Revvity, 64IRE1TPEG, HTRF Human Total IRE1 Detection Kit, 500 assay points

Overview
IRE1 (Inositol requiring enzyme 1 alpha) is a serine/threonine kinase acting as one of three branches of the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) signaling pathway with roles in the regulation of ER stress and UPR. IRE1 is encoded by the ERN1 gene and is ubiquitously expressed in mammals. IRE1 is a type I transmembrane protein, exhibiting an ER luminal domain that senses the protein folding status, and a catalytic kinase and RNase cytosolic domain. In recent years, IRE1 has emerged as a relevant therapeutic target in various diseases including degenerative disorders, inflammatory and metabolic pathologies, and cancer.
How it works
Total IRE1 assay principle
The Total IRE1 assay quantifies the expression level of IRE1 in a cell lysate. Unlike Western Blot, the assay is entirely plate-based and does not require gels, electrophoresis, or transfer. The Total IRE1 assay uses two labeled antibodies, one coupled to a donor fluorophore and the other to an acceptor. Both antibodies are highly specific for a distinct epitope on the protein. In the presence of IRE1 this enables an immune-complex formation involving both labeled antibodies, and which brings the donor fluorophore into close proximity to the acceptor, thereby generating a FRET signal.
Its intensity is directly proportional to the concentration of total protein present in the sample and provides a means of assessing the protein's phosphorylation state under a no-wash assay format.

Total IRE1 two-plate assay protocol
The two-plate protocol involves culturing cells in a 96-well plate before lysis, then transferring lysates into a 384-well low volume detection plate before the addition of HTRF Total IRE1 detection reagents. This protocol allows for the cells' viability and confluence to be monitored.

Total IRE1 one-plate assay protocol
Detection of Total IRE1 with HTRF reagents can be performed in a single plate used for culturing, stimulation, and lysis. No washing steps are required. This HTS designed protocol allows miniaturization while maintaining robust HTRF quality. Application-Cell Signaling
