| | In Vitro CBP Inhibition |
| Description: | The CBP-inhibitory activity of the compounds described herein was determined by calculating the IC50. More specifically, CBP inhibitor activity was assayed as follows: CBP was cloned and expressed in E. coli as His-tag protein and purified by Nickel affinity and gel-filtration chromatography. The protein was further characterized as a single band with the correct molecular weight by SDS-PAGE. CBP binding and inhibition is assessed by monitoring the interaction of biotinylated H4-tetraacetyl peptide (AnaSpec, H4K5/8/12/16(Ac), biotin-labeled) with the target using the AlphaScreen technology (Perkin Elmer). In a 384-well ProxiPlate CBP (50 nM final) was combined with peptide (20 nM final) in 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.3), 10 mM NaCl, 0.25 mM TCEP, 0.1% (w/v) BSA, and 0.005% (w/v) Brij-35 either in the presence of DMSO (final 0.4% DMSO) or compound dilution series in DMSO. After 20 min incubation at room temp, Alpha-streptavidin donor beads and Nickel Chelate acceptor beads were added to a final concentration of 5 μg/mL. After 2 hr of equilibration, plates were read on an Envision instrument and the IC50 calculated using a four parameter non-linear curve fit. |
