| | Evaluation of the Inhibition of USP7 by the Fluorescence Intensity (FLINT) Readings |
| Description: | USP7 activity was measured using Rhodamine-110 c-terminal labelled Ubiquitin as a substrate (Viva Biosciences). Incubation with USP7 results in the release of Rhodamine-110 leading to an increase in fluorescence which can be used in the continuous measurement of USP7 activity.The USP7 reactions were performed in a 50 μL volume, in 384 well black solid low binding plates (Corning #3575). The reaction buffer consisted of 100 mM Bicine pH 8.0, 0.01% TritonX100, 1 mM TCEP, and 10% DMSO.0.25 nM His-His-USP7 (aa208-560, [C315A]) was incubated with compound (final concentration 10% DMSO) for 60 minutes at 30° C. The reaction was then initiated by the addition of 500 nM Ubiquitin-Rhodamine-110 substrate and the plate read every 3 minutes for 21 minutes to measure the release of Rhodamine-110. Fluorescence Intensity (FLINT) readings were measured using a Biomek Neo plate reader (Ex.485 nm, Em.535 nm).The inhibition of increasing doses of compound was expressed as a percentage reduction in kinetic rate compared to the kinetic rates established between DMSO only and total inhibition controls (no USP7). The inhibitory concentrations that gave a 50% reduction in kinetic rate (IC50) were determined, from 11-point dose response curves, in XL-Fit using a 4-Parameter Logistic Model (Sigmoidal Dose-Response Model). |
