Quantifying Intracellular RSS Levels in S. cerevisiae

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Intracellular RSS levels of S. cerevisiae BY4742 cells were assessed by using a previously reported method [32 (link)]. In brief, BY4742 cells were suspended in 100 µL of reaction buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl and 1 mM sulfite (pH 7.5)) and incubated at 95 °C for 30 min. During incubation, sulfane sulfur atoms reacted with sulfite to form thiosulfate (S2O32−). Monobromobimane (mBBr) was then used to derivatize the formed thiolsulfate, and the derivative was quantified by using HPLC (LC-20A; Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) with a fluorescence detector (RF20A; Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). The obtained S2O32− derivative concentration represented the intracellular RSS level.

The HPLC-FL system was composed of an HPLC column Capcell pack C18 UG120 (5 μm, 250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d.; Osaka Soda, Osaka, Japan), pump LC-20AD, column heater CTO-10A, autosampler SIL-20AC, fluorescence detector RF-20A, communication bus module CBM-20A, and LabSolutions software (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). The mobile phase consisted of water, methanol, and acetonitrile (6:3:1), and the flow rate was 0.3 mL min−1. The column heater temperature was set at 40 °C. AFB1 was detected at wavelengths of 365 (extraction) and 450 nm (emission). The standard AF mix was diluted to generate the calibration curve. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) for the analysis were approximately 0.25 and 0.74 ng mL−1, respectively, as calculated from the standard deviation of the y-intercept on the calibration curve.

Urinary 1-AP levels were measured from 2 h urine samples. One milliliter of 10 M hydrochloric acid was added to each 10 mL urine sample, and the urine was stirred in a 90-°C water bath for 2 h. After adjusting the pH to 7.0–8.0, the supernatant was extracted with Sep-Pak cartridge (C18, 3 mL, 200 mg, Waters, Milford, UK). Before extraction, it was pre-conditioned with 5 mL of methanol and 5 mL of water. After loading the sample, it was washed with 5 mL of 20% methanol in water and then extracted with 4 mL of 100% methanol. The extract was dried with N2 gas and dissolved in 200 μL of methanol. The extract was analyzed by injecting 20 μL into the HPLC system equipped with a fluorescence detector (Shimadzu, RF-20A, Kyoto, Japan). A reverse phase-amide column (Ascentis RP-Amide, 25 cm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm, SUPELCO, Bellefonte, PA, USA) was used. The mobile phase was composed of methanol and 50 mM sodium acetate buffer pH 7.2 (80:20, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, and the excitation and emission wavelengths were 254 nm and 425 nm, respectively (Fig. 1). Urinary 1-AP concentration was corrected using the urinary creatinine level.

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.
