Quantitative IDH1 Enzyme Activity Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
An in vitro enzyme activity assay for wild type IDH1 was performed as previously described (8 (link)). In brief, 20 ng purified IDH1 and YF variant proteins that were pre-treated with or without recombinant active tyrosine kinases in an in vitro kinase assay were added to 100 μl enzyme activity assay buffer (25mM Tris-HCl (pH7.5), 10 mM MgCl2, 5 mM DTT) containing 0.5 mM NADP+ (Sigma-Aldrich) and 1 mM isocitric acid (Sigma-Aldrich). To determine the wild type IDH1 activity in cells, endogenous IDH1 from 1×107 cells was bound to protein G-Sepharose 4 Fast Flow beads (Sigma-Aldrich) by immunoprecipitation using IDH1 antibody (CST). To test IDH1 activity in xenograft tumor tissues, around 2 mg of total tumor lysates were used. After immunoprecipitation, the IDH1-bound beads were washed 3 times and eluted using IDH1 peptide (CST). Then 10 ul of the supernatant was added to 100μl assay buffer (25mM Tris-HCl, pH7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 5 mM DTT) containing 0.5 mM NADP+ and 1 mM isocitric acid. IDH1 activity was measured by recording absorbance of 340 nm in kinetic mode every 20 seconds for 15 minutes using a SpectraMax Plus spectrophotometer (Molecular Devices).

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.
