Xenopus laevis Cdc45-FLAG interactions on chromatin during DNA replication
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The aim of the project was to purify Xenopus replisome from replicationg chromatin assembled in Xenopus laevis egg extract. To this end recombinant Cdc45-TEV-His10-FLAG5 was expressed in bacteria and purified. 4 ml of Xenopus laevis egg extract was activated into interphase and supplemented with 10 ng/µl of demembranated sperm DNA, 70 nM recombinant Cdc45, 40 µM aphidicolin, 5 mM caffeine and incubated at 23°C for 60 min. Chromatin was isolated in ANIB100 buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.6, 100 mM KOAc, 10 mM MgOAc, 2.5 mM Mg-ATP, 0.5 mM spermidine, 0.3 mM spermine, 1 µg/ml of each aprotinin, leupeptin and pepstatin, 25 mM β-glycerophosphate, 0.1 mM Na3VO4 and 10 mM 2-chloroacetamide) as described previously (Gillespie, Gambus et al. 2012). Chromatin pellets re-suspended in ANIB100 containing 20% sucrose. Protein complexes were released from chromatin by digestion with 4 U/µl benzonase nuclease (E1014-25KU, Sigma) and sonicated for 5 min using a sonicator with settings: 30 sec on, 30 sec off, low power (Bioruptor Diagenode UCD-200). Immunoprecipitation was performed using 100 µl of anti-FLAG M2 magnetic beads (Sigma-Aldrich). Before elution the sample was washed four times with 1 ml of ANIB100 20% sucrose, ANIB100 20% sucrose 0.1% Triton X-100, ANIB100 and elution buffer (25 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 100 mM KAc, 5 mM MgAc, 1 mM ATP and 0.02% NP-40), respectively. The sample was eluted adding 250 µM 3xFLAG peptide (Stratech) to 200 µl of elution buffer and a small proportion of it analysed by mass spectrometry.
