Abstract
Isolate microsomes from Sf9 cells expressing ATP13A2
Materials
Phosphate-buffered Saline (ph 7.4)
137 mM NaCl
2.7 mM KCl
10 mM Na2HPO4
1.8 mM KH2PO4
Lysis Buffer
10 mM Tris pH 7.5
0.5 mM MgCl2
2 mM DTT
0.1 mM PMSF
Plus protease inhibitors (5 µg/mL aprotinin, 5 µg/mL leupeptin, 1 µg/mL pepstatin A)
Resuspension Buffer
10 mM Tris pH 7.5
0.5 M sucrose
2 mM DTT
0.5 mM PMSF
Storage Buffer
0.25 M sucrose
Plus protease inhibitors (5 µg/mL aprotinin, 5 µg/mL leupeptin, 1 µg/mL pepstatin A, 2 mM PMSF)
Troubleshooting
Thaw Sf9 cell pellets at room temperature (typical size around 5g for 0.4 L of culture)
All subsequent steps should be carried out at 4 °C
Wash pellet twice with 15 mL of Phosphate-buffered Saline, centrifuge at 1000 x g, 4°C, 00:07:00 in between washes
7m
Gently resuspend by inverting tube and pipetting
Collect cells after final wash by centrifugation at 1500 x g, 4°C, 00:07:00
7m
Resuspend cells in 10 mL Lysis Buffer
Swell cells in Lysis Buffer by incubating on ice for 00:10:00 to 00:15:00
25m
Lyse with Dounce homogenizer, 40 strokes tight
Dilute homogenate in equal volume Resuspension Buffer and mix
Further lyse with Dounce homogenizer, 20 strokes tight
Spin down at 1000 x g, 4°C, 00:10:00 to remove nuclear fraction and unbroken cells and save supernatant
10m
Spin down at 10000 x g, 4°C, 00:20:00 (Sorvall SS-34 rotor) to remove mitochondrial-lysosomal fraction and save supernatant
20m
Transfer supernatant to ultracentrifuge tubes and spin down at 200000 x g, 4°C, 00:35:00 (Beckman Type 45 Ti rotor) to collect microsomes
35m
Resuspend microsomal pellet in Storage Buffer
Measure microsome concentrations based on total protein concentration using the Bradford Assay and bovine serum albumin as a standard
Flash-freeze in aliquots of 25-100 μL at concentrations between 2-5 mg/mL using liquid nitrogen and store at -80C until use
