Renaturation of telomere-binding proteins after the fractionation by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
نویسنده
چکیده
A simple method for identification and characterization of telomere-binding proteins is described in this article. After Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate-Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), proteins are eluted, renatured and used for retardation analysis with labelled oligonucleotides corresponding to human and plant of telomeric sequences. We show here that this method is efficient to recover sequence-specific DNA-binding abilities of putative telomere-binding proteins.

Use of DNA ladders for reproducible protein fractionation by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) for quantitative proteomics.
In proteomics, one-dimensional (1D) sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) is widely used for protein fractionation prior to mass spectrometric analysis to enhance the dynamic range of analysis and to improve the identification of low-abundance proteins. Such protein prefractionation works well for quantitation strategies if the proteins are labeled prior to separa...
متن کاملElectrophoretically driven SDS removal and protein fractionation in the shotgun analysis of membrane proteomes.
SDS is mostly used to enhance the solubilization and extraction of membrane proteins due to its strong detergency and low cost. Nevertheless, SDS interferes with the subsequent procedures and needs to be removed from the samples. In this work, a special gradient gel electrophoresis (GGE) system was developed to remove SDS from the SDS-solubilized protein samples. As a proof-of-principle experim...

Proteins from Sendai virus particles and from infected cells were analyzed in a protein-blotting protein-overlay assay for their interaction with in vitro-synthesized, [35S]methionine-labeled viral proteins NP, P, and M. After separation by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, transfer onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes, and renaturation, the immobilized proteins wer...
متن کاملRibonuclease H renaturation gel assay using a fluorescent-labeled substrate.
Ribonucleases H (RNases H) are enzymes that specifically degrade the RNA of RNA-DNA hybrids. These enzymes are involved in DNA replication, reverse transcription (RT) and antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotide-mediated arrest of translation. One of the most valuable tools for assaying RNase H activity is the renaturation gel assay with which such activities can be detected using purified protein pr...

We developed a method for the detection of phosphatase activity using fluorogenic substrates after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. When phosphatases such as Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase phosphatase (CaMKP), protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C), protein phosphatase 5 (PP5), and alkaline phosphatase were resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the absence of SDS and the gel was...
