| BACE Enzyme Assay (Ex.435) |
Description: | For each compound being tested, the BACE activity was monitored in a fluorescence quenching assay (FRET) using the ectodomain of BACE (aa 1-454) fused to a myc-his tag and secreted from HEK293/BACEect. cells into OptiMEM (Invitrogen) as enzyme source and a substrate peptide derived from the APP-Swedish mutation which possesses a Cy3-fluorophore at the N-terminus and a Cy5Q-quencher at the C-terminus (Cy3-SEVNLDAEFK-Cy5Q-NH2; Amersham). The substrate was dissolved at 1 mg/mL in DMSO.The assay was performed in the presence of 5 ul OptiMEM (supernatant collected over 24 hours and cleared from cellular debris by centrifugation) containing the ectodomain of BACE, 25 ul water containing the desired concentration of test compound and 1% DMSO, substrate peptide, 20 mM NaOAc, pH 4.4 and 0.04% Triton-X100 in a total assay volume of 50 ul in a 384 well plate. In general, 25 ul of compound dilution were given to the plate followed by the addition of 10 ul of BACE. |
