One should perform an initial sonication time course experiment; evalution of the tests may be required to determine optimal shearing conditions. • Sample viscosity may have a major impact on sonication results. Careful homogenization of chromatin sample is strongly recommended before and during sonication processing. For optimal results, samples should be gently vortexed before and after performing 5 or 10 sonication cycles (depending on the protocol), followed by a short centrifugation at 4°C to recover sample volume at the bottom of the tube. When working with large cell numbers careful pipetting can help ensure better homogenization but it will not replace the vortexing step mentioned before. • Always use the highest available power setting (e.g. H: High Power on the Bioruptor® Plus) for all your chromatin shearing experiments. • After shearing, it is essential to produce chromatin fragments of a size suitable for ChIP and subsequent analysis of the immunoprecipitated DNA. Although chromatin fragments from 100 - 1000 bp are recommended for ChIP PCR or ChIP qPCR assays, the optimal size range of chromatin for ChIP-seq analysis should be between 100 and 600 bp. Larger chromatin fragments can negatively influence ChIP-seq data quality. Tube holders & tubes for Bioruptor® chromatin shearing For chromatin shearing, depending on the final shearing volume, we recommend the following tube holders: • From 100 – 300 µl: 1.5 ml tube holder for Bioruptor® Standard & Bioruptor® Plus (Cat. No. UCD-pack 1.5) with 1.5 ml TPX microtubes for Chromatin shearing (Cat. No. M-50001) (Figure 1). • From 50 – 100 µl: 0.5/0.65 ml tube holder for Bioruptor® Standard, Bioruptor® Plus and the corresponding shearing tubes (Cat. No. WA-005-0500) (Figure 2). To use the tube holder, remove the lower part by turning counterclockwise. Then place microtubes in the unit. Attach the lower part to the upper part of the adaptor. To guarantee homogeneity of chromatin shearing, the tube holders should always be completely filled with tubes. Never leave empty spaces in the tube holder. Fill the empty spaces with tubes containing the same volume of distilled water. 4 Protocols and Guidelines Figure 1: Superior chromatin shearing results obtained with Diagenode’s TPX 1.5 ml tubes compared to standard 1.5 ml tubes HeLa cells are fixed with 1% formaldehyde (for 8 min at room temperature (RT)). 100,000 cells are resuspended in 130 µl of buffer B from Diagenode’s Chromatin Shearing Optimization kit - High SDS (Cat. No. AA-003-0100) prior to chromatin shearing. Samples are sheared during 1, 2, 3, or 4 rounds of 5 cycles of 30 sec ON/30 sec OFF with the Bioruptor® PLUS combined with the Bioruptor® Water cooler (Cat. No. BioAcc-cool) & Single Cycle Valve (Cat. No. VB-100-0001) at HIGH power setting (position H) using 1.5 ml TPX microtubes (Cat. No. M-50001) or 1.5 ml standard tubes (Brand B). The sheared chromatin is decross-linked prior to agarose gel electrophoresis. 10 µl of DNA are analyzed on a 1.5% agarose gel. The left and right lanes show the 100 bp DNA molecular weight marker (MW). As shown on the left part of the image, the optimal shearing conditions correspond to 3 rounds of 5 cycles (30 sec ON/30 sec OFF; means 1 min ON & OFF time) (fragments between 100 and 600 bp) using TPX 1.5 ml tubes. Figure 2: Efficient chromatin shearing with the Bioruptor® PLUS using small sonication volumes (50 µl) HeLa cells are fixed with 1% formaldehyde (for 8 min at RT). 500,000 cells (lanes 1, 2, and 3) are resuspended in 50 µl of buffer B from Diagenode’s Chromatin Shearing Optimization kit - High SDS (Cat. No. AA-003-0100) prior to chromatin shearing. Samples are sheared for several rounds of sonication cycles of 30 sec ON/30 sec OFF with the Bioruptor® PLUS combined with the Bioruptor® Water cooler (Cat. No. BioAcc-cool) & Single Cycle Valve (Cat. No. VB-100-0001) at HIGH power setting (position H) using shearing tubes (Cat. No. WA-005-0500). Between each sonication round, the samples are vortexed gently and then shortly centrifuged at 4°C to recover sample volume at the bottom of the tube. The sheared chromatin is decross-linked prior to agarose gel electrophoresis. 10 µl of DNA (equivalent to 500 ng as measured with Qubit) are analyzed on a 1.5% agarose gel. Left panel: The left lane shows the 100 bp DNA molecular weight marker (MW). Lane 1: 2x 5 cycles (each 30 sec ON/30 sec OFF); Lane 2: 3x 5 cycles (each of 30 sec ON/30 sec OFF); Lane 3: 4x 5 cycles (each 30 sec ON/30 sec OFF). Right panel: Gel image was captured with Gel Logic 1500 Imaging System (KODAK). Lane 1 was scanned using Kodak software (V.4.0.5) to estimate DNA size distribution. Using shearing volume as low as 50 µl, optimal DNA size range for ChIP and ChIP-seq analysis can be easily obtained using Bioruptor® shearing tubes (Cat. No. WA-005-0500) (see lane 3). 5 Protocols and Guidelines Important additional comments about chromatin shearing 1. Cross-linking duration • The extent of cross-linking is critical for the efficient disruption of fixed cells and also affects DNA yield and average size of chromatin fragments. Over-cross-linked chromatin will not produce small fragments, even by prolonged sonication and should be avoided. • Fix cells for 8 min (default time) and up to 10 min at room temperature (RT), always stop the reaction by glycine and perform thorough washes to remove all traces of formaldehyde. Over fixation may have numerous negative effects on ChIP and/or ChIP-seq experiments and should be carefully monitored. First, longer fixation times (e.g. 10 - 30 min) may cause cells to form aggregates that do not sonicate efficiently. Second, for some antibodies, longer cross-linking time may increase background by increasing non-specific binding of epitopes to antibody. Finally, over fixation has been shown to generate artefacts such as sonication resistant 1.5 - 1.7 kb fragments. 2. Sonication time • Extensive sonication may alter antigenic properties and lead to loss of antigenecity during the immunoprecipitation step. Ideally, the least time course conditions that gives satisfactory results should be used (Figure 3). • For optimal fragmentation assessment, a serial dilution of sheared chromatin from 100 ng to 500 ng should be run on a 1.2 - 1.5% agarose gel (ideally the gel should be pre-stained). If only one unique sample has to be tested, we strongly recommend using de-cross-linked chromatin DNA to avoid any misleading size assessment using agarose gel electrophoresis (e.g. from 400,000 - 500,000 cells) (Figure 4). 3. Impact of cells on chromatin shearing • It is best to prepare samples of sheared chromatin from fresh cells and directly use them in ChIP, especially when doing ChIP-seq. However, it is also possible to freeze cells and shear chromatin another day. Pellets of frozen cells are by far more stable than sheared frozen chromatin samples (fresh cells > frozen cells >> frozen chromatin).

  • Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
    Laboratory for Environmental Pathogen Research Department of Environmental Sciences University of Toledo Agarose gel electrophoresis Background information Agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA is used to determine the presence and distinguish the type of nucleic acids obtained after extraction and to analyze restriction digestion products. Desired DNA fragments can be physically isolated for various purposes such as sequencing, probe preparation, or for cloning fragments into other vectors. Both agarose and polyacrylamide gels are used for DNA analysis. Agarose gels are usually run to size larger fragments (greater than 200 bp) and polyacrylamide gels are run to size fragments less than 200 bp. Typically agarose gels are used for most purposes and polyacrylamide gels are used when small fragments, such as digests of 16S rRNA genes, are being distinguished. There are also specialty agaroses made by FMC (e.g., Metaphor) for separating small fragments. Regular agarose gels may range in concentration from 0.6 to 3.0%. Pouring gels at less or greater than these percentages presents handling problems (e.g., 0.4% agarose for genomic DNA partial digests requires a layer of supporting 0.8% gel). For normal samples make agarose gels at 0.7%. The chart below illustrates the optimal concentrations for fragment size separation. The values listed are approximate and can vary depending on the reference that is used. If you do not know your fragment sizes then the best approach is to start with a 0.7% gel and change subsequently if the desired separation is not achieved. Nucleic acids must be stained prior to visualization. Most laboratories use ethidium bromide but other stains (e.g., SYBR green, GelStar) are available.

  • Analysis of Proteins by Immunoprecipitation
    Laboratory Procedures, PJ Hansen Laboratory - University of Florida Analysis of Proteins by Immunoprecipitation P.J. Hansen1 1Dept. of Animal Sciences, University of Florida Introduction Immunoprecipitation is a procedure by which peptides or proteins that react specifically with an antibody are removed from solution and examined for quantity or physical characteristics (molecular weight, isoelectric point, etc.). As usually practiced, the name of the procedure is a misnomer since removal of the antigen from solution does not depend upon the formation of an insoluble antibody-antigen complex. Rather, antibody-antigen complexes are removed from solution by addition of an insoluble form of an antibody binding protein such as Protein A, Protein G or second antibody (Figure 1). Thus, unlike other techniques based on immunoprecipitation, it is not necessary to determine the optimal antibody dilution that favors spontaneously-occurring immunoprecipitates. Figure 1. Schematic representation of the principle of immunoprecipitation. An antibody added to a mixture of radiolabeled (*) and unlabeled proteins binds specifically to its antigen (A) (left tube). Antibody- antigen complex is absorbed from solution through the addition of an immobilized antibody binding protein such as Protein A-Sepharose beads (middle panel). Upon centrifugation, the antibody-antigen complex is brought down in the pellet (right panel). Subsequent liberation of the antigen can be achieved by boiling the sample in the presence of SDS. Typically, the antigen is made radioactive before the immunoprecipitation procedure, either by culturing cells with radioactive precursor or by labeling the molecule after synthesis has been completed (e.g., by radioiodination to iodinate tyrosine residues or by sodium [3H]borohydride reduction to label carbohydrate).

  • Microchip Electrophoresis
    Entry Microchip Electrophoresis Sammer-ul Hassan Mechanical Engineering, University of Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ, UK; [email protected] Definition: Microchip electrophoresis (MCE) is a miniaturized form of capillary electrophoresis. Electrophoresis is a common technique to separate macromolecules such as nucleic acids (DNA, RNA) and proteins. This technique has become a routine method for DNA size fragmenting and separating protein mixtures in most laboratories around the world. The application of higher voltages in MCE achieves faster and efficient electrophoretic separations. Keywords: electrophoresis; microchip electrophoresis; microfluidics; microfabrications 1. Introduction Electrophoresis is an analytical technique that has been applied to resolve complex mixtures containing DNA, proteins, and other chemical or biological species. Since its discovery in the 1930s by Arne [1], traditional slab gel electrophoresis (SGE) has been widely used until today. Meanwhile, new separation techniques based on electrophoresis continue to be developed in the 21st century, especially in life sciences. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) provides a higher resolution of the separated analytes and allows the automation of the operation. Thus, it has been widely used to characterize proteins and peptides [2], biopharmaceutical drugs [3], nucleic acids [4], and the genome [5]. The development of microfabrication techniques has led to the further miniaturization of electrophoresis known Citation: Hassan, S.-u. Microchip as microchip electrophoresis (MCE). MCE offers many advantages over conventional Electrophoresis. Encyclopedia 2021, 1, capillary electrophoresis techniques such as the integration of different separation functions 30–41. https://dx.doi.org/10.3390/ onto the chip, the consumption of small amounts of sample and reagents, faster analyses encyclopedia1010006 and efficient separations [6,7].

While multiple methods exist to visualize the separated protein bands on gels, one of most popular methods of staining the proteins is with Coomassie dye. A more recent approach is to use Bio-Rad stain-free technology for visualizing protein bands with UV light and achieve similar or greater sensitivity than that of Coomassie dye. Here, we developed a method to further amplify the sensitivity of stain-free gels using carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) staining. We compared our novel method using foetal bovine serum samples with Coomassie dye, standard stain-free gels, and silver staining.

    Novus-lu-2945 Western Blot Handbook Learn more | novusbio.com Learn more | novusbio.com INTRODUCTION TO WESTERN BLOTTING Western blotting uses antibodies to identify individual proteins within a cell or tissue lysate. Antibodies bind to highly specific sequences of amino acids, known as epitopes. Because amino acid sequences vary from protein to protein, western blotting analysis can be used to identify and quantify a single protein in a lysate that contains thousands of different proteins First, proteins are separated from each other based on their size by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis. Next, the proteins are transferred from the gel to a membrane by application of an electrical current. The membrane can then be processed with primary antibodies specific for target proteins of interest. Next, secondary antibodies bound to enzymes are applied and finally a substrate that reacts with the secondary antibody-bound enzyme is added for detection of the antibody/protein complex. This step-by-step guide is intended to serve as a starting point for understanding, performing, and troubleshooting a standard western blotting protocol.
