Biological Activity

Phalloidin-Fluor 647 Conjugate selectively binds to F-actins. Used at nanomolar concentrations, phalloidin derivatives are convenient probes for labeling, identifying and quantitating F-actins in formaldehyde-fixed and permeabilized tissue sections, cell cultures or cell-free experiments.

Phalloidin binds to actin filaments much more tightly than to actin monomers, leading to a decrease in the rate constant for the dissociation of actin subunits from filament ends, essentially stabilizing actin filaments through the prevention of filament depolymerization. Moreover, phalloidin is found to inhibit the ATP hydrolysis activity of F-actin. Phalloidin functions differently at various concentrations in cells. When introduced into the cytoplasm at low concentrations, phalloidin recruits the less polymerized forms of cytoplasmic actin as well as filamin into stable "islands" of aggregated actin polymers, yet it does not interfere with stress fibers, i.e. thick bundles of microfilaments. The property of phalloidin is a useful tool for investigating the distribution of F-actin in cells by labeling phalloidin with fluorescent analogs and using them to stain actin filaments for light microscopy.


Example protocol

AT A GLANCE

Protocol Summary
  1. Prepare samples in microplate wells
  2. Remove liquid from samples in the plate
  3. Add Phalloidin-Fluor 647 Conjugate solution (100 μL/well)
  4. Stain the cells at room temperature for 20 to 90 minutes
  5. Wash the cells
  6. Examine the specimen under microscope with Cy5 filter 
Important      Warm the vial to room temperature and centrifuge briefly before opening.
Storage and Handling Conditions
The solution should be stable for at least 6 months if store at -20 °C. Protect the fluorescent conjugates from light, and avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
Note     Phalloidin is toxic, although the amount of toxin present in a vial could be lethal only to a mosquito (LD50 of phalloidin = 2 mg/kg), it should be handled with care.

PREPARATION OF STOCK SOLUTIONS

Unless otherwise noted, all unused stock solutions should be divided into single-use aliquots and stored at -20 °C after preparation. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Phalloidin-Fluor 647 Conjugate stock solution
Add 30 µL of DMSO into the powder and mix well.

PREPARATION OF WORKING SOLUTION

Phalloidin-Fluor 647 Conjugate working solution
Add 1 µL of Phalloidin-Fluor 647 Conjugate solution to 1 mL of PBS with 1% BSA.
Note     The stock solution of phalloidin conjugate should be aliquoted and stored at -20 °C. protected from light.
Note     Different cell types might be stained differently. The concentration of phalloidin conjugate working solution should be prepared accordingly.

SAMPLE EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL

Stain the cells
  1. Perform formaldehyde fixation. Incubate cells with 3.0–4.0 % formaldehyde in PBS at room temperature for 10–30 minutes.
    Note     Avoid any methanol containing fixatives since methanol can disrupt actin during the fixation process. The preferred fixative is methanol-free formaldehyde.
  2. Rinse the fixed cells 2–3 times in PBS.
  3. Optional: Add 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS into fixed cells for 3 to 5 minutes to increase permeability. Rinse the cells 2–3 times in PBS.
  4. Add 100 μL/well (96-well plate) of Phalloidin-Fluor 647 Conjugate working solution into the fixed cells, and stain the cells at room temperature for 20 to 90 minutes.
  5. Rinse cells gently with PBS 2 to 3 times to remove excess phalloidin conjugate before plating, sealing and imaging under microscope with Cy5 filter set.

Copper probe CF4

Copper probe CF4 (Copper fluor CF4) is a Cu+-specific fluorescent probe based on a rhodol dye scaffold. Copper probe CF4 (Copper fluor CF4) has high copper selectivity with a Kd value of 2.9×10-13 M, particularly over zinc and iron, as well as abundant cellular alkali and alkaline earth metals. Copper probe CF4 (Copper fluor CF4) is stable in a physiologically relevant pH regime between 6 and 8 (wavelengths of 415 nm for excitation and 660 nm for emission). Copper probe CF4 (Copper fluor CF4) can be used to study colon cancer.
HBC530

HBC530 is a GFP fluorophore-like synthetic dye, with a structurally rigid electron acceptor and a strong electron donor. HBC is nonfluorescent in solution, and when combined with Pepper (RNA aptamer), HBC forms a tight complex and activates and emits bright fluorescence (Kd of ~3.5 nM). HBC emission peaks vary in different complexes and covers the spectrum from cyan to red. HBC can be used in the live cell imaging of RNA (Em/Ex = 530/485 nm).
2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein

2,7-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein (DCFH2) is a non-fluorescent reactive oxygen species (ROS) probe with an excitation wavelength of 485-500 nm and an emission wavelength of 515-530 nm. 2,7-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein is first hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases and then oxidized by ROS to generate non-biomembrane-permeable, highly fluorescent 2,7-dichlorofluorescein (DCF). 2,7-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein can undergo oxidation reactions with a variety of ROS (such as ·OH, H2O2, ONOO-, etc.) and is used to quantitatively detect the level of oxidative stress inside and outside cells. The fluorescence intensity of DCF is positively correlated with the ROS concentration.
4-MUNANA

4-MUNANA is a substrate of influenza virus neuraminidase (NA) with high selectivity and irreversible reaction. In the enzymatic reaction, 4-MUNANA is hydrolyzed by NA to generate fluorescent 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU). By detecting the fluorescence intensity of 4-MU, quantitative analysis of NA activity can be achieved.
FITC Palmitate

FITC-Palmitate is a fluorescently labelled fatty acid derivative made by chemically coupling fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) with a long chain fatty acid, palmitic acid. Due to its combination of fat solubility and green fluorescent signals, it has a variety of uses in biomedical and cell biology experiments.
