| Description: | 1) Costar 96-well black assay plate. Assay buffer of (a) 100 mM Tris pH7.4; (b) 20 mM KCl; (c) 6 mM MgCl2. Stored at room temperature.3) BSA (bovine serum albumen) 10 mg/ml (New England Biolabs # B9001S)4) 20 mM probe in 100% DMSO stock concentration. Stored in the dark at RT. Working concentration is 200 nM diluted in AR water and stored at 4 ° C. Final concentration in assay 80 nM.5) E. coli expressed human full-length HSP90 protein, purified>95% (see, e.g., Panaretou et al., 1998) and stored in 50 uL aliquots at C. Protocol: 1) Add 100 ul buffer to wells 11A and 12A (=FP BLNK)2) Prepare assay reagents are kept on ice with a lid on the bucket as the probe is light-sensitive. i. Final Conc Hsp90 FP Buffer 10 ml 1xBSA 10 mg/ml (NEB) 5.0 ul 5 ug/ml Probe 200 uM 4.0 ul 80 nM Human full-length Hsp90 6.25 ul 200 nM 3) Aliquot 100 ul assay mix to all other wells 4) Seal plate and leave in dark at room temp for 20 minutes to equilibrate. Compound Dilution Plate 1x3 Dilution Series1) In a clear 96-well v-bottom plate {# VWR 007/008/257} add 10 ul 100% DMSO to wells B1 to H112) To wells A1 to A11 add 17.5 ul 100% DMSO 3) Add 2.5 ul cpd to A1. This gives 2.5 mM {50x} stock cpd assuming cpds 20 mM. 4) Repeat for wells A2 to A10. Control in columns 11 and 12.5) Transfer 5 ul from row A to row B-not column 12. Mix well.6) Transfer 5 ul from row B to row C. Mix well.7) Repeat to row G. 8) Do not add any compound to row H-this is the 0 row. 9) This produces a 1x3 dilution series from 50 uM to 0.07 uM.10) In well B12 prepare 20 ul of 100 uM standard compound. 11) After first incubation the assay plate is read on a Fusion a-FP plate reader. 12) After the first read, 2 ul of diluted compound is added to each well for columns 1 to 10. In column 11 {provides standard curve} only add compound B11-H11. Add 2 ul of 100 mM standard cpd to wells B12-H12 {is positive control} 13) The Z factor is calculated from zero controls and positive wells. It typically gives a value of 0.7-0.9. |
