Protocol for Colorimetric Assay to Identify Putative Ribofuranosylaminobenzene 5'-Phosphate Synthase Genes. The production of active RFAP synthase from Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus was achieved by coexpression of the gene MTH0830 with a molecular chaperone. This is the first direct biochemical identification of a methanogen gene that codes for an active RFAP synthase. - [Read Colorimetric Assay to Identify Putative Ribofuranosylaminobenzene 5'-Phosphate Synthase Genes]

Category: Immunology: Immunoprecipitation Protocols: Immunoprecipitation of Radiolabeled Cells Protocols

Coimmunoprecipitation is most commonly used to test whether two proteins of interest are associated in vivo, but it can also be used to identify novel interacting partners of a target protein. In both cases, the cells, which may have been labeled with [35S]methionine, are harvested and lysed under conditions that preserve protein-protein interactions. The target protein is specifically immunoprecipitated from the cell extracts, and the immunoprecipitates are fractionated by SDS-PAGE. - [Read Identification of Associated Proteins by Coimmunoprecipitation Protocol]

To identify the YAC subclones containing both a human insert and a portion of either the left or right arm of the pYAC4 vector. Identification of these clones is necessary in order to do YAC chromosome walking, and is also useful in the determination of whether a particular YAC clone has a contiguous human insert or whether a co-cloning event has occurred. Vector arm sequences are identified using pBR322 fragments from a BamHI-PvuII double digest. - [Read Identification of End Clones in YAC Subclone Libraries Protocol]
