Fluorescence-based Deubiquitinating Enzyme Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All assays were performed in duplicate in Buffer E (100 mM NaCl, 50 mM HEPES [pH 7.5], 0.01 mg/mL bovine serum albumin (BSA), 5 mM DTT) using a Corning Costar half-volume black 96-well plate with a reaction volume of 50 μL. The rates of the reactions were observed using an Infinite M1000 series plate reader (Tecan, Inc.). Specifically, the increase in fluorescence (excitation λ, 360 nm; emission, 460 nm) of 7-amino-4-methylcourmarin (AMC) upon cleavage from hUb-AMC, hISG15-AMC, (Boston Biochem, MA) and ZRLRGG-AMC (Bachem) substrates was monitored for JXwn06 and MLV vOTU (GenScript). To calculate turnover rates for 1 μM hISG15-AMC, 1 μM hUb-AMC, and 50 μM ZRLRGG-AMC, 1 μM, 4 nM, and 4 μM of enzyme were used against hISG15-AMC, hUb-AMC, and ZRLRGG-AMC, respectively.
The turnover rates for poly-Ub fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) linkage substrates K11, K48, and K63 (Boston Biochem, MA) at 1 μM were determined by monitoring the increase in fluorescence (excitation λ, 544 nm; emission, 572 nm) resulting by the separation of a FRET TAMRA/QXL pair. Cleavage of three commercially available FRET TAMRA/QXL pair configurations per K48 and K63 poly-Ub linkage FRET substrates were assessed. Each di-Ub FRET substrate at 1 μM was evaluated against an enzyme concentration of 500 nM.

Activity assays of DUBs against AMC-labeled substrates were performed using reaction buffer (150 mM NaCl, 20 mM TRIS pH 7.5, 10 mM DTT), 1 µM DUBs (deviating concentrations are indicated in the respective figures and the corresponding legends), 5 µM Ub-AMC (UbiQ-Bio, The Netherlands), 5 µM NEDD8-AMC (Enzo Life Science) or 100 µM zRLRGG-AMC (BACHEM AG, Switzerland). The reaction was performed in black 96-well plates (Corning) at 30 °C and fluorescence was measured using the Infinite F200 Pro plate reader (Tecan) equipped for excitation wavelength of 360 nm and an emission wavelength of 465 nm. The data was collected using Magellan 7.1 software (Tecan). The presented results are means of three independent cleavage assays.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
