Pierce™ Cell Surface Protein Isolation Kit (Thermo Scientific™)
The Thermo Scientific Cell Surface Protein Isolation Kit is a complete set of reagents for selective biotinylation and subsequent purification of mammalian cell surface proteins to the exclusion of intracellular proteins.
Features of the Cell Surface Protein Isolation Kit:
• Isolates cell surface proteins—reduces complexity of total cellular protein
• Efficiently recovers labeled proteins—cleavable biotin allows for nearly 100% recovery of isolated cell surface proteins
• Convenience—all reagents are provided in one kit, along with complete instructions for labeling, cell lysis and purification of cell surface membrane proteins
• Western blotting applications—proteins recovered in SDS-PAGE buffer are loaded directly onto polyacrylamide gels
• Robust system—protocol designed for diverse cell lines, including NIH 3T3, HeLa, C6 and A431
The kit efficiently labels proteins that have accessible lysine residues and sufficient extracellular exposure. The isolation procedure uses a cell-impermeable, cleavable biotinylation reagent (Sulfo-NHS-SS-Biotin) to label exposed primary amines of proteins on the surface of intact adherent or suspension cells. Treated cells are then harvested, lysed and the labeled surface proteins are affinity-purified using Thermo Scientific NeutrAvidin Agarose Resin. The isolated cell surface proteins contain a small, nonreactive tag of the originally labeled primary amines but are no longer biotinylated (biotin remains bound to the resin). The kit contains sufficient reagents for eight experiments, each involving four T75 flasks of confluent cells.
The Cell Surface Protein Isolation Kit has been successfully used to label and purify cell surface proteins. In one experiment, HeLa cells were treated with or without Sulfo-NHS-SS-Biotin and the cells were processed according to the kit procedure. Fractions collected, including elution, flow-through and post-elution gel, were analyzed by Western blot. Four cell surface proteins were identified in the elution fraction of cells treated with the biotin label. These proteins included epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor beta (IGF-1β), integrin 1 and integrin 5. In marked contrast, none of these proteins were identified in the elution fraction of unlabeled cells; the unlabeled proteins were exclusively found in the flow-through. Some cell surface proteins were also identified in the flow-through fractions from labeled cells. These proteins were likely not labeled because of steric hindrance. A negligible amount of captured protein was present in the post-elution gel fractions, indicating nearly 100% recovery of captured proteins. A trace amount of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) was detected in the elution fraction of all samples tested, demonstrating the specificity of the label for cell surface versus intracellular proteins.

mirVana™ PARIS™ RNA and Native Protein Purification Kit (Invitrogen™)
The mirVana™ PARIS™ Kit is for the purification of both native protein and RNA (including small RNA) from the same sample. Each kit contains sufficient reagents and consumables for either 40 isolations of protein and total RNA (including small RNAs), or 20 isolations of protein and separate large and small RNA fractions. Features of this kit:
• Isolate small RNA-containing total RNA and native protein from the same sample
• Start with 100–107 cultured cells or up to 100 mg of many mammalian tissues
• Enrich for small RNA (<200 nt) to increase sensitivity in downstream analyses
• Follow a simple, 30-minute procedure
• Use to correlate mRNA, miRNA or siRNA, and protein levels
How the kit works
The mirVana™ PARIS™ Kit procedure begins with homogenization of samples with a special cell disruption buffer that includes nonionic detergent. Protein remains intact, so a portion of the lysate can be used directly for common protein analysis applications. The remainder of the lysate is used for RNA isolation, using a procedure that combines the advantages of organic and solid-phase extraction, while avoiding the disadvantages of both.
Accessory products
For tissues that have very high levels of ribonucleases, such as pancreas or spleen, the mirVana™ miRNA Isolation Kit is recommended, although it is not designed to recover protein and small RNA from the same sample.

Y-PER™ Plus Dialyzable Yeast Protein Extraction Reagent (Thermo Scientific™)
Thermo Scientific Y-PER-Plus Dialyzable Yeast Protein Extraction Reagent effectively lyses yeast and bacterial cells to extract and solubilize proteins for analysis.
Features of Y-PER Plus Dialyzable Yeast Protein Extraction Reagent:
• Stable formulation designed for room temperature storage
• Yields protein extract with simple 20-minute hands-off incubation
• Requires no rigorous mechanical disruption or lengthy enzymatic treatments
• Tris-based buffer has a very low ionic strength and does not include sodium chloride
• Simple formulation contains no reducing agents or chelating agents
• Fully dialyzable formulation , allowing complete exchange of the extracted protein into any buffer required by downstream techniques
• Compatible with both the Thermo Scientific Pierce BCA and Coomassie Plus Protein Assays
Product Details (Recommendations for Use):
• Fresh Cells and Frozen Cells: The Y-PER-Plus Reagent is capable of extracting proteins equally well from both freshly harvested and frozen cells
• Cell Density and Strain Variation: Differences in growth rate among organisms, growth temperature and media composition affects the number of cells harvested from a given culture volume. Therefore several suggestions for the amount of Y-PER-Plus Reagent to use for a given cell pellet (wet cell paste) weight are included.
• Pichia pastoris: To achieve lysis of cells grown in rich media such as YEPD, cells must be harvested during log-phase growth. To enhance lysis of cells in stationary phase, add DTT or TCEP-HCl (to a final concentration of 0.1M and 20 to 50 mM, respectively) directly to the Y-PER-Plus Reagent before lysis to release much more of the soluble proteins. For best results use 2.5 to 5.0 mL of Y-PER-Plus Reagent per 1 gram of cell paste; scale up or down accordingly. An alternative to adding reducing agents is adding a protease inhibitor and incubating at 45°C.
• Saccharomyces cerevisiae: For best results, harvest cells in log-phase. To increase yield for cells in stationary-phase, add DTT or TCEP·HCl (to a final concentration of 0.1M and 20 to 50 mM, respectively) directly to the Y-PER-Plus Reagent before extraction. No differences in efficiency results for either rich- or synthetic-defined media. For best results use 2.5 to 5.0 mL of Y-PER Plus Reagent per 1 gram of cell paste; scale up or down accordingly.
• Schizosaccharomyces pombe: For best results, use the original Y-PER Reagent (Part No. 78990) for extracting proteins from S. pombe.
• Bacillus subtilis: The Y-PER-Plus Reagent will not extract protein from B. subtilis spores. When using a strain that is able to sporulate, harvest cells during log-phase. For strains unable to sporulate, cells may be grown to saturation before harvesting. Use 2.5 to 5.0 mL of Y-PER-Plus Reagent per 1g of cell paste; scale up or down accordingly.
• Escherichia coli: Use 2.5 to 5.0 mL of Y-PER-Plus Reagent per 1g of cell paste; scale up or down accordingly.
• Enzyme Activity: Because all proteins differ in structure, solubility and stability, a particular protein might not retain optimum activity in the presence of Y-PER-Plus Reagent. For example, the original Y-PER Reagent works well for assaying beta-galactosidase activity, but Y-PER-Plus Reagent slows down its kinetics. Y-PER-Plus Reagent is compatible with standard affinity-purification protocols for glutathione S-transferase (GST) and His-tagged proteins.

Syn-PER™ Synaptic Protein Extraction Reagent (Thermo Scientific™)
Thermo Scientific Syn-PER Synaptic Protein Extraction Reagent is a proprietary cell lysis reagent for efficient isolation of synaptosomes containing functional synaptic proteins from neuronal tissue and primary cultured neurons.
Features of Syn-PER Synaptic Protein Extraction Reagent:
• Efficient synapse extraction—obtain up to 10 µg of synaptic protein per milligram of neuronal tissue or 4 µg synaptic protein per 35mm dish of primary cultured neurons (106 cells)
• Gentle formulation—isolate viable synaptosomes; then lyse these synapses to extract native synaptic proteins and preserve phosphoprotein integrity
• Fast procedure—obtain synaptosomal suspension of intact synapses in less than one hour
• Simple protocol—requires no ultracentrifugation steps
Applications of Syn-PER Synaptic Protein Extraction Reagent:
• Isolate functional synaptosomes to study neurotransmitter release
• Extract pre- and post-synaptic proteins to identify changes in protein composition and function in synapses
• Preserve and study labile or transient protein phosphorylation events associated with synapses
Syn-PER Reagent is used to prepare synaptosomes containing biologically active pre-and post-synaptic proteins (i.e., intact membranes and protein complexes of synapses). When used with fresh neuronal tissue or primary cultured neurons, synaptosomes prepared with the Syn-PER Reagent can be used to study synaptic transmission. The synaptosomal proteins contained in these extracts can also be used for downstream applications such as Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, enzymatic activity assays and protein-protein interaction studies. Syn-PER Synaptic Protein Extraction Reagent minimizes the degradation of phosphoproteins and is ideal for studies requiring the preservation of phosphoprotein integrity.
Syn-PER Synaptic Protein Extraction Reagent efficiently enriches pre-and post-synaptic protein within synaptosomes with high yield. The nondenaturing cell lysis reagent is compatible with many downstream applications, including neurotransmitter release assays, enzyme assays (e.g., phosphatase, kinases), immunoassays, various chromatography procedures, and electrophoresis. In addition, Syn-PER Reagent preserves phosphoprotein integrity better than most commercially available extraction buffers, even in the absence of phosphatase inhibitors. Syn-PER Reagent does not contain protease or phosphatase inhibitors. However, inhibitors such as Thermo Scientific Halt Protease and/or Phosphatase Inhibitors can be added just before use to prevent proteolysis or to offer additional protection from the high phosphatase activity normally present in brain tissue.
Synaptosomes are isolated nerve terminals that are generated during the homogenization of nerve tissue. Synaptosome preparations can be used for extraction of pre- and post-synaptic proteins because they contain the complete pre-synaptic terminal, including mitochondria and synaptic vesicles, along with the post-synaptic membrane and the post-synaptic density. Synaptosomes are commonly used to study synaptic function because they contain functional ion channels, receptors, enzymes and intact synaptic vesicles, which can take up and release neurotransmitters. Synaptosome preparation typically involves several ultracentrifugation steps and density gradients to separate this cell fraction from other organelles.

Features of Y-PER Yeast Protein Extraction Reagent:
• More protein—extracts more than twice as much protein as glass bead methods
• Less hassle—eliminates the difficulties associated with traditional glass bead lysis (e.g., clinging static-charged beads, protein-bead clumps and runaway beads)
• Optmized for yeast—validated for use with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Pichia pastoris
• Versatile—effective for many different organisms, including Bacillus subtilus and both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria; suitable for use in a diverse range of situations

The popular glass bead lysis protocol requires special equipment and must be performed at 4°C. The low yields of protein commonly obtained with this technique are the result of denaturation and proteins nonspecifically binding to the glass beads. However, Y-PER Reagent uses a simple room temperature protocol that can be completed in 20 minutes and requires no special equipment.
Y-PER Reagent offers an easy to use standard protocol for protein extractions involving addition of an appropriate volume of Y-PER Reagent to pelleted yeast cells, followed by incubation at room temperature for approximately 20 minutes and then spin down the debris. The resulting supernatant is a concentrated protein solution, surpassing typical yields obtained with traditional glass bead disruption.
The unicellular nature of yeast, combined with its ability to perform post-translational modifications that closely mimic processes in higher eukaryotes, have made them important research tools. The many vectors available, as well as the development of recombinant expression systems, have given yeast an irreplaceable role in the research sector.Y-PER Reagent is effective for S. cerevisiae and other popular species, making it applicable for use in fusion-tagged protein purification and reporter enzyme assays with these model organisms.

T-PER™ Tissue Protein Extraction Reagent (Thermo Scientific™)
Thermo Scientific T-PER Tissue Protein Extraction Reagent enables mild extraction of total protein from tissue samples.
Features of T-PER Tissue Protein Extraction Reagent:
• Simple procedure—just homogenize tissue sample in 1:20 (w/v) of tissue to T-PER Reagent, then centrifuge to pellet cell or tissue debris
• Mild and convenient—detergent is dialyzable for quick and easy removal; can be used with additional components (e.g., protease inhibitors, salts, reducing agents, chelating agents, etc.)
• Flexible—lysate may be used for reporter assays, protein kinase assays, immunoassays and/or protein purifications
• Compatible—the lysate is compatible with standard protein assays such as Pierce Coomassie Plus (Bradford) Protein Assay
Product Details
This tissue cell lysis reagent utilizes a proprietary detergent in 25mM bicine, 150mM sodium chloride (pH 7.6) to maximize the efficiency of protein solubilization from mammalian tissue samples by homogenization. The simple composition is compatible with additives such as protease inhibitors, salts, reducing agents, chelating agents, providing versatility for many different sample types and lysis applications. Cell lysates prepared with T-PER Reagent are directly compatible with reporter assays (e.g., luciferase, beta-galactosidase, chloramphenicol acetyl transferase), protein kinase assays (e.g., PKA, PKC, tyrosine kinase), immunoassays (e.g., Western blots, ELISAs, RIAs) and/or protein purification procedures.
Homogeneous and efficient tissue protein extraction from different samples is challenging due to varying tissue composition and extraction methods. Fibrous and collagenous tissues, like heart and kidney, make protein extraction by freeze-thaw or mortar and pestle methods inefficient without the aid of detergent. Conversely, soft tissues, such as spleen and liver, require a milder extraction protocol for optimal results. T-PER Reagent was designed for use with all tissues, independent of mechanical extraction methods. The mild detergent enhances solubilization of proteins without compromising function, and the neutral pH and salt concentration of this reagent enable more efficient extraction from cellular compartments yielding homogeneous lysates.
T-PER Reagent was validated for protein yield in both fresh and frozen tissue. Frozen tissue and freeze-thaw extraction protocols predictably resulting in higher protein yield. Additionally, T-PER Reagent is shown to efficiently extract target proteins from various cellular compartments such as plasma membrane ( Na-K+ ATPase, pan-cadherin), cytoplasm (HSP90, MAPK), Mitochondria (COXIV), and nucleus (HDAC1) as tissue specific markers from brain (synaptophysin) and heart tissue (Troponin T Cardiac Isoform).
