Fluorescent labeling agents change binding profiles of glycan-binding proteins.
Interactions of glycan-binding proteins (GBPs) with glycans are essential in cell adhesion, bacterial/viral infection, and cellular signaling pathways. Experimental characterization of these interactions based on glycan microarrays typically involves (1) labeling GBPs directly with fluorescent reagents before incubation with the microarrays, or (2) labeling GBPs with biotin before the incubatio...
متن کاملRecombinant α-actin for specific fluorescent labeling
Until recently, actin was thought to act merely as a passive track for its motility partner, myosin, during actomyosin interactions. Yet a recent report having observed dynamical conformational changes in labeled skeletal muscle alpha-actin suggests that actin has a more active role. Because the labeling technique was still immature, however, conclusions regarding the significance of the differ...
متن کاملFluorescent labeling of calmodulin with bifunctional rhodamine.
Polarized total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (polTIRFM) can be used to detect the spatial orientation and rotational dynamics of single molecules. polTIRFM determines the three-dimensional angular orientation and the extent of wobble of a fluorescent probe bound to the macromolecule of interest. This protocol describes how to label chicken calmodulin (CaM) with bifunctional rhoda...
متن کاملTrypsinization-dependent cell labeling with fluorescent nanoparticles
Trypsin is often used to detach adhered cell subculture from a substrate. However, the proteolytic activity of trypsin may harm cells by cleaving the cell membrane proteins. The present study shows that cellular uptake of fluorescent nanoparticles is remarkably increased within 24 h after trypsinization. These results highlight the trypsin-induced protein digestion, provoking leaky cell plasma ...
متن کاملFluorescent labeling of human platelets.
Noncovalently bound fluorescent probes have been used to study changes in the platelet which may occur during platelet aggregation. Platelets were exposed to either N-phenyl-naphthylamine (NPN) or 8-anilino-1-naphthalene-sulfonic acid (ANS). Both dyes were bound by the platelet, and platelet aggregation by collagen or thrombin was unaffected by the presence of the label. No change in fluorescen...
