  1. Discard supernatant and resuspend the beads in 1 mL of PBS
    containing 1 % (v/v) Triton-X 100 and wash for 10 min on
    nutator.

  2. Discard supernatant and wash the beads twice with 1 mL PBS
    for a 1 min.

  3. Discard supernatant and perform four washes, 10 min each
    with 1 mL of 0.1 M citric acid.

  4. Discard supernatant and repeat step 13.

  5. Resuspend the antibody-conjugated beads in 400 μL of PBS.

  6. Store beads at 4 °C. The antibody-conjugated beads should be
    used within 14 days of preparation.

  7. Grow cells to OD 660 between 0.6–0.8 and collect as described
    in Subheading 3.1.

  8. Resuspend the cells in 300 μL of buffer C containing 0.5 %
    (v/v) protease inhibitors.

  9. Lyse the cells and elute as described in Subheading 3.2 ,
    steps 4 – 10.

  10. Centrifuge lysate at 20,000 × g for 15 min at 4 °C.

  11. Collect supernatant and transfer to a fresh microcentrifuge tube.

  12. Determine protein concentration.

  13. Aliquot 15 mg of protein lysate.

  14. Add 50 μL of conjugated magnetic beads to lysate.

  15. Mix sample via rotation at 4 °C for 3 h.

  16. Place sample on magnetic stand and wash the beads with 1 mL
    of cold buffer C for a total of fi ve times.

  17. After fi nal wash, discard the residual liquid.

  18. Resuspend the beads in 40 μL of buffer D.

  19. Elute co-purifi ed protein by heating the mixture at 65 °C for
    10 min.

  20. Place tube on the magnet to separate the beads.

  21. Transfer supernatant to a new microcentrifuge tube.

  22. Add 2-β-mercaptoethanol to a fi nal concentration of 100 mM.

  23. Boil sample at 100 °C for 5 min and analyze via SDS- PAGE
    and silver staining.

  24. Grow cells in 5 mL of YPD medium to an OD 660 between
    0.4 and 0.5.

  25. Collect the cells by centrifugation at 4,600 × g for 5 min at
    room temperature.

  26. Discard supernatant and resuspend the cells in 2 mL of YPD.
