Stable Isotope Labeling with Amino Acids in Cell Culture (RRID:SCR_001873) | data or information resource, portal, topical portal | Stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) is a simple and straightforward approach for in vivo incorporation of a label into proteins for mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative proteomics. SILAC relies on metabolic incorporation of a given "light" or "heavy" form of the amino acid into the proteins. The method relies on the incorporation of amino acids with substituted stable isotopic nuclei (e.g. deuterium, 13C, 15N). In an experiment, two cell populations are grown in culture media that are identical except that one of them contains a "light" and the other a "heavy" form of a particular amino acid (e.g. 12C and 13C labeled L-lysine, respectively). When the labeled analog of an amino acid is supplied to cells in culture instead of the natural amino acid, it is incorporated into all newly synthesized proteins. After a number of cell divisions, each instance of this particular amino acid will be replaced by its isotope labeled analog. Since there is hardly any chemical difference between the labeled amino acid and the natural amino acid isotopes, the cells behave exactly like the control cell population grown in the presence of normal amino acid. It is efficient and reproducible as the incorporation of the isotope label is 100%. SILAC Applications: - Differential expression of proteins and identification of disease biomarkers - Cell signaling dynamics - Analysis of yeast pheromone signaling pathway - Identification of methylation sites - Identification of protease substrates - Study of protein complexes/protein interactions - Analysis of signaling pathways and effect of pharmacological inhibitors - Subcellular proteomics Sponsors: Supported in part by an NIH Roadmap grant Technology Center for Networks & Pathways of Lysine Modification. | amino acid, analog, biomarker, cell culture, cell division, cell signal, chemical, deuterium, disease, inhibitor, in vivo, isotope, labeling, lysine, mass spectrometry, media, metabolic, methylation site, nucleus, pharmacological, protease, protein, protein complex, protein interaction, proteomics, signaling pathway, subcellular, substrate, yeast pheromone | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE | nif-0000-10435 | SCR_001873 | SciCrunch Registry | SILAC | 2026-10-17 01:25:02 | 673 |
