Summary
RII subunits are autophosphorylated by the catalytic subunits with 32P. The radioactive RII subunits are used to hybridize with a western blot membrane.

- 2. Incubate on ice for 10 min.
- 3. Add 5 µL 1 mM ATP solution (ATP conc. now 10 µM)
- 4. Incubate for 50 min. on ice
- 5. Add 70 µL Dextran blue (of 20 mg/mL solution)
- 6. Remove excess nucleotides by running over a Sephadex G50-collumn
Removing excess nucleotides
- 7. 20 g Sephadex G50 material is incubated in 400 mL PBS ON @ RT
- a. Remove material not settled using Pasteur pipette
- b. Degassed material is stored @ 4 °C add for preservation 0.01% NaN3
- 8. The material is poured in a 10 mL sterile pipette (closed with glass marble)
- 9. Put 30-50 mL PBS with 1 mg/mL BSA through the column
- 10. Take 5.7 µL (1%) of sample for Build-in-rate
- 11. Put the rest of the sample over the collumn
- 12. Afterwards fill the column with PBS
- 13. Both Blue and clear fractions are collected
- a. After eluting the blue front the column is washed with 2-3 mL PBS
- b. Depending on the properties of the column, the RII subunits should run with the Dextran blue
- 14. To determine build-in-rate the 5.7 µL collected @ #10 and 1% (3 µL) of both fractions are used for liquid scintillation counting (2 mL scintillation fluid)
Hybridization
- 15. Incubate membrane ON @ 4 °C or 1h @ RT in blocking solution
- 16. Incubate membrane for 4-6 hours @ RT while shaking with 500 µL [32P]-RII subunits (10×106 cpm / membrane) (diluted in blocking solution)
- 17. Wash the membrane 4x 15 min. in blocking solution
- 18. Wash the membrane 2x 10 min. in wash buffer
- 19. Wrap the membrane in foil and prepare X-Rax (röntgen) film
- a. Expose for 3 hours
- b. Expose ON
