TP53 Test PO in HEK293, HeLa, Colon Tumor

jlacava10th January 2020 at 11:18am

Test PO with anti-TP53 beads

Date: 08/09/17

Cell lines and tissue:

HEK293 FLp-In T-Rex (4/5/17)
HeLa Kyoto (8/11/16)
163T (2015-P-1858, Colon Tumor)

Beads were conjugated with anti-TP53 (3/16/17)

Scale: 100mg per experiment, with 10ul of beads

Extraction/wash buffers:

1)    20mM HEPES, pH7.4, 0.5% Tritonx-100, 150mM NaCl
2)    20mM HEPES, pH7.4, 0.5% Tritonx-100, 300mM NaCl

Weigh out 2x 100mg of each powder;

Add 400ul of either extraction buffer 1) or 2) with protease inhibitors to each tube (1:4 w/v), vortex to mix

Sonicate (25x 2 sec) @ 2 Amp

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

Save 15ul of the supernatant for Western analysis (“Sup”)

Resuspend each pellet in 450ul of 1.1x LDS by pipetting and vortex

Spin @ 20k rcf, 4°C for 5’

Keep the supernatant for Western analysis (“Pellet”)

Use the rest of the clarified lysate to set up IPs using 10ul of beads for 100mg of powder

  6. Colon Tumor_300mM NaCl

Incubate @ 4°C for 30’

Keep the flow-through for Western analysis (“FT”)

Wash 3x 1ml extraction buffer (transfer the beads to fresh tubes during 2nd wash)

Elute with 18ul of LDS @ 70°C for 5’ with shaking

Collect the elution (“E”)

Add 2ul of 500mM DTT to each sample (total 20ul)

Heat samples @ 75°C for 10’

Load 90% of the elution for Coomassie stain and use 10% for Western

Run 15-well 4-12% Bis-Tris gel, stain with Coomassie
