The Transcreener® high throughput screening (HTS) assay platform overcomes the need for time-consuming, one-off assay development for individual members within a group transfer enzyme family by utilizing a single set of assay reagents that detect an invariant product. The generic nature of the Transcreener® HTS Assay platform eliminates delays involved in assay development for new HTS targets and greatly simplifies compound and inhibitor profiling across multiple target families. Transcreener assays have been validated with major HTS instruments to determine the optimal filters and settings for maximal assay performance. Application notes with all important details are available. The Transcreener OAS Assay measures the 2-5A produced by OAS1 (also known as 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 1) OAS2, or OAS3. By measuring the production of OAS researchers can effectively determine the activity of OAS enzymes. The assay provides a powerful tool to screen compound libraries for OAS modulators to help find new therapeutics for a variety of different conditions including autoimmune diseases.
The Role of OAS1 In Innate Immunity: Double-stranded RNA enters the cell from viral infection. As the first line of defense in the innate immune system, OAS1 is activated by viral double-stranded RNA. Upon activation, OAS1 synthesizes 2-5A from ATP which in turn activates RNase L. The result of this signaling event cleaves both viral and host RNA and in turn inhibition of protein synthesis in the cell, thus ending the replication of invading RNA viruses. Mutation or inadvertent stimulation can produce autoimmune conditions by activating the pathway inconsistently even while not in the presence of viral invaders.
