Recombinant Mouse BID Protein, CF Summary

Product Specifications

Purity

>95%, by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and visualized by silver stain

Activity

Measured by its ability to induce cytochrome c release from isolated mouse liver mitochondria. The typical EC₅₀ for cytochrome c releasing activity is less than 300 nM. Cytochrome c is quantified using the Rat/Mouse Cytochrome c Quantikine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # MCTC0).
The EC₅₀ for the desired application should be determined.
Recombinant Mouse BID Caspase-8-cleaved is available (Catalog # 883-M8).

Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Assay Procedure

Materials

Recombinant Mouse BID (Catalog # 860-MB)
Crude or enriched mouse liver mitochondria (See Preparation of mouse liver mitochondria at http://www.rndsystems.com/literature_cytochrome_c_release_assays_bcl-2.aspx)
Dilution Buffer: 25 mM HEPES-KOH (pH 7.4), 0.1 M KCl, 1 mg/mL fatty acid free BSA* (Sigma, Catalog # A6003)
Mitochondria Buffer:125 mM KCl, 0.5 mM MgCl₂, 3.0 mM Succinic acid, 3.0 mM Glutamic acid, 10 mM HEPES-KOH (pH 7.4), 1 mg/mL BSA*, containing 25 μg/mL Leupeptin, 25 μg/mL Pepstatin, 3 μg/mL Aprotinin, 100 μM PMSF, and 10 μM Boc-Asp-FMK caspase inhibitor *Note: Protease inhibitors and BSA should be added to the buffer immediately prior to use. BSA solution should be prepared at 100 mg/mL. Note: All buffers, proteins and tubes should be kept on ice. Assay volumes are 75 μL and are combined in 0.5 mL Eppendorf tubes.
1. Prepare dilutions of Recombinant Mouse BID (MW: 22 kDa) in Dilution Buffer at concentrations of 5000, 1500, 500, 150, 50, 15, 5 and 1.5 nM. The final concentration range will be 1000 to 0.3 nM in a total reaction volume of 75 μL.
2. Aliquot 15 μL of each of the BID dilutions to a series of tubes containg an additional 20 μL of Dilution Buffer and gently mix.
3. Initiate the reaction by adding 12 μL of mitochondria (approximately 25-30 μg) and 28 μL of Mitochondria Buffer containing protease inhibitors and BSA to each tube.
4. Two control samples must be run for each assay to determine the total amount of Cytochrome c that can be released from the mitochondria and the amount of spontaneously released Cytochrome c. Set up two samples containing only mitochondria and the appropriate buffers that have not been treated with any test proteins.
5. Cap the tubes and gently mix the contents for 5-10 seconds. Incubate in a 30 °C water bath for 30 minutes.
6. Total Cytochrome c in the assay should be determined by freezing the entire 75 μL rxn mix immediately after incubation at 30 °C.
7. Centrifuge the remaining samples at 16,000 x g for 5 min. at 2-8 °C. Remove and transfer a 50 μL aliquot of the supernatant to a new chilled tube. Samples may be analyzed immediately or stored at -20 °C in a manual defrost freezer.
8. Measure the levels of Cytochrome c in these samples using the Rat/Mouse Cytochrome c Quantikine ELISA Kit (Catalog # MCTC0). See the Preparation of Samples for the Cytochrome c ELISA at http://www.rndsystems.com/literature_cytochrome_c_release_assays_bcl-2.aspx and additional instructions in the Rat/Mouse Cytochrome c Quantikine ELISA Kit product insert (Catalog # MCTC0).

Background: BID

Bid is a 195 amino acid member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins that regulates outer mitochondrial membrane permeability (1). Bid is a pro-apoptotic member that causes cytochrome c to be released from the mitochondria intermembrane space into the cytosol. In healthy cells Bid is cytosolic. In response to Fas ligand or TNF, Bid is cleaved by caspase-8 and it then relocates to the mitochondria outer membrane (2, 3). Cleavage of Bid by caspase-8 generates a new N-terminal that contains a terminal glycine. It appears that the glycine is myristoylated and myristoylation serves to target Bid to the mitochondria (4). Bid may then interact with another pro‑apoptotic Bcl-2 family member Bak (5). Interaction of Bid with Bak causes altered mitochondrial membrane permeability. A 9-13 amino acid stretch called the BH3 region (Bcl-2 homology region) appears to mediate the Bid interaction with other Bcl-2 family members. Bid is neutralized by binding to the anti-apoptotic member Bcl‑xL.
