Flag m2 affinity resin

Manufactured by Merck Group

The FLAG M2 affinity resin is a laboratory product designed for the purification of proteins that have been engineered to contain a specific FLAG tag sequence. The resin is composed of an agarose matrix with covalently coupled anti-FLAG monoclonal antibodies, which enable the selective capture and isolation of FLAG-tagged proteins from complex mixtures. This product is intended for use in various protein research and development applications requiring the purification of tagged proteins.

To purify FLAG-tagged Polη (Polη-FLAG), 4 liters of yeast cells cultured in YEPR were grown to OD600 1.8. Benomyl (final 80 μg/ml) was added and when cells reached G2/M, two liters of cells were harvested as the “minus break” sample. Galactose (final 2%) was added to the remainder to induce DSBs by PGAL-HO on chromosome III, and chromosome VI with an ectopic integrated HO site. The remaining cells were collected as the “plus break” sample after 90 min. Cell pellets were then frozen with liquid nitrogen and stored at −80° until preparation of whole-cell extracts. Thawed pellets were resuspended in lysis buffer (25 mM HEPES-NaOH pH 7.9, 400 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, 0.1% Triton X-100, 1 mM DTT, 1 mM PMSF, 10 mM sodium butyrate, protease inhibitor cocktail, and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail) and lysed in a 6870 freezer mill (SPEX, CertiPrep). Whole-cell extracts were cleared by centrifugation at 17,000 g for 30 min. The soluble fraction was incubated with equilibrated M2-FLAG affinity resin (Sigma) at 4° , and rotated overnight to immunoprecipitate Polη-FLAG. The M2-FLAG affinity resin was then washed once with lysis buffer and Polη-FLAG was eluted through 3XFLAG peptide (Sigma) competition. Eluates were precipitated with TCA, resuspended in 8 M urea, and run on SDS-PAGE, followed by Coomassie staining before gel purification and nLC-MS/MS analysis.

Ribosome Ubiquitination During ER Stress

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To assess ribosome ubiquitination during ER stress, ribosomes were purified with Myc-tagged ubiquitin (Myc-Ubi) and the FLAG-tagged ribosomal protein uL23 (uL23-FLAG), as described previously22 (link). Yeast cells harbouring pCUP1p-MYC-UBI and pRPL25(uL23)-FLAG were cultured in 800 mL of synthetic complete medium. To induce the expression of Myc-Ubi, the cells were cultured in the presence of 0.1 mM Cu2+ for 1 h, followed by the addition of Tm to a concentration of 1 µg/mL and harvesting at the indicated time points. Cell lysates were prepared, and FLAG-tagged ribosomes were purified using M2 FLAG-affinity resin (Sigma), as described previously22 (link). Affinity purified samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE followed by staining with Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) or western blotting with an anti-Myc antibody.

A yeast strain (see Supplementary Table 2) overexpressing Hel2-FLAG was grown in synthetic dropout media. Cells were harvested by centrifugation and subsequently disrupted by cryogenic milling (SPEX SamplePrep 6970EFM Freezer/Mill).

The supernatant was purified using M2 FLAG affinity resin (Sigma-Aldrich, #A2220). During the washing steps, the salt concentration was decreased from 500 mM NaCl to 100 mM NaCl in 100 mM steps. Hel2-FLAG was eluted by incubation of the resin with 3x FLAG peptide in elution buffer (50 mM HEPES, 100 mM KOAc, 5 mM Mg(OAc)2, 1 mM DTT, 0.05% Nikkol).

For analysis of the RQT-mRNA interaction, 4-thiouridine (4SU)-containing mRNA was generated by addition of 7.5 mM 4SU to the in vitro transcription reaction. 8 pmol of ubiquitinated RNCs (stalled on CGN12 or CGN12-4SU mRNA) were incubated with a 10x molar excess of purified RQT complex at room temperature for 5 min. After crosslinking with UVA, samples were affinity-purified using M2 FLAG affinity resin (Sigma-Aldrich, #A2220). Binding of Slh1-ribosome complexes to the beads was performed in binding buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 200 mM KOAc, 100 mM arginine, 125 mM sucrose, 1 mM PMSF) at 4 °C for 1 h. After two washing steps with binding buffer, again two washing steps with either 4 mM ATP or 5 mM EDTA were performed. Samples were eluted by addition 3xFLAG peptide in elution buffer (50 mM HEPES, 100 mM KOAc, 62.5 mm sucrose, 1 mM DTT). To remove remaining protein, samples were treated with proteinase K in ProtK buffer (100 mm Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 50 mm NaCl, 10 mM EDTA pH 8) at 37 °C for 20 min at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. Subsequently, equal volume of ProtK buffer containing 7 M urea was added for further incubation at 37 °C for 20 min. After addition of TRI reagent (Zymo Research #R2051), RNA was extracted using a Direct-zol Mini Prep kit (Zymo Research #R2051).

Affinity purified samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE followed by western blotting with an anti-Myc antibody. The sections of the gels corresponding to the bands detected by western blotting were isolated and analyzed by mass spectrometry57 (link).

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.
