High-throughput screening for inhibitors of the e3 ubiquitin ligase APC
Jianing Huang et al. Methods Enzymol. 2005.
Abstract
The anaphase-promoting complex (APC) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that mediates the ubiquitination and degradation of the securin protein and mitotic cyclins, resulting in the regulation of the onset of sister-chromatid separation and mitotic exit. In an effort to identify novel therapeutic compounds that modulate cell proliferation and, therefore, have potential applications in oncology, a plate-based in vitro ubiquitination assay that uses recombinant purified E1, E2 (UbcH5c), E3 (APC11/APC2), and Flag-ubiquitin has been established and used to screen for small molecule inhibitors of APC E3 ligase activity. In this assay, APC2/APC11 is immobilized on the plate, and its E3 ligase activity (i.e., the incorporation of Flag-tagged polyubiquitin chain onto APC2/APC11 as a result of auto-ubiquitination) is detected with anti-Flag-horseradish peroxidase-conjugated antibody by monitoring the luminescence signal from the plate. Here we describe in detail the protocol for high-throughput screening of APC, including expression and purification of the individual proteins, assay development, and optimization. This assay has been validated in a 96-well plate format and successfully implemented to identify novel small molecule compounds that potently inhibit APC2/APC11 ligase activity.
