| | 35S-GTPgammaS Binding |
| Description: | Measurements of 35S-GTPgammaS Binding: Membranes (1 to 10 ug protein) prepared as described above, were incubated in 96-well Scintiplates (PerkinElmer) with test compounds diluted in DMSO, in 180 ul of 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 2 ug/well Saponin, 0.2% fatty acid free BSA (Assay buffer), 140 mM NaCl and 1.7 uM GDP. The assay was initiated with the addition of 20 ul of 1.5 nM [35S]-GTPgammaS (1100 Ci/mmol; GE Healthcare) in assay buffer. After 60 min incubation at 30° C. on a shaker, plates were centrifuged for 10 min at 2000 RPM. Supernatant was discarded and membrane bound radioactivity was measured on a PerkinElmer 1450 MicroBeta counter. Triplicate samples were averaged and expressed as % response relative to S1P activation in absence of compound (n=2). |
