| Description: | Compound potencies were assessed through incorporation of 3H-SAM into a biotinylated H3 peptide. Specifically, 30 pM PRC2 containing wt EZH2 (pentameric complex prepared in-house) was pre-incubated with 450 nM SAM, 450 nM 3H-SAM, 2 μM H3K27me3 activating peptide (H2N-RKQLATKAAR(Kme3)SAPATGGVKKP-amide) and compounds (as 10 point duplicate dose response titrations in DMSO, final assay 0.8% DMSO (v/v)) for 3-5 h in 50 mM Tris (pH 8.5), 1 mM DTT, 0.07 mM Brij-35, 0.1% BSA, and 0.8% DMSO in a total volume of 12.5 μl. Reaction was initiated with biotinylated H3 substrate peptide (H2N-RKQLATKAAR(Kme1)SAPATGGVKKP-NTPEGBiot) as a 2 μM stock in 12.5 μl of buffer and allowed to react at room temperature for 18-22 h. Quenching was accomplished by addition of 20 μl of STOP solution (50 mM Tris (pH 8.5), 200 mM EDTA, 2 mM SAH). 35 μl of the quenched solution was transferred to streptavidin coated FlashPlates (PerkinElmer), incubated 1-2 h, washed, and read in a TopCount Reader (PerkinElmer). IC50s were calculated in Genedata Screener using non-linear least square four parameter fits, where the four parameters were IC50, Hill slope, pre-transitional baseline (0% INH), and post-transitional baseline (100% INH). |
