[0298] SMYD3 Biochemical Assay

[0299] A SMYD3 enzymatic assay was developed using Promega's Methyltransferase-Glo reagents. In the assay, SMYD3 catalyzes the methylation of the MAP3K2 peptide substrate by transferring a methyl group from SAM to MAP3K2 peptide and further converts the SAM to SAH. The SMYD3 methyltransferase activity is measured based on the amount of SAH produced from the reaction through the use of coupling enzymes that convert the SAH to ATP. The MTase-Glo detection solution then catalyzes the formation of light from ATP.

[0300] For the IC.sub.50 determination, the compounds were incubated with 0.4 M of SMYD3 enzyme for 30 min in low volume 384 well plates. A final concentration of 1.0 M and 10 M SAM and MAP3K2 peptide were added and further incubated for 30 min at room temperature before adding the MTase Glo and detection reagent. Reaction signals were detected using microplate readers on luminescent mode (Safire Tecan). The IC.sub.50 was determined by non-linear regression, using GraphPad Prism version, 5.03.

Briefly, 600 L of 0.6% agar was added to 24-well plate (Corning, Cat No: 3738) to form the base layer. This is followed by the addition of 500 L of 0.36% agar middle layer (containing 10000Hep G2 cells). Lastly, 500 L of fresh growth medium (containing the corresponding serially diluted compound) was added above the middle layer. The plates were incubated at 37 C. with 5% carbon dioxide in a humidified incubator for 1 to 2 weeks. 70 L of thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (5 mg/mL, Sigma Cat No: M5655) was added to each well and the plates were incubated at 37 C. for 2 h.

This was performed using an antibody against the MAP3K2 (me2/me3), Anti-ME2/ME3-K260-MAP3K2 (1:500) and total MAP3K2, Anti-MEKK2 #ab33918 (1:10,000). B019 inhibited the methylation of MAP3K2 in the cells without changing the total MAP3K2 levels. Whereas, the less active compound X4 (please refer to Comparative Example 1) was unable to inhibit the methylation of MAP3K2 at 25 M.
