Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  IMAP TR-FRET assay
Description:  The IMAP TR-FRET PDE assay was optimized for concentration of enzyme, Calmodulin, cAMP or cGMP substrate, DMSO tolerance, and incubation time. Into each well of a solid white 1536 well plate (Corning) was dispensed 250 pg full-length recombinant NH-terminal GST tagged human PDE1b enzyme (BPS Bioscience Cat #60011, San Diego, Calif.) in 2.5 μL IMAP BSA reaction buffer (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.) containing 10 U/mL Calmodulin and 2.5 mM CaCl2 (Sigma Aldrich.) After a brief centrifugation, 30 nL compound was added by transfer from 1 mM stock in DMSO using a Kalypsys 1536 Pintool. Plates were incubated for 5 minutes at room temperature before dispensing 1.5 μL of 533 nM 5-carboxy fluorescein (FAM)-labeled cAMP (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.) for a final concentration of 200 nM. After a brief centrifugation, the plates were incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. The assay was terminated by adding 5 μL IMAP binding reagent/Tb complex (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.) to each well. Plates were incubated 1 hour at room temperature and read on a Viewlux multimode plate reader (Perkin Elmer). The instrument was set to excite using the DUG11 filter and measure using 490/10 nm and 520/10 nm filters.
