Radio-phosphate binding assayI'm having trouble with a test.
I want to know how many proteins in E.coli (ER2566) bind to phosphate (H3PO4). This is my test: 1) Extract protein: Grow in 500ml LB till OD 0.6. Centrifuge, sonicate and resuspend in 10ml 10mM Tris-Cl buffer ph 7.0. 2) Pass 500ul protein through a native PAGE (I have combs this big). 3) Western blotting: transfer to an activated nitrocellulose/PVDF membrane). 4) Incubate blot in phosphate solution for 1 hour. 5) Develop blot in phospho-imaging casette. Leave overnight and observe. The phosphate solutio contains 5 uCi radiolabelled P-32 (beta emission), suspended in 10ml 10mM Tris-Cl buffer ph 7.0. I expect to see something on my developed phosphorescent plates, but I see nothing except background radiation. As a positive control, I passed a dye (10ul), that binds phosphate, through the gel and blot. I see binding in this case. I have attached the two phosphor images, as 'test' (no phosphorescence) and 'positive_control' (phosphorescence). Tell me why every single protein in the cell is not binding to phosphate.
