| | In Vitro Bromodomain Inhibition Assay |
| Description: | To measure activity of bromodomain inhibitors, a His-epitope tagged BRD4 BD149-170 is purchased from BPS Bioscience. BRD4 binding and inhibition is assessed by monitoring the engagement of biotinylated H4-tetraacetyl peptide (H4K5/8/12/16; AnaSpec #64989-025) with the target using the AlphaLSA technology (Perkin-Elmer). Specifically, in a 384 well OptiPlate, BRD4(BD1) (200 nM final) is pre-incubated with either DMSO (final 1.0% DMSO) or a compound dilution series in DMSO. All reagents are diluted in assay buffer containing 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 100 mM NaCl, 0.1% (w/v) BSA, and 0.05% (w/v) CHAPS. After a 30 minute incubation at rt, H4 peptide is added (200 nM final) and the reaction is incubated an additional 30 minutes at rt. Alpha streptavidin donor beads and AlphaLSA nickel chelate acceptor beads are then added to a final concentration of 10 μg/mL each. After one hour, equilibration plates are read on an Envision instrument and IC50s calculated using a four parameter non-linear curve fit. |
