Transcreener® & Epigenetic Modifications

Transcreener relies on direct detection
of ADP. Binding of tracer to antibody
causes a change in fluorescence. There
are just two components, and no
intermediate steps.

Reactions were allowed to go to completion, thus AMP should be produced
in stoichiometric amounts with E1, as was observed.

An increase in the polarization signal
(ΔmP) is observed with increasing E1
in the presence of SUMO.
AMP Formation is SUMO-dependent and stoichiometric with E1

Reactions were again run to completion. Addition of E2 resulted in a stoichiometric increase in
AMP, as expected (Eq. 4). Addition of E3 to the reaction resulted in >5-fold increase in AMP
production, suggesting that multiple SUMOs are being transferred to E3.

EPIGEN Acetyltransferase Assay:
The enzymatic progress curves were performed by incubating pCAF enzyme,
H3 peptide, and Acetyl CoA.
They were stopped by the addition of a detection mix containing an
AMP2/GMP2 antibody and tracer, the coupling enzyme system, and Anacardic
Acid at the indicated time points.
The Signal was read after 60 minutes. A 60 minute enzyme reaction with pCAF
was selected for all subsequent experiments. Controls lacked the H3 peptide.
