Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Human Vanin-1 Enzyme Assay 1
Description:  The vanin-1 protein was prepared in-house from a construct expressing the extracellular domain of human vanin-1 (GenBank ID NM_004666) preceded N-terminally by the honey bee melittin signal peptide, a GSG linker sequence, a His6X tag and a FLAG tag. The secreted, soluble enzyme was purified from the conditioned medium from a CHO cell line stably expressing the resulting protein. Enzyme purification was performed through sequential Ni NTA and size-exclusion chromatography steps.The test inhibitors were solubilized in DMSO to a stock concentration of 30 mM. On the day of the assay, dose response plates were prepared by diluting the inhibitors in DMSO at compound concentration 200-fold the final in-assay concentration. Intermediate concentrations were prepared by diluting in DMSO in a four-fold series for a total of 11 data points.To prepare a working solution of human vanin-1, the enzyme was diluted to 33.3 pM in the assay buffer consisting of 50 mM Tris-HCl pH=8.0, 50 mM KCl, 0.005% Brij-35 and 1.6 mM cysteamine. To begin the assay 100 nL was transferred from the compound plate to the assay plate. Next, 15 μL of the vanin-1 working solution were transferred to the assay plate. The inhibitor and enzyme were incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. The enzyme reaction was then initiated by the addition of 5 μL of 200 μM pantetheine 7-amino-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin prepared in assay buffer. The final concentrations in the assay were 25 pM human vanin-1 and 50 uM substrate. The final concentration of DMSO was 0.5%. The assay plates were incubated for 60 minutes and before they were read on a Perkin Elmer EnVision Model 2103 using a 405 nm excitation wavelength and a 510 nm emission wavelength for detection.
