Anti-mCherry tag Mouse mAb conjugated Agarose Beads
Catalog number :AT1962
mCherry is derived from proteins originally isolated from Cnidarians (jelly fish, sea anemones and corals), and is used as a fluorescent tracer in trasfection and transgenic experiments. The prototype for these fluorescent proteins is Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), which is a ~27kDa protein isolated originally from the jellyfish Aequoria victoria. The mCherry protein is derived from DsRed, a red fluorescent protein related to GFP isolated from so-called disc corals of the genus Discosoma.

- Protocols
- Protocol for Immunoprecipitation of mCherry-Fusion Proteins from mammalian cell extract1. Harvest cells1). For one immunoprecipitation reaction the use of ~106 - 107 mammalian cells (approx. one 10-cm dish) expressing a mCherry-tagged protein of interest is recommended. To harvest adherent cells, aspirate growth medium, add 1 ml ice-cold PBS to cells and scrape cells from dish. Transfer cells to a pre-cooled tube, spin at 500 g for 3 min at +4°C and discard supernatant. Wash cell pellet twice with ice-cold PBS, gently resuspending the cells. After washing:2. Lyse cells1). Resuspend cell pellet in 200 μl ice-cold lysis buffer by pipetting or using a syringe.note: Supplement lysis buffer with protease inhibitors and 1 mM PMSF (not included).optional for nuclear/chromatin proteins: Use RIPA buffer supplemented with 1 mg/ml DNase, 2.5 mM MgCl2, protease inhibitors and 1 mM PMSF (not included).2). Place the tube on ice for 30 min with extensively pipetting every 10 min.3). Centrifuge cell lysate at 20000x g for 10 min at +4°C. Transfer lysate to a pre-cooled tube. Add 300 μl dilution buffer to lysate. Discard pellet.note: At this point cell lysate may be put at -80°C for long-term storage.optional: Add 1 mM PMSF and protease inhibitors (not included) to dilution buffer.3. Equilibrate beads1). Vortex anti-mCherry agarose beads and pipette 25 μl bead slurry into 500 μl ice-cold dilution buffer. Centrifuge at 2500x g for 2 min at +4°C. Discard supernatant and repeat wash twice.4. Bind proteins1). Add diluted lysate (step 2.3) to equilibrated anti-mCherry agarose beads (step 3.1). If required, save 50 μl of diluted lysate for immunoblot analysis. Tumble end-over-end for 1 hour at 4°C.2). Centrifuge at 2500x g for 2 min at +4°C. If required, save 50 μl supernatant for immunoblot analysis. Discard remaining supernatant.5. Wash beads1). Resuspend anti-mCherry agarose beads in 500 μl ice-cold dilution buffer. Centrifuge at 2500x g for 2 min at +4°C. Discard supernatant and repeat wash twice.optional: Increase salt concentration in the second washing step up to 500 mM.6. Elute proteins1). Resuspend anti-mCherry agarose beads in 100 μl 2x SDS-sample buffer.2). Boil resuspended anti-mCherry agarose beads for 10 min at 95°C to dissociate immunocomplexes from anti-mCherry agarose beads. anti-mCherry agarose beads can be collected by centrifugation at 2500x g for 2 min at 4°C and SDS-PAGE is performed with the supernatant.3). optional instead of steps 6.1 and 6.2: elute bound proteins by adding 50 μl 0.2 M glycine pH 2.5 (incubation time: 30 sec under constant mixing) followed by centrifugation. Transfer the supernatant to a new tube and add 5 μl 1M Tris base pH 10.4 for neutralization. To increase elution efficiency this step can be repeated.
