Microfluidic Device for Dextran and Halo Labeling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sample solution, cell culture medium (or 1× PBS), and DI water were added to each reservoir as described in Fig. 2A. Either 10 kDa dextran conjugated Alexa Fluor®488 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) or HaloTag® Alexa Fluor®488 ligand (Promega) was used as a fluorescent sample. Two syringes (25F-GT, volume 25 μL, SGE) were connected to the microfluidic device and withdrawn by a dual syringe pump (YSP-202, YMC. Co., Ltd.). In this study, two syringes were withdrawn at the same flow rates. In order to operate the EO pump, DC voltages were applied using a programmable power supply (HVS448, Model 6000D, LabSmith).

Halo-JF-646 Fluorescent Protein Labeling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fluorescent dye JF-646 (Grimm et al., 2015 (link)) NHS-ester building block (TOCRIS) was conjugated with Halo-tag ligand amine O4 (Promega) by synthetic chemistry according to published protocols (Grimm et al., 2017 (link)). Briefly, 1.5 equivalents of amine O4 ligand were added to one equivalent of the JF-646 NHS-ester in DMF followed by adding 5% triethylamine. The reaction was vigorously stirred for 16 hr at room temperature and the product was purified by silica gel chromatography, dried by SpeedVac (ThermoFisher), and reconstituted in DMSO.
For optical trapping/confocal microscopy assays, HaloTag Alexa Fluor 488 Ligand (Promega) was utilized as described above, followed by desalting through a PD SpinTrap G-25 column (GE Healthcare) according to the manufacturer’s protocol to remove unreacted dye before use. To label the Halo-tagged actin-binding proteins with Halo-JF-646 for TIRF microscopy assays, two equivalents of synthesized Halo-JF-646 dye was added to the protein solution, followed by incubation for at least 2 hr in the dark at 4°C before use. Subsequent removal of excess dye was not required, as JF-646 is a fluorogenic dye (Grimm et al., 2015 (link)).

For CRT analysis, Turbofectin 8.0 (Origene) was used to transfect TSA cells with a pEZ-M02 expression vector containing the Mus musculus CRT-HaloTag-KDEL fusion construct (refer to Fig. S1) following the manufacturer’s instructions (GeneCopoeia). Stable clones were selected by means of G418 selection (Gibco). To validate and detect CRT-HaloTag-KDEL endoplasmic reticulum localization, cloned cells were incubated overnight with 5 µM R110DirectTM ligand (Promega), diluted in phenol free medium, according to the manufacturers instructions. CRT-HaloTag-KDEL bound R110DirectTM ligand, a small molecule that crosses the cell membrane and labels total HaloTag® fusion protein, was visualized on an EVOS fluorescence microscope (Advanced Microscopy Group) at exλ470 nm/emλ525 nm. Positive clones were chosen for subsequent experiments. To visualize CRT-HaloTag-KDEL membranous localization, cloned cells were incubated with the 5 µM of the cell membrane impermeable HaloTag® Alexa Fluor 488 ligand (Promega) for 30 min and processed according to the manufacturers instructions. CRT-HaloTag-KDEL bound HaloTag® Alexa Fluor 488 ligand was visualized on an EVOS fluorescence microscope (Advanced Microscopy Group) at exλ470 nm/emλ525 nm.

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.
