Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibition of Human DPPI (Cathepsin C)
Description:  The recombinant human DPPI was diluted in TAGZyme buffer to 1 U/ml (38.1 μg/ml, respectively), and then activated by mixing in a 1:2 ratio with a Cysteamine aqueous solution (2 mM) and incubating for 5 min at room temperature. Five uL test compound (final concentration 0.1 nM to 100 μM) in aqua bidest 5 (containing 4% DMSO, final DMSO concentration 1%) were mixed with 10 μL of DPPI in MES buffer (final concentration 0.0125 ng/μL) and incubated for 10 min. Then, 5 μL of substrate in MES buffer (final concentration 50 μM) were added. The microtiter plates were then incubated at room temperature for 30 min. Then, the reaction was stopped by adding 10 μL of Gly-Phe-DMK in 10 MES-buffer (final concentration 1 μM). The fluorescence in the wells was determined using a Molecular Devices SpectraMax M5 Fluorescence Reader (Ex 360 nm, Em 460 nm) or an Envision Fluorescence Reader (Ex 355 nm, Em 460 nm).Each assay microtiter plate contained wells with vehicle controls (1% DMSO in bidest+0.075% 15 BSA) as reference for non-inhibited enzyme activity (100% Ctl; high values) and wells with inhibitor (Gly-Phe-DMK, in bidest+1% DMSO+0.075% BSA, final concentration 1 μM) as controls for background fluorescence (0% Ctl; low values). The analysis of the data was performed by calculating the percentage of fluorescence in the presence of test compound in comparison to the fluorescence of the vehicle control after 20 subtracting the background fluorescence using the following formula:(RFU(sample)−RFU(background))*100/(RFU(control)−RFU(background))
