  • This package includes 30 nmol of CLIP-Cell TMR-Star, sufficient to make 10 ml of a 3 µM CLIP-tag fusion protein labeling solution.

    The CLIP-tag protein labeling system enables the specific, covalent attachment of virtually any molecule to a protein of interest. CLIP-tag is a protein tag based on human O6-alkylguanine-DNAalkyltransferase (hAGT). CLIP-tag substrates are derivatives of benzylcytosine (BC). In the labeling reaction, the substituted benzyl group of the substrate is covalently attached to the reactive cysteine of CLIP-tag forming a stable thioether bond.  Although CLIP-tag is based on the same protein as SNAP-tag®, the benzylcytosine substrates form a separate class of substrates, different from the benzylguanine substrates recognized by SNAP-tag. CLIP-tag and SNAP-tag can be used for orthogonal and complementary labeling of two proteins simultaneously in the same cells. 

    There are two steps to using this system: subcloning and expression of the protein of interest as a CLIP-tag fusion, and labeling of the fusion with the CLIP-tag substrate of choice. Expression of CLIP-tag fusion proteins is described in the documentation supplied with CLIP-tag plasmids. The labeling of the fusion proteins with the CLIP-tag substrate is described in this document.

    Live COS-7 expressing pCLIP-H2B and pSNAP-ADRβ2 were labeled with CLIP-Cell TMR-Star (red) and SNAP-Alexa Fluor® 488 (green) for 60 minutes.

    • Product Notes

      1. Storage: CLIP-Cell TMR-Star should be stored at -20°C (long term) or at 4°C in the dark (short term, less than 4 weeks). Protect the substrate from light and moisture. With proper storage at -20°C the substrate should be stable for at least three years dry or 3 months dissolved in DMSO.

    • Tech Tips

      After addition of DMSO, pipette up and down at least 10-20 times and vortex vigorously for at least one full minute to ensure full dissolution of the substrate.

      After diluting the substrate in complete medium, thoroughly pipette up and down at least 10 times to help reduce background.

      Increasing substrate concentration and/or reaction time usually results in higher background and does not necessarily increase the signal-to-background ratio (SNR).
