Anti flag m2 agarose

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States, Germany

The Anti-FLAG M2 agarose is a laboratory reagent used for the purification and detection of proteins that have been tagged with the FLAG peptide sequence. It is a bead-based affinity matrix that binds to the FLAG tag with high specificity, allowing for the efficient capture and recovery of the targeted protein.

Immunoprecipitation from Yeast and Human Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunoprecipitation from yeast cells was carried out on extracts prepared by glass bead lysis. Immunoprecipitation was performed from human cell extracts generated as described below or from combining the Chromatin I and II fractions (described in cell fractionation) to form the Chromatin fraction. Typically, 1 mL extract at 1 mg/mL was incubated with 50 μL beads alone for 1 h at 4°C to pre-clear non-specific binding. GIGYF2 (A303-732) (Bethyl Laboratories Inc. Texas), proteasome (ab109530) (Abcam), HA (12CA5) or myc (9E10) antibodies were pre-incubated with protein A or G beads for 1 h at 4°C before incubation with the pre-cleared extract. M2 anti-flag agarose (Sigma-Aldrich 30410) was used for FLAG tagged purifications. 50 μL of antibody bound beads were rotated with the extracts for 3 h at 4°C. Unbound material was saved and the beads were either washed two times in their immunoprecipitation buffer, followed by once in high salt (500 mM) and then washed back into the applicable immunoprecipitation buffer. Beads were eluted by the addition of 2.5x SDS-loading buffer.

Open reading frames encoding kinetochore subunits were amplified from yeast genomic DNA and cloned into the pFL vector for insect cell expression. Generation of recombinant viruses expressing multiple subunits was performed according to the multi-Bac system (Trowitzsch et al., 2010 (link)). For expression and purification, insect cells were opened with a Dounce homogenizer in Lysis buffer (20 mM Na2HPO4/NaH2PO4, pH 7.0, 300 mM NaCl, and 1 mM EDTA) with Complete EDTA-free protease inhibitors (Roche). Cleared extracts were incubated with M2 anti-Flag agarose (Sigma-Aldrich) for 2 h, washed 3× with buffer, and eluted with 2 mg/ml 3×Flag peptide in Lysis buffer.
For purification of 6×His-tagged proteins, insect cells were lysed in 20 mM Na2HPO4/NaH2PO4, pH 7.0, 300 mM NaCl, 20 mM imidazole, 1 mM PMSF, and Complete protease inhibitors. Cleared extracts were incubated with Ni-NTA agarose (QIAGEN) for 2 h and washed three times, and proteins were eluted with 200 mM imidazole in Lysis buffer.

Protein extracts were prepared in lysis buffer as previously described (von Morgen et al, 2017 (link)). For IPs and pull-downs, 2.5 mg of the whole-cell extract was incubated for 2 h at 4°C with 15 μl of M2 anti-FLAG agarose (Sigma-Aldrich), GFP-Trap agarose (ChromoTek), or protein G agarose (Cell Signaling) bound with primary antibodies. Beads were pelleted and washed three times in 20x bed volume of the lysis buffer. For immunoprecipitation, bound proteins were eluted by boiling in 2x LSB (Laemmli sample buffer) for 5 min. Inputs represent 5% of the extracts used for IP.

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.
