  • 产品概述

    Proteasome Activity Assay Kit (ab107921) takes advantage of the chymotrypsin-like activity, utilizing an AMC-tagged peptide substrate (Proteasome Substrate (Succ-LLVY-AMC in DMSO), which releases free, highly fluorescent AMC in the presence of proteolytic activity. The kit also includes a positive control (Jurkat Cell lysate with significant proteasome activity) and a specific proteasome inhibitor MG-132 which suppresses all proteolytic activity due to proteasomes. This permits differentiation of proteasome activity from other protease activity which may be present in samples.

  • 说明

    Proteasomes are very large (20S, 26S) protein assemblies found in both the nucleus and cytoplasm of all eucaryotes (and in some procaryotes). They are responsible for the degradation and recycling of proteins which have been previously tagged with ubiquitin. Such tagged proteins are degraded into peptides approximately 7-8 amino acids long which are subsequently further degraded. The 20S assembly is the functional protease structure with chymotrypsin-like, trypsin-like and caspase-like protease activities

    Soleus muscle was used.10mg of muscle was homogenized in 100µl of 0.5% NP-40, and 20µl of sample was used in duplicate in the plate.

    How should samples be prepared?

    Start with 1 - 2 x 1e6 cells. Suspend the cell pellet in 500 μl (˜4 volumes) of the 0.5% NP40 solution on ice. Homogenize with a Dounce homogenizer (10 - 50 strokes) or equivalent on ice until efficient lysis is confirmed by viewing the cells under the...

    I would like to know if RIPA buffer would be appropriate to use in the homogeneization step.

    Thank you for your inquiry.

    We do not recommend using samples prepared with RIPA buffer because the SDS tends to interfere with the enzyme.

    Will you confirm that the protease inhibitors NaF, PMSF, Leupeptin, Aprotinin, Bestatin, E-64, AEBSF and Pepstatin which are added to the RIPA buffer won't interfere with this assay, please?

    Addition of protease inhibitors for this assay (ab107921: Proteasome Activity Assay Kit) actually works well; since they will inhibit any proteases from degrading the proteins in the proteasome complex.

    I am a little confused about what kind of plate to use. The protocol section recommends a white opaque plate, but the troubleshoot section suggests a black plate for fluorescence. If the proteasome assay is a fluorescence based assay, what would be the...

    Please use a white opaque plate. The troubleshooting guide (which recommends using a black plate for fluorescence) is just a general one.

    Dear technical specialist,
    Regarding to the product of Proteasome-Activity-Assay-Kit-ab107921, I
    would ask you a few questions here:
    1. Do I need to make the standard curve everytime when I detect the samples?
    2. Are cells pellets froze...

    Thank you for contacting us.


    I am pleased to answer your questions regarding the Proteasome Activity Assay Kit (ab107921).

    1. I can confirm that it is necessary to create a new standard curve for every performed experiment. This ...

    HI

    I need to choose two time points, T1 and T2. Please see the attached file from my new run. Most samples were run 1:5, a couple 1:10 because I didn't have enough sample.
    So I've chosen two time points of each sample, I've marked them ...

    Thank you very much for your email.

    As my colleague is not in the office today, I have looked into your inquiry.

    I am happy to confirm that you can use any two time points as long as they are in the linear range. The difference betw...

    Should I dilute the samples more, would that be useful? Now the curves max out very early after just few minutes. I used 50ul cell lysates, which is 1:2 dilution. Maybe 1:10 would be better?

    The standard graph looks good. Based on that,you are right in saying that the samples can be diluted further maybe 1:5 this time for better time points.
    From this run, assuming that the X axis is time, I think maybe 8 and 10 (units unknown) would f...

    I have trouble analysing the results. I don’t know how to choose T1 and T2. Could you please look at my plots and give some advice.

    Am I supposed to add the inhibitor to one of the standard wells as well?

    What should I use as blank fo...

    Could you please send the standard curve for the attached plot?
    My colleague would be able to help with the T1 and T2 looking at the curve.

    Alternatively, this is the way you could decide the time points:
    It is essential to read R...

    Yet another question regarding this kit (I don’t think the protocol is very clear). What should I use as blank for the measurements since the machine then calculates values based on blank correction. Should I use 10ul of the cell lysate buffer +9...
