| | Human Vanin-1 Enzyme Assay 2 |
| Description: | The vanin-1 protein was prepared in-house from a construct expressing the extracellular domain of human vanin-1 (GenBank ID NM_004666) preceded N-terminally by the honey bee melittin signal peptide, a GSG linker sequence, a His6X tag and a FLAG tag. The secreted, soluble enzyme was purified from the conditioned medium from a CHO cell line stably expressing the resulting protein. Enzyme purification was performed through sequential Ni NTA and size-exclusion chromatography steps.On the day of the assay, dose response plates were prepared by diluting the inhibitors in DMSO at compound concentration 100-fold the final in-assay concentration. Concentration series were prepared by serially diluting in DMSO in a half-log series for a total of 11 data points. Intermediate compound plates containing compound in 10% DMSO were then created by diluting the compounds 10-fold in assay buffer consisting of 50 mM Tris-HCl pH=8.0, 50 mM KCl, 0.005% Brij-35 and 1.5 mM cysteamine. To begin the assay 3 μL were transferred from the intermediate compound plate to the assay plate.A working solution of human vanin-1 was prepared by diluting the enzyme stock to 1.25 nM in assay buffer. Next, 24 μL of the vanin-1 working solution were transferred to the assay plate. The enzyme reaction was then initiated by the addition of 3 μL of 100 μM pantetheine 7-amino-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin prepared in assay buffer. The final concentrations in the assay were 1 nM human vanin-1 and 10 uM substrate. The final concentration of DMSO was 1%. The assay plates were incubated for 45 minutes and before they were read on a Spectramax M5 using a 405 nm excitation wavelength and a 505 nm emission wavelength for detection. |
