Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  PCAF AlphaLisa Binding Assay
Description:  His/Flag epitope tagged PCAF719-832 bromodomain was cloned, expressed and purified to homogeneity in-house. PCAF bromodomain binding and inhibition of the compounds disclosed herein was assessed by monitoring the engagement of biotinylated small molecule ligand (known to bind to the PCAF bromodomain) with the target using the AlphaLisa technology (Perkin-Elmer). Specifically, in a 384 well ProxiPlate PCAF bromodomain (225 nM final) was combined with the biotinylated small molecule ligand (6 nM final) in 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 75 mM NaCl, 1 mM TCEP, 0.01% (w/v) BSA, and 0.008% (w/v) Brij-35 either in the presence of DMSO (final 0.2% DMSO) or compound dilution series in DMSO. After 15 minute incubation at room temperature AlphaLisa streptavidin acceptor beads and AlphaLisa nickel chelate donor beads were added to a final concentration of 12.5 μg/mL each. After 90 minutes of equilibration plates were read on an Envision instrument and IC50s calculated using a four parameter non-linear curve fit.
