Serine acetyltransferase enzymatic activity assays were performed as described previously (Watanabe et al., 2008b (link)). Frozen ground material (20 mg) was homogenized in 100 μL of extraction buffer containing 250 mM potassium phosphate, pH 8.0, 0.5 mM EDTA, and 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol. The soluble protein amount was measured with the Bio-Rad Bradford reagent (Bio-Rad Laboratories) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The enzymatic activity of SERAT was determined in reaction mixtures (100 μL) containing 50 mM Tris–HCl, pH 8.0, 1 mM acetyl-CoA, 10 mM serine. The reaction was performed at 30°C for 15 min and terminated by the addition of 10 μL of 7.5% (w/v) trichloroacetic acid. SERAT activity was determined for the production of OAS, which was derivatized with O-phthalaldehyde using HPLC (see section “Determination of Amino Acid Contents”).

Stoichiometry Quantification of Acetylation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We determined the accuracy and precision of the stoichiometry method by generating an 11-point stoichiometry curve using a complex sample. For this, we used a HEK293 lysate that was grown using standard culture conditions and harvested by centrifugation. The packed cell volume was resuspended using urea buffer (6–8M urea, 100mM ammonium bicarbonate pH = 8.0) and lysed by sonication. Protein concentration was measured using Bradford reagent (Bio-Rad).
To quantify stoichiometry ranging between 1–99%, we varied the amount of starting material to be chemically acetylated with 12C-acetic anhydride or D6-acetic anhydride using a total of 200 μg of protein for each stoichiometry point. For example, to measure a sample as 10% acetylated, we labeled 20 μg of HEK293 lysate with 12C-acetic anhydride and 180 μg of HEK293 lysate with D6-acetic anhydride. The starting protein amounts were varied to generate stoichiometries of: 1, 5, 10, 20, 40, 50, 60, 80, 90, 95, and 99% acetylation. Upon chemical acetylation, the sample was pooled together, digested using trypsin and we performed an offline HPRP prefractionation as outlined above.

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.
