Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Mobility Shift Assay
Description:  Compound activity was determined using in house His tagged full-length PTPN1 protein (SEQ ID NO: 3) in an in vitro enzymatic reaction. The enzymatic assay used to determine activity is a mobility shift assay using a LabChip EZ Reader by Caliper Life Sciences. The enzymatic reaction was carried out in assay buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 1 mM EGTA, 10 mM EDTA, 0.01% Tween 20, and 2 mM DTT). The compounds were dispensed on a white 384 well ProxiPlate™ (PerkinElmer Cat #6008289) plate using a Labcyte Echo liquid handler at varying concentrations (12 point, 1:3 dilution). The enzyme (at 0.5 nM) was incubated with compound for 10 minutes at room temperature. Thereafter, the substrate (phosphorylated insulin receptor probe sequence: ((OG488)-(NH-CH2-CH2-O-CH2-CH2-O-CH2-CO)-T-R-D-I-(PY)-E-T-D-Y-Y-R-K-K-NH2) (SEQ ID NO: 2) was added at 2 μM to the plates and incubated for another 10 minutes at room temperature. Finally, a quench solution (water and 4-bromo-3-(2-oxo-2-propoxyethoxy)-5-(3-{[1-(phenylmethanesulfonyl)piperidin-4-yl]amino}phenyl)thiophene-2-carboxylic acid) was added to the plates, which were then run on the EZ Reader (excitation 488 nm, emission 530 nm) to measure % conversion (the amount of phosphorylated substrate which was de-phosphorylated by PTPN1). Each plate had a 100% control (inhibitor: 4-bromo-3-(2-oxo-2-propoxyethoxy)-5-(3-{[1-(phenylmethanesulfonyl)piperidin-4-yl]amino}phenyl)thiophene-2-carboxylic acid) and 0% control (DMSO), which were used to calculate % inhibition. The % inhibition was then used to calculate the IC50 values.
