Abstract
This protocol details the crude subcellular fractionation of FAM177A1-GFP expressing cells.
Materials
Fractionation buffer:
AB
Tris, pH 7.425 mM
NaCl150 mM
Protease inhibitor
Crude Subcellular fractionation
2d 1h 5m

Note
All preparations were performed On ice .

Culture and transfect HeLa cells as described in dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.eq2lyp55mlx9/v1

24:00:00 -48:00:00 after transfection, wash cells in 6 well plates with PBS.

2d
Add 200 µL PBS (or fractionation buffer) to each well.

Scrape cells to release from well and transfer to a 1.7 mL eppendorph tube with additional 100 µL fractionation buffer wash.

Spin the lysate at 1500 rpm, 00:05:00 in a benchtop centrifuge.

5m
Remove the supernatant and resuspend cell pellet in 1 mL of cold fractionation buffer.

Homogenize resuspended cells with cell cracker (Isobiotec; 8-12 strokes), 1 mL at a time.

Wash with 1 mL fractionation buffer between samples.

Always use new syringes for each sample.
Ultracentrifuge lysates in a Beckman-Coulter table-top ultracentrifuge (TLA100 rotor) at 50000 rpm, 4°C, 01:00:00 to pellet membrane.

1h
After the centrifugation, transfer the supernatant to a new 1.7 mL Eppendorf tube and save it for western blot analysis.

Solubilize the membrane fractions from the bottom of the tubes using 4X Laemni buffer for western blot analysis.
