--- _id: '1867' abstract: - lang: eng text: Cultured mammalian cells essential are model systems in basic biology research, production platforms of proteins for medical use, and testbeds in synthetic biology. Flavin cofactors, in particular flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), are critical for cellular redox reactions and sense light in naturally occurring photoreceptors and optogenetic tools. Here, we quantified flavin contents of commonly used mammalian cell lines. We first compared three procedures for extraction of free and noncovalently protein-bound flavins and verified extraction using fluorescence spectroscopy. For separation, two CE methods with different BGEs were established, and detection was performed by LED-induced fluorescence with limit of detections (LODs 0.5-3.8 nM). We found that riboflavin (RF), FMN, and FAD contents varied significantly between cell lines. RF (3.1-14 amol/cell) and FAD (2.2-17.0 amol/cell) were the predominant flavins, while FMN (0.46-3.4 amol/cell) was found at markedly lower levels. Observed flavin contents agree with those previously extracted from mammalian tissues, yet reduced forms of RF were detected that were not described previously. Quantification of flavins in mammalian cell lines will allow a better understanding of cellular redox reactions and optogenetic tools. author: - first_name: Jens full_name: Hühner, Jens last_name: Hühner - first_name: Álvaro full_name: Inglés Prieto, Álvaro id: 2A9DB292-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Inglés Prieto orcid: 0000-0002-5409-8571 - first_name: Christian full_name: Neusüß, Christian last_name: Neusüß - first_name: Michael full_name: Lämmerhofer, Michael last_name: Lämmerhofer - first_name: Harald L full_name: Janovjak, Harald L id: 33BA6C30-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Janovjak orcid: 0000-0002-8023-9315 citation: ama: Hühner J, Inglés Prieto Á, Neusüß C, Lämmerhofer M, Janovjak HL.
