CLIP-Biotin is suitable for applications such as biotinylation of CLIP-tag™ fusion proteins in living cells for detection with streptavidin fluorophore conjugates or labeling in solution for analysis by SDS-PAGE/Western blot or for capture with streptavidin for binding and interaction studies.

  • It is a cell-permeable substrate (BC-Biotin)
  • It is based on biotin with an amidocaproyl linker
This package contains 50 nmol of CLIP-Biotin substrate, sufficient to make 10 ml of a 5 μM solution for the labeling of CLIP-tag fusion proteins in cells.

CLIP-tag is a novel tool for protein research, allowing the specific, covalent attachment of virtually any molecule to a protein of interest. CLIP-tag is a small protein based on mammalian O6-alkylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase (AGT). CLIP-tag substrates are derivatives of benzylcytosine (BC). In the labeling reaction, the substituted benzyl group of the substrate is covalently attached to the reactive cysteine of CLIP-tag forming a stable thioether link. Although CLIP-tag is based on the same protein as SNAP-tag®, the benzylcytosine substrates form a separate class of substrates, different from the benzylguanine substrates recognized by SNAP-tag. CLIP-tag and SNAP-tag can be used for orthogonal simultaneous labeling.

There are two steps to using this system: subcloning and expression of the protein of interest as a CLIP-tag fusion, and labeling of the fusion with the CLIP-tag substrate of choice. Expression of CLIP-tag fusion proteins is described in the documentation supplied with CLIP-tag plasmids. The labeling of fusion proteins with CLIP-Biotin is described below.

Properties & Usage

Materials Required but not Supplied

  • Cells expressing CLIP-tag proteins 
  • Tissue culture materials and media 
  • Transfection reagents 
  • DMSO


Notes
  • Storage: CLIP-Biotin should be stored at -20°C (long term) or at 4°C in the dark (short term, less than 4 weeks). Protect the substrate from light and moisture. With proper storage at -20°C the substrate should be stable for at least three years dry or 3 months dissolved in DMSO.

Tech Tips

  • After addition of DMSO, pipette up and down at least 10-20 times and vortex vigorously for at least one full minute to ensure full dissolution of the substrate.

  • After diluting the substrate in complete medium, thoroughly pipette up and down at least 10 times to help reduce background.

  • Increasing substrate concentration and/or reaction time usually results in higher background and does not necessarily increase the signal-to-background ratio (SNR).
