Lipid strips

Manufactured by Echelon Biosciences

Lipid strips are a type of analytical laboratory equipment used to separate and identify different lipid species within a sample. They consist of a solid support material, typically a thin layer of silica gel, onto which a mixture of lipids can be applied. Through the process of thin-layer chromatography, the lipids are separated based on their relative affinities for the solid support and the mobile phase, allowing for the visualization and quantification of individual lipid components.

Lipid Binding Assay for HSP27

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
One hundred picomoles of various lipids was spotted in a nitrocellulose membrane (Lipid Strips; Echelon Biosciences). The membranes were blocked with 2% skim milk in phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4) for 1 h at 4 °C. After blocking, 10 ml of 3% fatty acid–free bovine serum albumin and 0.1% Tween 20 in phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4) containing 6× His-tagged HSP27 (final concentration: 20 nM) was added to the membranes. The membrane was incubated for 20 min at 4 °C and was then incubated with an anti-6× His antibody for 1 h at 4 °C, followed by incubation with anti-mouse IgG conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (Bethyl Laboratories, Montgomery, TX, USA) antibody. Finally, lipid-bound 6× His-HSP27 was visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence Western blotting detection system (GE Healthcare, Little Chalfont, UK).

Protein-lipid Binding Assay Protocol

Protein-lipid binding assay was performed using lipid strips (Echelon Biosciences Inc.) according to the manufacturer’s instructions with minor modifications. In brief, lipid strips were pre-incubated with binding buffer (PBS + 0.1% Tween20 (PBS-T) + 3% fatty acid-free BSA) for overnight at 4 °C to block non-specific binding. Then, lipid strips were incubated with noncovalent GSDMA (NT+CT) complex diluted in PBS-T + 3% BSA overnight at 4 °C with gentle agitation before extensively washed three times with PBS-T. Membrane-bounded proteins were probed with an anti-Flag antibody and visualized using enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Binding of PISD to lipid strips (Echelon Biosciences) was performed as per manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, strips were blocked in 3% fatty acid-free BSA in TBS (25 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl pH7.2) followed by incubation with 1 μg/mL of PISD recombinant protein in 1% fatty acid-free BSA in TBS for 16 hours at 4°C. Strips were washed extensively in TBST (0.05% Tween-20 in TBS) buffer to remove unbound proteins, and incubated with PISD antibody for 16 hours at 4°C. PISD protein bound to lipid strips were detected by immunoblotting.

Expression of GST–Cdr2-Cter or GST was induced in BL21 bacteria from the pGEX6p-1–derived plasmid described in Production of mutant and tagged strains. In brief, cells were grown overnight in LB (Luria–Bertani) medium supplemented with 100 µg/ml ampicillin at 37°C. 500 ml LB and 100 µg/ml ampicillin were inoculated with 12.5 ml of the saturated culture, grown for 4 h at 30°C. Protein expression was induced by the addition of 1 mM IPTG and incubation for 1 h. Bacterial pellets were resuspended in 5 ml PBS, digested with 1 mg/ml lysozyme, treated with 1 µg/ml DNase I, sonicated twice for 1 min (50% amplitude), incubated with 1% Triton X-100 in PBS buffer at 4°C, and centrifuged 15 min at 4°C at 10,000 g. Soluble extract was incubated with 200 µl glutathione–Sepharose beads at 50% slurry for 2 h at 4°C. Finally, beads were washed 3× with cold PBS and eluted in four steps in 100 µl elution buffer (15 mM reduced glutathione and 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8). Eluted proteins were incubated with lipid strips (Echelon, Inc.) following the manufacturer’s protocol. lipid strips were probed with a rabbit affinity-purified anti-GST antibody (1:100; gift from J. Dumont).

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.
