Creatine kinase

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Creatine kinase is an enzyme found in various tissues, including the heart, brain, and skeletal muscles. It plays a crucial role in energy metabolism by catalyzing the reversible conversion of creatine and ATP to phosphocreatine and ADP. This enzymatic activity is essential for the storage and rapid release of energy in cells, supporting various physiological processes.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To perform the in vitro sumoylation assay, one microgram of purified Stu2p‐TAP was incubated with 5 μg of His6‐Smt3p‐GG, His6‐Ubc9p, 2 μg Aos1/Uba2p, 4 mM ATP and 7 μL of an ATP regeneration system (3.5 U mL−1 creatine kinase, 10 mM creatine phosphate and 0.6 U mL−1 inorganic pyrophosphatase (Sigma Chemical Company, St. Louis, MO)). The mixture was incubated for 2 hr at 30 °C. To stop the reaction, 3x Laemmli sample buffer plus 5% beta‐mercaptoethanol was added and samples were boiled for 5 min. Reaction products were subjected to 6% SDS‐PAGE and visualized by western blot analysis. The presence of Stu2p‐TAP was confirmed using mouse anti‐HA (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA).

Single-molecule experiments were performed at room temperature (23 ± 1°C) on an objective-type total-internal-reflection fluorescence microscope (Olympus IX83 cellTIRF). Microfluidic imaging chambers were passivated with a mixture of PEG and biotin-PEG (Laysan Bio), and incubated with 0.8 µM streptavidin (Invitrogen) followed by 2 nM fluorescently labeled, His-tagged bMRP1 that had been preincubated with biotinylated anti-His6 antibodies (Invitrogen) for 1 hr on ice in a buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 150 mM KCl, 2 mM MgCl2, 0.06% digitonin, 0.5 mg/mL BSA, 10 mM phosphocreatine (Sigma), and 0.1 mg/mL creatine kinase (Sigma). A triplet-state quenching cocktail (Dave et al., 2009 (link)) of 1 mM cyclooctatetraene (Sigma), 1 mM 4-nitrobenzyl alcohol (Sigma), and 1 mM Trolox (Sigma), as well as an oxygen scavenging system (Aitken et al., 2008 (link)) containing 10 nM protocatechuate-3,4-dioxygenase (Sigma) and 2.5 mM protocatechuic acid (Sigma) were supplemented to the imaging buffer. ATP and/or LTC4 were included in the imaging buffer at concentrations specified in the text. Fluorescence signals were split with a W-View Gemini-2C (Hamamatsu), directed to two CMOS cameras (Flash 4.0 v3, Hamamatsu), and acquired by MetaMorph software (Molecular Devices) at a frame rate specified in the text.

VCA Injury Assessment via ELISA and Histology

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Prior to implantation of VCAs, perfusates from cold stored VCAs were collected and levels of creatine kinase (Sigma, USA), and HMGB1 (LifeSpan BioSciences, USA) were measured by ELISA as markers of VCA injury. For histological examination, VCAs were isolated and subsequently fixed, processed to paraffin, and four μm sections stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) and scored for graft injury from 0-5 using a semiquantitative histology scoring system (26 (link)).

Nuclear Export Assay of NP Mutants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HeLa cells (1×105) were cultured on coverslips in 12-well plates, transfected with pCAGGS harboring wild-type NP or mutant NP-NES3 Φ1, Φ2, Φ3, or Φ4, and then examined in a nuclear export assay [5] (link). Briefly, the cell membrane was selectively permeabilized by treatment with 50 µg/ml digitonin (Sigma) for 5 min on ice. The cells were then incubated with apyrase (10 units/ml; Sigma) on ice for 5 min to deplete intracellular ATP, washed, and then incubated in PBS to remove all cytoplasmic components. Fresh HeLa cell lysates (prepared by lysing cells in 10 mM Tris-Cl (pH 7.4), 2 mM MgCl2, 3 mM CaCl2, and 0.3 M sucrose) supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail, 5 mg/ml bovine serum albumin, 1 mM ATP (Sigma), 5 mM creatine phosphate (Roche), and 32 units/ml creatine kinase (Sigma) were added to the cells and incubated at 30°C for 1 h to allow nuclear export to proceed. The cells were then stained with an anti-NP Ab followed by anti-mouse Alexa Fluor 488 and Hoechst 33342. Fluorescence images were taken under a confocal laser-scanning microscope (FV 1000, Olympus).

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.
