Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  AlphaScreen In-Vitro Binding Assay for CREBBP
Description:  In order to assess bromodomain selectivity, we set up a binding assay using the bromodomain encoded by the CREBBP gene. Compounds were tested in the CREBBP assay with a similar protocol, however using AlphaScreen (Amplified Luminescent Proximity Homogeneous Assay, Perkin Elmer) as detection readout instead of TR-FRET. 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, 0.02% BSA, 150 mM NaCl, 324 nM His-CREBBP (1081-1197) (custom production at Viva Biotech Ltd.)) and 4.5 μl per well of peptide solution (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.005% Tween20, 0.02% BSA, 150 mM NaCl, 120 nM acetyl-histone H4 (AcK 5, 8, 12) (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, 0.02% BSA, 150 mM NaCl, 45 μg/ml Ni-chelate acceptor beads, 45 μg/ml streptavidin-donor beads) (Perkin Elmer)) were added. After 60 minutes incubation at room temperature, plates were measured in a Perkin Elmer EnVision multilabel reader. IC50 values were determined from percent inhibition values at different compound concentrations by non-linear regression analysis.
