“…The PULSE-CHASE labeling method has been successfully applied for decades. This method allows determination of the half-lives of the S-PALM of various proteins, including ankyrin ( Staufenbiel, 1987 ), Gαi ( Degtyarev et al, 1994 ), α2A-adrenergic receptors ( Kennedy and Limbird, 1994 ), HTT ( Sanders and Hayden, 2015 ), BACE1 ( Bhattacharyya et al, 2016 ), H-Ras ( Baker et al, 2003 ), and N-Ras ( Magee et al, 1987 ). In this approach, cells are exposed to radioactively labeled palmitate for a short period of time (i.e., the PULSE phase), followed by a phase in which cells are incubated with unlabeled (non-radioactive) palmitate (i.e., the CHASE phase).…”
