RRP6 purification followed by dialysis

Date: 05/14/21

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) with IgG leakage problem when elute with LDS @ 70°C

IP

Scale: 100mg with 10ul of anti-FLAG

Weigh out 2x 100mg RRP6-3x FLAG; add 500ul extraction with protease inhibitors to (1:5, w/v) to each tube

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

Sonicate @ 2 Amp, 5x 2 sec; Repeat once (20J total per 100mg sample)

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

Take the clarified lysate

Set up 100mg IP reactions

Incubate with 10ul pre-washed anti-FLAG beads

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

Prepare 1mg/ml 3xFLAG peptide for native elution

• Dilute 5mg/ml stock with extraction buffer with 0.01% Tx

After 1hr IP, wash beads with 3x 1ml extraction buffer; do the wash in the cold room

Transfer beads to fresh tubes after 2nd wash

Native elution

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

Add 10ul 1mg/ml 3xFLAG peptide per tube (100mg IP)

Elute for 15 min at RT w/ mixing

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

Wash the beads with 10ul of reaction buffer

Combine the wash with 3xFLAG elution from both tubes (40ul total)

Save 10ul for gel (50mg equivalent)

Save 30ul for dialysis

Wash anti-FLAG beads with 500ul of reaction buffer

Elute beads again with 40ul of LDS, RT for 10’

Load 10ul LDS wash on gel (“Beads”; 25mg equivalent)

Removing 3x FLAG peptide using Slide-A-Lyzer MINI Dialysis Device 7K (ThermoFisher, cat # 69560)

Prepare dialysate (1L): 20mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 300mM NaCl, NO DETERGENT

Place the unit into the float so that the bottom of the dialysis unit is in contact with the dialysate. Always make sure that the volume level of the sample is at or above the level of the dialysate.

Use two units, load 20ul sample to one and 10ul to the other one (unit capacity is 500ul; for best result, load 10-100ul of sample)

Cap the unit and place in a flotation device (can use parafilm instead of the cap)

Use a low-speed setting on a stir plate so that the flotation device is not submerged

Dialyze for 1-2 hr using a dialysate volume of 1L

After 1hr, take 10ul out from unit 1 (initial volume loaded 20ul) and put the unit back on the floater to dialyze for another hour

After 2hr, take both units out and collect the samples

Load 10ul of each sample on gel (50mg equivalent); save the rest @ 4°C (~10ul after 2hr dialysis)

Add LDS to peptide elution and 50mM DTT (final concentrations) to all gel samples

Heat @ 70°C for 10’

Run samples on 15-well 4-12% Bis-Tris gel for Coomassie stain
