Application examples
Application example
5 µg of total protein from samples such as (1) Arabidopsis thaliana leaf, (2) Hordeum vulgare leaf, (3) Chlamydomonas reinhardtii total cell, (4) Synechococcus sp. 7942 total cell, (5) PsaC protein standard (AS04 042S), total protein from all the samples were extracted with Agrisera Protein Extraction Buffer PEB (AS08 300). Samples were diluted with 1X sample buffer (NuPAGE LDS sample buffer (Invitrogen) supplemented with 50 mM DTT and heat at 70°C for 5 min and kept on ice before loading. Protein samples were separated on NuPAGE 4-12% Tris-Bis gel (Invitrogen) LDS-PAGE and blotted for 1h to 1.5h on PVDF using tank transfer. Blots were blocked immediately following transfer in 2% blocking reagent for 1h at RT with agitation. Blots were incubated with PsaC antibody at a dilution of 1: 10 000 (in blocking reagent) for 1h at RT with agitation. The antibody solution was decanted and the blot was rinsed briefly twice, and then washed 1x15 min and 3x5 min with TBS-T at RT with agitation. Blots were incubated in secondary antibody (anti-rabbit IgG HRP conjugated, AS09 602) diluted to 1:50 000 in blocking reagent for 1h at RT with agitation. The blots were washed as above. The blot was developed for 5 min with chemiluminescence detection reagent in mid picogram range. Images of the blots were obtained using a CCD imager (FluorSMax, Bio-Rad) and Quantity One software (Bio-Rad).

Additional information
Additional information
Peptide target used to elicit this antibody is well conserved in all photoautotrophs except some cyanobacteria, some red algae and Cyanophora paradoxa, which contain a conserved substitution of a valine to an isoleucine. The performance of the antibodies has been confirmed against taxa containing both the valine and isoleucine variants.
Example of a simulataneous western blot detection with RbcL, PsbA and PsaC antibodies.

In some species minor cross reactions with some larger proteins are seen. These may contain related iron-sulfur binding motifs. Therefore size verification of the reacting band is required. Due to the small size of the protein, care should be taken to differentiate between chemiluminescent signal from PsaC and non-specific signals from chlotophylls or lipids if pigment is retained near the bottom of the blot.
For the most optimal results use:thylakoid membranes or PSI particles, solubilized in a SDS sample buffer (final concentrations: 63 mM Tris HCl, 10% glycerol, 2% SDS, 0.0025% bromophenol blue) with 2.5% beta-mercaptoethanol at 85C for 2 minutes. The samples were spun softly, then the supernatant loaded.

Background
Background
PsaC is a conserved, chloroplast-encoded, Fe-S binding protein of approximately 10kDa, present in all known Photosystem I complexes. It is located on the stromal side of the thylacoid membranes. PsaC coordinates the Fe–S clusters FA and FB through two cysteine-rich domains.
