Hi, mon, 
 
Again, I do appreciate your great suggestions! 
 
OMG, really? 
It's really incredible! 
 
It's actually practical suggestions. I do keep in mind once I start such expts. 
 
>You can also use a combination method of DSP-crosslinking/immuno-precipitaion after APEX2-labeling. 
 
Yeah, that what I am thinking about:) 
Thanks again mon-san, you are awesome scientist! 
 
 
Indeed, yesterday I just started V5-APEX2-fused protein X experiments.  
 
I transiently expressed Protein X-V5-APEX2 into 293 cells. 
After 24 hrs, I added phenyl biotin (500 uM) for 30 min. 
 
And then, I additionally added final 1 mM H2O2 for 1 min. 
 
After that, I washed the cells with PBS containing NaN3, Na Ascorbate and Trolox as quenchers. 
 
Then, I lysed the cells with 1% triton X-100 based lysis buffer followed by centrifuge and adding SDS sample buffer. 
 
Today, I tried to detect biotinized proteins in lysates with HRP-streptavidin. 
 
But I could not see any bands. 
By contrast, I could detect biotinized ladder in positive control lane (biotinized isotype IgG).  
 
That means HRP-avidin works fine. 
The problem was biotinization did not occur. |
