Abstract
In this protocol we describe the separation and visualization of ubiquitylated forms of the yeast mitofusin Fzo1 by Western blot. To this aim, we express HA-tagged Fzo1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, break the cells to extract a membrane-enriched fraction, solubilize the membranes using detergent and then specifically immunoprecipitate the tagged protein using anti-HA affinity beads. Subsequently, we separate the higher molecular weight (ubiquitylated) forms of Fzo1 via SDS-PAGE. Finally, immunoblotting and immunodecoration are used to detect the protein and its ubiquitylated forms using an HA-specific antibody. By using this protocol, it is possible to separate and visualize higher molecular weight forms of low abundant proteins such as Fzo1 and detect sharp and distinct bands above the unmodified protein by Western blot.
