This video demonstrates a competition assay to study GTPase-binding protein partners. Utilizing nucleotide-bound GTPase protein immobilized on magnetic beads, the competitive binding between two interacting protein partners for the same binding site on the GTPase can be studied to assess the binding affinities of the protein partners.
Protocol
1. Purification of GST-tagged GTPase Culture an E. coli strain such as BL21 transformed with pGEX-Rac1 O/N at 37 °C, shaking at 220 rpm, in 500 ml of autoinduction media (25 mM Na2HPO4, 25 mM KH2PO4, 50 mM NH4Cl, 5 mM Na2SO4, 2 mM MgSO4, 2 mM CaCl2, 0.5% Glycerol, 0.05% Glucose, 0.2% Lactose, 5 g Tryptone, 2.5 g Yeast Extract, 100 µg/ml Ampicillin). Harvest bacteria …
