Abstract:
S100A6 is a member of the EF-hand Ca2+-binding protein family, which plays important roles in a wide variety of Ca2+ signaling in the cells, as well as in pathophysiological conditions. Herein, we describe analytical protocols for evaluating the interaction of S100A6 with multiple target proteins in vitro, including biotinylated S100A6 overlay, glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-precipitation, surface plasmon resonance, and a GST-precipitation assay in living cells. These methods will elucidate the detailed molecular mechanisms of S100A6/target interactions and further improve our understanding of the physiological significance of S100A6-mediated Ca2+ signaling. Moreover, they may be used to evaluate other physical S100/target interactions.

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...

Target Cell Response to Hormones
Notably, the cellular response can be regulated by altering the number of receptors expressed in the cell. For example, prolonged exposure to elevated hormone levels results in a gradual decline or down-regulation in the number of receptors for that specific hormone on the cell surface. Conversely, in response to low hormone levels, cells may use up-regulation, producing an...
