Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Biochemical Assay
Description:  Compounds were solubilized and 3-fold diluted in 100% DMSO. These diluted compounds were further diluted in the assay buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 50 mM NaCl, 0.0020 Tween20, 1 mM TCEP, 1% DMSO) for 10-dose IC50mode at a concentration 10-fold greater than the desired assay concentration. Standard reactions were performed in a total volume of 30 μl in assay buffer, with 300 nM histone H4 based AcH4-23 (Anaspec: AS-65002) as substrate. To this was added the PRMT5/MEP50 complex diluted to provide a final assay concentration of 2.5 nM and the compounds were allowed to preincubate for 20 minutes at 37° C. The reaction was initiated by adding S-[3H-methyl]-adenosyl-L-methionine (PerkinElmer: NET155001MC) to final concentration of 1 μM. Following a 30 minutes incubation at 37° C., the reaction was stopped by adding 25 μL of 8M Guanidine HCl. Prepare streptavidin YSI SPA beads (Perkinelmer: RPNQ0012) at 0.3 mg/mL in assay buffer. To each reaction, add 150 μL of SPA beads suspension, and incubated while shaking at room temperature for 30 minutes. The plate was centrifuged at 100×g for 30 second before reading in a scintillation counter.
