Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Enzyme Assay Data on TC-PTP
Description:  The assay was carried out at room temperature in 96 well plates. The reaction mixture in 170 μl contained 50 mM Bis-Tris (pH=6.3), 2 mM EDTA, 5 mM N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′bis(mercaptoacetyl)hydrazine (DMH) and 10 μM fluorescein diphosphare (FDP) or 6,8-difluoro-4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate (DiFMUP). 10 μl of 10 concentrations (serial dilution) of the test compound (inhibitor) dissolved in DMSO or DMSO alone for control was added to each well and the plate was mixed for 2 min. The reaction was initiated by adding 20 μl of diluted TC-PTP (50 nM for FDP, 0.5 nM for DiFMUP in 50 mM Bis/Tris (pH=6.3), 2 mM EDTA, 5 mM DMH, 20% glycerol and 0.01% Triton X-100. The phosphatase activity was followed by monitoring the appearance of the fluorescent product fluorescein monophosphate (FMP) or 6,8-difluoro-7-hydroxyl-4-coumarin (DiFMU) continuously for 15-30 min, using the Spectromax Gemini fluorescent plate reader (Molecular probes) with excitation of 440 nm and emission at 530 nm (cutoff filter at 525 nm) for FDP and excitation at 360 nm and emission at 450 nm (cutoff filter at 435 nm) for DiFMUP. All the assays were done at least in duplicate. The initial rate of FMP or DiFMU formation is plotted against the concentration of inhibitor and the data was fitted to 4-parameter equation and the inflection point of the fit is the IC50.
