Protein Purification-free Method of Binding Affinity Determination by Microscale Thermophoresis

Microscale thermophoresis (MST) can be widely used for determination of binding affinity without purification of the target protein from cell lysates. The protocol involves overexpression of the GFP-fused protein, cell lysis in non-denaturing conditions, and detection of MST signal in the presence of varying concentrations of the...

Comparing the Affinity of GTPase-binding Proteins using Competition Assays

This protocol compares the relative affinities of binding partners for Rho-family GTPases, including Rac1. In vivo, Rac1-binding proteins compete for a single binding interface, the conformation of which is dictated by a bound nucleotide. The nucleotide is both important and difficult to control experimentally, due to the high hydrolysis...

RNA-Protein Pull-Down Assay to Isolate RNA-Binding Proteins via Affinity Extraction

This video demonstrates an in vitro RNA pull-down assay to identify RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), which interact with the adenylate-uridylate-rich element (ARE) sequences in mRNA. The target RBPs from a cell lysate are mixed with an RNA probe to form RNA-protein complexes. The complexes are isolated via affinity purification utilizing the affinity of the desthiobiotin label of the RNA probe to a streptavidin-labeled magnetic...
