Universal Colorimetric PARP Assay Kit

Universal Colorimetric PARP Assay Kit
 
Poly ADP-ribosylation of nuclear proteins is a post-translational event that occurs in response to DNA damage. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) catalyzes the NAD-dependent addition of poly (ADP-ribose) to adjacent nuclear proteins. PARP plays an important role in DNA repair but can also lead to apoptosis by depleting the cellular NAD pool. Experimental models have shown that PARP inhibition prevents tissue damage in animal models of myocardial and neuronal ischemia, diabetes, septic shock, and vascular stroke. Recent data implicate a synergistic function of Ku80 and PARP-1 in minimizing chromosome aberrations and cancer development. Trevigen's Universal 96-well PARP Assay Kit measures the incorporation of biotinylated Poly (ADP-ribose) onto histone proteins in a 96-well plate format. This assay is ideal for the screening of PARP inhibitors and for measuring the activity of PARP in cell and tissue extracts.
 
Features:
•   Colorimetric, non-radioactive format
•   Higher throughput 96 test size
•   Sensitivity down to 0.01 units of PARP per well
   
Applications:
•   Identify inhibitors and activators of PARP activity
•   Measure caspase inactivation of PARP
•   Quantitate levels of DNA damage in cells caused by a variety of genotoxic agents
•   Measuring activity of PARP in cell and tissue extracts

PARP Activity Assay Kit

PARP Activity Assay Kit
 
The functional activity of PARP can be determined using Trevigen’s in vitro PARP Activity Assay kit. PARP activity is measured by determining the level of incorporation of radiolabeled NAD in a TCA precipitable polymer. The PARP enzyme is activated in the presence of damaged DNA. The level of PARP activation is directly proportional to the amount of damage encountered within the cell, and therefore an effective measure of total DNA damage within the sample. DNA damage can be assessed in crude extracts of cells or tissues.

The addition of activated DNA (sheared genomic DNA) to cell lysates allows for the investigation of maximal PARP activity. In apoptotic cells, the inactivation of PARP by proteolytic cleavage can be assayed by measuring decreases in PARP activity following induction of apoptosis.

 
Features:
•   Rapid assay requires approximately 10 minutes
•   Sensitive
•   Contains a positive control of PARP enzyme
•   Includes all reagents except for radiolabeled NAD
•   Uses crude extracts from cells or tissues
   
Applications:
•   Identify inhibitors and activators of PARP activity
•   Measure caspase inactivation of PARP
•   Quantitate levels of DNA damage in cells caused by a variety of genotoxic agents

Biotinylated NAD

Biotinylated NAD
 
Trevigen’s biotinylated NAD (6-biotin-17-nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide) provides a convenient non-isotopic alternative to radiolabeled NAD for studies requiring this substrate. A number of proteins, including poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), use NAD as a substrate for their function. The PARP enzyme catalyzes the polymerization of ADP-ribose onto a number of nuclear proteins. Biotinylated NAD allows an indirect measure of PARP activity when biotin incorporation is detected using a conjugated-streptavidin detection system.
 
Applications:
•   Activity measurements for NAD requiring enzymes
•   Assays to identify PARP inhibitors
   
Preparation: Provided as a buffered solution containing 250 µM 6-biotin-17-nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide, sodium salt.
   
Molecular Weight: 1179 g/mol
   
Extinction Coefficient: 22,000 at 265 nm
 
   
Purity: >95% by HPLC
   
Storage: Store at -80°C in working aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thawing.

FITC-NAD

FITC-NAD
 
FITC-NADF NAD for use with enzymes requiring NAD as a substrate or cofactor. A number of proteins, including poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), and the SIR2 family of NAD(+)-dependent histone/protein deacetylases, use NAD as a substrate for their function. FITC conjugated NAD permits the direct measurement of PARP and other NAD-dependent enzymes by fluorescence microscopy or by incorporation of fluorescent-labeled poly (ADP-ribose) or O-acety-ADP ribose onto histones attached to a 96 well plate.
 
Applications:
•   Activity measurements for NAD requiring enzymes
•   Assays to identify inhibitors of NAD-requiring enzymes
•   Cell Permeabilization reagent, 4674-250-01, required for in-cell assays
   
Physical State: Provided in solution at a concentration of 250 µm in deionized water. There is a 1:1 stoichiometry for incorporation; one FITC label for each NAD molecule.
   
Extinction Coefficient: 21,000 at 265nm
   
Purity: 95% by HPLC
 
   
Storage: Store at -80°C in working aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thawing.

PARP Proteins

Human PARP Enzyme
 
Trevigen now offers two grades of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase: a “standard” PARP, and a new high specific activity (HSA) enzyme. The specific activity serves as a measure of enzyme purity, with the standard enzyme being purified to approximately 50% purity, and the high specific activity enzyme to greater than 95%. The standard PARP enzyme is useful as a positive control for both Western blot analysis of ribosylated proteins and the PARP Activity Assay (Cat# 4667-50-K). For more detailed studies or for drug discovery applications, the HSA PARP is recommended. The catalytic domain of PARP is also available.
 
Unit Definition: One unit is the amount of enzyme required to incorporate 100 pmol of poly(ADP) from NAD into acid-insoluble form in 1 minute at 22°C.
   
Source: Purified from E. coli containing a recombinant plasmid encoding the full-length human PARP gene.
   
Applications:
•   Identification of inhibitors and activators of PARP activity
•   Quantitation of DNA damage
•   Investigation of PARP inactivation during apoptosis
   
Storage: Freeze in working aliquots at -80 C to avoid repeated freeze-thawing.

PARP Inhibitors
 

PARP Inhibitors
 
DNA bullet 3-Aminobenzamide
3-aminobenzamide is the PARP inhibitor provided with Trevigen's PARP Inhibition Assay Kit (Cat# 4669-96-K) at 200 mM.
 
DNA bullet 4-Amino-1,8-naphthalimide
4-Amino-1,8-naphthalimide is a potent inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymer (PARP) and reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury in the heart and skeletal muscle. It is 1000-fold more potent that 3-aminobenzamide and exhibits mixed-type inhibition with respect to the sub-strate, NAD+, at micromolar concentrations. This inhibitor, which has been analyzed at a concentration of 20 µM, is provided at a convenient concentration for subsequent serial dilution and use with Trevigen's PARP Inhibition Assay Kit (Cat# 4669-96-K).
 
DNA bullet 6(5H)-Phenanthridinone
6(5H)-Phenanthridinone strongly inhibits poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and displays immunosuppressive activity. It is a mixed-type inhibitor that acts on both the enzyme and enzyme-NAD+ complex at site(s) distinct from the NAD+-binding site to attenuate the fall in NAD and ATP and, consequently, improve cell survival. It also inhibits concanavalin A-induced lymphocyte proliferation at micromolar concentrations. This inhibitor, which has been analyzed in the range of 0.18-0.39 µM, is provided at a convenient concentration for subsequent serial dilution and use with Trevigen's PARP Inhibition Assay Kit (Cat# 4669-96-K).
 
DNA bullet Benzamide
Benzamide is the most potent poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor in the family of benzamides. It acts as a neuroprotectant since it inhibits PARP, an enzyme activated by nitric oxide. Benzamide is twice as active than its commonly used counterpart, 3-aminobenzamide in delaying or suppressing PARP activation. It is able to prevent nuclear fragmentation and apoptotic-body formation without affecting DNA fragmentation during apoptosis. This PARP inhibitor, which has been analyzed in the range of 100 to 500 µM, is provided at a convenient concentration for subsequent serial dilution and use with Trevigen's PARP Inhibition Assay Kit (Cat# 4669-96-K).
