NUDT5 Assay - A Transcreener AMP2 Assay Application

Transcreener AMP² Assay directly measures AMP produced by NUDT5 (nudix hydrolase 5 or NUDIX5). These AMP measurements allow researchers to effectively determine the activity of the NUDT5 enzyme. The assay provides a powerful tool to screen compound libraries for NUDT5 modulators to help find new therapies for disease. 

The kit comes complete with the detection reagents required to measure activity. NUDT5 enzyme & ADPR is not included in the inhibitor screening assay kit. Please contact us for questions related to acquiring the enzyme. 

This assay is designed to be used with purified enzyme preparations. Transcreener assays are not validated with cell lysates, blood, serum, or other biological samples.

How Does This NUDT5 Assay Work?

The Transcreener NUDT5 Assay determines NUDT5 enzyme activity by directly measuring AMP formed by the enzyme using the Transcreener AMP2/GMP2 Assay. By detecting AMP output, the assay provides a universal method to assess the activity of any AMP-producing enzyme in real-time. 

Transcreener NUDT5 Assay technology uses a simple but highly effective method that consists of an antibody selective to AMP over a far-red fluorescent tracer. AMP produced in the reaction competes with the tracer changing the fluorescent properties and providing fluorescent readout. 

The NUDT5 assay is available with FP and TR-FRET. It is a simple mix-and-read format. Perform your enzyme reaction, add the detection reagent, and measure. The simplicity of the system yields robust results that also makes it extremely amiable to HTS.

Robust Assay Yields Quality Data

Z’ measurements using optimized NUDT5 reaction conditions indicate a robust assay.  Quality data like this is vital for sizeable high throughput screens that are difficult to complete due to massive sample quantity. Z' shown here = 0.91

The Role of NUDT5 As a Therapeutic Target

NUDIX hydrolases, a superfamily of enzymes, hydrolyze modified nucleoside diphosphates. NUDT1 is one of the most well-studied NUDIX hydrolases with correlation to several disorders including Parkinson's disease and cancer. NUDT5 recently attracted interest due to linkage to some human malignancies. NUDT5 hydrolyzes 8-OH-dGDP, 8-OH-dADP, and ADP-ribose (ADPR) along with other substrates.

High amounts of NUDT1 and NUDT5 correlate with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines and tissues, and greater levels of both proteins in NSCLC patients link to tumor metastasis. NUDT5 expression elevates in human breast cancer cell lines and breast tumor tissues. High NUDT5 expression profiles exhibit significantly poorer prognoses than lower NUDT5 levels.

The Transcreener AMP2 Assay is an excellent tool for researchers examining the therapeutic effects of NUDT5.
