| Description: | The assay was performed in 96-well black, flat-bottom plates with a final volume of 100 μL. 25 μL of assay buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.3, 50 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 20 mM Na2MoO4, 2 mM DTT, 0.1 mg/mL BGG, and 0.01% NP-40) were added, followed by 25 μL of assay buffer containing 6 nM FITC-GDA (fluorescent tracer, stock in DMSO, diluted in assay buffer) and 50 μL of assay buffer containing 10 nM of either Grp94 or Hsp90α were added to each well. For each plate, wells containing buffer only (background), tracer in buffer only (low polarization control) and protein, tracer, and 1% DMSO (final concentration, high polarization control) were included. Compounds were then added with a final concentration of DMSO=1%. Plates were incubated at 4° C. with rocking for 24 h. Polarization values (in mP units) were measured at 37° C. with an excitation filter at 485 nm and an emission filter at 528 nm. Polarization values were correlated to % tracer bound and compound concentrations. The concentration at which the tracer was 50% displaced by compound of interested were calculated and reported as apparent Kd's. |
