Stx2 holotoxin

Manufactured by BEI Resources
Sourced in United States

The STx2 holotoxin is a protein complex produced by certain strains of Escherichia coli bacteria. It consists of a single enzymatically active A subunit and five receptor-binding B subunits. The core function of the STx2 holotoxin is to inhibit protein synthesis within target cells.

Fluorescent Labeling of Shiga Toxin 2B

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We have previously described the GFP-SNX1 and GFP-Rab5 plasmids used in this study [16 (link)]. Monoclonal anti-GM130 (#610822) was from BD Biosciences (San Jose, CA, USA). Tamoxifen (TAM) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Derivative compounds were synthesized at the Center for Innovative Drug Discovery (University of Texas at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX, USA; see Supplementary Materials). All compounds were dissolved in DMSO and used at 10 µM final concentration unless specified otherwise.
STx2 holotoxin and STx2B were obtained from BEI Resources (Manassas, VA, USA). For transport assays, STx2B was labeled using Alexa Fluor™ 555 Microscale Protein Labeling Kit using manufacturer’s instructions (ThermoFischer, Waltham, MA, USA).

Shiga Toxin-2 Exposure in HT29 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Stx2 holotoxin was acquired from BEI Resources (Manassas, VA). HT29 cells grown to 90% confluence were treated with 5 ng of Stx2 in 100 l SDMEMper well (final Stx2 concentration was 50 ng/ml) in the 96-well plate for 24 h (Pang, Park, Wang, Vummenthala, Mishra, McLaughlin, et al., 2011) . To isolate total RNA from treated and untreated HT29 cells, the RLT lysis buffer from the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA) was added directly to each well after the medium was aspirated. Total cell RNA was extracted following the manufacturer's protocol and quantitated by a NanoDrop spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA).

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.
