| | Inhibition of Recombinant PDE10A |
| Description: | The DNA of PDE10A1 (AB 020593, 2340 bp) was synthesized and cloned into the vector pCR4. TOPO (Entelechon GmbH, Regensburg, Germany). The gene was than inserted into a baculovirus vector, ligated with the baculovirus DNA. The protein was expressed in SF21-cells and isolated from these cells.The cells were harvested and collected by centrifugation at 500 g. The cells were resuspended in 50 mM Tris-HCl/1 mM EDTA/250 mM Sucrose buffer, pH=7.4 (Sigma, Deisenhofen, Germany; Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) and lysed by sonification of the cells (three times for 15 seconds, Labsonic U, Fa. Braun, Degersheim, Switzerland, level high). The cytosolic PDE10A was obtained by a centrifugation at 48,000 g for 1 h in the supernatant and stored at −70° C. PDE activity was determined in a one step procedure in microtiter plates. The reaction mixture of 100 μl contained 50 mM Tris-HCl/5 mM MgCl2 buffer (pH=7.4, Sigma, Deisenhofen, Germany; Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) 0.1 μM [3H]-cAMP (PerkinElmer, Shelton, USA) and the enzyme. Non-specific enzyme activity was determined without the enzyme. |
