Intended Use:Suitable for studying enzyme kinetics and HTS applications.Test Principle:The PRMT9 Homogeneous BioAssay Kit is designed to measure PRMT9 activity for screening and profiling applications. PRMT9 is a histone methyltransferase that exhibits methylation activity toward an arginine residue of SAP145. The PRMT9 Homogeneous BioAssay Kit comes in a convenient AlphaLISA format,with GST-tagged PRMT9 substrate,primary antibody,methylation assay buffer,and purified PRMT9 for 384 enzyme reactions. The key to the PRMT9 Homogeneous BioAssay Kit is a highly specific antibody that recognizes methylated substrate. With this kit,only three simple steps on a microtiter plate are required for methyltransferase detection. First,a sample containing PRMT9 enzyme is incubated with the substrate. Next,acceptor beads and primary antibody are added,then donor beads,followed by reading the Alpha-counts.Contraindications:Green and blue dyes that absorb light in the AlphaScreen signal emission range (520-620nm),such as Trypan Blue. Avoid the use of the potent singlet oxygen quenchers such as sodium azide (NaN3) or metal ions (Fe2+,Fe3+,Cu2+,Zn2+ and Ni2+). The presence of >1% RPMI 1640 culture medium leads to a signal reduction due to the presence of excess biotin and iron in this medium. MEM,which lacks these components,does not affect AlphaScreen assays.Kit Components:PRMT9,1x40ug250uM S-adenosylmethionine,1x400ulPrimary antibody 28,1x20ulPRMT9 substrate,1x200ul4x PRMT9 assay buffer,3x1ml4x Detection buffer,1x2mlProtective film (to seal the wells)Storage and Stability:Store powder at 4°C liquid at -20°C. Store other components at 4°C. Stable for at least 6 months For maximum recovery of product,centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
