This package contains 50 nmol of SNAP-Cell Oregon Green substrate, sufficient to make 10 ml of a 5 µM SNAP-tag fusion protein labeling solution.The SNAP-tag is a novel tool for protein research, allowing the specific, covalent attachment of virtually any molecule to a protein of interest. The SNAP-tag is based on mammalian O6-alkylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase (AGT). SNAP-tag substrates are derivatives of benzylguanines and benzylchloropyrimidines. In the labeling reaction, the dye-substituted benzyl group of the substrate becomes covalently attached to the SNAP-tag.There are two steps to using this system: subcloning and expression of the protein of interest as a SNAP-tag fusion, and labeling of the fusion with the SNAP-tag substrate of choice. Expression of SNAP-tag fusion proteins is described in the documentation supplied with SNAP-tag plasmids. The labeling of the fusion proteins with the SNAP-tag substrate is described below.Figure 1:Live U-2 OS cells transiently transfected with pSNAP-Cox8A (mitochondrial expression).Cells were labeled with SNAP-Cell Oregon Green (green) for 15 minutes and counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (blue).Figure 2:Excitation (dotted line) and emission spectra after coupling of SNAP-Cell Oregon Green to SNAP-tag in buffer at pH 7.5.
