| Description: | Compounds were solubilized and 3-fold diluted in 100% DMSO. These diluted compounds were further diluted in the assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.5, 50 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.01% Brij35, 1 mM DTT, 1% DMSO) for 10-dose IC50 mode at a concentration 10-fold greater than the desired assay concentration. Standard reactions were performed in a total volume of 50 in assay buffer, with histone H2A (5 μM final) as substrate. To this was added the PRMT5/MEP50 complex diluted to provide a final assay concentration of 5 nM and the compounds were allowed to preincubate for 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature. The reaction was initiated by adding S-[3H-methyl]-adenosyl-L-methionine (PerkinElmer) to final concentration of 1 M. Following a 60 minutes incubation at 30° C., the reaction was stopped by adding 100 μL of 20% TCA. Each reaction was spotted onto filter plate (MultiScreen FB Filter Plate, Millipore), and washed 5 times with PBS buffer, Scintillation fluid was added to the filter plate and read in a scintillation counter. IC50 values were determined by fitting the data to the standard 4 parameters with Hill Slope using GraphPad Prism software. |
