[Abstract]  Xenopus laevis oocytes are a widely used model system for characterization of heterologously expressed secondary active transporters. Historically, researchers have relied on detecting transport activity by measuring accumulation of radiolabeled substrates by scintillation counting or of fluorescently labelled substrates by spectrofluorometric quantification. These techniques are, however, limited to substrates that are available as radiolabeled isotopes or to when the substrate is fluorescent. This prompted us to develop a transport assay where we could in principle detect transport activity for any organic metabolite regardless of its availability as radiolabeled isotope or fluorescence properties.

In this protocol we describe the use of X. laevis oocytes ...
[摘要]  非洲爪蟾卵母细胞是用于表征异源表达的第二活性转运蛋白的广泛使用的模型系统。历史上,研究人员依靠通过闪烁计数或荧光标记的底物通过分光荧光定量测量放射性标记底物的积累来检测运输活动。然而,这些技术仅限于可用作放射性标记的同位素的底物或当底物是荧光时。这促使我们开发了一种运输测定法,我们可以原则上检测任何有机代谢物的转运活性,无论其作为放射性标记的同位素或荧光性质如何。

在这个协议中,我们描述了X的使用。卵母细胞作为表达次要活性转运蛋白的异源宿主,以及如何进行摄取测定,然后通过液相色谱 - 质谱(LC-MS)检测和定量运输的代谢物。我们已经成功地使用这种方法来鉴定和表征称为硫代葡萄糖苷和氰基葡糖苷的植物防御代谢物的转运蛋白(Jørgensen等人,2017),然而该方法可用于表征任何转运蛋白底物可以通过LC-MS检测。

【背景】来自非洲爪蟾蛙(Xenopus laevis)的卵母细胞是用于异源表达和表征膜蛋白(即,转运蛋白和通道)的完整表达系统。 X。卵母细胞表达少量内源性膜蛋白,具有低的背景转运活性。此外,来自植物的次要活性转运蛋白(Boorer等人,1992; Theodoulou和Miller,1995; Nour-Eldin等人,2006),动物(Sumikawa 1981); ...
