Inositol Phosphates Purification Using Titanium Dioxide Beads

[Abstract]  Inositol phosphates (IPs) comprise a family of ubiquitous eukaryotic signaling molecules. They have been linked to the regulation of a pleiotropy of important cellular activities, but low abundance and detection difficulties have hampered our understanding. Here we present a method to purify and enrich IPs or other phosphate-rich metabolites from mammalian cells or other sample types. Acid-extracted IPs from cells bind selectively via their phosphate groups to titanium dioxide beads. After washing, the IPs are easily eluted from the beads by increasing the pH. This technique, in combination with downstream analytical methods such as PAGE or SAX-HPLC, opens unprecedented investigative possibilities, allowing appropriate analysis of IPs from virtually any biological or non-biological source. [摘要]  肌醇磷酸(IP)包含普遍存在的真核信号分子家族。 它们与重要细胞活动的多效性的调节有关,但低丰度和检测困难阻碍了我们的理解。 在这里,我们提出了一种从哺乳动物细胞或其他样本类型中纯化和富集IP或其他富含磷酸盐的代谢物的方法。 来自细胞的酸提取的IP通过其磷酸基团选择性地结合到二氧化钛珠子上。 洗涤后,通过增加pH容易从珠中洗脱IP。 该技术与下游分析方法(如PAGE或SAX-HPLC)相结合,开启了前所未有的研究可能性,允许从几乎任何生物或非生物来源对IP进行适当分析。

【背景】肌醇磷酸(IP)是保守信号分子家族,在真核生物中普遍存在(Irvine和Schell,2001; Tsui和York,2010)。它们涉及广泛的细胞活动的调节,包括钙信号传导,运输和磷酸盐稳态(Wilson et al。,2013; Thota和Bhandari,2015; Azevedo和Saiardi,2017; )。然而,我们对IP信号的理解受到了它们难以研究的事实的阻碍。

与其他富含磷酸盐的分子(例如核苷酸)不同,IP在UV / Vis范围内不吸收,并且通常以相对低的丰度存在于细胞中。用于IP检测和分析的传统方法是用 3 ...

The Long-lived Protein Degradation Assay: an Efficient Method for Quantitative Determination of the Autophagic Flux of Endogenous Proteins in Adherent Cell Lines

[Abstract]  Autophagy is a key player in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis in eukaryotes, and numerous diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, are associated with alterations in autophagy. The interest for studying autophagy has grown intensely in the last two decades, and so has the arsenal of methods utilised to study this highly dynamic and complex process. Changes in the expression and/or localisation of autophagy-related proteins are frequently assessed by Western blot and various microscopy techniques. Such analyses may be indicative of alterations in autophagy-related processes and informative about the specific marker being investigated. However, since these proteins are part of the autophagic machinery, and not autophagic cargo, they cannot be used to draw ... [摘要]  自噬是维持真核生物细胞稳态的关键因素,包括癌症和神经退行性疾病在内的许多疾病都与自噬的改变有关。研究自噬的兴趣在过去的二十年里急剧增长,并且还有用于研究这种高度动态和复杂过程的方法库。通常通过Western印迹和各种显微镜技术来评估自噬相关蛋白的表达和/或定位中的变化。这样的分析可能表明自噬相关过程的改变,并且关于正在研究的特定标记物的信息。然而,由于这些蛋白质是自噬机制的一部分,而不是自噬性货物,所以它们不能用于得出关于自噬载货流量的结论。在这里,我们提供了一个协议,通过使用长寿命的蛋白质降解测定来定量评估体积自噬流量。我们的程序追踪14 C缬氨酸标记的蛋白质的降解是简单和快速的,允许并行处理相对大量的样品,并且原则上可以与任何贴壁细胞一起使用线。最重要的是,它可以通过自噬途径定量测量内源货物流量。因此,它是研究自噬活动的黄金标准之一。

【背景】脉冲追踪标记方法已用于研究蛋白质周转数十年。在此处描述的长寿命蛋白质降解(LLPD)测定中,培养细胞的蛋白质组用14 ...
