[Abstract] This protocol aims at the biotin labeling and affinity purification of plasma membrane proteins from cultured neurons. Protein biotinylation consists in the covalent attachment of biotin to proteins. Biotin is a membrane unpermeable molecule with a small size (MW 244.31 g/mol) and therefore does not interfere with the normal function of proteins. Biotin binds to streptavidin and avidin molecules with high affinity. This binding is extremely resistant to temperature, pH and proteolysis, which allows capture and purification of plasma membrane proteins. Moreover, proteins can bind several ...
[摘要] 该方案旨在从培养的神经元生物素标记和亲和纯化质膜蛋白。 蛋白质生物素化包括生物素与蛋白质共价连接。 生物素是具有小尺寸（MW 244.31g / mol）的膜不可渗透分子，因此不干扰蛋白质的正常功能。 生物素以高亲和力结合链霉抗生物素蛋白和抗生物素蛋白分子。 这种结合对温度，pH和蛋白水解具有极高的抗性，可以捕获和纯化质膜蛋白。 此外，蛋白质可以结合几个生物素分子，这将允许几个链霉抗生物素蛋白或抗生物素蛋白分子的结合，增加感兴趣的蛋白质的检测灵敏度。 在该方案中，活的培养神经元的细胞表面的蛋白质被生物素化。 制备神经元提取物并用NeutrAvidin偶联的珠收集生物素化的蛋白质，并通过Western印迹进行分析。

[Abstract] Histone deacetylases (HDACs) catalyzing the removal of acetyl groups from lysine residues of histone and non-histone proteins play vital roles in regulation of gene transcription. In plants, HDACs can be grouped into three families, including RPD3-type, SIR2-type and plant specific HD2-type HDACs. Here we describe a method to determine plant HDAC enzymatic activity. This protocol includes expression, purification and enzymatic activity assay of recombinant plant HDACs expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Arabidopsis thaliana (A. thaliana).
[摘要] 组蛋白脱乙酰酶（HDAC）催化从组蛋白和非组蛋白蛋白的赖氨酸残基去除乙酰基在调节基因转录中起重要作用。 在植物中，HDAC可以分为三个家族，包括RPD3型，SIR2型和植物特异性HD2型HDAC。 在这里我们描述了一种确定植物HDAC酶活性的方法。 该方案包括在大肠杆菌（大肠杆菌）和拟南芥（）中表达的重组植物HDAC的表达，纯化和酶活性测定 >拟南芥）。
