| | TR-FRET Binding Assay |
| Description: | Measurements were carried out in OptiPlate-384 White Opaque 384-well plates (Perkin Elmer. Shelton, Conn.). The assay was run using a fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled BH3 peptide derived from Bak (FITC-AHx-GQVGRQLAIIGDDINR-NH2) that was purchased from GenScript (Piscataway, N.J.) at >95% purity and used without further purification, 300 nM FITC-Bak peptide, 1 nM recombinant Maltose Binding Protein (MBP) tagged Mcl-1 (residues 172-327) and 1 nM terbium conjugated-MBP antibody were added to assay buffer (4.5 mM Monobasic potassium phosphate, 15.5 mM Dibasic potassium phosphate, 1 mM Sodium EDTA, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.05% Pluronic F-68, pH 7.5). Compounds are diluted in DMSO in a 16-point, semilog serial dilution scheme. For the BAK FITC TR-FRET assay 50 nL compound is added to 20 μL of assay buffer containing Bak-FITC. MBP tagged Mcl-1 protein and antibody, for a final DMSO concentration of 0.25% and a top concentration of 10 μM. A FITC-Bak peptide alone (100% inhibition) and peptide plus protein (0% inhibition) control is included on each assay plate. The plate was mixed and incubated for 3 hours at room temperature. TR-FRET signal (Delta F) is measured on a Biotek Cytation 3 multimode plate reader equipped with a filter cube containing an Ex 340/30 Em 620/10 nm filter and an Ex 340/30 Em 520 filter. |
