| Description: | The GTPase activity of Drp1 was assayed using a colorimetric assay similar to as described previously by Leonard M. et al. Robust colorimetric assays for dynamin's basal and stimulated GTPase activities. Methods Enzymol. 2005, Vol. 404, pp. 490-503. Briefly, for GTPase assays of purified Drp1 inhibitor samples, 0.6 μM Drp1 preincubated with 0.1 mg/mL liposomes (consisting of 80% soybean lipids/20% cardiolipin) and inhibitor was added to 1 mM GTP in a microtiter plate for 20 min at 37° C. in 4 mM MgCl2, 10 mM Hepes (pH 7.0), 100 mM KCl, 1 mM DTT. Reactions were stopped by diluting with 0.5 mM EDTA. Samples were then incubated with malachite green reagent (1 mM malachite green and 50 mM ammonium molybdate in 1 N HCl), and the absorbance at 650 nm was measured. The reaction rates, IC50 values, and max % inhibition were determined using Excel/GraphPad Prism software. |
