Thiol labeling with bromobimanes.

Meth. Enzymol. 143 , 76, (1987)

Bromobimanes--fluorescent labeling agents for histochemical detection of sulfur containing neuropeptides in semithin sections.

Histochemistry 86 , 281, (1987)

Sulfur containing neuropeptides could be demonstrated in semithin sections of invertebrate nervous tissue, especially of gastropods, by using the bromobimanes as fluorescent labeling agents for thiol groups. Semithin sections showed a brilliant fluorescence o...

Physicochemical changes in phosphorylase kinase induced by its cationic activator Mg(2+).

Protein Sci. 22(4) , 444-54, (2013)

For over four decades free Mg(2+) ions, that is, those in excess of MgATP, have been reported to affect a wide variety of properties of phosphorylase kinase (PhK), including its affinity for other molecules, proteolysis, chemical crosslinking, phosphorylation...

The C-terminus of H-Ras as a target for the covalent binding of reactive compounds modulating Ras-dependent pathways.

PLoS ONE 6(1) , e15866, (2011)

Ras proteins are crucial players in differentiation and oncogenesis and constitute important drug targets. The localization and activity of Ras proteins are highly dependent on posttranslational modifications at their C-termini. In addition to an isoprenylate...

ArsD residues Cys12, Cys13, and Cys18 form an As(III)-binding site required for arsenic metallochaperone activity.

J. Biol. Chem. 282(23) , 16783-91, (2007)

The ArsA ATPase is the catalytic subunit of the ArsAB pump encoded by the arsRDABC operon of Escherichia coli plasmid R773. ArsD is a metallochaperone that delivers As(III) to ArsA, increasing its affinity for As(III), thus conferring resistance to environmen...

Modification of the actin interface of skeletal myosin subfragment-1 by treatment with dibromobimane.

Eur. J. Biochem. 159(3) , 555-61, (1986)

Recently, by treating the head portion of skeletal myosin subfragment-1 (S1) with the bifunctional agent dibromobimane, we introduced an intramolecular covalent cross-link which resulted in the stabilisation of an internal loop in the heavy chain structure of...

Mapping protein interfaces with a fluorogenic cross-linker and mass spectrometry: application to nebulin-calmodulin complexes.

Biochemistry 40(26) , 7903-13, (2001)

Nebulin is a giant multifunctional protein that is thought to serve as both a length-regulating protein ruler and calcium/CaM-mediated regulatory protein on the thin filaments of the skeletal muscle sarcomere. To define molecular interfaces between nebulin an...

Dibromobimane as a fluorescent crosslinking reagent.

Anal. Biochem. 225(1) , 174-6, (1995)

Conformations of the signal recognition particle protein Ffh from Escherichia coli as determined by FRET.

J. Mol. Biol. 351(2) , 417-30, (2005)

The signal recognition particle (SRP) initiates the co-translational targeting of proteins to the plasma membrane in bacteria by binding to the N-terminal signal sequence emerging from the translating ribosome. SRP in Escherichia coli is composed of one prote...

Bromobimane crosslinking studies in oligomycin-sensitive ATPase from beef heart mitochondria. Mr 31 000 protein crosslinked.

FEBS Lett. 150(1) , 207-10, (1982)

Using a bromobimane fluorescent label the Mr 31 000 protein band oligomycin-sensitive (OS)-ATPase from beef heart mitochondria is shown to become much intensified by 2-mercaptopropionylglycine. In the presence of 3.5 nmol/mg protein of the thiol reagent ATP-P...
