Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Structure of a water-soluble DBCO-sulfo-biotin (DSB), an octyne-biotin with a short, rigid linker, and structure of DBCO-PEGn-Biotin; the PEG linkers tested in this study ranged from 4–60 PEG repeats. (B) Short linker-length octyne-biotins support streptavidin binding to LAHA labeled cells. All cells were labeled for 1 hour with 5 mM LAHA, without (CTRL) or with the indicated octyne-biotin for 15 minutes, followed by streptavidin-alexafluor 546 (SAF546); DSB = DBCO-sulfo-biotin; DP4B = DBCO-PEG4-biotin; DP30B = DBCO-PEG30-biotin; DP60B = DBCO-PEG60-biotin. (C) DALA is accessible for click reaction, but not streptavidin binding. All cells were labeled for 1 hour with 5 mM DALA, without (CTRL) or with the indicated octyne-biotin for 15 minutes, followed by SAF546; a parallel DALA-labeled sample was incubated with the octyne-fluorophore DM543 to demonstrate the incorporation of DALA. Octyne-biotin designations are the same as those shown in panel A. n = 3 for each experiment; a representative example is shown.
Article Snippet: The metabolic labeling agents Azido-homoalanine (LAHA), N-azidoacetylglucosamine tetracetylated (GNAZ), N-azidoacetylmannosamine tetracetylated (MNAZ), N-azidoacetylgalactosamine tetracetylated (GLAZ), DBCO-MB-543 octyne-fluorophore (DM543), and water-soluble DBCO-sulfo-biotin (DSB), were obtained from Click Chemistry Tools (Scottsdale, AZ).
