| Description: | Compounds were delivered in 10 mM DMSO solution, serially diluted and transferred to the 384 well assay plate (Greiner #781201) using an Echo acoustic dispenser. Typically, 8 concentrations were used with the highest concentration at 10 UM in the final assay volume followed by 1:5 dilution steps. DMSO concentration was set to 1% in the final assay volume. The 384 well assay plate contained 22 test compounds (column 1-22), and DMSO in column 23 and 24.After the compound transfer, 15 μL of the enzyme-DNA-working solution (12 nM cGAS, 0.32 UM 45base pair DNA in assay buffer, 10 mM Tris pH 7.5/10 mM KCl/5 mM MgCl2/1 mM DTT) were added to each well from column 1-23 via a MultiDrop Combi dispenser. In column 24, 15 μl of assay buffer without enzyme/DNA were added as a low control.The plates were then pre-incubated for 60 min at room temperature.Following that, 10 μL of GTP (ThermoFisher #R0461)-ATP (Promega #V915B) mix in assay buffer were added to the assay plate (columns 1-24, 30 μM final concentration each) using a Multidrop Combi. The plates were incubated again for 90 min at room temperature.Following the incubation, the reaction was stopped by 80 μl of 0.1% formic acid in assay buffer containing 5 nM cyclic-di-GMP (Sigma #SML1228) used as internal standard for the mass spectrometry. The total volume/well was 105 μL. |
