C-Myc: WDR5 [Biotinylated] Binding Chemiluminescent Assay Kit

The c-Myc: WDR5 [Biotinylated] Binding Chemiluminescent Assay Kit is an ELISA designed to measure the binding between c-Myc and WDR5 (WD40 repeat domain 5) protein for screening and profiling applications. This kit comes with enough purified c-Myc (amino acids 2-454 (end) ) and biotinylated WDR5 (amino acids 2-334 (end) ), MLL1 (amino acids 3745-end), streptavidin-HRP, assay buffer, and detection reagent for 100 enzyme reactions.Figure 1. c-Myc: WDR5 [Biotinylated] Binding Chemiluminescent Assay Kitschematic.A 96-well plate is coated with c-Myc protein. After coating and blocking, MLL1 and biotinylated WDR5 are added in an optimized assay buffer. Next, unbound biotinylated WDR5-MLL complexes are washed away, and the plate is incubated with streptavidin-HRP. After a final wash, ELISA ECL substrate is added to produce chemiluminescence that can be measured using a chemiluminescence reader. The chemiluminescence signal is proportional to the efficacy of WDR5 binding to c-Myc.Interested in having us perform the screening and profiling of inhibitors or blocking antibodies?

Product Specifications

Background

WDR5 (WD40 repeat-containing protein 5) is a protein that is part of the histone methyltransferase complex SET1/MLL (Protein Mixed Lineage Leukemia) which catalyzes histone 3 lysine 4 methylation (H3K4me) . In addition to its direct role in gene regulation by impacting histone methylation, WDR5 can induce transcription of c-Myc induced genes, by bringing c-Myc to the appropriate regions of the chromosome. WDR5 has two protein interaction sites: the WDR5-interacting (WIN) binding site and the WDR5-binding-motif (WBM) site. MLL1 forms the complex via the WIN binding site, while RbBP5 is bound to WBM site, which is also the site for c-Myc oncoproteins interaction. WDR5 is found at high levels in certain cancers, as is c-Myc. The addition of inhibitors that competitively bind to WIN or WBM sites has been shown to disrupt MLL activity as well as displace c-Myc from chromatin and therefore disabling its tumorigenic function.
