BS3 Crosslinker disodium
Based on 3 publication(s) in Google Scholar
BS3 Crosslinker disodium is a cell-impermeable NHS ester crosslinker. BS3 Crosslinker disodium "covalently locks" two spatially adjacent proteins on the surface of living cells into a covalent complex, and the dimerization/oligomerization status is determined by observing molecular weight shifts via Western blot. BS3 Crosslinker disodium can crosslink EGFR and c-MET to assist in detecting and evaluating their dimerization status. It can be used in research related to oral cancer and glioblastoma.

Assay for Detecting Receptor Dimerization on Live Cell Surfaces Using BS3 Crosslinking Method[1][2]
1. Experimental Principle: BS3 Crosslinker disodium is a water-soluble, membrane-impermeable homobifunctional amine-reactive crosslinker. The sulfo-NHS ester groups at its two ends undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions with the ε-amino groups of lysine residues on the surfaces of adjacent proteins, forming stable amide bonds, thereby covalently linking two protein subunits with a spatial distance ≤ 11.4 Å. The reaction is performed at 4°C, which can effectively "freeze" transient or stable receptor dimers/oligomers on the cell membrane. Subsequently, the molecular weight shift (monomer → dimer → oligomer) is detected by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting to determine the dimerization status of the target protein.
2. Reagent Preparation:
2.1 Warm the vial: Before opening the BS3 Crosslinker disodium vial, allow it to return to room temperature to prevent moisture entry (condensation).
2.2 Prepare fresh solution immediately: Immediately before use, dissolve BS3 Crosslinker disodium in cold water or amine-free buffer (e.g., PBS or 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5). Do not store stock solutions.
2.3 Buffer selection: Use buffers with a pH of 7.0-8.5 (e.g., PBS at pH 7.4). Avoid buffers containing primary amines (such as Tris or glycine) as they react with the crosslinker.
3. Reaction Procedures
3.1 Mix components: Add the freshly prepared BS3 Crosslinker disodium solution to the protein sample to achieve a 10- to 20-fold molar excess of BS3 Crosslinker disodium relative to the protein.
3.2 Incubation: Incubate the mixture at room temperature for 30 minutes (if the protein requires lower temperature, perform the incubation on ice).
3.3 Quench the reaction: Add a quenching buffer containing primary amines (e.g., 25-50 mM Tris, pH 7.5-8.0) to terminate the reaction, followed by incubation at room temperature for 15 minutes.
3.4 Purification/cleanup: If required for downstream experiments, remove unreacted residual BS3 Crosslinker disodium by dialysis or gel filtration.
