ARH3 Fluorogenic Assay Kit

Products from BPS Bioscience require a minimum order value above 400€

Applications: Study enzyme kinetics and screen small molecule inhibitors for drug discovery and high throughput screening (HTS) applications.

Background: ARH3, also known as ADP-ribosyl-acceptor hydrolase 3 or ADPRS, is part of the DNA damage response machinery. It removes ADP-ribose from serine residues in a Mg²⁺ - dependent manner. It acts sequentially to PARG (poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase) and it has a protective role by decreasing the levels of ADP-ribosylation in the cell, which stops mitochondria from releasing PAR-driven AIF (apoptosis inducing factor). Mutations that result in loss of function of this protein lead to CONDSIAS (stress-induced childhood-onset neurodegeneration with variable ataxia and seizures), a disease with multiple clinical expressions. Patients can accumulate mono(ADP-ribose) on core histones (scars) and have reduced levels of H3K9 acetylation. In vitro these scars were shown to if PARP was inhibited. The development and use of ARH3 inhibitors will provide us a better understanding of the DNA damage response pathway and opens new therapeutic avenues.

Contraindications: The final concentration of DMSO in the assay should not exceed 1%.Compounds that emit fluorescence near λ=502 nm when excited at λ=385 nm can interfere with results.

Description: The ARH3 Fluorogenic Assay Kit is a high-throughput, homogeneous 96-well assay designed to measure the hydrolase activity of ARH3 (ADP-ribosylhydrolase) for screening and profiling applications, using a simple and straightforward fluorogenic assay. The ARH3 Fluorogenic Assay Kit contains enough purified recombinant ARH3 enzyme, substrate, and assay buffer for 100 enzyme reactions. The kit includes the ARH3 inhibitor ADP-HPD as an ARH3 activity control.ARH3 is incubated with a fluorogenic ADP-ribose substrate in which the fluorophore is quenched by the presence of the ribose. ARH3-mediated hydrolysis of the substrate between the ribose and the fluorochrome releases fluorescence that can be detected at λ=502 nm (excitation at λ=385 nm). Fluorescence intensity is directly proportional to ARH3 hydrolase activity

Storage Stability: This assay kit will perform optimally for up to 6 months from date of receipt when the materials are stored as directed.

Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles
