BAG3-mediated autophagy

Cells (4x 15 cm dishes) were harvested and lysed with 3 ml lysis buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.5% Nonidet P40 (NP40) and EDTA-free protease inhibitor cocktail tablets). Centrifugation-cleared lysates (13,000 rpm) were filtered through 0.45 µm spin filters (Millipore Ultrafree-CL) and immunoprecipitated with 60 µl anti-HA resin. Resin containing immune complexes were washed five times with lysis buffer followed by five PBS washes, and elution with 150 µl of 250 mg/ml HA peptide in ...

HEK293T cells stably expressing N-terminally HA-tagged BAG3 were employed to screen for novel BAG3 interacting proteins.
