PRKACA- Test IP/Western

Date: 13/03/2021

Progenitor protocol: https://www.jove.com/video/54518/protein-complex-affinity-capture-from-cryomilled-mammalian-cells

Sample: FLC-PDX

Scale, 100mg with 7ul of anti-PRKACA beads

Extraction/wash buffers: 3) 20mM HEPES, pH7.4, 1% (v/v) Tritonx-100, 500mM NaCl

Extraction buffers supplemented with 100x protease inhibitors, Roche, Cat # 11873580001

Extraction:

3x 100mg of FLC tumor and 3x 100mg of matched normal tissue

Allow powder to sit at RT for 1 minute before adding buffer

Add 400ul of RT extraction buffer (with protease inhibitor) to each sample

Sonicate @ 4AMP for 5x2 seconds; energy output ~15J

Spin @ 20k rcf, 4°C for 10’ (Eppendorf Centrifuge 5424R)

Save the pellets for extraction and 10% of supernatant (“Input”) for Western

During the spin prepare the beads: Place tubes on magnet; add 1ml of wash buffer to each tube

Add 7ul of bead slurry to each tube; vortex beads very well before beginning and before each addition Wash 2x more 1ml per wash

Add the lysate (~440 ul) to the equilibrated beads

IP@ 4°C for 30’

Spin and collect 10% of unbound fraction aka flowthrough for Western (“FT”)

Wash 3x 1ml cold extraction buffer (transfer the beads to fresh tubes during 2nd wash)

Spin beads very briefly after 3rd wash to remove last ul of wash buffer

Elute with 28ul of 1.1xLDS @70°C for 5’ with agitation (e.g. on thermo mixer, 1000rpm), save 10% (2.8ul) of the elution for Western (”E”)

Save all fractions at -20C for gels

All samples to be combined with 50 mM DTT (1x), heated @ 70°C for 10’ with then cooled and spun before loading.
