| | HSP90 Competition Binding (Fluorescence Polarization) Assay |
| Description: | A fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) labeled GM was purchase from InvivoGen (ant-fgl-1). The interaction between HSP90 and labeled GM forms the basis for the fluorescence polarization assay. A free and fast-tumbling FITC labeled GM emits random light with respect to the plane of polarization plane of excited light, resulting in a lower polarization degree (mP) value. When GM is bound to HSP90, the complex tumble slower and the emitted light is polarized, resulting in a higher mP value. This competition binding assay was performed in 96-well plate and with each assay contained 10 and 50 nM of labeled GM and purified HSP90 protein (Assay Design, SPP-776F) respectively. The assay buffer contained 20 mM HEPES (pH 7.3), 50 mM KCl, 1 mM DTT, 50 mM MgCl2, 20 mM Na2MoO4, 0.01% NP40 with 0.1 mg/ml bovine gamma-globulin. Compounds are diluted in DMSO and added to the final assay before labeled GM with concentration range from 20 uM to 2 nM. mP value was determined by BioTek Synergy II with background subtraction after 24 hours of incubation at 4° C. |
