MtoZ Biolabs' fungal phosphoprotein extraction kit is specifically designed for fungal samples, overcoming the challenges of rigid cell walls and phosphorylation loss, facilitating research into fungal signal regulation and function.
Product Overview
Fungal cells possess a thick cell wall, complex metabolic products, and highly dynamic phosphorylation characteristics, making the extraction of phosphoproteins particularly challenging:
1. Extremely Tough Cell Walls
Fungal cell walls are rich in chitin and β-glucan, and conventional cell lysis methods struggle to break the walls effectively, leading to incomplete release of phosphoproteins.
2. Significant Phosphatase Activity
Fungi contain a variety of endogenous phosphatases, which can rapidly dephosphorylate proteins during extraction, affecting the true phosphorylation status.
3. Complex Metabolic Interference
Fungal samples may contain polysaccharides, pigments, and exudates that interfere with protein purification, reducing the sensitivity of phosphopeptide detection.
4. Protein Binding to Matrix
Due to the complex structure of fungi, phosphoproteins are prone to crosslinking with cell wall fragments or polysaccharides, affecting extraction efficiency and recovery rates.
Advantages
1. Efficient Cell Wall Disruption System
A combination of specialized enzymatic and chemical lysis methods that significantly increase fungal cell wall disruption, ensuring complete release of phosphoproteins.
2. Strong Phosphatase Inhibition
The kit is equipped with multiple phosphatase inhibitors to fully block dephosphorylation, preserving the true phosphorylation patterns.
3. Polysaccharide and Pigment Removal Module
Accurately removes polysaccharides, pigments, and adhesive components, improving sample clarity and enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio for subsequent mass spectrometry analysis.
4. Phosphoprotein Enrichment Compatibility
MtoZ Biolabs' fungal phosphoprotein extraction kit is compatible with IMAC/TiO₂ and other downstream enrichment processes, making identification more efficient and reliable.
5. Standardized and Controllable Process
The standardized protocol is suitable for different fungal species, improving experimental repeatability and cross-sample comparability.
