Application examples

Application examples Western blot using anti-VDE antibodies in Arabidopsis, Brachypodium and rice

Samples:
R – 10 µL of total protein extract of Oryza sativa (50 mg macerated leaves in 100 µL Lysis Buffer).
B – 10 µL of total protein extract of Brachypodium distachyon (50 mg macerated leaves in 100 µL Lysis Buffer).
A – 10 µL of total protein extract of Arabidopsis thaliana diluted to 1:2 (50 mg macerated leaves in 200 µL 2X Laemmli Buffer). MW marker: NZYColour Protein Marker II from NZYTech.

10 µL of total protein extracted freshly from Arabidopsis thaliana, Brachypodium distachyon, and Oryza sativa with Lysis Buffer (7M Urea, 2M Thiourea, 4% CHAPS, 35 mM Tris), and denatured in 1X Laemmli with 25 mM DTT at 95ºC for 4 min, were separated on 10 % SDS-PAGE and blotted 1h to PVDF membrane (pore size of 0.45 μm, GE Healthcare), using wet transfer. Blot was blocked with Blocking solution containing 5% milk in TBS-T, for 1h/RT with agitation. Blot was incubated in the primary antibody at a dilution of 1:2000 in Blocking solution containing 5% milk in TBS-T, for O/N at 4ºC, with agitation. The antibody solution was decanted, and the blot was washed 3 times for 10 min in TBS-T at RT with agitation. Blot was incubated in secondary antibody (anti-rabbit IgG, horse radish peroxidase conjugated) diluted to 1:20 000 in Blocking solution containing 5% milk in TBS-T, for 1h/RT with agitation. The blot was washed 6 times for 5 min in TBS-T at RT with agitation and developed for 30 seconds with Agrisera ECLSuperBright. Exposure time was 10 seconds.

Background

Background VDE (violaxanthin de-epoxidase) is a part of the xanthophyll (or violaxanthin) cycle for controlling the concentration of zeaxanthin in chloroplasts. This enzyme is catalyzing the two-step mono de-epoxidation reaction. Zeaxanthin induces the dissipation of excitation energy in the chlorophyll of the light-harvesting protein complex of photosystem II.
