Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  ERRalpha AlphaScreen Assay
Description:  Compounds of the present invention were tested for their ability to disrupt binding of ERRα-LBD protein to co-activator peptide using AlphaScreen® Technology (Perkin Elmer). ERRα-LBD protein was expressed in E. coli as a 6×His Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier (SUMO) fusion. Bacterial expressed 6His-SUMO-ERRα-LBD protein was purified using affinity chromatography. All experiments were performed at room temperature in 384-well white non-binding plates (Greiner) using 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 0,1% Pluronic F-127, 0.05% BSA and 5 mM TCEP as the buffer. Final DMSO concentration was 1% in the assay. Compounds were assayed in triplicate and: incubated with 0.81 nM ERRα-LBD protein and 10 μg/mL streptavidin donor beads and 10 μg/mL Ni-chelate acceptor beads for 1 hour at room temperature; followed by a 2-hour incubation with 15 nM biotin-PGC1α-3 peptide (QRRPCSELLKYLTTNDDPP) corresponding to amino acids 202 to 220.The AlphaScreen signal was measured using an Envision Xcite plate reader (Perkin Elmer). Data was normalized, and curve fitting analysis was performed in GraphPad Prism 7 using a four-parameter dose-response fit.
