Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Biochemical Assay
Description:  Inhibitor potency was evaluated by measuring enzymatic activity of full length MALT1 at varying concentrations of compound. The enzymatic assay consists of a single substrate reaction that monitors the release of a fluorescent dye upon cleavage of the peptide substrate. The peptide substrate has the following sequence: Ac-Leu-Arg-Ser-Arg-Rh110-dPro (custom synthesis from WuXi AppTec, Shanghai, China). The assay buffer consists of 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.5, 0.8 M sodium citrate, 1 mM DTT, 0.004% tween-20, and 0.005% bovine serum albumin (BSA). Steady-state kinetic analysis of peptide substrate binding resulted in a Michaelis-Menten constant (KM) of 150 μM. The assay was performed in a 384-well F-bottom polypropylene, black microplate (Greiner Bio_One, Catalog no. 781209) at 15 nM enzyme and 30 μM peptide substrate. The reaction was quenched after 60 minutes with the addition of iodoacetate at a final concentration of 10 mM. Total fluorescence was measured using an Envision (PerkinElmer) with fluorescence excitation at 485 nm and emission at 520 mm.
