Type: Binding

Description: Gel-Based Assay: Tdp1 reactions were performed as recently described. Briefly, a 5'-[32P]-labeled single-stranded DNA oligonucleotide containing a 3'-phosphotyrosine (N14Y) incubated with 5 pM recombinant Tdp1 in the absence or presence of inhibitor for 15 min at room temperature in a buffer containing 50 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.5, 80 mM KCl, 2 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 40 ug/ml BSA and 0.01% Tween-20. Reactions were terminated by the addition of 1 volume of gel loading buffer [99.5% (v/v) formamide, 5 mM EDTA, 0.01% (w/v) xylene cyanol, and 0.01% (w/v) bromophenol blue]. Samples were subjected to a 16% denaturing PAGE and dried gels were exposed to a PhosphorImager screen (GE Healthcare). Gel images were scanned using a Typhoon 8600 (GE Healthcare) and densitometric analyses were performed using the ImageQuant software (GE Healthcare).Binding experiments were performed as recently described. Briefly, Tdp1 was amine coupled to a CM5 sensor chip (GE Healthcare, Piscataway N.J.).
