Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  USP7 Assay A (Ubitquin-Rhodamine 110 Assay)
Description:  Each assay was performed in a final volume of 15 μL in assay buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0, (1M Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 solution; Corning 46-031-CM)), 1 mM GSH (L-Glutathione reduced; Sigma # G4251), 0.03% BGG (0.22 μM filtered, Sigma, # G7516-25G), and 0.01% Triton X-100 (Sigma, # T9284-10L). Nanoliter quantities of either an 8-point or 10-point, 3-fold serial dilution in DMSO was pre-dispensed into assay plates (Perkin Elmer, ProxiPlate-384 F Plus, #6008269) for a final test concentration range of either 25 μM to 11 nM or 25 μM to 1.3 nM, respectively. The final concentration of the enzyme (USP7, construct USP7 (208-1102) 6*His, Viva Biotech) in the assay was 62.5 pM. Final substrate (Ub-Rh110; Ubiquitin-Rhodamine 110, R&D Systems # U-555) concentration was 25 nM with [Ub-Rh110]<<Km. 5 μL of 2× enzyme was added to assay plates (pre-stamped with compound) preincubated with USP7 for 30 min and then 5 μL of 2×Ub-Rh110 was added to assay plates. Plates were incubated stacked for 20 min at room temperature before 5 μL of stop solution (final concentration of 10 mM citric acid in assay buffer (Sigma, #251275-500G)). Fluorescence was read on the Envision (Excitation at 485 nm and Emission at 535 nm; Perkin Elmer) or on the PheraSTAR (Excitation at 485 nm and Emission at 535 nm; BMG Labtech).
