Abstract Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are employed for the treatment of lymphoma and are under development against multiple other types of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we describe a robust and uncomplicated in vitro assay for HDAC inhibitor kinetic profiling. Enzyme and fluorogenic peptide substrate are incubated together with a small amount of protease “assay developer”, which enables continuous recording of substrate conversion under steady-state conditions. Assay progression curves upon addition of an inhibitors at varying concentrations permit determination of kinetic constants and overall inhibitor potency. This assay helped provide new insight into the kinetic properties of known HDAC inhibitors as well as the kinetic characterization of both inhibitors and substrates of sirtuin enzymes, which are class III HDACs involved in metabolic control and oncogene regulation.

The nuclear receptor SET domain-containing family of proteins (NSD1, NSD2, and NSD3) is known to mono- and dimethylate lysine 36 of histone H3 (H3K36). Overexpression and translocation of NSDs have been widely implicated in a variety of diseases including cancers. Although the substrate specificity of NSDs has been a subject of many valuable studies, the activity of these proteins has never been fully characterized in vitro. In this study, we present full kinetic characterization of NSD1, NSD2, and NSD3 and provide robust in vitro assays suitable for screening these proteins in a 384-well format using nucleosome as a substrate. Through monitoring the changes in substrate specificity of a series of NSD constructs and using molecular modeling, we show that a basic post-SET extension common to all three NSDs (corresponding to residues 1209 to 1226 of NSD2) is essential for proper positioning on nucleosome substrates.

We have reconstituted<i> </i>the <i>in vitro</i> activity of the purified condensation enzymes PigC and TamQ, from prodiginine and tambjamine pathways respectively. Upon analysis and comparison of their kinetic profiles, a ping-pong reaction sequence with substrate inhibition was identified for each condensation enzyme.

Abstract Ras-mediated apoptotic signaling is expected to be mediated via Rassf-MST complexes, but the system has been poorly characterized in vitro until now. Here we demonstrate that active H-Ras, Nore1A and MST1 form a stable ternary complex in vitro without other external factors, Nore1A interacting simultaneously with H-Ras and MST1 via its RBD and SARAH domain, respectively. Moreover, our data show for the first time that the SARAH domain of Nore1A plays a role in the Nore1A binding to H-Ras. Finally, we analyze the relation between the electrostatic and hydrophobic forces and kinetic constants of the Nore1A – H-Ras complex.

ABSTRACT We report the heterologous overexpression and purification of Staphylococcus aureus PBP2 and demonstrate efficient glycan polymerization from lipid II in vitro. S. aureus PBP2 is the first purified gram-positive class A penicillin-binding protein to show good transglycosylase activity. This enables further studies on this important class of enzymes.
