摘要
Fluorescence polarization (FP) has been used to develop high throughput screening (HTS) assays for nuclear receptor-ligand displacement and kinase inhibition. FP is a solution-based, homogeneous technique requiring no immobilization or separation of reaction components. The FP-based estrogen receptor (ER) assay is based on the competition of fluorescein-labeled estradiol and estrogen-like compounds for binding to ER. These studies determined the K-d for this interaction to be 3 nM for ER alpha and 2 nM for ER beta; IC50 values for 17 beta-estradiol, tamoxifen, 4-OH-tamoxifen, and diethylstibestrol were determined to be 5.6, 189, 26, and 3.5 nM, respectively. In a screen of 50 lead compounds from a transcriptional activation screen, 21 compounds had IC50 values below 10 mu M, with one having an almost 100-fold higher affinity for ER beta over ER alpha. These data show that an FP-based competitive binding assay can be used to screen diverse compounds with a broad range of binding affinities for ERs. The FP-based protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK) assay uses fluorescein-labeled phosphopeptides bound to anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies. Phosphopeptides generated by a kinase compete for this binding. In c-Src kinase reactions, polarization decreased with time as reaction products displaced the fluorescein-labeled phosphopeptide from the anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies. The experimentally determined IC50 of AG 1478 was 400 pM, while Genistein did not inhibit the epidermal growth factor receptor at similar concentrations. Like the FP-based PTK assay, the protein kinase C (PKC) assay utilizes competition. PKC isoforms had different turnover rates for the peptide substrate. The IC50 for staurosporine was less than 10 nM for all PKC isoforms. Tyrosine phosphatase assays use direct binding rather than competition. Increasing concentrations of T-cell protein-tyrosine phosphatase (TC PTP) increased the rate of dephosphorylation. This change in polarization was dependent on TC PTP and was inhibited by 50 mu M Na3VO4. The IC50 of Na3VO4 was 4 nM for TC PTP. These data demonstrate that a FP-based assay can detect kinase and phosphatase activity. Homogeneous, fluorescent techniques such as FP are now methods of choice for screening many types of drug targets. New HTS instrumentation and assay methods like these make FP a technology easily incorporated into HTS.
