Fluorescent and biotinylated phalloidins are water soluble and bind to filamentous actin (F-actin) with nanomolar affinity, making them convenient probes for labeling, identifying, and quantifying F-actin in cryopreserved tissue sections, fixed and permeabilized cells, and cell-free experiments. Phalloidin conjugates bind similarly to actin from various species, including plants and animals, enabling staining of the cytoskeleton in a wide range of samples.

A variety of phalloidin conjugates for filamentous (F-actin) staining are available, including fluorescent Alexa Fluor and Alexa Fluor Plus phalloidins, along with phalloidins conjugated to classic fluorescent dyes such as BODIPY, fluorescein, and rhodamine. Phalloidin staining is spectrally compatible with other fluorescent stains used in cellular analyses such as GFP/RFP, Qdot nanocrystals, and other Alexa Fluor conjugates and antibodies. Biotin‐XX Phalloidin can be used to visualize actin filaments via fluorescent streptavidin tags or standard enzyme-mediated avidin/streptavidin techniques such as in electron microscopy. Unlabeled phalloidin is available for use as a control in blocking F‐actin staining or in promoting polymerization.

Phalloidin conjugates bind to both large and small actin filaments with similar affinity in a 1:1 stoichiometry between phallotoxin and actin subunits. They do not bind G-actin monomers.

Alexa Fluor and Alexa Fluor Plus phalloidin conjugates for F-actin staining

Fluorescent Alexa Fluor dye conjugates of phalloidin are popular F-actin stains, offering color choices across the full spectral range. These phalloidin conjugates provide researchers with fluorescent probes that are superior in brightness and photostability compared to other spectrally similar conjugates.

Alexa Fluor Plus Phalloidin conjugates retain the same specificity for actin but offer 3-5 times greater sensitivity and brightness compared to the corresponding Alexa Fluor Phalloidin conjugate. This increased brightness is beneficial for challenging F-actin imaging, such as the super‐resolution microscopy methods SIM and STORM, and for reliable staining of actin stress fibers.

Features of phalloidin probes

  • High specificity—binds selectively to F-actin, which allows for precise labeling of actin filaments in fixed cells and cryopreserved tissues
  • Strong affinity—nanomolar binding affinity for F-actin, which ensures stable and reliable actin staining
  • Extensive fluorescent conjugate options—over twenty conjugated varieties of phalloidin
  • Compatibility with fixed samples—typically used with fixed cells and tissues, making them suitable for actin staining in detailed structural studies, immunofluorescence staining, and IHC applications
  • Multiplexing capability—the wide availability of phalloidin conjugates enables their use in combination with other fluorescent probes and antibodies for multiplex imaging. Biotinylated phalloidin can be made use of in downstream streptavidin steps.
  • Quantitative analysis—can be used for quantitative analysis of F-actin distribution and density within cells, aiding in the study of cytoskeletal dynamics. The unlabeled phalloidin can be titrated as a control.
  • Ease of use—staining is straightforward and quick
  • Excellent stability—exhibit good photostability, which is essential for prolonged imaging sessions and time-lapse studies
  • Wide applicability—used for a range of applications, including studying cell morphology, motility, and the effects of drugs on the actin cytoskeleton

常见问题解答 (FAQ)

我试着用鬼笔环肽结合F-actin标记我的石蜡切片,但是没有看到信号,为什么?

当细胞和组织经由二甲苯或丙酮之类的溶剂处理时(例如组织切片脱石蜡期间),它通过阻止鬼笔环肽结合的方式来影响F- actin。冰冻切片通常不使用有机溶剂洗涤,可以用来代替石蜡切片,也可以使用抗肌动蛋白抗体。

Can I combine Click-iT or Click-iT Plus reactions with phalloidin conjugates used for actin staining?

We do not recommend using phalloidin conjugates for staining actin in combination with traditional Click-iT or Click-iT Plus reactions since phalloidin is extremely sensitive to the presence of copper.

For staining actin in combination with traditional Click-iT or Click-iT Plus reactions, we recommend using anti-α-actin antibodies for staining actin in the cytoskeleton. You can find a list of our actin antibodies here.

Another option would be to use the Click-iT Plus Alexa Fluor Picolyl Azide Toolkit (Cat. Nos. C10641, C10642, C10643). These Click-iT Plus toolkits provide Copper and Copper protectant separately which makes it easier to titrate the copper concentration to obtain optimal labeling with minimal copper-mediated damage. You may need to optimize the click reaction with the lowest possible concentration of copper and then perform the phalloidin staining.

I'm trying to label my paraffin sections for F-actin with a phalloidin conjugate, but I'm not seeing any signal. Why?

When cells and tissues are treated with solvents such as xylene or acetone (for example during deparaffinization of tissue sections), it affects the F-actin in a way that prevents phalloidins from binding. Phalloidin may be used with cryosections, which are not typically washed with organic solvents, or anti-actin antibodies may be used.

Abstract
Myosin Va maneuvers through actin intersections and diffuses along microtubules.
Authors:Ali MY, Krementsova EB, Kennedy GG, Mahaffy R, Pollard TD, Trybus KM, Warshaw DM
Journal:Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
PubMed ID:17360524
'Certain types of intracellular organelle transport to the cell periphery are thought to involve long-range movement on microtubules by kinesin with subsequent handoff to vertebrate myosin Va (myoVa) for local delivery on actin tracks. This process may involve direct interactions between these two processive motors. Here we demonstrate using single ... More
Sidekicks: synaptic adhesion molecules that promote lamina-specific connectivity in the retina.
Authors:Yamagata M, Weiner JA, Sanes JR
Journal:Cell
PubMed ID:12230981
A major determinant of specific connectivity in the central nervous system is that synapses made by distinct afferent populations are restricted to particular laminae in their target area. We identify Sidekick (Sdk)-1 and -2, homologous transmembrane immunoglobulin superfamily molecules that mediate homophilic adhesion in vitro and direct laminar targeting of ... More

Protein kinase C (PKC) plays a prominent role in immune signaling, and the paradigms for isoform selective signaling are beginning to be elucidated. Real-time microscopy was combined with molecular and biochemical approaches to demonstrate a role for PKC- epsilon in Fc gamma receptor (Fc gammaR)-dependent phagocytosis. RAW 264.7 macrophages were ... More
The HIV-1 pathogenicity factor Nef interferes with maturation of stimulatory T-lymphocyte contacts by modulation of N-Wasp activity.
Authors:Haller C, Rauch S, Michel N, Hannemann S, Lehmann MJ, Keppler OT, Fackler OT
Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:16687395
The Nef protein is a key determinant of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pathogenicity that, among other activities, sensitizes T-lymphocytes for optimal virus production. The initial events by which Nef modulates the T-cell receptor (TCR) cascade are poorly understood. TCR engagement triggers actin rearrangements that control receptor clustering for signal initiation ... More
