L arginine

Manufactured by Cambridge Isotopes
Sourced in United States

L-arginine is a naturally occurring amino acid that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes. It is an essential component for the synthesis of proteins and serves as a precursor for the production of nitric oxide, which is involved in regulating blood flow and other important functions. L-arginine is commonly used in laboratory settings for research and analytical purposes.

SILAC-Based Proteomic Analysis of Selinexor

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
IU-TAB1 cells were cultured for at least five passages in SILAC media containing L-arginine and L-lysine (light), or 13C6-arginine and 13C6-lysine (heavy; Cambridge Isotope Laboratories). Cells were then treated with DMSO (“light” labeled) or selinexor (400 nmol/L; “heavy” labeled) for 6 hours. Subcellular fractions were obtained using NE-PER Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Extraction Reagents (Thermo Scientific) and validated by Western blot using anti-tubulin (cytoplasmic marker) and anti-histone H3 (nuclear marker). Equal amounts of protein lysates were mixed together for either nuclear or cytoplasmic fraction. The combined proteins were subjected to tryptic digestion, followed by purification of digested peptides, basic RPLC fractionation, LC-MS/MS, and data analyses as described elsewhere (15 (link)).

SILAC-based Immunoprecipitation and Quantitative Proteomics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were cultured in DMEM medium without lysine or arginine, and supplemented with dialyzed serum for two weeks prior to the experiment. Isotopes of L-lysine and L-Arginine (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories) were added to the medium to label the following three SILAC-states: Light (K0R0), Medium (K4R6), and Heavy (K8R10). Immunoprecipitations were performed for each state separately, as described above. As published previously [101 (link)], bound proteins of all three states were mixed after immunoprecipitation and digested “on bead”. Data were analyzed using the Andromeda Search Engine within the MaxQuant software package, version 1.5.3.8 [102 (link),103 (link)].

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.
