110149A5.qxd 1/15/2003 2:49 PM Page 4 Section 1 Introduction The ReadyPrep protein extraction kit (signal) is designed as a simple, rapid and reproducible method to prepare a cellular protein fraction that is enriched in membraneassociated signaling proteins.
4110149A5.qxd 1/15/2003 2:49 PM Page 5 Parton and Simons 1995, Anderson et al. 1992). Due to the lipid composition of these membrane subdomains, these proteins become resistant to solubilization at 4°C with many nonionic detergents such as Triton X-100 and can be selectively recovered from the detergent-insoluble membrane fraction.
4110149A5.qxd 1/15/2003 2:49 PM Page 6 Section 2 Kit Specifications Each ReadyPrep protein extraction kit (signal) provides sufficient reagents to perform 50 extractions of 25–50 mg of cells or tissue. The procedure can easily be scaled up to accommodate larger amounts of cells or tissue.
4110149A5.qxd 1/15/2003 2:49 PM Page 7 • Reducing agent (for example, DTT, TBP, or TCEP) • Carrier ampholytes (for example, Bio-Lyte 3/10 ampholyte) • RC DC™ Protein Assay (Bio-Rad catalog #500-0121 or #500-0122) Section 3 Storage Conditions The unopened kit can be stored at room temperature. Buffer S1, buffer S2, and PSB diluent should be stored at 2–8°C after opening. Use aseptic technique when handling buffer S1, buffer S2 and PSB diluent to prevent contamination.
4110149A5.qxd 1/15/2003 2:49 PM Page 8 Section 4 Instructions for Use Note: Chill buffers S1 and S2 on ice for at least 15 min before beginning (invert bottles several times during the incubation). 1. In a microcentrifuge tube, add 0.5 ml of buffer S1 per 25–50 mg of animal tissue or 0.05 ml of wet cell pellet from sources such as cell culture, yeast, or bacteria. For plant tissue add 0.5 ml of buffer S1 per 0.25 g tissue.
4110149A5.qxd 1/15/2003 2:49 PM Page 9 the sample using 30–40 sec bursts until lysis is complete (typically 3–4 times). Chill the suspension on ice for 1 min between each ultrasonic treatment. Note: Disruption of cells by sonication is dependent on the cell type. For example, E. coli requires longer sonication times than animal cells and tissues.
4110149A5.qxd 1/15/2003 2:49 PM Page 10 7. The final pellet contains the signal proteins. Resuspend the pellet in 0.2–0.3 ml of complete PSB. Vortex the tube 4 to 5 times for 60 seconds each. Incubate the tube at room temperature for 10–15 min vortexing periodically to ensure the pellet is completely dissolved. Centrifuge the sample at maximum speed in a microcentrifuge for 10 minutes at room temperature and collect the clarified supernatant.
4110149A5.qxd 1/15/2003 2:49 PM Page 11 Section 5 Appendix 5.1 Rehydration/Sample Buffer Volume In the final step for this kit, all samples are resuspended in a 2-D rehydration/sample buffer (Section 5.2). To best determine the volume of 2-D rehydration/sample buffer to use, consider the questions listed below.

PSB is a proprietary, strongly chaotropic 2-D rehydration/sample buffer that will solubililze both hydrophilic as well as hydrophobic proteins. Other strongly chaotropic 2-D rehydration/sample buffers (Section 5.2.
