Capturing ORF2p with anti-ORF2 beads from N2102Ep

Date: 1/22/20

Cell lines:

N2102Ep (Cell from Gerald, 50% of cells from a confluent T75 flask or cell powder prepared at RU)

HeLa (Cell from Gerald, 50% of cells from a confluent T75 flask): negative control

MT302: positive control

Scale:

3000ug cell extract of 2102Ep from Gerald with 20ul of anti-ORF2 beads*

  • Based on our previous result, 3000ug of total protein is similar to the scale of 100mg IP.

100mg IP of N2102Ep powder (record the amount of total protein per IP) with 20ul of anti-ORF2 beads

Extraction buffers: with protease inhibitors 1:100; RNasin 1:250 in extraction buffer and 1:1000 in wash buffer (RNasin was added to both extraction and wash buffer in Maria’s experiment).

• L1 buffer: 20mM HEPES, pH7.4, 1% Tritonx-100, 500mM NaCl

• NP40 buffer: 25mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150mM NaCl, 5mM MgCl2, 1mM DTT, 5 % glycerol, 1 % Nonidet® P-40

Resuspend each N2102Ep and HeLa pellet from Gerald in 400ul of NP40 buffer

100mg of N2102Ep powder in 400ul of L1 or NP40 extraction buffer; 50mg of MT302 powder in 200ul of L1 buffer

Sonicate @ 2 Amp for 5x 2sec

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

Collect the clarified lysate

Save 10ul for Western and Bradford assay (to determine protein concentration)

Use the rest to set up anti-ORF2 IP (20ul per IP except MT302)

3) N2102Ep_RU_L1

4) HeLa_Gerald_NP40

5) MT302_L1 (50mg IP with 5ul of beads)

IP @ 4°C for 1h

Save 10ul of the flow-through (“FT”)

After IP, wash 3x 1ml extraction buffer

Switch beads to fresh tubes at 2nd wash step

Elute beads with 10ul of 1.1x LDS @70°C for 5’

Collect the elution for Western

To all Western samples, add DTT to 50mM and heat @70°C for 10’

Run 15-well 4-12% Bis-Tris gel for Western
