Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  CRBN-DDB1/BRD4 Dimerization Assay
Description:  AlphaScreen technology was used to detect CRBN-DDB1/BRD4 dimerization induced by dBET molecules. In brief, GST-BRD4[49-170] (Sigma Aldrich) and CRBN-DDB1 (6×HIS-tagged) were diluted to 125 nM and 250 nM, respectively, in assay buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 200 mM NaCl, 1 mM TCEP, and 0.1% BSA), and 20 uL of protein mixture was added to each well of a 384-well AlphaPlate (PerkinElmer). Compounds were then added at 100 nL per well from DMSO stock plates using a Janus Workstation (PerkinElmer). After 1 hr incubation at room temperature, Nickel Chelate AlphaLISA Acceptor and Glutathione AlphaLISA Donor beads (PerkinElmer) were diluted in assay buffer to a 2× concentration (20 ng/ul) and added at 20 uL per well. Plates were incubated for 1 hr at room temperature prior to luminescence detection on an Envision 2104 plate reader (PerkinElmer). For competition assays, GST-BRD4[49-170] and CRBN-DDB1 were diluted as above in the presence of 111 nM dBET1. Compound addition and subsequent detection was performed as described above.Data were analyzed and plotted using GraphPad PRISM v6.
