Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Biochemical Assay
Description:  The enzymatic activity of hTNKS1 and hTNKS2 is assessed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) which detects poly ADP ribose incorporated into plate-bound Telomeric repeat binding factor 1 (TRF1) protein (NCBI, Accession number NP_059523.2 (SEQ ID NO: 1) in a 384-well format. Using recombinant hTNKS1 (NCBI, Accession number NP_003738.2 (SEQ ID NO: 2) or hTNKS2 (NCBI, Accession number NP_079511.1 (SEQ ID NO: 3) enzyme, this assay uses biotinylated NAD+ and measures its incorporation into recombinant hTRF1 using a streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugate and TMB peroxidase substrate to generate a colorimetric signal. Recombinant Flag-tagged hTRF1 protein is generated by expressing full length human TRF1 protein with an N-terminal Flag tag in E. coli. Recombinant Flag-hTNKS1 (with a change of Q83P) protein is generated by expressing full length human TNKS1 with an N-terminal Flag tag in Baculovirus according to the manufacturer's protocol of Bac-to-Bac Baculovirus Expression system (Invitrogen; See also Invitrogen User Manual, Version F, dated 4 Sep. 2010; and Invitrogen Instruction Manual dated 27 Feb. 2002). The Flag tags on hTRF1 and hTNK1 are used only for purification of the enzymes and are not otherwise involved in the ELISA assay.
