| | Human LXRalpha and LXRbeta Coactivator Recruitment FRET Assay |
| Description: | This assay is based on the ability of the LXR-LBDs (LXRα and LXRβ) to recruit and interact with a co-activator peptide. This assay was run in agonist mode, to characterize compounds of the invention that exhibit LXR agonist activity, and in antagonist mode to characterize compounds of the invention having LXR antagonist activity and which cause a concentration-dependent release of the co-activator peptide in the presence of the full LXR agonist T0901317. The interaction between glutathione S-transferase (GST)-tagged, recombinant human LXRα-LBD or LXRβ-LBD and fluorescein-conjugated co-activator peptide SRC2-3 (Cat# PV4588, Life Technologies, Grand Island, N.Y.) was measured via time resolved-fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET). The assay was performed in 96-well half-area black Opti-plates (Cat# 3686, Corning, Lowell, Mass.) in 20 mM TRIS-HCl buffer, pH 8, containing 150 mM NaCl and 5 mM DDT in a total volume of 80 μL. Test compounds were dissolved in DMSO, and semi-log (3.162×) serial dilutions were also prepared in DMSO, as 40× solutions. |
