| | Histone Methyl Transferase Assay |
| Description: | The effectiveness of compounds of the present invention as inhibitors of hitone methyl transferases can be readily tested by assays known to those skilled in the art. For example, in vitro histone methyl transferase assays may be conducted with a relevant purified histone methyl transferase and an appropriate synthetic substrate to determine the inhibitory activity of the compounds. Assays for inhibition of EZH2 by the instant compounds were performed in 384-well plates with reaction mixtures containing 350 nM of histone peptide substrate (ATKAAR-K(Me2)-SAPATGGVKKPHRYRPG-GK(Biotin), 500 nM S-[methyl-3H]adenosyl-L-methionine (55-85 Ci/mmol), 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.0), 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM dithiothreitol, Tween-20 at 0.01% and fatty-acid free bovine serum albumin at 0.01%, and recombinant EZH2-641F complex (EZH2 Y641F/EED/SUZ12/RbAp48/AEBP2) at 5 nM (≧98% purity, BPS Bioscience) or 15 nM (50% purity, in-house). Reaction mixtures were incubated at room temperature for 3 hours, and the reactions were terminated by 0.005% poly-L-lysine solution in 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) and 150 mM NaCl. Reaction products were captured by binding to strepavidin-conjugated imaging beads. Incorporation of radioactive methyl group into the histone peptide substrate was determined in Leadseeker (GE Healthcare) by means of scintiallation proximity assay. |
