BirA (mutated/TurboID)

Rabbit

1 – 20 µg A. thaliana – Wt Col-0 (Negative control)
2 – 20 µg of A. thaliana expressing POI-TurboID fusion (Independent line 1)
3 – 20 µg of A. thaliana expressing POI-TurboID fusion (Independent line 2)
4 – 20 µg of A. thaliana expressing POI-TurboID fusion (Independent line 3)
5 – 10 ng of purified TurboID (Positive control)

20 µg/well of total protein were extracted from Arabidopsis thaliana leaf material in diluted HENS (25mM HEPES pH 7.7, 1mM EDTA, 2.5 % SDS) and stored at -80°C. Samples were denatured in 1x protein loading dye (0.5% Sodium dodecyl Sulfate, 0.002% Bromophenol Blue, 10% glycerol, and 50 mM Tris-HCl pH6.8) at 95°C for 5 min. Samples were separated on 4-16% gradient SDS-PAGE gel and blotted 1h to a nitrocellulose membrane (pore size of 0.45 um), using a semi-dry transfer. Blot was blocked with 5% milk in TBS-T at 4°C/ON without agitation. Blot was incubated in the primary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 in 5% milk in TBS-T, at 4°C, ON without agitation. The antibody solution was decanted and the blot was rinsed briefly, then washed three times for 10 min in TBS-T at RT with agitation. Blot was incubated in Agrisera matching secondary antibody (anti-rabbit IgG horse radish peroxidase conjugated, AS09 602) diluted to 1:25 000 in TBS-T for 1h at RT with agitation. The blot was washed as above and developed for 2 min with Agrisera ECLBright. Exposure time was 172 seconds.

1 – 1 ng of purified TurboID 2 – 5 ng of purified TurboID 3 – 10 ng of purified TurboID 4 – 25 ng of purified TurboID 5 – 50 ng of purified TurboID 6 – 75 ng of purified TurboID Mark: PageRulerTM Plus Prestained Protein Ladder; ThermoFisher Scientific; MW of TurboID = 35 kDa

1ng, 5 ng, 10 ng, 25 ng, 50 ng, and 75 ng loaded into wells 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively, of purified TurboID in 1x Phosphate Buffer Saline (PBS) were stored at -80°C. Samples were denatured in 1x protein loading dye (0.5% Sodium dodecyl Sulfate, 0.002% Bromophenol Blue, 10% glycerol, and 50 mM Tris-HCl pH6.8) at 95°C for 5 min. Samples were separated on 4-16% gradient SDS-PAGE gel and blotted 1h to a nitrocellulose membrane (pore size of 0.45 um), using a semi-dry transfer.

The blot was washed as above and developed for 2 min with Agrisera ECLBright. Exposure time was 92 seconds.
