| Description: | Mouse VCP cDNA was added with a DNA sequence corresponding to histidine tag at the amino-terminal, subcloned into a baculovirus vector pVL1392 (BD Bioscience), and expressed in Sf-9 insect cells. The protein was purified with a nickel column (GE Healthcare). The concentration of the protein was adjusted to 0.25-0.5 ug/ml and the protein was stored in a solution containing 50 mM TrisCl pH 8.0, 5 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol, and 15 mM DTT. The ATPase activity was determined as follows. 500 ng of the purified VCP was mixed with 100 uM [gamma-32P]ATP (18.5 GBq/mmol) and the test substance in 20 uL of ATPase buffer (20 mM HEPES (pH7.4), 50 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 15 mM DTT), and incubated at 37° C. for 10 minutes.The enzyme reaction was stopped with addition of 200 uL of an ice-cold solution containing 7% TCA and 1 mM K2HPO4. 50ul of a solution containing 3.75% ammonium molybdate and 0.02M tungstate silicic/3 NH2SO4 was added, followed by 300 uL of n-butylacetic acid. |
