| Description: | The test compounds are dissolved in 100% DMSO at a concentration of 10 mM and in a first step diluted in DMSO to a concentration of 5 mM, followed by serial dilution steps in 100% DMSO. Dilution factor and number of dilution steps may vary according to needs. Typically 8 different concentrations by 1:5 dilutions are prepared, a further intermediate dilutions of the substances is carried out with assay buffer resulting in 1% final DMSO concentration in the assay.0.1 nM of FLAG-tagged Vanin-1 (AA 22-493, T26I, produced internally) and test compounds are incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes in assay buffer (1 mM DTT, 0.0025% Brij-35, 50 mM HEPES, pH7.5). D-Pantethine (Sigma, Cat #P2125-5G) in assay buffer is added (final concentration 3 μM) and incubated for additional 30 minutes at room temperature. Total assay volume typically is 40 μl but might be adjusted according to needs. Reaction is stopped by adding equal volume of stop solution as the reaction mixture to reach 100 nM HD-pantothenic acid (as an internal standard) and 1% TFA. Assay plates are centrifuged for 2 minutes and the formation of pantothenic acid is detected by RapidFire Mass Spectrometry (mobile phase A: 0.1% formic acid and 0.01% trifluoroacetic acid in water; mobile phase B: 47.5% acetonitrile, 47.5% methanol, 0.1% formic acid and 0.01% trifluoroacetic acid in water) using a C18, 12 μL cartridge (Agilent Cat #G9205A). |
