Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Biochemical Assay
Description:  The full length p300 SPA assay was run following the same protocol as p300 HAT SPA assay, but used 6 nM purified full length p300 (purchased from Active Motif) in place of the purified p300-HAT domain.Select compounds were also evaluated in a H3K18Ac MSD cellular assay that measures the ability of compounds to inhibit the the acetylation of chromatin at H3K18, a process catalyzed by p300 and CBP. In a typical experiment the p300 HAT inhibitory activity inside cells of the compounds described herein was determined in accordance with the following experimental method. 20 k HCT-116 cells per well are plated in 75 μL RPMI+10% FBS media the night before treatment. Compounds plated in DMSO at 4× final concentration are resuspended in 30 μL RPMI+10% FBS, then 25 μL is combined with corresponding wells containing cells. Treated cells are incubated for 2 hr at 37° C., then lysed in 500 μL final volume and frozen at −80° C. MSD plates (Meso Scale Discovery) are coated overnight at 4° C. with 60 μL 1:500 α-total histone antibody (Millipore MAB3422) in PBS. Plates are then blocked with 5% BSA in TBST shaking at RT for 1 hr, washed, and 30 μL lysate added to each well for 2 hr shaking at RT. Plates are washed and 25 μL 1:216 α-H3K18ac antibody (CST 9675) in PBS added, then incubated for 1 hr shaking at RT. Plates are washed again, then 25 μL 1:1000 Sulfo-Tag goat α-rabbit antibody (Meso Scale Discovery R32Ab-1) in PBS is added for 1 hr shaking at RT. Plates are washed once more, then 150 μL 1× Read Buffer (MSD #R92TD-3) is added to all wells and read on MSD SECTOR Imager 2400 using the conventional read setup.
