Protein Labeling and Detection
Cells were lysed and labeled with TAMRA-alkyne using the Click-iT® TAMRA Protein Analysis Detection Kit
(Invitrogen, C33370).
IEF fractionation: 2 mg of TAMRA-labeled protein was reduced and alkylated, precipitated and resolubilized
in 7 M urea, 2 M thiourea, 65 mM DTT, 2% CHAPS, 2% ASB-14, 50 mM DTT, then separated into five pH
fractions using the Zoom® IEF fractionator (Invitrogen).
1D PAGE: 10 μg samples were separated on 4-12% NuPAGE® Bis-Tris gels with MOPS buffer.
TAMRA signal was imaged on a FLA9000 scanner (FujiFILM LifeScience) using 532 nm excitation and 580 nm
long-pass emission. References
After TAMRA imaging, gels were post-stained with SYPRO® Ruby Protein Gel Stain (Invitrogen) and imaged Control unfed
