| Description: | In this assay, a GST-tagged human RORγ ligand binding domain (GST-hRORγ-LBD) interacts with a synthetic biotinylated TRAP220 cofactor peptide containing an LXXLL motif (amino acids 631-655 from NP_004765). The ligand-binding domain (LBD) of RORγ is expressed as fusion protein with GST in BL-21 (BL3) cells using the vector pDEST15. Cells are lysed by lysozyme-treatment and sonication, and the fusion proteins purified over glutathione sepharose (Pharmacia) according to the manufacturers instructions. The strong constitutive interaction is disrupted upon binding of functional antagonists. The strength of the interaction is monitored by TR-FRET between streptavidine APC interacting with the biotinylated peptide and Europium-labelled Anti-GST. 6 μl RORγ-LBD-GST solution (final 8.7 nM) in assay buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 6.8, 5 mM MgCl2, 60 mM KCl, 0.1% delipidated BSA, 1 mM DTT) are dispensed into black 384 well small volume plates (Greiner #784076). 6 μl TRAP220 peptide (final 400 nM), SA-APC (final 1.6 ng/μl), Eu-anti-GST (final 0.125 ng/μl) in assay buffer and 2 μl test compounds (DMSO stocks prediluted in 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 6.8, 5 mM MgCl2, 60 mM KCl) are added and the mixture incubated 60 min at RT in the dark before measuring FRET (excitation 337 nm, emission at 615 and 665 nm). |
