Transcreener® GDP GTPase Assay Kits

Targeting LRRK2 for Parkinson’s Disease with the Transcreener® GDP GTPase Assay

The Only Mix-and-Read Fluorescent GTPase Assay

The Transcreener GDP GTPase assay is a homogenous, fluorescent immunoassay that monitors the activity of GTPases along with GEF and GAP partners. The assay directly measures the amount of GDP produced in an in vitro GTPase reaction.

Three Readouts Available

Three available fluorescent readouts provide a safe, HTS-compatible alternative to cumbersome radioassay methods and are more sensitive and less subject to interference than colorimetric phosphate detection methods such as malachite green. All readouts use far-red tracers to minimize compound interference and lower false-positive rates.

  • Fluorescence polarization (FP)
  • Fluorescence intensity (FI)
  • Time-resolved Forster-resonance-energy-transfer (TR-FRET)

GTPase Assay Principle - Universal GDP Detection

GTP hydrolysis from GTPase activity creates the product GDP and an additional phosphate. GDP displaces tracer from a highly selective monoclonal antibody resulting in a decrease in fluorescence polarization and TR-FRET or an increase in fluorescence intensity - perfect for your high throughput screen!

What Can You Do With Transcreener

  • Measure guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity
  • Measure GTPase-activating proteins (GAP) activity
  • Detect any GDP producing enzyme: GTPases, Gα proteins, Ras-like G proteins (Ras, Roc, Rac, cdc42, etc.), fucosyltransferases, mannosyltransferases

Assay Features

  • Easy-to-Use, Ultra-Sensitive GTPase Activity Assay
  • Homogenous, simple, mix-and-read method
  • Tunable dynamic range to match the target of interest
  • HTS Compatible with 96, 384, and 1536-well plates
  • Direct detection of GDP to monitor GTPase, GAP, and GEF Activity
  • Stable assay reagents – minimum 8-hour reagent and signal stability even at room temperature!

GTPase Assay Data Under Initial Velocity Conditions

Standard curves mimicking the enzymatic conversion of GTP to GDP using the Transcreener GDP FP Assay. The dynamic range of the assay can be easily tuned for different initial GTP concentrations. Excellent Z' values are achieved even at low GDP reagent formation.

Use with a Variety of GTPase Enzymes

Based on BellBrook Lab's proprietary nucleotide immunodetection technology, the Transcreener GDP Assays are compatible with any enzyme class that produces GDP, including monomeric small G proteins, such as CDC42, and Gα subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins, such as Gαi1. Learn how Transcreener can be used to study targets like Cdc42 and RhoA in Springer's Rho GTPases Methods and Protocols. Discover how researchers at UT Southwestern used the GDP assay to screen dynamin GTPase activity.
