Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Time-Resolved Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (TR-FRET) Assay
Description:  Equal volumes of His-tagged CRBN-DDB1 complex (56 nM) was mixed with Eu-cryptate labeled Anti-6HIS-monoclonal antibody (50× dilution from the commercial stock solution, Vender: Cisbio, Cat. #61HI2KLA) in a final buffer containing 20 mM HEPES pH 7.0, 150 mM NaCl, 0.005% Tween-20. The solution was then mixed with Cy5-labeled thalidomide (final 8 nM) and various concentrations of compounds (a serial 3-fold dilution with the top concentration 200 uM). The mixture were incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. FRET signals were measured on an EnVision plate reader (Perkin Elmer) by exciting at 340 nm and recording emission at both 615 nm as no FRET control and 665 nm as the FRET signals with a 60 microsecond delay. FRET efficiency was calculated as the ratio of fluorescent signals at 665 nM/615 nM. Quantitative loss of FRET efficiency as a function of compound concentrations was fitted by a four-parameter Logistic Function using GraphPad Prism 7.0 and the IC50 values were reported for each compound.
