Atto532 maleimide

Manufactured by ATTO-TEC
Sourced in Germany

The Atto532 maleimide is a fluorescent dye used for labeling biomolecules. It has an excitation maximum at 532 nm and an emission maximum at 553 nm, making it suitable for use with common laser sources. The maleimide functional group allows for covalent attachment to thiol-containing molecules, such as proteins and peptides.

Fluorescent Labeling of Ubiquitin Sensors

mPUP (50 μM), pPUPs (50 to 60 μM), or Ub(S20C) (50 μM) in 50 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 100 mM NaCl, and 1 mM TCEP were incubated with Alexa488-maleimide (75 μM; Thermo Scientific) or Atto532-maleimide (75 to 90 μM; ATTO-TEC GmbH) at room temperature for 2 hours to label C80 of the RUZ domain in mPUP with Alexa488, C39 of pUBD in pPUPs with Atto532, or Ub(S20C) with Atto532. Subsequently, 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol was added to consume unreacted maleimide dyes, and the proteins were purified by IMAC to remove the unbound dye. The degree of labeling (DOL) and concentrations of the labeled sensors were calculated using the equations below DOL=Am×εprot(A280Am×CF280)×εmCF280=ε280εm Protein concentration(M)=[A280(Am×CF280)]εprot
Here, Am represents the absorbance at the dye absorption maximum, A280 is absorbance at 280 nm of the labeled protein, ɛprot is the unlabeled protein extinction coefficient at 280 nm, ɛ280 is the extinction coefficient at 280 nm of the dye alone, ɛm is the extinction coefficient at the absorption maximum of the dye, and CF280 is the correction factor at 280 nm. The DOL obtained for the Alexa488-labeled mPUP and Atto532-labeled pPUPs typically were 55 ± 10%.

Fluorescent Labeling of ENTH Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The ENTH WT (C96A A155C) domain and the ENTH R114A (C96A A155C) were labeled with Atto488 maleimide (or Atto532 maleimide) (ATTO-TEC GmbH, Siegen, Germany) by cysteine modification. The substitution reaction took place in PBS (136 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 8 mM Na2HPO4, 1.8 mM K2HPO4, pH 7.4) with a molar access of the fluorophore of 1.4 in respect to the protein. The substitution was performed at 4 °C with gentle agitation on a tumbling shaker for 16 h.
Proteins were separated from free fluorophores by size-exclusion chromatography with a PD MiniTrap G-25 prepacked columns (GE Healthcare Life Science, Chalfont St Giles, UK). Finally, the degree of labeling (DoL) of the proteins was determined spectrophotometrically by measuring the UV–Vis (NanoDrop 2000, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, USA). For this purpose, the following equation was used: DoL=Amax×εprot×(A280-(Amax×CF280)-1×εmax-1.
Amax is the absorption at the characteristic wavelength of the fluorophore, εmax is the molar extinction coefficient of the fluorophore, A280 is the absorption of the protein at 280 nm, εprot is the molar extinction coefficient of the labeled protein and CF280 is the correction factor of the fluorophore.

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.
