Protein synthesis was determined by measuring the incorporation of O-propargyl-puromycin (OPP) into newly synthesized proteins42 (link) using the Click-it Plus OPP Alexa Fluor 647 Proteinsynthesis-Assay-Kit according to the manufacturer’s manual (Thermo Fisher). Briefly, O9-1 cells were cultured in 96-well plates until 50% confluency and a pulse of OPP was applied for 30 min. Untreated cells served as negative control, cells pre-incubated with 50 μg·mL−1 cycloheximide for 15 min defined baseline levels. After the incubation time, cells underwent fixation in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min before staining, image acquisition using a Leica DMI 6000 microscope, determination of the integral of the Alexa Fluor 647 intensity using FIJI43 (link) and division by the integral of the intensity of nuclear mask blue for normalization. For quantifications, three randomly chosen images per well were analyzed.

Quantifying Protein Synthesis In Vitro and In Vivo

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For measuring protein synthesis in vitro, Click-iT Plus OPP Alexa Fluor 647 Protein Synthesis Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used as indicated. T cells were incubated with OP-puro in culture for 30 min before or at various time points after anti-CD3/CD28 stimulation, and then cells were fixed and permeabilized using BD Cytofix/Cytoperm Fixation/Permeabilization Solution Kit (BD Biosciences). The azide-alkyne cycloaddition was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After the 30-min reaction, the cells were washed and analyzed by flow cytometry.
For in vivo analysis, OP-puro (MedchemSource; 50 mg per kg of body mass; pH 6.4–6.6 in PBS) was injected intraperitoneally into mice that were immunized with 100 μg of freshly prepared EndoFit ovalbumin (OVA, InvivoGen) intramuscularly 48 hours earlier. One hour later mice were euthanized, unless indicated otherwise. Splenocytes were collected and 2×106 cells were stained with combinations of antibodies against cell-surface markers as described in the figures. After washing, the cells were fixed, permeabilized, and the azide-alkyne cycloaddition was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Mean OP-puro fluorescence reflected absolute fluorescence values for each cell population from multiple independent experiments.

Nascent protein synthesis was analyzed using Click-iT Plus OPP Alexa Fluor 647 Protein Synthesis Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Wandering L3 larvae were dissected in Schneider’s medium containing 5% FBS (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and incubated in 20μM OPP for 10min. After OPP incorporation, larvae were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min at room temperature and subsequently detected OPP by following manufacturer’s manual.

P19 cells were incubated in medium supplemented with 20 μM O-propargyl-puromycin (OPP, Cayman Chemical). After 30 minutes, cells were harvested, washed with PBS, fixed with 4% PFA for 15 minutes and then permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 for 15 minutes at room temperature. OPP fluorescence labeling was induced using the Click-iT Plus OPP Alexa Fluor 647 Protein Synthesis Assay Kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Thermo Fisher Scientific). After three PBS washes, cells were resuspended in PBS and analyzed by flow cytometry. Forward and side scatter gating was used to select a homogenous population of cells. OPP fluorescence was captured in the Cy5 channel. Two thousand events per sample were considered for analysis in three biological replicates per condition. Signal specificity was assessed by cotreatment with 100 μM cycloheximide (CHX, Sigma) or in the absence of OPP (Figure S7A).

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.
