November 17, 2020 - N2102Ep anti-ORF1 IP with Nuclease treatments

admin2nd January 2021 at 8:13am

In order to understand what is going on with our DNA/RNA hybrids interactome in our L1 study from EC cells - here is what I want to do.

anti-ORF1p from N2102Ep.

on beads

(1) treat with RNAs A T1 (high salt and low salt)

(2) treat with RNase H

(3) treat with benzonase

(4) BSA control

(5) Additionally - antiORF1p IP, natively elute - S96. IP (with control which will be RNase H treated) - elute using SDS

Save supernatants - but we won’t analyze probably

elute - MS analysis of sensitive fraction

Can we do 3 replicates of each and send

1) Solubilize by adding 23μL of 1X lysis buffer to dried sample (or 11.5μL 2X lysis to 11.5μL liquid sample). Mix (sonicate or vortex).

2) Reduce by adding TCEP to 5mM final concentration (1μL of 120mM added to sample) and mix.

a. Incubate 55C for 15 minutes (Thermomixer at 600 RPM).

i. Prepare/label columns during incubation and place in 2mL tubes (lids cut off)

b. Put the tube on ice briefly to bring the temperature down to RT.

3) Alkylate by adding MMTS to 20mM final concentration (1μL of 0.5M MMTS added to sample) and mix.

a. Incubate @ RT for 10 minutes.

b. Prepare protease during incubation

4) Acidify by adding 2.5μL 27.5% phosphoric acid to the sample and mix (final volume 27.5μL)

5) Bind by adding 165μL of S-Trap binding buffer to the sample, pipetting to mix, applying to spin column, and centrifuging 4000g x 30sec (or vacuum). Discard flow-through.

6) Wash protein (try to rotate tubes 180deg between spins if centrifuging, or use vacuum)

a. Wash by adding 150μL S-Trap binding/buffer and centrifuging. (wash 1)

b. Wash x3 by adding 150-200μL 2:1 chloroform:MeOH and centrifuging. (wash 2-4, lipid removal)

7) Digest protein

a. Place S-Trap column into a new Lo-bind tube.

b. Add 20μL of Trypsin/Lys-C solution (125 ng/uL) to the top of the protein trap (2.5μg). Ensure there is no bubble atop the protein trap, can “flick” to help.

c. Cap the S-Trap column loosely and incubate for 1hr at 47C (Thermomixer at 0 RPM with humidification).

8) Elute peptides

a. Apply 40μL 50mM TEAB pH8.5. Centrifuge 4000g x 60sec.

MS sample preparation

15 elution samples: S-trap micro spin column protocol (modified by LaCava lab)

15 supernatant samples: S-trap ultra-high recovery protocol (see below)

Sample preparation _micro high recovery protocol

Date: 12/09/20

1) Add 23 uL of 5% SDS (final % SDS), 8 M urea, 100 mM glycine pH 7.55 to the (dried down) samples. Combine glycine and urea just before use

This set of samples (supernatant of RNase digestion or BSA control) has no SDS prior to adding S-tray lysis buffer. Add 23ul of 5% SDS, 8 M urea, 100 mM glycine pH 7.55 to each sample.

2) Reduce by adding 1 µL reductant (120 mM aq. TCEP) to sample (5mM final concentration) and mix. 120 mM TCEP: stored @ -20°C. Thaw once and discard the leftover.

3) Incubate 37°C for 15 minutes (Thermomixer at 600 RPM).

4) Put the tube on ice briefly to bring the temperature down to RT. Set Thermomixer to 47°C and humidify.

5) Alkylate by adding 1 uL alkylator (500 mM MMTS). (final concentration: 20 mM)

500 mM MMTS: 63.1mg in 1ml LC-MS isopropanol. Store @ 4°C for 1 month.

6) Incubate @ RT for 15 minutes.

Prepare protease during incubation (see step 10)

7) Acidify by adding 2.5 µL 55% aq. phosphoric acid to the 25 µL sample. This is different than the normal protocol.

55% aq. phosphoric acid: 648ul 85% H3PO4 + 352ul of H2O. Store @ 4°C for months.

8) Place S-trap column into a standard 2.0 mL vial (cut-off lid).

9) Add 165 µL of S-Trap binding buffer (90% MeOH, 100 mM final TEAB, pH 7.55) into the S-Trap micro column.

S-trap buffer: (90% MeOH/100mM TEAB pH 7.55)

10) The next two steps must be done as quickly as possible. Add 2 µg of trypsin/lys-C mix into the acidified sample, immediately mix by pipetting up and down, then immediately transfer the mixture into the S-Trap binding buffer held in the micro spin column. Again mix by pipetting up and down.

Resuspend 20ug of trypsin/lys-C mix in 50ul of resuspension buffer (50mM acetic acid). Use 5ul per sample.

11) Spin in bench-top centrifuge, the S-Trap column in a standard 2.0 mL tube at 4000 g until the solution has passed through (~30 sec). Remove flow through.

12) Wash by adding 150 µL S-Trap buffer (pH=7.55) to the spin column and centrifuging through (4000 g, 30 seconds). Remove flow through. Repeat three times.

Change the direction of the tubes between washes

13) Place S-Trap column into a new 1.7mL Lo-bind tube.

14) Add 0.5 µg of trypsin/lys-C in 25 µL of 50 mM TEAB, pH 8 to the top of the protein trap

10x stock (5ug/25ul): Resuspend 20ug of trypsin/lys-C in 100 µL of 1 mM HCl; dilute to 1x working solution with 55 mM TEAB, pH 8.5 before use (final 50mM TEAB, final pH8.1). If 50mM of acetic acid was used to make 10x stock and diluted to 1x with 55 mM TEAB, pH 8.5, final pH will be 7.7.

15) Cap the S-Trap column loosely and incubate for 2 hrs at 47 °C (with Thermomixer at 0 RPM). DO NOT SHAKE. The cap MUST NOT form an air-tight seal.

16) Add 40 uL of 50 mM TEAB pH 8.5 to the S-Trap column. Centrifuge elution through at 4,000 g for 30 seconds

17) Add 40 uL of 0.2% formic acid. Centrifuge elution through at 4,000 g for 30 seconds

18) Elute hydrophobic peptides with 35 μL 50% acetonitrile, 0.2% formic acid (v:v). Centrifuge elution through at 4,000 g for 30 seconds

19) Dry down in Speedvac (~120 minutes at RT). Store -80 until ready for LC/MS.
