Epigenetic regulation has been shown to be a contributing factor in a variety of diseases. The discovery of methyltransferase inhibitors is currently an area of intense activity. Methyltransferase enzymes methylate a variety of substrates using S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as the methyl donor leaving the common product S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH).
The AptaFluor SAH Methyltransferase TR-FRET Assay (Prod. No. BBL-3023) is a universal assay for enzymes that convert S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), with a far-red, time-resolved Försterresonance-energy-transfer (TR-FRET) readout. The assay can be used for all enzymes within the histone methyltransferase (HMT) and DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) families. The assay is designed specifically for high-throughput screening (HTS), with a simple mix-and-read format and 2 liquid addition steps. It is run in an endpoint mode: methyltransferase (MT) enzyme reactions are quenched with a universal stop reagent (provided) and then the detection reagents are added. The assay offers reagent stability and compatibility with commonly used multimode plate readers. The exquisite affinity and selectivity of the riboswitch combined with a positive TR-FRET signal enable screening and profiling of methyltransferases with unparalleled sensitivity. Far-red tracer further minimizes interference from fluorescent compounds and light scattering.
