20120208197 | Monitoring gene silencing and annotating gene function in living cells - The cell-based assays described in the present invention can be used to directly assess the sensitivity and specificity of the gene annotation reagent against its target, mapping genes and to determine if a non-targeted gene participates in a pathway of interest or is functionally linked to another gene or protein. Preferred assay embodiments include fluorescence or luminescence assays in intact (live or fixed) cells. Such fluorescence or luminescence assays include high-throughput or high-content assays for protein activity, subcellular localization, post-translational modifications, or interactions of proteins. Suitable assays may include protein-protein interaction assays; protein translocation assays; and post-translational modification assays. The invention can be used to assess the efficacy of any gene silencing experiment, and to map novel genes into biochemical pathways, and to identify novel pharmaceutical targets. The results also demonstrate the feasibility of employing this strategy in genome-wide functional annotation efforts. | 08-16-2012 |

20130306854 | GELC-MS USING STAIN FREE TECHNOLOGY - Disclosed herein is a method of preparing a protein sample for mass spectroscopy. The method includes separating proteins of the sample on an electrophoresis gel; contacting the proteins with a halo-substituted organic compound; exposing the gel to UV light; detecting fluorescence emitted from the electrophoresis gel; excising at least one portion of the electrophoresis gel based upon the detected fluorescence, wherein said at least one portion contains proteins of the protein sample; and subjecting proteins from the at least one portion to mass spectroscopy. Using this method, more proteins can be identified by GeLC-MS than when the electrophoresis gel is treated with a protein stain or subjected to the gel handling steps accompanying such treatment. | 11-21-2013 |
20140042027 | MODIFIED ELECTRODE BUFFERS FOR STAIN-FREE PROTEIN DETECTION IN ELECTROPHORESIS - Proteins that are electrophoretically separated in a gel are derivatized to produce fluorescent emissions by incorporating halo-substituted organic compounds into one or both of the electrode buffer solutions at the two ends of the gel. The halo-substituted compounds used are ones that bear an electric charge at the pH of the buffer solutions and gel, and the polarity of the charge on the compounds is such that the compounds migrate from the electrode buffer into the gel under the electrophoretic influence concurrently with the migration of the proteins into the gel. Once the proteins are separated and distributed within the gel and the gel is fully penetrated with the halo-substituted compounds, the gel is irradiated with ultraviolet light to induce a reaction between the halo-substituted compounds and the proteins through the tryptophan residues on the proteins, producing fluorescent reaction products. | 02-13-2014 |

20150044705 | PROTEIN DETECTION USING MODIFIED CYCLODEXTRINS - A method is provided for detecting a protein using a cyclodextrin covalently linked to at least one label. The cyclodextrin can associate with the protein by sequestering an aromatic amino acid side-chain of the protein in its hydrophobic cavity. After contacting the protein with the cyclodextrin, the label can be detected directly or can undergo a chemical interaction with a reagent to form a detectable product. The label can include an indole moiety, which can react with a halo-substituted organic compound upon exposure to UV light and thereby be rendered fluorescent. Alternatively, the label can include a biotin moiety, which can bind to a binding partner such as avidin, or variants thereof, to form a detectable molecular complex. A labeled cyclodextrin can be used in the present methods to detect a protein of interest in an electrophoresis gel or on a blotting membrane. Aromatic amino acid residues of the protein, in particular tryptophan, remain protected from chemical modification due to sequestration by the cyclodextrin, making these methods compatible with downstream applications that require intact protein. Also provided herein are compositions, kits, and electrophoresis gels for use in detecting proteins. | 02-12-2015 |
