| Description: | TNKS 1 and 2: The activity ELISA is performed in 384 well Glutathione coated microtiter plates (Express capture Glutathione coated plate, Biocat, Heidelberg, Germany). The plates are pre-equilibrated with PBS. Then the plates are incubated with 50 μl 20 ng/well GST-tagged Tnks-1 (1023-1327 aa, prepared in-house), respectively GST-tagged Tnks-2 (873-1166 aa, prepared in-house) in assay buffer (50 mM HEPES, 4 mM Mg-chloride, 0.05% Pluronic F-68, 2 mM DTT, pH 7.7) overnight at 4° C. The plates are washed 3 times with PBS-Tween-20. The wells are blocked by incubation at room temperature for 20 minutes with 50 μl blocking buffer (PBS, 0.05% Tween-20, 0.5% BSA). Afterwards the plates are washed 3 times with PBS-Tween-20. The enzymatic reaction is performed in 50 μl reaction solution (50 mM HEPES, 4 mM Mg-chloride, 0.05% Pluronic F-68, 1.4 mM DTT, 0.5% DMSO, pH 7.7) with 10 μM bio-NAD (Biolog, Life science Inst., Bremen, Germany) as co-substrate in the absence or presence of the test compound (10 dilution concentrations) for 1 hour at 30° C. The reaction is stopped by 3 times washing with PBS-Tween-20. For the detection 50 μl of 20 ng/μl Streptavidin, HRP conjugate (MoBiTec, G ttingen, Germany) in PBS/0.05% Tween-20/0.01% BSA are added and the plates are incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. After three times washing with PBS-Tween-20 50 μl of SuperSignal ELISA Femto Maximum sensitivity substrate solution (ThermoFisherScientific (Pierce), Bonn, Germany) are added. Following a 1 minute incubation at room temperature luminescence signals are measured with an Envision multimode reader (Perkin Elmer LAS Germany GmbH) at 700 nm. |
