Affinity purification of Protein A-tagged bait proteins was carried out as described in (23 (link)). Frozen cell grindate was rapidly thawed into TBT150 buffer with 1 mM Dithiothreitol (DTT). The resulting lysate was vortexed for 1 min, polytroned for 30 s and then cleared by centrifugation at 2600 g for 5 min at 4°C. Magnetic beads (Dynabeads M-270, Invitrogen), conjugated with rabbit IgG Ab (Sigma), were washed three times with TBT150 + DTT and added to the cleared cell lysate at a concentration of 3.75 mg (25 μl slurry)/0.5 g of cell grindate. The samples were rotated for 30 min at 4°C. After binding, the beads were magnetically harvested and then quickly washed three times with 10ml of TBT150 + DTT, and finally once with 10ml of LWB while vortexing at very low speed for 5 min.
