Disuccinimidyl suberate dss

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States, Germany

Disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS) is a chemical crosslinking agent used in biochemical and molecular biology applications. It is a homobifunctional N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester that can covalently link primary amine groups on proteins or other biomolecules. DSS has a spacer arm length of 11.4 Å, allowing it to connect target molecules.

Bovine serum albumin (BSA),
disuccinimidyl glutarate (DSG), urea, sodium chloride (NaCl), phosphate-buffered
saline (PBS, powder, pH 7.4, for preparing 1 L solutions), and dimethyl
sulfoxide were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. Disuccinimidyl suberate
(DSS) was purchased from Acros Organics. Deionized water was obtained
from a Thermo Scientific apparatus (Barnstead TII Pure Water System).
Deuterium oxide (D2O, 99.9% D), deuterated urea (D4, 98%
D), and deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide (d6-DMSO, 99.8% D) were obtained from Eurisotop and used without further
purification. Deuterated PBS (d-PBS) powder was prepared
from hydrogenated PBS powder by exchanging the hydrogen atoms for
deuterium, dissolving the salts in D2O, followed by freeze-drying.
Similarly, the BSA for SANS was dissolved in D2O to remove
exchangeable protons, and after 1 day of incubation, the solution
was lyophilized. This process was performed twice.

In vivo chemical cross-linking with disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS) (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was carried out as described [25 (link), 47 (link)] with some modifications. Cells transfected with expression plasmids for 17 h were washed three times in PBS with Ca2+/Mg2+ and then incubated with 1 mM DSS or DMSO (as control) in PBS for 1 h at room temperature. The reaction was stopped with a final concentration of 20 mM Tris (pH 7.5) for 15 min at room temperature. The samples were dissolved in NuPAGETM LDS sample buffer (4X) (Invitrogen) and analyzed by Western blotting.

THP-1-derived macrophages or BMDMs were seeded in 6-well plates and treated as indicated. The cell pellets were collected into 1.5 ml Eppendorf tubes and lysed in TBS buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl (GCRF, China), 150 mM NaCl (GCRF, China), 0.5% Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich), PH 7.4) with phosphatase inhibitor (Roche) and EDTA-free protease inhibitor (Bimake) on a rocker for 30 min on ice, and then centrifuged at 6000 × g/4 °C for 15 min to discard the supernatants. The cell supernatants were harvested for precipitation and detected the activation of caspase-1 (p10) and the maturation of IL-1β (p17) by western blotting. The pellets were washed twice with TBS buffer and resuspend in TBS buffer containing 2 mM fresh disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS, Thermo Fisher Scientific) cross-linker at 37 °C for 30 min to crosslink with flipping the tubes every 10 min, and then spun at 6000 × g/4 °C for 15 min. The crosslinked pellets were resuspended in 25 μl 2× SDS loading buffer (Cell Signaling Technology) and boiled at 100 °C for 5 min, and analyzed by immunoblotting of anti-ASC antibody, anti-BAX antibody or anti-BAK antibody.

HEK293TN and hACE2-HEK 293 TN cells were grown at 90% confluency in 150 mm plates. Cells were then detached in PBS. After 3 washes, cells were resuspended in PBS buffer containing 20 μg/ml of recombinant SARS-CoV-2-RBD and incubated with agitation at 4 °C for 60’. Primary amine crosslinker Disuccinimidyl Suberate (DSS) (Thermo Fisher Scientific cat no. 21555) was then added to the mix at a 2 mM final concentration. Crosslinking reactions were performed at room temperature (RT) for 30 min in agitation and were then quenched by addition of 20 mM of TRIS pH 7.4 for 15’.20 (link) After two additional washes in PBS, cells were lysed in the following buffer: 50 mM TRIS pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 1% TRITON and 1:100 protein inhibitor cocktail (Sigma–Aldrich cat no. P8340).
1 mg of total cell lysates were then incubated for 2 h at 4οC in constant rotation with protein G Dynabeads (Life technologies cat. No. 10004D) previously incubated with 25 μg/ml of anti-hACE2 antibodies (R&D systems, cat no. AF933). The beads were then washed three times with lysis buffer and proteins were eluted from the beads by incubation at 95 °C for 10 min with 2X Laemmli sample buffer. Immunoprecipitated samples were then loaded on separate gels for silver staining (to control Immunoprecipitation efficiency), coomassie blue staining (for subsequent mass spectrometry analysis) and western blotting.

Inflammasome Activation and Assessment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To induce conventional NLRP3 inflammasome activation, cells were primed with LPS (0.25 μg/mL) for 2.5 h and then treated with ATP (2.5 mM) for 30 min. In some experiments, cells were primed with LPS, washed with PBS, and then treated with ATP. To stimulate NLRC4 and AIM2 inflammasome signaling, cells were transfected with flagellin (NLRC4) using N-(2,3-dioleoyloxy-1-propyl) trimethylammonium methyl sulfate (DOTAP) or poly dA:dT (AIM2) using Lipofectamine 2000. Inflammasome activation was determined by the presence of active caspase-1 p20 and active IL-1β in culture supernatant immunoblots and extracellular IL-1β quantification using ELISA. To detect ASC oligomerization, disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS, Thermo Scientific)-mediated cross-linking assays were performed as described previously (20 (link)). To determine NLRP3 oligomerization, speck-like aggregates of NLRP3-GFP were assessed by confocal microscopy in NLRP3-GFP-expressing BMDMs.

Detecting BAX Oligomerization by Crosslinking

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BAX dimers and higher order oligomers were detected through chemical
crosslinking experiments (Antonsson et al.,
2001
; Peng et al., 2013 (link)).
Following the indicated treatments, cells were lysed in protease
inhibitor-containing CHAPS lysis buffer on ice for 15 min. Clarified lysates
were dosed and concentrations equalized to the lysate with lowest protein
concentration using CHAPS lysis buffer. Equalized lysates were crosslinked
with fresh disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS; Thermo Fisher Scientific) dissolved
in PBS to a final concentration of 2 mM for 15 min at room temperature with
gentle, continuous inversions. Crosslinking reactions were quenched by
addition of Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) to a final concentration of 20 mM for 5 min.
Quenched crosslinking reactions were pelleted at 4ºC and
reconstituted in 2X LDS sample reducing buffer. 30% of the final product was
subjected to Western blot analysis for the detection of BAX oligomers, using
anti-BAX antibody (ABclonal). Band intensities were measured in Image Studio
Lite (LI-COR Biosciences), and data analyzed and graphed with JMP.

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.
