Application example
360 µg/well of Arabidopsis thaliana protein extracted from leaf using TCA-protein precipitation (for method check protocol tab) and saturated in 8M urea were separated on 15% SDS-PAGE and blotted for 1hour to 0.2 µm nitrocellulose at 100V using wet transfer system. Blots were blocked with 0.5% cold fish gelatin for 1hr at room temp with agitation. Blot was incubated in the primary antibody (anti-H3) at a dilution of 1:2500 for an hour at RT with agitation. The blots were washed with 3X 15min TBS-TT at RT with agitation. Blots as incubated in the secondary antibody (goat anti-rabbit DyLight® 800 conjugated, AS12 2460, Agrisera) 1:5000 dilution for 30min at RT with agitation and washed 1X with TBSTT for 15min, 1X with TBST for 15min before scanning with the ODyssey IRD scanner.

-
Additional information: There can be a reaction with NEB broad range prestained protein ladder depending upon secondary antibody used.
AGO6 accumulates to lower levels in the nrpd1a mutant (Havecker at el. 2010). In addition, a non-specific band migrates to a similar location and thus protein was run on a 6% denaturing gel to obtain good separation.
If other secondary antibody is used than in the figure below, cross-reacting pattern can be different.
Additional information (application): AGO6 expression is cell-specific. Seedlings can be used as a negative control - Background
-
Background: AGO6 (Argonaute 6) belongs to a group of argonaute proteins which are catalytic component of the RNA-incudes silencing complex (RISC). This protein complex is responsible for the gene silencing (RNAi).

TCA/Acetone protein precipitation method for plant proteins
- Grind plant tissue in a liquid nitrogen.
- Continue grinding with 10% TCA solution in acetone (ice cold).
- Precipitate overnight in -20C.
- Spin at 4°C for 1min, 17k rpm > wash with ice cold acetone until you obtain a white pellet.
- Dissolve the pellet in buffer of choice (for example 8M urea containing 5mM DTT, or denaturate in SDS protein loading buffer for 10 min. at 70°C)
- Clarify supernatant
- Measure protein concentration.
- Proceed with a western blot.
Example of a western blot result obtained with this method, which allows high protein load per well, can be found below.
360 µg/well of Arabidopsis thaliana protein extracted by TCA-acetone precipitation from floral tissue and saturated in 8M urea were separated on 15% SDS-PAGE and blotted for 1hour to 0.2 µm nitrocellulose at 100V using wet transfer system. Blots were blocked with 0.5% cold fish gelatin for 1hr at room temp with agitation. Blot was incubated in the primary antibody at a dilution of 1:2500 for an hour at RT with agitation. The blots were washed with 3X 15min TBS-TT at RT with agitation. Blots as incubated in the secondary antibody (DayLight 800) 1:5000 dilution for 30 min. at RT with agitation and washed 1X with TBSTT for 15 min, 1X with TBST for 15min before scanning with the ODyssey IRD scanner.
