IP KINASE ASSAY (for yeast TAP-tagged PAS kinase)
Complete Lysis buffer:
Stock buffer:
20 mM HEPES (pH 7.4)
10 mM KCl
1 mM EDTA
1 mM EGTA
50 mM NaCl
10% glycerol
Add fresh on day of IP:
1/300th mammalian PICS
50 mM NaF (0.21g in 100 mL)
50 mM glycerol-phosphate (1.08g in 100 mL)
Check pH to be sure it has not changed with addition of NaF and glycerol-phosphate
IgG Sepharose:
IgG Sepharose 6 Fast Flow (Amersham biosciences 17-0969-01)
To prepare beads, place desired amount in epindorf and mark volume with marker on
side of epindorf, pellet at low speed (3,000 rpm x 2 min), take of top liquid and replace
with lysis buffer to original volume.
Kinase Reaction buffer:
3 uL 10X kinase buffer (lab stock)
6 uL 10 mM gamma32-ATP (5 uL hot ATP into 200 uL cold 10 mM ATP)
2 uL 10X diluted Ugp1 (substrate 1656A)
19 uL dH20
30 uL total
METHOD
1) grow 50 mL of the appropriate culture, pellet, and freeze at –80°C.
2) Resuspend pellets in 2 mL complete lysis buffer and lyse in 3.0 g of beads (1 min
vortex x 3). Remove each liquid sample into pre-marked centrifuge tubes. To
retrieve more sample from beads, add 1 mL lysis buffer to beads, vortex, and add
supernate to the rest of the sample. Centrifuge at 20,000x g for 20 min to get rid
of debris
3) Add half of each sample (<1.5 mL) to an epindorf with 50 uL of protein G
agarose beads (washed and resuspended in lysis buffer) and rotate at 4°C for 2
hours. Half is for kinase reaction and half for western. You may also split after
wash if desired.
4) Wash 4 x in lysis buffer
KINASE REACTION
Resuspend beads in 30 uL reaction mixture and run kinase reaction at 30’C for 12 min
(vortex each sample twice during this time to mix). Add SDS buffer (15 uL of 4x) and
heat at 98’C for 90 sec before loading on a 10 lane, 8% SDS-PAGE gel along with
prestained protein standards. Run until bottom band is almost to the edge of gel (this
will be free ATP). Cut off the free ATP at the end of the gel, coomassie stain, destain,
and let the gel soak in water for at least 30 min. Dry gel, and expose UGP1
phosphorylation by film or by phosphorimager.
WESTERN
Resuspend samples in 30 uL of 2x SDS sample buffer, on 8% SDS-PAGE. Transfer to
PVDF membrane and then block 1 hour in 1% powdered milk PBST. Add PAP (sigma
P-1291) at a 1/5000 dilution and shake gently OVERNIGHT at 4°C. Wash 3x in PBST
for 15 min and room temp. Develop with picoWest (try 2 min, 4 min and 8 min time
points.)

KEEP COLD THE ENTIRE PROCEDURE (4’C)
Preparing Cell Extract
Grow up 2 L of culture, pellet and freeze at –80C. Resuspend in 10 mL lysis buffer and
add 4 g of beads. Lyse by 3 min. vortex (do 3-1 min intervals and cool on ice 1 min
between each one). Pellet debris by centrifuging 20K x g for 20 min.
Binding to IgG Beads
Add 10 mL yeast extract to 200 uL of IgG sepharose bead suspension in a 15 mL conical
tube (PHARMACIA 17-0969-01). Be sure to remove 20% ETOH from beads and
replace with lysis buffer prior to use. Rotate with IgG beads for 2 hours at 4C.
TEV Protease Cleavage
Wash 3X with 4 mL of wash buffer (by pelleting and resuspending, pellet at 2000 rpm
for 2 min). Resuspend beads in 4 mL wash buffer and remove 100 uL for kinase
reaction. and then pellet both the 100 uL sample, and the 4 mL sample, remove the
supernatant. Keep the 100 uL sample on ice until kinase reaction. Resuspend the 4 mL
sample in 10 mL TEV cleavage buffer and pellet. Remove supernatant and add 1 mL
TEV cleavage buffer and approximately 100 units of TEV enzyme. Close the top of the
conical and rotate 2 hours at 16C. During this 2 hour period, run kinase assays.
Pellet beads and keep supernatant (PAS kinase is now in supernatant). The solution
remaining in the beads my be obtained by adding an additional 0.5 mL of the TEV
cleavage buffer, then pelleting again. Add this supernatant to the 1 mL already
harvested.
Binding to Calmodulin Beads
Add 3 volumes of calmodulin binding buffer (4.5 mL) and 13.5 uL of CaCl2 1M per mL
of IgG eluate to titrate the EDTA coming from the TEV cleavage buffer. Transfer this to
200 uL of calmodulin beads in a 15 mL conical tube. Rotate 1 hour at 4C. Wash 3x with
8 mL calmodulin binding buffer, resuspend in 8 mL and add to column. Then elute 5
fractions of 200 uL with calmodulin elution buffer.
TAKE THE 150 uL samples to the proteomics core facility for LC-MS. Run 40 uL on
SDS-PAGE to see what is present and save 10 uL to perform IP kinase assays.
------------------------------------------------IF desired--------------------------------------------Protein analysis
To analyze proteins on gel, precipitate the final eluates and some of the controls with
TCA and load SDS-PAGE gel.
TCA precipitation: To a 1 mL protein sample (at least 5ug/mL), add 100 uL of 100%
TCA and vortex. Allow protein to precipitate 30 min on ice, spin for 5 min. at 10K x g.
Remove supernatant, wash once with ethanol:ether (1:1) and resuspend in a buffered
solution.
