A fluorescent assay for ceramide synthase activity.
The sphingolipids are a diverse family of lipids with important roles in membrane compartmentalization, intracellular signaling, and cell-cell recognition. The central sphingolipid metabolite is ceramide, formed by the transfer of a variable length fatty acid from coenzyme A to a sphingoid base, generally sphingosine or dihydrosphingosine (sphinganine) in mammals. This reaction is catalyzed by ...
متن کاملValidation of a fluorescent imaging plate reader membrane potential assay for high-throughput screening of glycine transporter modulators.
A fluorescent imaging plate reader (FLIPR) membrane potential (V(m)) assay was evaluated for pharmacological characterization and high-throughput screening (HTS) of rat glycine transporter type 2 (rGlyT(2)) in a stable rGlyT(2)-HEK cell line. Data show that glycine activation of rGlyT(2) consistently results in a concentration-dependent V(m) response on the FLIPR that is blocked by the potent a...
متن کاملA simple and sensitive assay for ascorbate using a plate reader.
We have developed a rapid, inexpensive, and reliable assay for the determination of ascorbate using a plate reader. In this assay, ascorbic acid is oxidized to dehydroascorbic acid using Tempol (4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxy) and then reacted with o-phenylenediamine to form the condensation product, 3-(dihydroxyethyl)furo[3,4-b]quinoxaline-1-one. The rate of appearance of this pro...
متن کاملA Nonradioactive Fluorimetric SPE-Based Ceramide Kinase Assay Using NBD-C6-Ceramide
Ceramide kinase (CERK) has been implicated in important cellular processes such as inflammation and apoptosis. Its activity is usually measured using radiolabeled ceramide or [γ-(32)P]-ATP, followed by extraction, thin-layer chromatography, and detection of the formed labeled ceramide-1-phosphate. To eliminate the use of radioactivity, we developed similarly but independently from the approach ...
متن کاملTime-domain fluorescent plate reader for cell based protein-protein interaction and protein conformation assays.
Fluorescence lifetime measurement is widely used in the biological sciences due to its inherent sensitivity and concentration independence. Frequency domain high-throughput plate readers and time-resolved energy transfer (TRET) plate readers are in common use and have been successful in a variety of applications ranging from basic biochemistry to drug discovery. Time-domain systems would have a...
