Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Dose-response confirmation of microRNA-mediated mRNA deadenylation inhibitors by fluoresence polarization assay
Description:  Data Source: Sanford-Burnham Center for Chemical Genomics (SBCCG) Source Affiliation: Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (SBMRI, San Diego, CA) Network: NIH Molecular Libraries Production Centers Network(MLPCN) Grant Number: R03 MH094198-01 Assay Provider: Kalle Gehring, Ph.D., McGill University The regulation of gene expression is a mechanism that allows cells to respond to growth and proliferation stimuli, stress, and nutrient availability. It is managed at multiple levels: mRNA expression, mRNA translation initiation and mRNA decay (1). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression to control a wide range of biological processes including cell growth, division and differentiation, as well as metabolism and development. The poly(A) tail of mRNA is bound by several molecules of the poly(A)-binding protein (PABP), an abundant cytoplasmic protein in eukaryotes that promotes translation (2). PABPC1 is a multi-domain protein t
