Next, the cells were incubated in the mixture of Krebs buffer supplemented with 0.1 μCi/mL L-[3,4-3H(N)-]glutamine (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA; specific radioactivity 37 MBq/mL) and 0.1 mM unlabeled glutamine. To block systems other than system N in the experiments analyzing system N-mediated [3H]glutamine uptake, the mixture also contained 10 mM L-Ala and 10 mM L-Leu (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) [9 (link)]. The incubation was terminated after 4 min by a triple wash of the cells using cold Krebs buffer. The astrocytes were lysed by incubation with 0.5 mL of 1 N NaOH and the radioactivity of the cells was measured in a Wallac 1409 Liquid Scintillation Counter (Perkin-Elmer, Turku, Finland).

Sclerin (1) (200 μg) and cyclosenegalin A (2) (200 μg) were hydrolyzed in 200 μL 6 M HCl at 50 °C for 18 h. After, the residual HCl was removed in vacuo, and then 100 μL of an acetone solution containing 0.1 M of NaHCO3 and 25 μg of 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenyl-5-l-alaninamide (l-FDAA) was added to the residue. The solution mixture was heated at 75 °C for 4 h. Next, the reaction mixture was cooled, neutralized with 2 M HCl (50 µL) and dissolved in MeOH (200 μL). About 10 µL of each solution of FDLA derivatives was analyzed by HPLC. On the other hand, authentic standards of l-Dab, l-Pro, l-Ile, l-Leu, l-Ala, l-Val, l-Thr, l-Tyr, l-Ser (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) were treated with l-FDAA, as described 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.
