Glutathione Quantification Assay

Cells were lysed by 1 % sulfosalicylic acid (100 μl/well of 96 well plates). Cell lysate (20 μl) was diluted by the addition of 80 μl water. The reaction was initiated by the addition of 100 μl reaction buffer (100 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.4), containing 5,5′-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB; 100 μM, Sigma), NADPH (200 μM, Roth), glutathione reductase (1 U/ml, Sigma), and EDTA (1 mM, Sigma). For normalization, total protein content was detected (ROTIQuant, Roth). If not otherwise indicated, the detection of glutathione included both reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione.

Quantification of Total Glutathione

For the detection of total glutathione (GSH and GSSG), samples (30 μl) were transferred to a 96-well plate and supplemented with 70 μl H2O. The recycling reaction was initiated by the addition of reaction buffer (sodium phosphate, 100 mM, pH 7.4), containing EDTA (1 mM), 5,5′-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) (100 μM) (Sigma), NADPH (100 μM) (Carl Roth), and glutathione reductase (1 U/ml; from baker’s yeast) (Sigma). A standard curve with GSH (from 0 μM to 10 μM) was prepared in parallel. After 5 min, DTNB-thiol interaction was analyzed at 405 nm. For the detection of GSSG, a share of the samples was treated first with 2-vinylpyridine in a 20:1 (sample: 2-VP) stoichiometry for 1 h at RT for scavenging of reduced GSH. A GSSG standard curve was prepared (from 0 μM to 10 μM), the samples were then analyzed as described above. To obtain GSH values, oxidized glutathione (GSSG) results were subtracted from total glutathione (GSH + GSSG) values.

Glutathione Reductase Activity Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The method is based on the oxidation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) by GR reducing oxidized L-glutathione (PanReac Applichem, Darmstadt, Germany) [107 (link),108 (link),110 (link)]. The buffer consisted of 50 mM (pH 8.00) HEPES (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 20 mM EDTA and 5 mM NADPH (CarlRoth, Karlsruhe, Germany). The filtered extract was mixed with buffer and substrate, and the analyses were conducted at a wavelength of 340 nm. The kinetic alteration in GR (downward trajectory) was observed at intervals of 35 s. Based on the total protein concentration in the tissue, GR activity was converted to its activity in the fresh leaf biomass (µmol/mg):
where Sc is the slope coefficient (the highest value of absorption-the lowest value of absorption)/time of reaction (minutes); Vt is the total sample volume; Ve is the total extract volume; and Peq is the BSA equivalent based on standard curve.

Measuring Cellular Glutathione Levels

Cells were cultivated as described and counted in a Neubauer chamber and adjusted to the same cell number (2 × 107). After washing in phosphate buffer (80 mM) containing 3.5 mM EDTA, cells were lysed by vortexing with glass beads and centrifuged at 15,800×g for 1 min. The supernatant was used to measure the GSH content according to Griffith [29] (link). The reaction mixture contained 12.5 µL supernatant, 5 µL GR (20 units mL−1; Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany), 50 µL of 6 mM DTNB (Ellman's reagent, Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany), and 350 µL of 0.3 mM NADPH (Carl Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany) in phosphate buffer. Distilled water was added to a final volume of 750 µL (final phosphate buffer 80 mM, 3.5 mM EDTA). The increase of optical density at 412 nm was measured in intervals of 30 s over 10 min using a spectrophotometer (DU800, Beckman Coulter GmbH, Krefeld, Germany).

CrNTRC, OsNTRC, CrCP12, and AtCP12 recombinant proteins used in this assay were prepared as described in SI Appendix, Text, while reaction buffer used was IP lysis buffer. Then, 100 µg CP12 proteins were mixed with 150 µg NTRC proteins, 30 mM NADPH (Carl Roth, #AE14) or both. For untreated, positive, and negative controls, 100 µg CP12 or PRX1 proteins were treated with blank buffer, 5 mM reduced DTT (AppliChem, #A2948) or oxidized DTT (Sigma Aldrich, #D3511), respectively. All reactions were equalized to a final volume of 20 µL in PCR tubes and incubated at 37 °C for 1.5 h. Subsequently, each reaction was stopped by adding 7 µL ROTI®Load2 (4×) nonreducing loading dye (Carl Roth, #K930). The proteins were then separated by SDS-PAGE and stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue G250 (Carl Roth #9598).

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.
