| Description: | For the assay, the following buffer was used to set up reactions: 50 mM Tris-HCl pH9, 50 mM NaCl, 0.01% Tween-20 and 1 mM DTT (added fresh prior to starting the reactions). The assay is set up by adding a final concentration of 0.15 nM G9a, 15 uM S-adenosyl-methionine and 100 nM biotinylated histone 3 peptide (1-21). The reaction is incubated at rt for 1 hour and subsequently quenched with the acceptor beads (anti-H3k9me2 AlphaLISA acceptor beads, Perkin Elmer #AL117) at a final concentration of 20 ug/mL. The acceptor beads are incubated for 1 hour. After 1 hour, the donor beads are added at a final concentration of 20 ug/mL (Alpha Streptavidin donor beads, PerkinElmer #6760002). Donor beads are incubated for 0.5 hours. Both donor and acceptor beads are resuspended in AlphaLISA 5X Epigenetics Buffer 1 Kit (PerkinElmer #AL008) prior to addition to the reaction. All manipulations and incubations with the donor and acceptor beads are done in subdued light. Signal is detected in an EnVision plate reader in Alpha mode. |
