Protocol: C-terminally 6xHis tagged CDK2/Cyclin A complex and N-terminally Flag tagged CDC25B C473S (372-566) were expressed and purified. Proteins were incubated together at a final concentration of 125 nM each for 1 hr prior to incubation with compound for 1 hr, followed by addition of anti-6xHis europium cryptate donor beads (Cisbio) and anti-Flag XL-665 acceptor beads (Cisbio) at a final dilution of 1:350 for 1 hr. 20mM potassium fluoride was added 10 minute prior to plate reading. Assay reagents were dispensed using a multidrop liquid dispenser (Thermo Scientific) onto uncoated, black, low-volume, 384-well plates (Corning). Assay plates were quantified using an Envision plate reader (Perkin-Elmer) with excitation of the europium crytate donor at 337 nm wavelength and emission of the donor at 620 nm and emission of the XL-665 acceptor at 665 nm in 18 uL volumes. Assays were performed in a buffer containing 50 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 50 mM NaCl, 10mM MgCl2, 1mM TCEP, with addition of and 1mM ATP, 0.05% BSA, and 0.05% Tween-20 immediately prior to the start of the assay.

Comment: The activity outcome is based on a Z-score (number of standard deviations from the negative control mean) of 3 or higher on at least 50% times that the sample was screened.
For instance, if the sample was screened in n=4 runs, it would be considered active only if it had a Z-score of 3 or above in at least 2 runs.

Protocol: 1; Dispense 45 nl compounds (10 mM stocks) using ECHO 555 to Alpha 384 well assay plates. Dispense 45 nl DMSO to control columns 1 and 2 of 384 well plates.
2; Incubate 5 ul of 6XHis-mHTT (Final, 13 nM) with the compounds for 40 mins at room temperature in buffer containing 10 mM Tris.HCl pH 7.4, 1 mM calcium chloride, 150 mM sodium chloride, 0.1% BSA and 20% glycerol.
3; Dispense 5 ul of 6XGST-CaM (Final 13 nM) in buffer A.
4; Incubation; 1 hour (dark at 25C)
5; Dispense 20 ul of Nickel chelate acceptor beads (Final, 20 ugs/ml) and Glutathione donor beads (Final, 30 ugs/ml). Incubate for 2h, room temperature.
6; Detector: Perkin Elmer Enspire, Alphascreen Module (Excitation 680nm/Emission 570nm).

NOTES (numbers refer to Sequence numbers above)
1. Alphascreen bead incubations were performed in green light, TiterTek setting 400rpm.
2. All incubation and addition steps were followed by mixing and centrifugation at 400g,1 min.
3. The percent inhibition for each compound was calculated as follows:
100- [100 *((Test Compound-Median Low Control) / (Median High Control - Median Low Control))]

Where:
Test_Compound is defined as wells containing His mHTT + GST CaM in the presence of test compound

High_Control is defined as wells containing His mHTT + GST CaM and DMSO.

Low_Control is defined as wells containing His mHTT and DMSO.

Comment: All percent inhibition data reported were normalized to high and low controls on a per-plate basis. The results of primary screening data include compounds contributing to assay signal interference, interference with tags binding to Alpha beads, chelators, process related artifacts etc.. The actives were defined as compounds that inhibited Alphascreen reads to greater than 50%.
