Protocol for quantifying the in vivo rate of protein degradation in mice using a pulse-chase technique.
STAR protocols(2023)
摘要
The ability to measure the in vivo rate of protein degradation is a major limitation in numerous fields of biology. Here, we present a protocol for quantifying this rate in mice using a pulse-chase technique that utilizes an azide-bearing non-canonical amino acid called azidohomoalanine (AHA). We describe steps for using chow containing AHA to pulse-label the animal's proteome. We then detail the quantification of AHA-labeled proteins in whole-tissue lysates or histological sections using a copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition 'click' reaction. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Steinert et al. (2023).1.
