LanthaScreen™ LanthaScreen™ TR-FRET ER beta Coactivator Assay Kit
Description
- The LanthaScreen™ TR-FRET ER beta Coactivator Assay Kit provides a sensitive and robust method for high-throughput screening of potential estrogen receptor (ER) beta ligands as agonists or antagonists of ligand-dependent coactivator recruitment. The kit uses a ER beta ligand-binding domain (ER beta-LBD) that is tagged with glutathione-S-transferase (GST), a terbium (Tb)-labeled anti-GST antibody, and a fluorescein-labeled coactivator peptide in a homogenous mix-and-read assay format.
- Agonist Mode - To run the LanthaScreen TR-FRET ER beta Coactivator Assay in agonist mode (to identify agonist compounds), ER beta-LBD is added to ligand test compounds followed by the addition of a mixture of fluorescein-coactivator peptide and Tb-anti-GST antibody. After room temperature incubation, the TR-FRET 520:495 emission ratio is calculated and used to determine the EC50 from a dose response curve of the compound. Based upon the biology of the ER beta-coactivator peptide interaction, this ligand EC50 is a composite value representing the amount of ligand required to bind to receptor, effect a conformational change, and recruit coactivator peptide.
- Antagonist Mode - When the LanthaScreen TR-FRET ER beta Coactivator Assay Kit is run in antagonist mode (to identify antagonist compounds), ER beta-LBD is added to ligand test compounds followed by the addition of a mixture of agonist, fluorescein-coactivator peptide, and Tb-anti-GST antibody. The concentration of agonist used in this mode is the EC80 concentration as determined by first running the assay in agonist mode.
