NHS-SS-Biotin
NHS-SS-biotin (Succinimidyl-2-(biotinamido)-ethyl-1,3-dithiopropionate) is a long-chain cleavable amine-reactive biotinylation reagent that has a spacer arm of 24.3 A in length due to the existence of a cross-bridge within its chemical structure. The long spacer arm creates an increased length between a covalently modified molecule and the bicyclic biotin rings that greatly enhances the ability of the molecule to bind to avidin or streptavidin probes. The NHS ester group of NHS-SS-biotin reacts with the amine groups of proteins and other molecule forming an amide bond and releasing of sulfo-NHS. NHS-SS-Biotin is a water-insoluble molecule that requires the dissolution of organic solvents prior to be added to aqueous reactions.

• Protein labeling—biotinylate antibodies or other proteins for detection or purification using streptavidin probes or resins
• Intracellular labeling—membrane-permeable, can be used to label inside cells
• Amine-reactive—reacts with primary amines (-NH2), such as the side-chain of lysines (K) or the N-terminal-amine
• Cleavable—disulfide bond in spacer arm allows the biotin label to be removed using reducing agents such as DTT
• Solubility—water insoluble, must be dissolved in DMSO or DMF before further dilution in aqueous buffers
• Medium length—spacer arm is 24.3 angstroms; it consists of the native biotin valeric acid group extended by a 7-atom chain

Reaction Conditions |
1.5 mg/ml, 4 ℃ for 1 h |
Applications |
Neurons were washed with the artificial cerebrospinal fluid(ACSF) at 37 ℃, and incubated with 1.5 ml of 1.5 mg/ml NHS-SS-biotin with gentle shaking at 4 ℃ for 1 h. After washing, neurons were switched to the neuronal culture medium and incubated at 37 ℃. At indicated times of incubation, neurons were cooled to 4 ℃ and un-endocytosed surface biotin was cleaved by incubating in the glutathione cleavage buffer (50 mM glutathione, 75 mM NaCl, 10 mM EDTA, 1% BSA, and 0.075 N NaOH). Neurons were lysed in the modified RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris–HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.5% sodium deoxylate, 1 mM EDTA, and protease inhibitors). Lysates were cleared by centrifugation at 10,000g for 10 min at 4 ℃ and incubated at 4 ℃ over-night with 70 μl of 50% streptavidin beads. Endocytosis of ErbB proteins was assayed using cleavable biotin. Bead-associated proteins were subjected to Western blot analysis. |
