| Description: | Ketoglutaric acid α-[1-14C]-sodium salt, alpha-ketoglutaric acid sodium salt, and HPLC purified peptide may be obtained from commercial sources, e.g., Perkin-Elmer (Wellesley Mass.), Sigma-Aldrich, and SynPep Corp. (Dublin Calif.), respectively. Peptides for use in the assay may be fragments of HIFα as described above or as disclosed in International Publication WO 2005/118836, incorporated by reference herein. HIF-pH, e.g., PHD1 (EGLN2) or PHD2 (EGLN1), can be expressed in, e.g., insect Hi5 cells, and partially purified, e.g., through a SP ion exchange chromatography column. Enzyme activity is determined by capturing 14CO2 using an assay described by Kivirikko and Myllyla (1982, Methods Enzymol. 82:245-304). Assay reactions contain 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 100 μM α-ketoglutaric acid sodium salt, 0.30 mCi/mL ketoglutaric acid α-[1-14C]-sodium salt, 40 μM FeSO4, 1 mM ascorbate, 1541.8 units/mL Catalase, with or without 50 μM peptide substrate and various concentrations of compound of the invention. Reactions are initiated by addition of HIF-PH enzyme. |
