Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Biochemical binding TR-FRET assay
Description:  The assay was constructed such that GST tagged Mcl-1 protein, was incubated with a Europium-labeled anti-GST antibody and a HyLite Fluor 647-labeled peptide corresponding to the BH3 domain of BIM. Compound IC50 values were assessed following a 10-point, half-log10 dilution schema starting at 100 μM or 10 μM compound concentration. Specifically, human Mcl-1 enzyme from Mcl-1 (E171-G327) was cloned into an overexpression vector, expressed as an N-terminal GST-tagged fusion protein in E. coli and subsequently purified via Glutathione Sepharose-affinity and size-exclusion chromatography. The assay was performed in 384-Well LV plates (Greiner cat #784075) and run in the presence and absence of the compound of interest. Each well of 12 μL assay mixture contained 10 mM Tris (pH 7.4), 1.0 mM DTT, 0.005% Tween-20, 150 mM NaCl, 10% DMSO, and 1.5 nM GST Mcl-1, 0.5 nM LanthaScreen Eu tagged GST antibody (Invitrogen Catalog # PV5594), 4.0 nM HyLite Fluor 647-labeled BIM peptide [C(Hilyte647 C2 Maleimide)-WIAQELRRIGDEFN (SEQ ID NO:1)]. Reactions were incubated at 24° C. for 90 min before reading on a Tecan M1000 spectrfluorometer with excitation at 340 nm and emission at 612 nm & 665 nm. Subsequently, ratio of fluorescent emission intensity at 665 nm to 612 nm was calculated for each reaction, and the dose-response of the ratio to testing compound concentration was fitted to a select fit model that will provide the best fit quality using automatic parameter to derive IC50 values for each testing compound.
