Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  TR-FRET Assay for BIR2 and BIR3
Description:  Ten nanomolar of 6× Histidine-tagged BIR2 domain, corresponding to amino acids 124-240 of XIAP, or BIR3 domain, corresponding to amino acids 241-356 of XIAP, was mixed with 20 nM of the peptide AVPIAQKSEK-(c-biotin)-OH 1:2 TFA, in the presence of 50 mM Tris-Cl, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) and 0.1 mg/mL bovine serum albumin (BSA). Following a 45 min. incubation at 37° C., Europium-Streptavidin and Allophycocyanin conjugated anti-Histidine antibody were added to a final concentration of 1.5 nM and 15 nM, respectively. Time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) signals were measured 1 hour later at room temperature. Test compound potency was assessed at 10 serially diluted concentrations. Percentage of inhibition at each concentration was determined to generate an IC50 value for each test compound.
