Description of Z-Ala-Ala-Asn-AMC

Z-Ala-Ala-Asn-AMC (Cbz-Ala-Ala-Asn-AMC) is a synthetic fluorogenic peptide substrate that releases highly fluorescent AMC upon cleavage by proteases (Ex/Em: 380nm/430nm), which is widely used for the detection of asparaginyl endopeptidase (Legumain) activity[1,2,3]. Legumain is often overexpressed in tumors[4], and Z-Ala-Ala-Asn-AMC serves as a substrate suitable for detecting and quantifying legumain activity in biological samples, high-throughput inhibitor screening, and enzyme kinetics studies[5,6,7].

Protocol of Z-Ala-Ala-Asn-AMC

Using Z-Ala-Ala-Asn-AMC to determine recombinant Legumain activity[1]:

(1) 10μL aliquots of Legumain (0.6mg/mL) were mixed with 50μL of different activation buffers (containing 50mM Sodium Acetate and 100mM NaCl, pH 4) and pre-incubated at 37℃ for 2h respectively.

(2) Samples were then diluted to 1ng/μL in assay buffer (50mM MES, 250mM NaCl, pH 5).

(3) 30μL of 150μM Z-Ala-Ala-Asn-AMC was added and the enzymatic activity measured using a microplate reader at 380 and 430nm.

(4) Readings were taken every 2min for 20 cycles respectively. One unit of enzyme activity was defined as the activity required to release 1μM of AMC per minute at 37℃.
