Immunoprecipitating total SUMO1 profiles using the Signal-Seeker™ SUMOylation 1 Affinity Beads  compared to older SUMO1 tools

(A) HAP1 wildtype (WT) or SUMO1 knockout (KO) lysate, was obtained using BlastR lysis and filter system. 1 mg of each lysate were incubated with 40 µg of each SUMO1 affinity reagent: ASM11-beads (Cytoskeleton), 21C7 (Invitrogen—purified), 21C7 (DSHB—supernatant), D11-beads (Santa Cruz) and conjugated SUMO1 IgG control beads (CIG03).  21C7 antibodies were captured with protein G agarose beads to enrich for SUMO-1 modified proteins. Samples were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF.  Enriched SUMO1 samples were analyzed by western blot using ASM01 (Cytoskeleton) antibody at 1:5000, and mouse Trubelot Ultra-HRP secondary at 1:1000 in 5% milk. Trueblot secondary was used to minimize heavy and light chain detection from 21C7 samples. 

(B): IP was performed using ASM11 as in Fig 1A.  SUMO1 modified proteins were visualized with ASM01 1:5000, and anti-mouse secondary at 1:20,000 to highlight the profile of SUMOylated proteins in the region between 64-30 kDa that may be masked by heavy and light chain interference when using unconjugated antibodies for IP.
