Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  ACC1 Enzyme Assay A1
Description:  For the assay, 50 nl of a 100-fold concentrated solution of the test substance in DMSO were pipetted into a black low-volume 384-well microtitre plate (Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany), 2 ul of a solution of ACC1 in assay buffer [50 mM HEPES/NaOH pH 7.5, 12 mM sodium bicarbonate, 2 mM MgCl2, 2 mM potassium citrate, 0.005% (w/v) bovine serum albumin (BSA)] were added and the mixture was incubated for 15 min to allow pre-binding of the substances to the enzyme prior to the enzyme reaction. The enzyme reaction was then started by addition of 3 ul of a solution of adenosine triphosphate (ATP, 83.5 uM=>the final concentration in 5 ul assay volume is 50 uM, Amersham Pharmacia Biotech #27-2056-01) and acetyl-CoA (33.4 uM=>the final concentration in 5 ul assay volume is 20 uM, Roche Bioscience #10101893001) in assay buffer, and the resulting mixture was incubated at 22° C. for a reaction time of 20 min. The concentration of the ACC1 was adjusted to the respective activity of the enzyme and set such that the assay was carried out in the linear range. Typical concentrations were in the range of 2.5 ng/ul. The reaction was stopped by successive addition of 2.5 ul of a solution of d2-labelled ADP (HTRF Transscreener ADP kit, C is biointernational, Marcoule, France) in EDTA-containing HTRF Transscreener ADP detection buffer (contained in the HTRF Transscreener ADP kit, 50 mM HEPES pH 7.0, 60 mM EDTA, 0.1% (w/v) BSA, 0.02% sodium azide, 400 mM potassium fluoride) and 2.5 ul of a solution of europium cryptate-labelled anti-ADP antibody (HTRF Transscreener ADP kit) in HTRF Transscreener ADP detection buffer. The resulting mixture was incubated at 22° C. for 1 h to allow binding of the europium cryptate-labelled anti-ADP antibody to the ADP formed by the enzyme reaction and the d2-labelled ADP.
