How to prepare protein interaction partners for MS analysis

Combined use of ChromoTek's GFP-Trap for immunoprecipitation and PreOmics iST sample preparation kit for reproducible identification of proteins and interaction partners.

Immunoprecipitation (IP) followed by mass spectrometry (MS) analysis is a powerful method to identify interaction partners of a protein of interest. However, sometimes it can be difficult to obtain reliable results.

Now, the combined use of ChromoTek  GFP-Trap   for immunoprecipitation and PreOmics iST sample preparation kit is in fact a straight forward, reproducible, and reliable approach to identify protein interaction partners. It even preserves posttranslational modification (PTM) depending protein-protein interactions.

In a recent applications note we have demonstrated how protein interaction partners of PARP1 can be identified: We have immunoprecipitated eGFP-tagged PARP1 protein and its interacting partners using the GFP-Trap® Magnetic Particles M-270   and subsequently processed the pulldown for MS analysis following the instructions of the iST kit.
