| BRD4-H4 Tetraacetylated Peptide Inhibition AlphaScreen |
Description: | This assay is used to determine whether the compounds inhibit the interaction between the first (BRD4-BD1) or the second (BRD4-BD2) bromodomain of BRD4 and the tetraacetylated histone H4 peptide.Compounds are diluted in serial dilution 1:5 in assay buffer from 10 mM stock in DMSO (100 μM start concentration) in white OptiPlate-384 (PerkinElmer). A mix consisting of 15 nM GST-BRD4-BD1 protein (aa 44-168) or 150 nM GST-BRD4-BD2 (aa 333-460) and 15 nM biotinylated Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys5, 8, 12, 16) peptide is prepared in assay buffer (50 mM HEPES pH=7.4; 25 mM NaCl; 0.05% Tween 20; 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA); 10 mM dithiothreitol (DTT)). 6 μl of the mix is added to the compound dilutions. Subsequently, 6 μl of premixed AlphaLISA Glutathione Acceptor Beads and AlphaScreen Streptavidin Donor Beads from PerkinElmer (in assay buffer at a concentration of 10 μg/ml each) are added and the samples are incubated for 30 min at RT in the dark (shaking 300 rpm). Afterwards, the signal is measured in a PerkinElmer Envision HTS Multilabel Reader using the AlphaScreen protocol from PerkinElmer.Each plate contains negative controls where biotinylated Acetyl-Histone H4 peptide and GST-BRD4-BD1 or GST-BRD4-BD2 are left out and replaced by assay buffer. Negative control values are entered as low basis value when using the software GraphPad Prism for calculations. Furthermore, a positive control (probe molecule JQ1+ with protein/peptide mix) is pipetted. Determination of IC50 values are carried out using GraphPad Prism 3.03 software (or updates thereof). |
