admin16th March 2021 at 10:05am

RRP6 purification with 300mM buffer followed by glycerol gradient

Date: 03/09/21

Cell line: HEK-293 EXOSC10-3xFLAG (RRP6-3xFLAG) from Leila

Extraction Buffers: 20mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 300mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100 (v/v)

Anti-FLAG beads used in this experiment were made with anti-FLAG antibody from Marty (beads made on 09/03/20)

Scale: 8x 250mg IP with 25ul of anti-FLAG beads per 250mg IP

Weigh out 8x250mg RRP6-3x FLAG; add 1250ul extraction buffer protease inhibitors to each (1:5, w/v) to each tube

Vortex to mix; put the tubes on ice after resuspending the powder

Sonicate @ 2 Amp, 4x 2 sec, (2 sec pulse on, 1 sec pulse off; energy: 15J); Repeat once (30J total per 250mg sample)

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

Take the clarified lysate

Set up 8x 250mg IP reactions (25ul beads per 250mg powder)

IP @ 4°C for 1h with rotation (cold room)

Prepare 1mg/ml 3xFLAG peptide for native elution (20ul per 250mg reaction) Dilute 5mg/ml stock with 300mM extraction buffer

After 1hr IP, wash beads with 2x 1ml extraction buffer; do all wash steps in the cold room

Transfer the beads to fresh tubes during 2nd wash

After the 3rd wash, spin down briefly and remove any remaining liquid

Add 20ul 1mg/ml 3xFLAG peptide in extraction buffer

Elute for 15 min at RT w/ mixing

Place on a magnet; transfer the supernatant to a fresh tube

Add 10ul of extraction buffer to each tube to wash the beads

Collect the wash and pool elution and wash from all 8 tubes together (8x20+8x10=240ul total)

Keep the samples on ice before loading the gradient

10% v/v glycerol

20 mM HEPES-NaOH, pH 7.4

100 mM NaCl

Passing the glycerol fractions through Zeba 7K to get rid of glycerol

Take fractions 9 and 10 (~200ul each); save 10ul for negative stain; save 15ul from each before desalting (glycerol fraction) for gel analysis

Remove the storage buffer from Zeba 7K column, spin @ 1500g for 1’

Equilibrate six 0.5ml Zeba 7K column (sample range: 30-130ul) with 3x 300ul of 20mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 250mM NaCl, NO DETERGENT, spin @ 1000g for 1’

Load 85ul of sample on column and spin @ 1500g for 2’; recover 85ul; combine samples from same fraction

Save 15ul for gel analysis; Keep 70ul for EM (single desalted samples)

Load 85ul of single desalted sample on another equilabrated 0.5ml Zeba 7K column and spin @ 1500g for 2’; recover 85ul

Save 15ul for gel analysis; Keep 70ul for EM (double desalted samples)

Run sample collected from each step side by side on 4-12% Bis-Tris gel followed by silver stain
