| Description: | All assays were performed in 384 well microtiter plates. Each assay plate contained 8-point serial dilutions for 40 test compounds, plus 16 high- and 16 low controls. Liquid handling and incubation steps were done on an Innovadyne Nanodrop Express equipped with a robotic arm (Thermo CatX, Perkin Elmer/Caliper Twister II) and an incubator (Liconic STX40, Thermo Cytomat 2C450). The assay plates were prepared by addition of 50 nl per well of compound solution in 90% DMSO HummingBird nanodispenser (Zinsser Analytic). The assay was started by stepwise addition of 4.5 μl per well of bromo domain protein (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.005% Tween20, 0.1% BSA, 50 mM NaCl, 45 nM His-Brd2(60-472) or 45 nM His-Brd3(20-477) or 45 nM His-Brd4(44-477) all proteins produced in-house) and 4.5 μl per well of peptide solution (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.005% Tween20, 0.1% BSA, 50 mM NaCl, 60 nM acetyl-histone H4 (AcK 5, 8, 12, 16) (Biosyntan GmbH)). Reactions were incubated at 30° C. for 35 minutes. Subsequently 4.5 μl per well detection mix (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.005% Tween20, 0.1% BSA, 50 mM NaCl, 3 nM Eu-labeled anti-His6 antibody, 21 nM streptavidin-allophycocyanin) were added. After 35 minutes incubation at 30° C., plates were measured in a Perkin Elmer EnVision multilabel reader. Concentrations causing 50% inhibition (IC50 values) were determined from percent inhibition values at different compound concentrations by non-linear regression analysis. |
