Checking new MT302 powder

Date: 08/27/21

Cell lines:

MT302 Puro selected (4/9/2013)

MT302 Dox 24-hour induction (8/26/21)

Extraction: 20mM HEPES, pH7.4, 1% Tritonx-100, 500mM NaCl (with protease inhibitors)

Scale:50mg per IP reaction with anti-FLAG or anti-ORF1 beads

Weigh out 100mg of MT302 old or new powder, add 400ul of extraction buffer to each tube (1:4 w/v), vortex to mix

Sonicate 5 x 2 sec at 2 Amp;

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

Save 5ul of clarified lysate (Input, in case for Western)

Split the rest into 2 equal parts and set up 2x 50mg IP reactions with 5ul anti-FLAG or anti-ORF1 beads

IP @ 4°C for 30’

After IP, save flow-through (FT, in case for Western)

wash 3x 1ml extraction buffer

Switch beads to fresh tubes at 2nd wash step

Elute the beads with 10ul of 1.1x LDS, 70 °C for 5’ with mixing

Save 1ul aside (E, in case for Western)

Add DTT to 50mM to all samples

Heat the samples @70°C for 10’

Run 4-12% Bis-Tris gel to analyze the elution

1) Marker

2) E-MT302 (old) anti-FLAG

3) E-MT302 (new) anti-FLAG

4) E-MT302 (old) anti-ORF1

5) E-MT302 (new) anti-ORF1

6) BSA_50ng

7) BSA_150ng

Western analysis

Load the Input (2ul), FT (2ul) and elution (1ul, 10% of total) on a 15-well 4-12% Bis-Tris gel

1) Marker

2) Input-MT302 (old)

3) FT-MT302 (old)_anti-FLAG

4) FT-MT302 (old)_anti-ORF1

5) E-MT302 (old)_anti-FLAG

6) E-MT302 (old)_anti-ORF1

7) Marker

8) Input-MT302 (new)

9) FT-MT302 (new)_anti-FLAG

10) FT-MT302 (new)_anti-ORF1

11) E-MT302 (new)_anti-FLAG

12) E-MT302 (new)_anti-ORF1

13) Marker

Wet transfer 70V for 1.5h

Blocking: TBST/5% milk, RT for 2hrs

Cut the membrane in half, between 75 and 50KD, use the two for anti-ORF2 and bottom for anti-ORF1

Upper panel: Anti-ORF2 Western

Primary Ab: Rabbit anti-ORF2 antibody (Clone 5-5, 1.03mg/ml), 1:500, 4°C, overnight

Secondary Ab: ECL anti-rabbit HRP 1:10,000, RT, 1hr

Lower panel: Anti-ORF1 Western (Abmart, 2mg/ml)

Primary Ab: Mouse anti-ORF1 antibody, 1:5,000, 4°C, overnight

Secondary Ab: ECL anti-mouse HRP 1:10,000, RT 1hr

10 sec exposure, high sensitivity, auto tone

Strip the top panel of the membrane and reprobe it with anti-FLAG antibody

Anti-FLAG Western

Primary Ab: Mouse anti-ORF2 antibody (Sigma F3165, 4mg/ml) 1:2000, RT 1.5hr Secondary Ab: ECL anti-moudrHRP 1:10,000, RT, 1hr

1 min exposure, high sensitivity, auto tone
