Product Information

^RapidS PALM, Protein S-Palmitoylation Detection Kit is an innovative analysis kit for the protein S-palmitoylation, including S-acylation. ^RapidSPALM kit converts the S-palmitoyl/acyl group on proteins to a unique multifunctional-tag (hereafter MfTag) and provides information about total S-palmitoylation amounts in multiple samples, comprehensive S-palmitoylated proteins, number of S-palmitoyl group on target proteins, and ratio of S-palm/non-palm form.

Compared to conventional methods such as Acyl-Biotin Exchange (ABE), Acyl-Resin Assisted Capture (Acyl-RAC) and Acyl-PEGyl Exchange Gel Shift assay (APEGS), ^RapidSPALM show following advantages.

Higher tag labeling efficiency
Lower non-specific modification
Significantly shorter reaction times and steps
Simple and Fast preparation with column
Higher recovery in the purification steps

＜The principle of ^RapidSPALM＞

BDL’s ^RapidSPALM Reaction kit converts S-palmitoyl groups on proteins to a unique MfTag by stepwise chemical reactions similar to conventional S-palmitoylation detection methods. Unlike ABE, Acyl-RAC or APEGS, ^RapidSPALM includes several original and high-performance reagents with a highly optimized protocol and will reduce non-specific labeling reaction, dramatically shorten each reaction time, and omit time-consuming steps.

・Reaction kit

Step-1 Strong denaturation of proteins
A strong denaturant and heat denature proteins to increase the accessibility of the following reagents.

Step-2 Reduction of disulfide bond
Disulfide bonds are cleaved by a potent reducing reagent.

Step-3 Blocking of free cysteines
Unique and high-performance thiol-specific reagents block free cysteines.

Step-4 Cleavage of S-palmitoyl thioester
S-palmitoyl thioesters are cleaved by our high performance hydroxylamine-derivative (hpHA).

Step-5 MfTag labeling
Free-cysteines newly generated from the hpHA cleavage of S-palmitoyl thioester are labeled with MfTag by a cysteine-specific MfTag-labeling reagent.

Step-6 Desalting unreacted reagents by Chloroform/Methanol precipitation (CMppt)

・Additional purification kit

Step-7 Affinity purification
Hook&Loop affinity purification is based on a non-proteinous and small molecular interaction system. Non-specific binding of applied proteins to affinity beads are highly suppressed and the spin-column format provides an easy procedure.

Step-8 Removal of MfTag
MfTag can be removed by reducing agent.

＜Kit selection guide＞

There are two parts of ^RapidSPALM kit, Reaction kit and Purification kit. Reaction kit is an essential part to perform ^RapidSPALM experiment and Purification kit is an optional component to perform affinity purification. Please select adequate kit format according to experimental purposes listed in the Table below.

In ^RapidSPALM experiment, reducing or non-reducing condition on SDS-PAGE is important depending on experimental purposes. Please confirm the recommended condition on your experiments.

Note: Purification Kit alone could not prepare ^RapidSPALM experiments. You need Reaction Kit alone or pair of Reaction Kit and Purification Kit.

Table Selection guide by experimental purpose

＜Applications＞
