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

자주 묻는 질문(FAQ)

Do you offer alternative package sizes for phalloidin or ReadyProbes reagents?

Alternative package sizes may be available through a custom request process. Contact Thermo Fisher Scientific customer support or your sales representative to discuss available options for the specific reagent and quantity needed.

Can I use conjugated phalloidin label probes on organoids?

Yes. Conjugated phalloidin labeling probes can be used with organoids when F-actin is accessible after fixation and permeabilization. Because organoids are thicker than monolayer cell cultures, protocol optimization may be needed, including permeabilization conditions, probe incubation time, and probe concentration.

Are conjugated phalloidin reagents antibodies?

No, Phalloidin is not an antibody. It is a bicyclic peptide toxin originally isolated from the Amanita phalloides mushroom and is used to bind and label F-actin in fixed and permeabilized samples.

Can I use methanol instead of DMSO to reconstitute the conjugated phalloidins from the lyophilized solids?

Yes, methanol can be used to reconstitute fluorescent phalloidin, but it creates a less concentrated stock solution than DMSO. Dissolve the vial contents in 1.5 mL of methanol to yield a 40X stock solution at a concentration of 200 assays/mL, which is equivalent to approximately 6.6 µM. One unit/assay of fluorescent phalloidins is equivalent to 5 µL of the methanolic stock solution. Methanol may be used as a stock-solution solvent, but methanol-containing fixatives are not recommended because they can disrupt F-actin.

How do I reconstitute fluorescent conjugated phalloidin probes to make a stock solution?

For fluorescent phalloidin label probes, prepare a DMSO stock solution by dissolving the vial contents in 150 µL anhydrous DMSO to make a 400X stock, with a concentration of approximately 66 µM or 2,000 assays per mL. Store between -25°C and -5°C, protected from light. One unit/assay of fluorescent phalloidins is equivalent to 0.5 µL of the DMSO stock solution.

Abstract
LMP4 regulates Tbx5 protein subcellular localization and activity.
Authors:Camarata T, Bimber B, Kulisz A, Chew TL, Yeung J, Simon HG
Journal:J Cell Biol
PubMed ID:16880269
'The limb- and heart-specific Tbx5 transcription factor coexpresses with and directly binds to the novel PDZ-LIM domain protein, LMP4. LMP4 is distributed in the cytoplasm associated with the actin cytoskeleton. In the presence of LMP4, Tbx5 shuttles dynamically between the nucleus and cytoplasm and, in a complex with LMP4, localizes ... More

PubMed ID:12880336
'Multiphoton microscopy is becoming a popular mode of live and fixed cell imaging. This mode of imaging offers several advantages due to the fact that fluorochrome excitation is a nonlinear event resulting in excitation only at the plane of focus. Multiphoton excitation is enhanced by the use of ultrafast lasers ... More

Fundamental investigations of human biology, and the development of therapeutics, commonly rely on 2D cell-culture systems that do not accurately recapitulate the structure, function, or physiology of living tissues. Systems for 3D cultures exist but do not replicate the spatial distributions of oxygen, metabolites, and signaling molecules found in tissues. ... More

Mast cells reorganize their actin cytoskeleton in response to cytosolic calcium signals while in parallel secreting histamine and other inflammatory mediators. The effect of calcium on actin is mediated in large part through calmodulin. EGFP-tagged calmodulin is concentrated in the actin-rich cortex of RBL-2H3 mast cells.
