NOTES (numbers refer to sequence above)
1; SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells stably expressing GLuc-SERCaMP (SH-SY5Y-GLuc-ASARTDL) cells were seeded in 1,536 well white tissue culture treated plates (Corning, Cat# 7464) in DMEM-high glucose-sodium pyruvate (ThermoFisher Scientific, Cat #10569) supplemented with 10% bovine growth serum (Hyclone), 10 U/ml penicillin (Gibco), 10 ug/ml streptomycin (Gibco), and 20 mM HEPES.
2; Assay plates were incubated for 5 hour at 37C in a humidified incubator containing 5% CO2.
3; qHTS libraries (23 nl, final concentrations of 1.53 uM, 7.67 uM, 38.3 uM) or controls (neutral control: DMSO, positive control: dantrolene) were added using a Kalypsis pin-tool Robotic System equipped with 1536 pinheads.
4; Cells were then incubated for 16 hours at 37C, 5% CO2.
5; Thapsigargin was added at 100 nM to deplete ER calcium stores.
6; Cells were incubated for 4 hour (37oC, 5% CO2)
7; Gaussia luciferase in the medium was measured by adding 1 ul of 0.5x coelenterazine (final concentration 0.07x) prepared in Gaussia Luciferase Glow Assay Buffer (Pierce), without addition of the Cell Lysis Buffer Reagent.
8; Luminescence was measured using a ViewLux high-432 throughput CCD imaging system (Perkin Elmer) equipped with clear filters. Compounds exhibiting inhibitory activity (defined as curve class -1.1, -1.2, -1.3, -1.4, -2.1, -2.2, -2.3, -2.4, -3) were identified by normalizing plate-wise to corresponding intra-plate controls (neutral control = Tg only; positive control (100% inhibition) = DMSO vehicle) with percent activity derived using in-house software (https://tripod.nih.gov/curvefit). The same controls were also used for the calculation of the Z' factor, a measure of assay quality control, as previously described (Zhang et al., 1999). For the initial validation of activity in the SERCaMP assays, hits from the primary screen were assayed again at 11-concentrations (1.3 nM - 76.6 uM). SH-SY5Y-GLuc-SERCaMP cells were assayed for ER Ca2+ depletion as outlined above.

Comment: Disclaimer:
Although all reasonable efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data, caution should be exercised when interpreting the results as artifacts are possible from nonspecific effects such as assay signal interference. The curve fitting and activity calls presented here are based on the NCATS analysis methods.

Compound Ranking:
1. Compounds are first classified as having full titration curves, partial modulation, partial curve (weaker actives), single point activity (at highest concentration only), or inactive. For this assay, apparent inhibitors are ranked higher than compounds that showed apparent activation.
2. For all inactive compounds, with a ratio activity curve class of 4, PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE is 0. For all active compounds, a score range was given for each curve class type given above. Active compounds have PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE between 40 and 100. For a ratio activity curve class = -1.1, score = 80+abs((log_ac50+4.5)*inf_activity/20). For ratio.curve_class == -1.2 && abs(ratio.max_response) > 6*10, score = 60+abs((log_ac50+4.5)*inf_activity/20). For ratio.curve_class == -2.1 || ( ratio.curve_class==-2.2 && abs(ratio.max_response) > 6*10), score = 40+abs((log_ac50+4.5)*inf_activity/20). For ratio.curve_class == -1.2 || ratio.curve_class == -2.2, score = 20+abs((log_ac50+4.5)*inf_activity/20). Inconclusive compounds, with a donor curve class other than 4, have PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE of 10. Inconclusive compounds have PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE between 1 and 39.

External ID: Vaccinia-p2mCherry

Protocol: A549 cells were plated at a concentration of approximately 6,000 cells per well in clear-bottom black-walled plates. Compounds were added to the assay plate followed by addition of virus (LREV) that expresses the Venus fluorescent protein early in viral ininfection. During the late viral infection, mCherry was also added to the plate at an MOI of 10 (~ 60,000 plaque forming units (PFU) of virus). Following virus addition, plates were incubated in a tissue-culture incubator for 12-18 hours. At increasing times postinfection, fluorescence from both Venus and mCherrry was determined using a plate-reader and standard conditions for observing Venus fluorescence (EX515/EM530) and mCherry fluorescence (EX587/EM610). In each plate, positive controls (virus infection in the presence of 1% DMSO only) and an inhibitory drug control (AraC at 500 nM) was included and used to normalize the data.

External ID: VSVM-OFFLINE

Protocol: Two uL of HEK293 cell suspension are dispensed at 1000 cells/well into solid white 1536-well plates (Grenier) using a Multidrop Combi (Thermo Scientific). After addition of 23 nL compound by a pin tool (Kalypsys), the plate is incubated 1 h at 37 degrees C and then 3 uL of virus 1:100 dilution VSV-MARV is added. After 28 hr, 4 uL of assay reagent is added and the plates are read using a ViewLux (Perkin Elmer). Assays are performed in sub-saturating amounts of virus (MOI <0.5), therefore luciferase signals reflect the amount (titer) of virus able to infect the cells in presence of the compound.

External ID: TRXR101

Protocol: Assay protocol: 2 uL of reagents (buffer in column 4 as negative control and 90 nM rTrxR1 in columns 1-3 and 5-48) were dispensed into Greiner black solid-bottom 1,536-well assay plates, followed by 1 uL of NADPH (400 uM final concentration) to each well. The plates were centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 15 seconds and subsequently incubated for 5 min at room temperature (~22 deg C) to allow for rTrxR1 reduction. Compounds (23 nL) were then transferred via Kalypsys pin tool equipped with 1536-pin array (10 nL slotted pins, V&P Scientific, San Diego, CA). In addition, a duplicate 2-fold serial dilution of the control compounds auranofin, a known gold-based TrxR1 inhibitor, and juglone (5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone), a natural TrxR1 substrate, were pin-transferred to columns 2 and 3, respectively. After incubation for 15 min at room temperature (~22 deg C), 1 uL of selenite (400 uM final concentration) were dispensed to each well. The plate was immediately transferred to a ViewLux high-throughput CCD imager (PerkinElmer), wherein kinetic measurements of NADPH fluorescence (Ex 340 nm, Em 450 nm) were acquired (8 minute kinetic read, see Table 1). Read 1 was utilized to assess the capacity of a compound to serve as an rTrxR1 substrate, i.e. a decrease in NADPH fluorescence compared to the no-compound background is an indication of a substrate behavior for that particular compound. For inhibitory activity of a compound, delta values, computed as the difference in fluorescence intensity between the first and last reads of an 8-minute time kinetic window, were used. All reagents were diluted in an assay buffer consisting of 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 2 mM EDTA, and 0.01% Tween-20.

Throughout the screen, reagent bottle and all liquid lines were made light-tight to minimize reagent degradation. All screening operations were performed on a fully integrated robotic system (Kalypsys, San Diego, CA) containing one RX-130 and two RX-90 anthropomorphic robotic arms (Staubli, Duncan, SC). Library plates were screened starting from the lowest and proceeding to the highest concentration, and a 'double-pinning' step of the highest concentration was required to access higher concentrations of compounds. Vehicle-only plates, with DMSO being pin-transferred to the columns 5-48, were inserted uniformly at the beginning and the end of each library in order to monitor and record any shifts in the background, which can be affected by reagent dispensers or loss in enzyme activity over time. Screening data were corrected, normalized, and concentration-effect relationships were derived by using publicly-available curve fitting algorithms developed in-house (http://ncgc.nih.gov/pub/openhts).

Protocol: Briefly, three uL of reagents (100 nM EPAC1, 250 nM RAP1B-BODIPY-GDP, 50 uM GDP) were dispensed into a 1536-well Greiner black solid-bottom medium binding assay plate. Controls and test compounds (23 nL) were transferred to the plate via a Kalypsys pin tool equipped with a 1536-pin array. The plates were centrifuged at 1,000 rpm for 15 seconds followed by 5 minute incubation at room temperature. The assay plates were read at 5 minute intervals for 30 minutes in the ViewLux plate reader using 480nm excitation and 540nm emission filters. The results were normalized to the agonist positive control of 6.5 mM cAMP.
