Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Fluorogenic Inhibition Assay
Description:  Boc-Lys(Ac)-7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (Boc-Lys(Ac)-AMC) was used as substrate for the HDAC assays. Substrate solution was prepared as follow: Boc(Lys-Ac)-AMC was dissolved in DMSO and diluted with HDAC buffer (15 mM Tris-HCl [pH 8.1], 250 M EDTA, 250 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol) to give 1 mM solutions containing 1.7% DMSO. Trypsin was used to stop the reaction, releasing free AMC. The trypsin solution was prepared as follow: trypsin was dissolved in HDAC buffer to give a concentration of 10 mg/mL. Release of AMC was monitored by measuring the fluorescence at 460 nm (lex=390 nm) with a microplate reader (SpectraMax Gemini) at 37° C. The AMC signals were recorded against a blank with buffer, substrate and trypsin but without the enzyme. All experiments were carried out at least in triplicate. For HDAC inhibition assays, inhibitor diluted in 50 μL of HDAC buffer was mixed with 10 μL of diluted enzyme solution in HDAC buffer at room temperature. The HDAC reaction was started by adding 40 μL of substrate solution in HDAC buffer followed by 30 min of incubation with stirring at 37° C. The reaction was stopped by adding 100 μL, of trypsin solution. After a 10 min incubation with stirring at 37° C., the release of AMC was monitored by measuring the fluorescence.
