Separating Soluble from Insoluble Induced Cell Fractions <strong>and</strong> Preparation of SDS-PAGE Samples<br />

Separate soluble from insoluble cell lysate<br />

components. Transfer thawed, lysed cells to a<br />

30–50 ml centrifuge tube. Balance centrifuge <strong>and</strong><br />

centrifuge for 20 minutes at 16,000 x g.<br />

Label 50 ml sterile conical tube Soluble fraction with<br />

your initials.<br />

The supernatant contains the soluble fraction,<br />

<strong>and</strong> the pellet contains the insoluble fraction.<br />

Gently pour the supernatant into tube labeled<br />

Soluble fraction. Relabel the Lysed Cells tube<br />

Insoluble<br />

fraction<br />

The insoluble pellet contains a large quantity of genomic DNA,<br />

making it viscous <strong>and</strong> difficult to resuspend. Using a syringe<br />

with 22 gauge needle, repeatedly pull the solution through the<br />

syringe to shear the pellet <strong>and</strong> decrease the viscosity.<br />

Label two clean 1.5 ml screwcap microcentrifuge tubes<br />

Soluble PAGE <strong>and</strong> Insoluble PAGE. Take a 50 µl aliquot from<br />

each fraction Soluble fraction <strong>and</strong> Insoluble fraction <strong>and</strong><br />

prepare for SDS-PAGE per instruction manual.<br />

Store the SDS-PAGE samples, Soluble <strong>and</strong> Insoluble fractions<br />

at –20°C until ready for further steps.<br />
