collected after removing lysate and cushion, bound proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and analyzed by western blotting.

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.
