UniOne®TR-FRET Human HBS1L/CRBN Ternary Binding Kit

The kit is based on homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence technology (TR-FRET) technology，which is used to assess the molecular glue-mediated interaction between the HBS1L and CRBN. This method provides a high-throughput approach to detect the small molecules capable of mediating the interaction between the HBS1L and CRBN simply and rapidly.

As shown in the figure below, the interaction between HBS1L and CRBN was detected by an Tb-labeled anti-Tag1 antibody (TR-FRET donor) and an Ac-labeled SA (TR-FRET receptor). Since the molecular adhesive TNG961 mediates the interaction between HBS1L and CRBN, the donor antibody is in close proximity to the receptor. Excitation of the donor antibody triggers fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to the receptor, resulting in specific emission of a signal at a wavelength of 665 nm from the receptor. This specific signal is proportional to the degree of interaction between TNG961, HBS1L and CRBN. This homogeneous assay is simple to perform and requires no washing steps.

Note: Aliquot into appropriate volumes, store at the recommended temperature and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycle.

【Process and Operations】

1、Reagent Preparation

1.1 Compositions equilibration

Before use, dissolve all reagents at room temperature (allow at least 30 minutes for temperature equilibration). For the 384-well plate assay, use 20 μL of reaction mixture (the reagent quantities are listed in the table below). Calculate the required volume prior to preparation accordingly. The following preparation steps are provided for reference only, using a 500-well plate as an example.

1.2 Gradient dilution of the sample

TNG961 as an example, the dilution solution is 1× Detection buffer. To minimize interference from matrix effects, it is recommended to use a solution with the same matrix composition as the sample being tested; additionally, the sample concentration should be adjusted according to its actual situation.

2、Sample and control

2.1 Sample：Add 4 μL of Tag1-HBS1L protein working solution, 4 μL of Tag2-CRBN protein working solution, 2 μL of the gradient-diluted sample , and 10 μL of the mixed Antibody Mix sequentially into the 384-well plate.

2.2 TNG961 : 4 μL of Tag1-HBS1L protein working solution, 4 μL of Tag2-CRBN protein working solution, 2 μL of gradient-diluted TNG961 , and 10 μL of the mixed Antibody Mix sequentially into the 384-well plate.

2.3 Blank：4 μL of Tag1-HBS1L protein working solution, 4 μL of Tag2-CRBN protein working solution, 2 μL of Detection buffer, and 10 μL of the mixed Antibody Mix sequentially into the 384-well plate.

2.4 Negative control： 10μL Detection buffer, and 10 μL of the mixed Antibody Mix sequentially into the 384-well plate.

After adding all samples, centrifuge, seal with a cover membrane, and incubate at room temperature for 1 hour.
