[Abstract] The Rab family of small GTPases are essential regulators of membrane trafficking events. As with other small GTPase families, Rab GTPases cycle between an inactive GDP- bound state and an active GTP-bound state. Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) promote Rab activation with the exchange of bound GDP for GTP, while GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) regulate Rab inactivation with GTP hydrolysis. Numerous methods have been established to monitor the activation status of Rab GTPases. Of those, FRET-based methods are used to identify when and where a Rab GTPase is activated in cells. Unfortunately, the generation of such probes is complex, and only a limited number of Rabs have been probed this way. Biochemical purification of activated Rabs from cell or tissue extracts is easily ...
[摘要] 小GTP酶的Rab家族是膜运输事件的必要调节剂。与其他小GTP酶家族一样，Rab GTP酶在不活动的GDP结合状态和活性GTP结合状态之间循环。鸟嘌呤核苷酸交换因子（GEF）促进Rab激活与交换绑定GDP GTP，而GTPase激活蛋白（GAP）调节Rab失活与GTP水解。已经建立了许多方法来监测Rab GTPases的活化状态。其中，基于FRET的方法用于鉴定细胞中Rab GTPase在何时和何地被激活。不幸的是，这种探针的产生是复杂的，并且只有有限数量的Rab已经以这种方式探测。来自细胞或组织提取物的活化的Rabs的生物化学纯化通过使用已知的Rab效应结构域以下拉特定的GTP结合的Rab形式是容易实现的。虽然这种方法不是理想的详细的亚细胞定位，它可以提供Rab活动的时间分辨率。越来越多的特异性效应物的鉴定现在允许在特定条件下测试许多Rab GTP酶的活化水平。在这里，我们描述了一种亲和纯化方法使用GST融合APPL1（一种已知的RAB21效应）来测试哺乳动物细胞中的RAB21激活。该方法成功地用于测定RAB21激活状态下营养丰富与饥饿条件下的变化，并测试在此过程中MTMR13 RAB21 GEF的需求。

[Abstract] Immunoprecipitation (IP) is a biochemical technique to precipitate a protein out of solution using an antigen that can specifically bind to that protein. IP can be performed to isolate and concentrate one particular protein from a sample of thousands of different proteins. IP is also readily performed to pull down interacting proteins of complexes out of solution. This protocol outlines the methods used to IP proteins in whole worm lysates and their preparation for detection on Western blots using denaturing conditions.
[摘要] 免疫沉淀（IP）是使用可以特异性结合该蛋白质的抗原将蛋白质从溶液中沉淀出来的生物化学技术。 IP可以从数千种不同蛋白质的样品中分离和浓缩一种特定蛋白质。 IP也容易进行以从溶液中取出复合物的相互作用蛋白。 该协议概述了用于IP蛋白在整个蠕虫裂解物中的方法及其用于使用变性条件在蛋白质印迹上检测的方法。
