| Description: | MAT2A enzyme is incubated with a test compound in DMSO or DMSO and its substrates (L-methionine and ATP) in a microtiter plate. The enzymatic reaction is stopped by the addition of Working Phosphate Sensor Mixture. The plate is analyzed for fluorescence at 450 nm. The high control (DMSO with enzyme and its substrates) gives high fluorescence which represents no inhibition of enzymatic activity while the low control (DMSO with MAT2A substrates and no enzyme) gives low fluorescence which represents full inhibition of enzymatic activity.Materials:Human MAT2A: Cepter, amino acids 1-395Tris, pH 7.5: Invitrogen cat #15567-027KCl: Ambion cat #AM9640GMgCl2: Ambion cat #AM9530GBrij-35: Sigma cat B4184-10MLDTT: Goldbio cat #DTT100BGG: Sigma cat #G5009-25GPNP: Novus Biologicals cat #NBP1-508727-MEG: Cayman Chemical cat #15988L-Methionine: Alfa Aesar cat #J61904ATP: Alfa Aesar cat #J60336Phosphate Sensor: Thermo Fisher cat #PV4407EDTA: Life Tech cat #15575-038Assay plate: 384-well black polypropylene plate: Thomas Scientific cat #1149Q35Final Assay Conditions:Assay Buffer: 50 mM Tris, pH 7.5/50 mM KCl/10 mM MgCl2/0.01% Brij-35/1 mM DTT/0.1% BGG/40 nM PNP/6 uM 7-MEGMAT2A: 10 nM for Cepter clone ID 329, lot 00023-123 before the addition of Working Phosphate Sensor Mixture 5 nM for Cepter clone ID 334, lot 00023-148 before the addition of Working Phosphate Sensor MixtureL-methionine: 500 uM before the addition of Working Phosphate Sensor MixtureATP: 500 uM before the addition of Working Phosphate Sensor MixtureProcedure:For the assay, a mixture of 1 mM L-methionine/1 mM ATP (2× final pre-stopped concentration) in assay buffer; MAT2A (2× final pre-stopped concentration) in Assay Buffer and Working Phosphate Sensor Mixture (1.5 uM Phosphate Sensor/30 mM EDTA in Assay Buffer, which is 3× final concentrations) were prepared. Test compounds or DMSO were added to the appropriate well suing D300e digital dispenser. 5 μl/well of Assay Buffer was added to the wells corresponding to the negative control and 5 μl/well of MAT2A was added to all the wells except for those corresponding to the negative control. After incubating the plate at room temperature for 15 minutes, 5 μl/well of the 1 mM L-methionine/1 mM ATP mixture was added to all wells. The plate was centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 1 minute and then incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. 5 μl of the Working Phosphate Sensor Mixture was added to all wells and the plate was centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 1 minute. The plate was read for fluorescence at 450 nm after exciting at 430 nm. |
