  • Transfer to blot
  • Block blot ON in 1% BSA in TBS-T

Washing beads: cAMP precipitation

  • Spin beads 5 min. 2100xg @ 4 °C
  • Collect supernatant (= NAC)
  • Add 500 μL Potter buffer
  • Spin 5 min. 2100xg @ 4 °C
  • Remove supernatant with vacuum pump
  • Add 500 μL Potter buffer
  • Spin 5 min. 2100xg @ 4 °C
  • Remove supernatant with vacuum pump
  • Add 500 μL Potter buffer
  • Spin 5 min. 2100xg @ 4 °C
  • Remove supernatant with vacuum pump and syringe
  • Add 50 μL of 4x sample buffer
  • Spin 5 min. 2100xg @ 4 °C

RIPA BUFFER (100 mL)

  • 50 mM Tris-HCl (5 mL 1 M Tris pH 7.4)
  • Adjust to pH 7.4
  • 150 mM NaCl (0.87 g NaCl)
  • 1 mM EDTA (37.22 mg EDTA)
  • 1% Triton x-100 (1 mL Tritox x-100)
  • 1% Sodium deoxycholate (1,03 g (97%))
  • 0.1% SDS (1 g SDS)

Notes

  • One gel was too small, probably added water to fast (to remove airbubbles from top). I only needed 5 so it's okay.
  • Second wash of beads was kept in centrifuge for ~30 min. and centrifuged a second time before continuing to third wash
  • Third wash was performed with new RIPA buffer
  • Gel running was troublesome, first a bit blurry but straightened out later. Marker was a bit faint and running took >2 h.
    • HiMark (Invitrogen) was used

Results

  • Ponceau staining of cAMP precipitations 4 gels with the same samples and marker

Discussion

  • Nothing visible, HOPEFULLY this is due to a low amount of protein (or bad Ponceau) and NOT due to the complete lack of protein
