Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Biochemical Assay for LSD1 Activity (15 minutes)
Description:  LSD1 demethylase reactions were carried out in 50 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% Tween-20, and 0.1 mg/mL BSA. All enzymatic reactions were performed for either 15 minutes at room temperature in a 10-μL volume. Five microliters of 800 nM biotinylated H3K4me1 peptide solution was added to each well of a black 384 well Proxiplate containing 80 nL compound (final concentration of 0.8% DMSO). Reactions were initiated by the addition of a mixture containing 20 nM LSD1 and 20 nM FAD (5 μL). Enzyme activity was stopped by the addition of 5 μL of high salt buffer consisting of 50 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 1.5 M NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% Tween-20, and 0.1 mg/mL BSA. Capture of the product peptide by the anti-H3K4me0 antibody and Streptavidin APC was allowed to proceed for 60 mM at room temperature before measuring the TR-FRET signal. Europium-labeled antibody and Streptavidin APC were used at final concentrations of 0.003 nM and 100 nM, respectively (total assay volume of 20 μL). Plates were read on a Perkin Elmer EnVision. Percent inhibition was calculated using Max (no inhibitor) and Min (quenched with stop buffer) controls and inhibition curves plotted to determine IC50 values.
