Introduction
Ubiquitin is small; resolving it can be tricky. The following protocol is adapted from John Hanna in Dan Finley's lab.
Protocol
- Prepare logarithmically growing cells.
- Resuspend in 1X LLB at a concentration of 75 uL 1X LLB per 1 OD600 worth of cells.
- Boil 5 min
- Centrifuge briefly to pellet debris.
- Load 15 ul on 4-12% B/T gradient gel (Invitrogen); be sure to use MES buffer as this gives better resolution in the LMW range
- Wet transfer to PVDF for 1 hour at 250 mA (constant)
- Block 40 minutes
- Primary antibody: anti-ubiquitin polyclonal Ab (Biomol: UG9510) 1:2500 in TBS-T for 40 minutes (can re-use this antibody at least 5 times)
- Wash 4x5 min in TBS-T
- Secondary antibody: anti-rabbit IgG Ab 1:10000 in TBT-T for 40 minutes
- Wash 4x5 min in TBS-T
- Wash 1x1 min in water ECL
