HEK293T cells expressing FLAG tagged RHEB -WT, −T38A, -Y35N, -D60I, and KRAS-G12V were immunoprecipitated using anti-FLAG M2 magnetic beads (Sigma). Briefly, the cells were lysed with lysis buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.4% CHAPS, 1X Complete EDTA-free protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche), 1 mM Na3VO4), 150 mM NaCl, 25 mM MgCl2), and the supernatant was cleared of cellular debris using centrifugation (16,000×g for 10 min). Cleared supernatant was mixed with anti-FLAG M2 magnetic beads (Sigma) for affinity purification. The beads were collected, washed four times with lysis buffer. The remaining bound proteins were eluted three times with lysis buffer containing 62 μg/mL of 3X FLAG peptide. Eluted proteins were concentrated using Amicon Ultra 0.5-ml centrifugal filters NMWL 10 K (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA).

Cells were collected from 10 ml of overnight LB cultures containing 50 μM Mn and were lysed by 1 ml of lysis buffer (Tris-HCl, 50 mM EDTA, 1 mg/ml lysozyme) incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes. The samples were sonicated for 5 minutes and incubated with 10 U/ml DNase at 37°C for 30 minutes. 1% Triton X-100 was added, and then samples were incubated on ice for 2 hours before adding anti-FLAG M2 magnetic beads (Sigma). Co-IP samples were prepared as described in the protocol of the anti-FLAG M2 magnetic beads (Millipore Sigma). Samples were end-over-end rotated with anti-FLAG M2 magnetic beads at 30°C for 3 hours and then placed on a magnetic stand. Supernatants were discarded and the samples were washed three times with PBS buffer at 30 °C for 10 min. Samples were eluted be either heating at 95°C for 10 minutes or treatment with glycine (pH 3) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Proteins in the samples were checked by immunoblot and were identified by LC-MS/MS (Cornell Proteomics and Metabolomics Facility). Only proteins with at least 2 peptides were considered as positive identifications. Table 1 summarizes all membrane-localized proteins from three experiments.

The protocol for the pulldown of FLAG-tagged proteins was modified and performed using anti-FLAG M2 magnetic beads (Sigma-Aldrich Inc., St. Louis, MO, USA) as previously described by M. J. Amorim et al. (24 (link)). Confluent 6-well dishes of MDCK cells were transfected with 500 ng of pHW2000-FLAG-GFP-NP.

All samples were collected and lysed at 8 h p.i. in 500 μl of a solution containing 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, and a protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche Life Science, Switzerland) on ice for 30 min. Cell lysates were precleared with mouse IgG agarose, and the supernatant was bound to mouse anti-FLAG M2 magnetic beads on ice for 2 h. Beads were washed before and after sample binding with a wash buffer containing 50 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 1 mM EDTA, 0.5% NP-40, and 10% glycerol (Sigma-Aldrich Inc., St. Louis, MO, USA). Bound proteins were eluted by being boiled in SDS-PAGE sample buffer. Western blotting was performed and imaged as described above.

Eluted proteins were concentrated with TCA precipitation, resolved on SDS-PAGE, and recovered for mass spectrometry analysis. To verify the mass spectrometry results, Neurospora mats were cut into discs and transferred to flasks with minimal medium (1× Vogel's, 2% glucose). After growing for 24 h at room temperature, the tissues were briefly cross-linked with formaldehyde (1% final concentration) for 15 min, stopped with 125 mM glycine, washed with 1× PBS, and harvested. Protein extraction and quantification, Western blot analysis, and immunoprecipitation assays were performed as described previously (Cheng et al. 2001 (link)). Lysates (2 mg) were incubated overnight with anti-Flag M2 magnetic beads (Sigma) and washed six times with wash buffer (same as lysis buffer except with 500 mM NaCl), and the elute proteins were analyzed with Western blot.

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.
