: 详细介绍; Gαi Pull-Down Activation Assay Kit
Cat. # 83001
Introduction
A. Background
A structurally diverse repertoire of ligands, from photons to large peptides, activates G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to elicit their physiological functions. Ligand-bound GPCRs, in turn, function as guanine nucleotide exchange factors catalyzing the exchange of GDP bound on the Gα subunit with GTP in the presence of Gβγ, causing the dissociation of the Gα subunit from the Gβγ dimer to form two functional units (Gα and Gβγ). Both Gα and Gβγ subunits signal to various cellular signaling pathways. Based on the sequence and functional homologies, G proteins are grouped into four families: Gs, Gi, Gq, and G12.
Gαi family is the largest family of G proteins. They relay signals from many GPCRs to regulate various biological functions. There were no direct methods to measure the activation of Gαi Proteins by receptors (until this assay kit). Most reports used one of the downstream pathways, i.e. the inhibition of adenylyl cyclases, as a readout. Alternatively, sensitivity to pertussis toxin (PTX) was used as an indicator of possible Gαi proteins involved in a signaling pathway.
B. Assay PrincipleThe Gαi Activation Assay Kit uses configuration-specific anti-Gαi-GTP Mouse monoclonal antibody to measure Gαi-GTP levels in cell extracts or in vitro GTPγS loading Gαi activation assays. Anti-Gαi-GTP mouse monoclonal antibody is first incubated with cell lysates containing Gαi-GTP. Next, the GTP-bound Gαi is pulled down by protein A/G agarose. Finally, the precipitated Gαi-GTP is detected through immunoblot analysis using anti-Gαi mouse monoclonal antibody.C. Kit Components

E. Example Results
The following figure demonstrates example results seen with the Gαi Activation Assay Kit. For reference only.
Gαi Activation Assay. A. CHO cells were transfected with wild-type Gαi1 (lanes 1 and 2) or constitutively active Gαi1-Q204L (lane 3). Cell lysates were treated with GDP (lane 1) or GTPγS (lane 3). Lysates were then incubated with an anti-Gαi-GTP monoclonal antibody (Cat. # 26901) (top panel). The precipitated Gαi-GTP was immunoblotted with an anti-Gαi monoclonal antibody (Cat. # 26003). The bottom panel shows the Western blot with anti-Gαi monoclonal antibody (Cat. # 26003) of the cell lysates. B. HEK293 cells stably expressing human m2 mAChR were treated with (lane 2) or without (lane 1) carbachol. Cell lysates were then incubated with an anti-active Gαi monoclonal antibody (Cat. No. 26901) (top panel). The precipitated Gαi-GTP was immunoblotted with an anti-Gαi rabbit polyclonal antibody (Cat. # 21006). The bottom panel shows the Western blot with anti-tubulin of the cell lysates.
Assay Procedure
A. Reagent Preparation1X Assay/Lysis Buffer: Mix the 5X Stock (Cat. # 30301) briefly and dilute to 1X in deionized water. Just prior to usage, add protease inhibitors such as 1 mM PMSF, 10 µg/mL leupeptin, or 10 µg/mL aprotinin.B. Sample PreparationAdherent Cells
1. Culture cells (one 10-cm plate, ~107 cells) to approximately 80-90% confluence. Stimulate the cells with activator or inhibitor as desired.
2. Aspirate the culture media and wash twice with ice-cold PBS.
3. Completely remove the final PBS wash and add ice-cold 1X Assay/Lysis Buffer (See Reagent Preparation) to the cells (0.5-1 mL per 10 cm tissue culture plate).
4. Place the culture plates on ice for 10-20 minutes.
5. Detach the cells from the plates by scraping with a cell scraper.
6. Transfer the lysates to appropriate size tubes and place on ice.
7. If nuclear lysis occurs, the cell lysates may become viscous and difficult to pipette. If this occurs, lysates can be passed through a 27½-gauge syringe needle 3-4 times to shear the genomic DNA.
8. Clear the lysates by centrifuging at 12,000 x g and 4°C for 10 minutes.
9. Collect the supernatant and store the sample (~1-2 mg of total protein) on ice for immediate use, or snap freeze and store at -70°C for future use.

9. Wash the beads 3 times with 0.5 mL of 1X Assay/Lysis Buffer, centrifuging and aspirating each time.
10. After the third wash, pellet the beads through centrifugation and carefully remove all the supernatant.
11. Resuspend the bead pellet in 20 µL of 2X reducing SDS- PAGE sample buffer.
12. Boil the sample for 5 minutes.
13. Centrifuge it at 5,000 x g for 10 seconds.
E. Western Blot Analysis
1. Load 15 µL/well of pull-down supernatant to a polyacrylamide gel (17%). It is recommended to include a pre-stained MW standard (as an indicator of a successful transfer in step 3 below).
