Description: | A synthetic APP substrate that can be cleaved by beta-secretase having N-terminal biotin and made fluorescent by the covalent attachment of Oregon Green at the Cys residue is used to assay beta-secretase activity in the presence or absence of the inhibitory compounds. The substrate is Biotin-GLTNIKTEEISEISY^EVEFR-C[Oregon Green]KK-OH. The BACE1 enzyme is affinity purified material from conditioned media of CHO-K1 cells that have been transfected with a soluble BACE construct (BACE1delta96His). Compounds are incubated in a log dose response curve from a top concentration of 100 μM with BACE1 enzyme and the biotinylated fluorescent peptide in 384-well black plates (Thermo Scientific #4318). BACE1 is at a final concentration of 0.1 nM with a final concentration of peptide substrate of 150 nM in a reaction volume of 30 μL assay buffer [100 mM sodium acetate, pH 4.5 (brought to pH with acetic acid), and 0.001° A Tween-20]. Plates are covered and incubated for 3 hours at 37° C. The reaction is stopped with the addition of 30 μL of 1.5 μM Streptavidin (Pierce, #21125). After a 10 minute incubation at room temperature, plates are read on a PerkinElmer EnVision for fluorescence polarization (Ex485 nm/Em530 nm). The activity of the beta-secretase enzyme is detected by changes in the fluorescence polarization that occur when the substrate is cleaved by the enzyme. |
