UPF 1069 (Synonyms: GKT237841)

Kinase experiment:

PARP activity is evaluated by utilizing commercially available recombinant bovine PARP-1 and mouse PARP-2. Briefly, the enzymatic reaction is carried out in 100 µL of 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) containing 5 mM MgCl2, 2 mM dithiothreitol, 10 µg sonicated calf thymus DNA, 0.2 µCi [adenine-2,8-3H]NAD and recombinant enzyme PARP-1 or PARP-2 (0.03 U per sample). Different concentrations of the putative inhibitors are added, and the mixture is incubated for 1 h at 37°C. The reaction is terminated by adding 1 mL of 10% trichloroacetic acid (w/v) and centrifuged. Pellets are then washed twice with 1 mL of H2O and resuspended in 1 mL of 0.1 M NaOH. The radioactivity incorporated from [adenine-2,8-3H]NAD into proteins is evaluated by liquid scintillation spectrometry[2].
