| Description: | The enzymatic assay of JMJD3 activity is based upon Time Resolved-Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (TR-FRET) detection. The ability of test compounds to inhibit the activity of JMJD3 was determined in 384-well plate format under the following reaction conditions: 5 nM JMJD3, 250 nM H3K27me3-biotin labeled peptide (Anaspec cat #64367), 0.4 to 2 μM alpha-ketoglutaric acid in assay buffer of 50 mM HEPES, pH7.3, 0.005% Brij35, 0.5 mM TCEP, 0.2 mg/ml BSA, 50 μM sodium L-ascorbate, and 5 μM ammonium iron(II) sulfate. Reaction product was determined quantitatively by TR-FRET after the addition of detection reagent Phycolink Streptavidin-allophycocyanin (Prozyme) and Europium-anti-di-methylated histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me2) antibody (PerkinElmer) in the presence of 5 mM EDTA in LANCE detection buffer (PerkinElmer) at a final concentration of 50 nM and 1 nM, respectively.The assay reaction was initiated by the following: 2 μl of the mixture of 750 nM H3K27me3-biotin labeled peptide and 1.2 to 6 μM alpha-ketoglutaric acid with 2 μL of 11-point serial diluted inhibitor in 3% DMSO were added to each well of plate, followed by the addition of 2 μl of 15 nM JMJD3 to initiate the reaction. The reaction mixture was incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes, and terminated by the addition of 6 μL of 5 mM EDTA in LANCE detection buffer containing 100 nM Phycolink Streptavidin-allophycocyanin and 2 nM Europium-anti-H3K27me2 antibody. Plates were read by EnVisionMultilabel Reader in TR-FRET mode (excitation at 320 nm, emission at 615 nm and 665 nm) after 1 hour incubation at room temperature. A ratio from the readout of 665/615 was calculated for each well and fitted to determine inhibition constant (IC50). |
