| | Alphascreen Binding Assay |
| Description: | Binding of compounds of formula (I) with bromodomain 2, 3 4 was assessed using Alphascreen binding assay. The inhibition of the interaction between bromodomain and its acetylated target protein (Filippakopoulos P et al. 2012) was measured quantitatively using recombinant BRD proteins, an acetylated Histone 4 peptide and AlphaScreen technology. In absence of inhibition the BRD protein bound to AlphaScreen nickel chelate acceptor beads can interact with the acetylated Histone 4 peptide which is immobilized by the AlphaScreen Streptavidin coated beads. This interaction brings donor and acceptor beads in proximity. The close proximity allows the singlet oxygen produced by laser excitation of the donor beads to reach the acceptor beads and generate a luminescence signal. BRD inhibitors result in a decrease in the proximity signal through an inhibition of the BRD-acetylated peptide interaction.Recombinant human bromodomains containing the N-terminal bromodomain (BRD2-BD1 (71-194), BRD3-BD1 (24-144) and BRD4-BD1 (44-164)) or dual bromodomains (BRD4-BD12 (1-477), BRD4-BD12 (1-472)) were prepared and purified as described in protein expression and purification session. |
