| Description: | Malonyl CoA formation by acetyl CoA carboxylases is stoichometrically linked to the consumption of ATP. ACC2 activity is measured in a NADH-linked kinetic method measuring ADP generated during the ACC reaction using a coupled lactate dehydrogenase/pyruvate kinase reaction.For biological testing, a human ACC2 construct which lacks the 128 amino acids at the N-terminus for increased solubility (nt 385-6966 in Genbank entry AJ575592) is cloned. The protein is then expressed in insect cells using a baculoviral expression system. Protein purification is performed by anion exchange.All compounds are dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to a concentration of 10 mM.Assay reactions are then carried out in 384-well plates, with hACC2 in an appropriate dilution and at final assay concentrations (f.c.) of 100 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 10 mM trisodium citrate, 25 mM KHCO3, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mg/ml BSA, 3.75 mM reduced L-glutathione, 15 U/ml lactate dehydrogenase, 0.5 mM phosphoenolpyruvate. |
