Gα13 Pull-Down Activation Assay Kit
Cat. # 80401
Introduction
A. Background
A structurally diverse repertoire of ligands, from photons to large peptides, activates GPCRs to elicit their physiological functions. Ligand-bound GPCRs, in turn, function as guanine nucleotide exchange factors catalyzing the exchange of GDP bound on the Gα subunit with GTP in the presence of Gβγ, causing the dissociation of the Gα subunit from the Gβγ dime to form two functional units (Gα and Gβγ). Both Gα and Gβγ subunits signal to various cellular signaling pathways. Based on the sequence and functional homologies, G proteins are grouped into four families: Gs, Gi, GGq, and G12. As increasing numbers of effectors and interacting proteins for these G proteins have been identified, the physiological processes in which G proteins participate are multiplying.
Among the four subfamilies of G proteins, the function of G12/13 subfamily is less well understood. In this family, there are two members, G12 and G13, that are expressed ubiquitously. Gα12 knockout mice appeared normal. Gα13 knockout mice displayed embryonic lethality (~E9.5). The Gα13-/- mouse embryos had defective vascular systems. G13 is also essential for receptor tyrosine kinase-induced migration of fibroblast and endothelial cells.
B. Assay Principle
The Gα13 Activation Assay Kit uses configuration-specific anti-Gα13-GTP Mouse monoclonal antibody to measure Gα13-GTP levels in cell extracts or in vitro GTPγS loading Gα13 activation assays. Anti-Gα13-GTP mouse monoclonal antibody is first incubated with cell lysates containing Gα13-GTP. Next, the GTP-bound Gα13 is pulled down by protein A/G agarose. Finally, the precipitated Gα13-GTP is detected through immunoblot analysis using anti-Gα13 mouse monoclonal antibody.

E. Example Results
The following figure demonstrates example results seen with the Gα13 Activation Assay Kit. For reference only.
Gα13 Activation Assay. MEF cells were treated with (lane 2) or without (lane 1) LPA. Cell lysates were incubated with an anti-Gα13-GTP monoclonal antibody (Cat. # 26902) (top panel). The precipitated active Gα13 was immunoblotted with an anti-Gα13 rabbit polyclonal antibody (Cat. # 21005). The bottom panel shows the Western blot with anti-Gα13 of the cell lysates used (5% of that used in the top panel).
Assay Procedure
A. Reagent Preparation
1X Assay/Lysis Buffer: Mix the 5X Stock (Cat. # 30301) briefly and dilute to 1X in deionized water. Just prior to usage, add protease inhibitors such as 1 mM PMSF, 10 μg/mL leupeptin, or 10 μg/mL aprotinin.
B. Sample Preparation
Adherent Cells
1. Culture cells (one 10-cm plate, ~107 cells) to approximately 80-90% confluence. Stimulate the cells with activator or inhibitor as desired.
2. Aspirate the culture media and wash twice with ice-cold PBS.
3. Completely remove the final PBS wash and add ice-cold 1X Assay/Lysis Buffer (See Reagent Preparation) to the cells (0.5-1 mL per 10 cm tissue culture plate).
4. Place the culture plates on ice for 10-20 minutes.
5. Detach the cells from the plates by scraping with a cell scraper.
6. Transfer the lysates to appropriate size tubes and place on ice.
7. If nuclear lysis occurs, the cell lysates may become viscous and difficult to pipette. If this occurs, lysates can be passed through a 27?-gauge syringe needle 3-4 times to shear the genomic DNA.
8. Clear the lysates by centrifuging at 12,000 x g and 4°C for 10 minutes.
9. Collect the supernatant and store the sample (~1-2 mg of total protein) on ice for immediate use, or snap freeze and store at -70°C for future use.

9. Wash the beads 3 times with 0.5 mL of 1X Assay/Lysis Buffer, centrifuging and aspirating each time.
10. After the third wash, pellet the beads through centrifugation and carefully remove all the supernatant.
11. Resuspend the bead pellet in 20 μL of 2X reducing SDS- PAGE sample buffer.
12. Boil the sample for 5 minutes.
13. Centrifuge it at 5,000 x g for 10 seconds.
E. Western Blot Analysis
1. Load 15 μL/well of pull-down supernatant to a polyacrylamide gel (17%). It is recommended to include a pre-stained MW standard (as an indicator of a successful transfer in step 3 below).
