1. XL-MS on LD401 using S-trap_25 Sept 2020

Completed in “RNA style” using nuclease-free reagents

Extraction buffer: 20mM HEPES, pH7.4, 1% Triton X-100, 500mM NaCl + P.I., + RNase Inhibitor @ 1:250

Wash buffer: 20mM HEPES, pH7.4, 1% Triton X-100, 500mM NaCl + P.I., + RNase Inhibitor @ 1:1000

Scale: 1600mg (8 x 200mg)

  • 100mg of powder yields ~500ng of total protein via native elution
  • 1600mg – 100mg for gel analysis = 1500mg of powder => 7.5ug of protein

PART 1 - IPs and Crosslinking

1. Weigh out 8 x 200mg of powder, add 800ul of extraction buffer per tube in safe-lock 2mL tubes.

2. Sonicate 5x2 sec @ 4 Amp and then repeat a second time (20 total sec, total J will be 25-30)

3. Spin @ 20k rcf, 4°C for 10’ (Eppendorf Centrifuge 5417R)

4. Combine clarified lysate from each of the tubes and then split evenly into 8 tubes, save 10ul aside for WB

5. Use the rest to set up 8X 200mg anti-FLAG IPs (using 10ul anti-FLAG beads per 100mg; 20ul beads for 200mg IP; this is based on Hua's recent titration of beads with this cell line 07/10/19 - LD401_anti-FLAG and anti-ORF1 beads titration)

6. Incubate @ 4°C for 30’

7. Prepare 1mg/ml 3x Flag peptide working sol'n: dilute 5mg/ml stock 1:5 in extraction buffer (20mM HEPES, pH7.4, 500mM NaCl, 1% Tritonx-100 + PI + RNAsin)

8. After IP, wash beads with 2x 1ml extraction buffer Transfer beads to new 2ml Eppendorf tube after 2nd wash

9. Wash beads once more with 1ml extraction buffer

10. Add 50ul of 1mg/mL 3xFLAG to each tube containing anti-FLAG beads (50ul per 200mg IP)

11. Incubate @ RT for 15' with shaking.

12. Transfer the elution to a fresh tube. Save the beads in one tube and put them at -20. These will be eluted a second time with 50 ul 1.1X LDS, but this can be done at the end.

13. Split the 3x FLAG elution into two aliquots: Save 1/16 (25uL, 100mg) of the 3x FLAG elution, this will be the “Input” fraction

The other 15/16 (375uL, 1500mg goes to anti-ORF1 tandem IP using 75uL anti-ORF1 beads (5ul anti-ORF1 beads per 100mg IP) split across 6 tubes (+/- 60-65ul 3xFLAG elution and 12.5uL beads per tube)

14. Incubate 3x FLAG elution with anti-ORF1 beads @ RT for 15’ with mixing

15. Save the supernatant after IP; this will be the “Sup” or “FT”

16. Wash the beads in each tube with 1x 1ml of wash buffer

17. Elute in 10uL ORF1 di-peptide diluted with extraction buffer to ~1mM (with protease inhibitors [no EDTA]) (P194712 (see spec sheet) in 50mM HEPES, pH7.4, 500mM NaCl and 0.01% Triton)

18. Incubate @ RT for 15’ with mixing

19. Pool the elution and put on ice

20. Repeat elution step with 5uL buffer and add to the pooled elutions from the previous step this will be “E” fraction. Put 1 ul aside from each tube for WB analysis

21. Add the cross-linker at 2.5mM [Final] to the Elution and gently agitate the tubes in a thermal mixer at 750 rpm, 23°C for 25-30 min to cross-link the affinity isolated complexes

22. After cross-linking, quench the reaction by adding 50mM (final) Tris-HCl pH 7.5

23. Dry down in speed vac.
