March 30, 2021 - MT289, N2102Ep Tandem PO with S9.6 beads

Hua31st March 2021 at 2:34pm

MT289 and N2102Ep Tandem IP using anti-ORF1 and anti-DNA-RNA hybrid Protein G beads (S9.6)

Reference 06/05/18 - Orf2 (MT302) Tandem IP using anti-FLAG and S9.6 beads

Date: 03/30/21

Scale: 25mg with 5ul anti-ORF1 Epoxy beads (1st IP) and 2.5ul of S9.6 Protein G beads or 2.5ul of mouse IgG Protein G control beads (2nd IP)

Cell lines: MT289 (02/05/14): L1 expressor without FLAG tag and N2102Ep (02/09/21): L1 endogenous expressor

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

Weigh out 75mg MT289 and 75mg of N2102Ep powder, add 300ul of extraction buffer (with protease inhibitors and RNasin 1:250)

Sonicate @ 2Amp, 4x 2sec

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

Collect the supernatant, set up 75mg anti-ORF1 IP of MT289 and N2103Ep with 15ul of anti-ORF1 beads (10ul anti-ORF1 beads per 50mg IP)

IP @ 4°C for 30’

Wash 3x 1ml extraction buffer

Transfer beads to fresh tubes after 2nd wash

Elute with 10ul of 1mM ORF1 di-peptide @ RT for 15’ with shaking

Collect eluate (10ul each)

Wash beads with 5ul of extraction buffer

Collect the wash and combine it with eluate (15ul total)

Save 5ul for Western (anti-ORF1 elution, “Input”)

Dilute the ORF1 dipetide elution 1:5 with 20mM HEPES, pH7.4, 1% Tritonx-100 (+ protease inhibitors) and do the S9.6 IP (final 200mM NaCl)

10ul elution + 40ul of 20mM HEPES, pH7.4, 1% Tritonx-100, 125mM NaCl (final 200mM NaCl)

For each cell line, split the diluted elution into 2x 25ul aliquots

Add 2.5ul of S9.6 or mouse IgG beads (old Protein G beads) to each tube; set up the following IPs (25mg IP with 2.5ul of protein G beads)

1) MT289_S9.6

2) MT289_mIgG

3) N2102Ep_S9.6

4) N2102Ep_mIgG

IP @ RT for 15’

Save the flow-through (25ul) for Western (“FT”); Put the FT in speed vac to reduce the volume from 25ul to ~10ul

Wash beads with 3x 200ul IP buffer (200mM NaCl)

Elute beads with 10ul 2% SDS/ @ 70°C for 5’

Collect the eluate (“E”)

Check Input, FT and E by Western against anti-ORF1 and anti-ORF2 antibodies

Western against anti-ORF2 and anti-ORF1 antibodies
