    western blot using anti-AGO1 antibodies

    80 µg of Arabidopsis thaliana soluble total cell extract (extracted in 20 mMTris pH 7.5, 5mM MgCl2, 2.5mM DTT, 300 mM NaCl, 0.1% NP-40, 1% proteasome inhibitor MG132) was separated on 6% SDS-PAGE and blotted 1h to nitrocellulose. Filters were blocked 1h with 5% low-fat milk powder in TBS-TT (0.25% TWEEN20; 0.1% Triton-X) and probed with anti-AGO1 antibody (1:10 000, 1h) and secondary anti-rabbit (1:10000, 1 h) antibody (HRP conjugated) in TBS-TT containing 5% low fat milk powder. Antibody incubations were followed by washings in TBS-TT. All steps were performed at RT with agitation. Blots were developed for 5 min with ECL-PLUS detection reagent according to the manufacturer's instructions. Exposure time was 5 seconds.

    Roche's protease inhibitor cocktail (no EDTA) can also be applied in extraction buffer.

    PGs are RNA granules to which also PVA RNA can localize.(A) Fractions containing PGs labeled with P0YFP were isolated from PVACPmut infected leaf lysates (+ sample), as described in materials and methods. Lysates from non-infected leaves expressing P0YFP were fractionated similarly (- sample). Three parallel fractions of each sample type were used for fluorescence quantification and relative fluorescence units are given as a mean ± standard deviation. (B) Fractions quantified in (A) were imaged using epifluorescence microscopy to show successful capture of PVA-induced PGs. Scale bar; 500 ?m. (C) PG fractions were isolated from mock-infiltrated leaves (-) and PVACPmut RNA-expressing leaves (+) at 3 DAI and subjected to a western blot detection of endogenous HCpro, P0 and AGO1. The asterisks denote the expected position of the corresponding protein. (D) Similar samples enriched for PGs as in (A and B), were incubated with or without RNAse A and imaged using epifluorescence microscopy. Scale bar; 20 ?m. (E) RNAse A-mediated release of fluorescence from isolated PGs (D) was quantified by analyzing fluorescence in total, soluble and low-speed pellet fractions after RNAse A treatment compared to control samples (n = 3). (F) PG fractions were prepared from leaves expressing PVA together with either P0YFP (control) or Strep-III-tagged P0 (P0SIII), and subjected to Strep-tag based affinity purification. RNA was isolated from the affinity-purified samples and subjected to reverse transcription (RT+), followed by PCR detection of viral RNA. Total RNA from PVA infected leaves was used as a positive control for RT-PCR. The RT-minus control (RT-) was negative. (G) Bacteriophage ? B-box RNA elements were fused to the 3´ UTR within PVA?GDD icDNA (PVAB-box; S1 Fig). Binding of ?N22RFP to the B-box RNA element enabled visualization of PVAB-box RNA in vivo. PGs were induced either by PVA?GDD (control) or PVAB-box and visualized by P0YFP (green channel), and ?N22RFP was co-expressed to label B-box RNA. The RFP signal was mainly found in nuclei due to the nuclear localization signal present in ?N22RFP, but also in the cytoplasm and PGs in the presence of PVAB-box (magenta channel). The images are projections of Z-stacks with a single layer inset from the area indicated with an arrow. Scale bar; 10 ?m.

    miRNAs and ta-siRNAs are recruited to membranes by AGO1.(A) Detection of three miRNAs in total extracts and the microsomal fraction in wild type (Col) and ago1-36. The ago1-36 mutant lacks the full-length AGO1 protein as shown by western blotting. HSC70 was a loading control. The three miRNAs were detected by northern blotting. 5S rRNA was an internal control and shown below each miRNA blot. The microsomal levels of the miRNAs were reduced in ago1-36. (B) A scatter plot showing comparable miRNA abundance in wild type (WT) and ago1-27 total extracts. Inset: box plots illustrating the distribution of miRNA RPMR values in WT and ago1-27. (C) A scatter plot showing that miRNAs have reduced microsomal enrichment in ago1-27 as compared with wild type. Microsomal enrichment was measured by M/T (ratio of levels in microsome vs. those in total extract). The degree of microsomal enrichment of miR390 (yellow dots) is largely unchanged, while that of most known ta-siRNA/phasiRNA triggers (red dots) is decreased in ago1-27. miR173’s (green dot) microsomal enrichment was weakly affected. (D) A scatter plot showing that 21-nt and 22-nt ta-siRNAs from TAS1-4 loci have reduced microsomal enrichment in ago1-27 as compared with wild type.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.22750.010

    Recommended for detection of AGO1: extreme low femtogram range chemiluminescent detection reagent

    Additional information (application):
    AGO expression may be tissue specific and using floral tissue is recommended where most of the AGOs are expressed the highest. Use of proteasome inhibitors as MG132 can help to stabilize AGO proteins during extraction procedure. Buffer for extraction of AGO proteins: Paudel et al. 2018.

    The AGO1 antibody is extremely specific to AGO1 and does not cross-react with other antibodies. The evidence is 1) the peptide to which it was raised is at the very N-terminus of the protein and is not present in other AGOs 2) aAGO1 does not cross react with the AGOs which are overexpressed (AGO2, AGO3, AGO4, AGO5, AGO6, AGO9) using a western blot.

  • Background
  • Background:

    AGO1 belongs to a group of argonaute proteins which are catalytic component of the RNA-incudes silencing complex (RISC). This protein complex is responsible for the gene silencing (RNAi).

    • Precipitate overnight in -20C.
    • Spin at 4°C for 1min, 17k rpm > wash with ice cold acetone until you obtain a white pellet.
    • Dissolve the pellet in buffer of choice (for example 8M urea containing 5mM DTT, or denaturate in SDS protein loading buffer for 10 min. at 70°C)
    • Clarify supernatant
    • Measure protein concentration. 
    • Proceed with a western blot.

    Example of a western blot result obtained with this method, which allows high protein load per well, can be found below. 



    western blot using anti-AGO4 antibodies


    360 µg/well of Arabidopsis thaliana protein extracted by TCA-acetone precipitation from floral tissue and saturated in 8M urea were separated on 15% SDS-PAGE and blotted for 1hour to 0.2 µm nitrocellulose at 100V using wet transfer system. Blots were blocked with 0.5% cold fish gelatin for 1hr at room temp with agitation. Blot was incubated in the primary antibody at a dilution of 1:2500 for an hour at RT with agitation. The blots were washed with 3X 15min TBS-TT at RT with agitation. Blots as incubated in the secondary antibody (DayLight 800) 1:5000 dilution for 30 min. at RT with agitation and washed 1X with TBSTT for 15 min, 1X with TBST for 15min before scanning with the ODyssey IRD scanner.
