Recombinant human SULT1A1 (R&D Systems) activity in the presence of 0.2 mM 3′-phosphoadenosine-5′-phosphosulfate and the indicated concentrations of RITA was measured by a phosphatase-coupled assay using the Universal Sulfotransferase Activity Kit (R&D Systems) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The assay was carried out in Corning clear 96-well plates and incubated (37°C, 1 hour) before addition of detection reagents and visualization at 620 nm using a SpectraMax M5 microplate reader using the SoftMax Pro software (Molecular Devices).
Recombinant human BLVRB was purchased from R&D Systems, Inc. BLVRB activity was measured in the presence of 20 ng/μL BLVRB, obatoclax, and 0.01 mM NADPH in 100 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.5) in a 20 μL volume in white, opaque 384-well plates. The reaction was incubated for 3 hours at 37°C before detection using the NADPH-Glo assay (Promega) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. NADPH and sodium phosphate were purchased from Sigma.

Sulfotransferase Activity Assay by TLC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was performed in the presence of PAP[35S] as the sulfate donor in the presence of several substrates [12 (link)]. The reaction mixture containing each substrate (25 μM), swSULT ST3 (1.0–2.0 μg/20 μL), and HEPES buffer (pH 7.0) was incubated at 37°C for 10 min. The reaction was stopped by heating. Then, 1 μL of the reaction mixture was applied to a cellulose or silica gel TLC plate using n-butanol/ isopropanol/formic acid/ water (3:1:1:1 by volume) as the solvent system to separate the sulfated products. We detected the spot positions corresponding to the sulfated products on the TLC using a Fluoro Image Analyzer, Typhoon FLA 9500 (Cytiva, Tokyo, Japan). The specific activity of swSULT ST3 towards various substrates was measured using a phosphatase-coupled assay with a Universal Sulfotransferase Activity Kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) in the presence of non-labelled PAPS. The assay was composed of two steps: (1) conversion of PAPS to PAP by swSULT ST3, and (2) release of inorganic phosphate by a coupling phosphatase. After incubation at 37°C for 1 h, the change in absorbance was detected at 620 nm.

Sulfotransferase Activity Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sulfotransferase activity was determined using the Universal Sulfotransferase Activity Kit (R&D, Minneapolis, MN), which assesses the sulfotransferase activity of all the sulfotransferases in the cells or tissue tested. 3′-phosphoadenosine-5′-phosphosulfate (PAPS) is the sulfate donor for the sulfotransferase reaction. PAPS (10 μl, 1 mM), acceptor substrate (10 μl), and coupling phosphatase (3.5 μl, 100 ng/μl) were combined with 25 μl/well of the cell suspension in which overall sulfotransferase activity was to be determined in the wells of a microtiter plate. For negative controls, assay buffer was substituted for the cell suspension. The mixture was incubated for 20 minutes at 37°C, then 30 μl of malachite green was added and the mixture gently tapped. De-ionized water (100 ul) was added to each well, and color was developed. Optical density of each well was read and compared among the different wells. The amount of product formation was calculated using a phosphate standard curve, following subtraction of the reading of the negative control. The 3-inorganic phosphate released by the coupling phosphatase and detected by malachite green phosphate detection reagent, was proportional to the 3′-phosphoadenosine-5′-phosphate generated, thereby indicating the extent of the sulfotransferase reaction which utilized the sulfate group of PAPS.

Profiling Sulfotransferase Enzyme Activity

Recombinant sulfotransferases (sult1b1, 1c2, 1e1, 2a1, and 1a1) and the Universal Sulfotransferase Activity Kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) were used according to manufacturer’s recommendations. Following analysis by plate reader, samples were analyzed by LCMS as described above to confirm that the sulfated product was indeed 4EPS. Cytosolic fractions from 50–200ug tissue containing endogenous sulfotransferases were extracted and tested for SULT activity on 4EP as previously described49 ,50 and analyzed by LCMS as described above.

Sulfotransferase activity was detected with the Universal sulfotransferase activity kit (R&D # EA003) and measured according to the manufacturer's protocol. NSCLC cells were washed twice with normal saline and one time with 1X assay buffer. Then, the cells were lysed in 1% NP-40 in 1X assay buffer and sonicated. Next, 10 µg of total protein lysate was used to measure the sulfotransferase activity.

Measurement of total sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) was performed, as previously described [14] . Briefly, the Blyscan TM assay kit (Biocolor Ltd, Newtownabbey, N. Ireland) was used for detection of the sulfated GAGs, based on the reaction of 1,9-dimethylmethylene blue with the sulfated oligosaccharides in the GAG chains.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
