Ultrahigh-Throughput Screening Protocol

Step Parameter Value Description
1 Dispense controls 5 μL/well Cell lysate (22.9 μg/mL) expressing VF-NSD3S mixed with TR-FRET antibodies (anti-Flag-Tb and anti-GST-d2)
2 Dispense reaction buffer 5 μL/well A mixture of cell lysate (22.9 μg/mL) coexpressing VF-NSD3S and GST-MYC with TR-FRET antibodies (anti-Flag-Tb and anti-GST-d2)
3 Library compounds 100 nL/well 19.6 μM final from 1 mM stock in DMSO
4 Incubation time 16 h Plates were incubated at 4°C for 16 h
5 Assay readout Excitation 337 nm (laser), Emission 1 615 nm, Emission 2 665 nm; dual mirror D400/D630 Time-resolved fluorescence; Envision Multilabel plate reader

Step Notes

1. 1,536-well black solid bottom plates (Corning Costar, #3724) were used. FRET buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.0, 50 mM NaCl, and 0.01% nonidet P-40) was used to mix with assay components. One column (32 wells) was used for controls. MultiDrop Combi dispenser (Thermo Scientific) was used for dispensing.

2. Reaction buffer was prepared in parallel with controls.

3. 0.1 μL compounds (1 mM stock in DMSO in 384-well plates) were added using a Pintool (VP Scientific) integrated with a Beckman NX (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA).

4. Plates were incubated at 4°C for 16 h with top plates lidded.

5. Plates were read using EnVision Multilabel plate reader with 50 μs delay in the TR-FRET signal measurement.

 DMSO, dimethyl sulfoxide.
