Materials
- Homogenization Buffer: 50 mM MES (pH 6.1), 50 mM KF, 60 mM b-mercaptoethanol, 10 mM EDTA, 0.5% Triton X-100 with protease inhibitors
- Ice cold PBS
- Reaction Mixture: 1 mL of 400 mM KF, 10 mM EDTA, 30 mg of glycogen. Warmed at 42C until glycogen is dissolved.
- 200 mM Glucose-1-Phosphate
- 14C Glucose-1-Phosphate
- 100 mM 5'-AMP
- GF/A filter circles
- Ice cold 70% ethanol
Protocol
- Cells are starved and treated as desired.
- Wash 3x with ice cold PBS.
- 200 uL of homogenization buffer is added per well of a 6 well dish.
- Cells are scraped then centrifuged at 13k for 10min. Lysates are transfered to fresh tubes.
- Prepare radioactive reaction mixture.
- Need 2 x 40 uL reaction mixture per sample.
- Add 25 uL of 200 mM G1P and 2 uCi of radioactive G1P to 1mL Reaction Mixture.
- Assays are done +/- 3 mM 5'-AMP. Prepare one reaction mixture tube with and with 45 uL/mL AMP and one with water.
- Add 20 uL Lysate to 40 uL radioactive reaction mixture.
- Place at 37C for 20 min to react.
- Place samples on ice for 15 min.
- Spot 50 uL of mixture onto GF/A filter and let air dry for a few seconds. Place in a 6 well dish.
- Add ice cold 70% Ethanol and washed 15-20 min at 4C.
- Wash twice more with room temperature 70% ethanol for 15-20 min.
- Air dry and count filters.
