| | Human O-GlcNAcase Enzyme Inhibition Assay |
| Description: | 5 μI of the appropriate concentration of a solution of inhibitor in McIlvaine's Buffer (pH 6.5) in 2% DMSO (for a dose response curve calculation) is added into each well of a 384-well plate (Greiner, 781900). Then, 20 nM of His-Tagged hOGA and 10 μM of FL-GlcNAc (Fluorescein mono-beta-D-(2-deoxy-2-N-acetyl) glucopyranoside; Marker Gene Technologies Inc, M1485) were added to the 384-well plate for a final volume of 20 μI. After incubation for 60 min at room temperature, the reaction was terminated by the addition of 10 μL of stop buffer (200 mM glycine, pH 10.75). The level of fluorescence (λex485 nm; (λemm520 nm) was read on a PHERAstar machine. The amount of fluorescence measured was plotted against the concentration of inhibitor to produce a sigmoidal dose response curve to calculate an IC50. All individual data was corrected by subtraction of the background (Thiamet 3 uM=100% inhibition) whilst 0.5% DMSO was considered as the control value (no inhibition). |
