Revvity, 64ADAR1TPEG, HTRF Human Total ADAR1 Detection Kit, 500 Assay Points

Overview
ADAR1 is one of two ADAR gene-coded enzymes. It binds to double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and deaminates its adenosine into inosine (hypoxanthine). ADAR proteins act post-transcriptionally to alter RNA nucleotide contents. The deamination they operate interferes with the usual A:U pairing and destabilizes the RNA.
The loss of regulation of ADAR1 & ADAR2 is involved in the development and progression of multiple cancers, such as glioblastomas, melanomas, or acute leukemias. On top of their role in oncogenesis, ADAR enzymes are suspected of contributing to the aggravation of some infectious diseases like HIV and measles, but also of mental disorders such as depression, epilepsy, and schizophrenia.
How it works
Total ATG16L1 assay principle
The HTRF Total-ATG16L1 assay quantifies the expression level of ATG16L1 in a cell lysate. Unlike Western Blot, the assay is entirely plate-based, and does not require gels, electrophoresis, or transfer. The Total-ATG16L1 assay uses two labeled antibodies, one coupled to a donor fluorophore, the other to an acceptor. Both antibodies are highly specific for a distinct epitope on the protein. In presence of ATG16L1 in a cell extract, the addition of these conjugates brings the donor fluorophore into close proximity with the acceptor, and thereby generates a FRET signal. Its intensity is directly proportional to the concentration of the protein present in the sample, and provides a means of assessing the protein’s expression under a no-wash assay format.

 

Total-ATG16L1 two-plate assay protocol
The two-plate protocol involves culturing cells in a 96-well plate before lysis, then transferring lysates into a low volume detection plate (either HTRF 384-lv or 96-lv plate) before the addition of HTRF Total ADAR1 detection reagents. This protocol enables the cells' viability and confluence to be monitored.

 

Total-ATG16L1 one-plate assay protocol
Detection of Total ADAR1 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 enables miniaturization while maintaining robust HTRF quality. Application-Cell Signaling
