Still a work in progress
Overview
Blotting for V5-tagged proteins in S. cerevisiae
Materials
- Y-PER (Pierce)
- Halt EDTA-free Protease Inhibitor (Pierce)
- Nitrocellulose membrane
Procedure
Lysis
- Grow 25mL culture to saturation in appropriate (generally dropout) media.
- Pellet cells at 3000g, 4°C for 5 minutes
- Pour off supernatant, weigh, resuspend in water at 1 mg/mL.
- Transfer 100uL to a 1.5mL tube, repellet as before
- Reweigh, resuspend at 0.5 mg/uL in YPER (+EDTA-free protease inhibitor)
- Agitate at RT for 20min
- Pellet at 14000g, 4°C for 10 minutes
SDS-PAGE
- Remove 40uL of lysate supernatant, mix with 10uL of 5x loading buffer
- Also take 5uL prestained ladder (thaw and vortex first)
- Boil samples while prepping precast SDS-PAGE gel
- Load 25uL of each sample
- Run gel with MOPS running buffer, 150V, ~1hr
Transfer
- Make 2x transfer buffer + 10% MeOH
- Pre-equilibrate gel in 2x transfer buffer + 0.02% SDS, 10 minutes
- Soak pags + membrane in 2x transfer buffer + 10% MeOH
- Layer pad, membrane, gel, pad
- Run 15V, 20 minutes
Blotting
- Incubate membrane with 1x TBST + 5% milk, >1hr (rocking)
- Wash twice with 1x TBST, 5 minutes (rocking)
- Incubate membrane with 10mL 1x TBST + 5% milk + 2μL α-V5 antibody, >1hr (rocking)
- Wash twice with 1x TBST, 5 minutes (rocking)
- Mix 2.5mL each developing solution, add to membrane, incubate 5 minutes (rocking)
