High-throughput Giardia lamblia viability assay using bioluminescent ATP content measurements.
The human pathogen Giardia lamblia is an anaerobic protozoan parasite that causes giardiasis, one of the most common diarrheal diseases worldwide. Although several drugs are available for the treatment of giardiasis, drug resistance has been reported and is likely to increase, and recurrent infections are common. The search for new drugs that can overcome the drug-resistant strains of Giardia i...
متن کاملReal-time bioluminescent assay for inhibitors of RNA and DNA polymerases and other ATP-dependent enzymes.
Viral polymerases are important targets for drug development. However, current methods used to identify and characterize inhibitors of polymerases are time-consuming, use radiolabeled reagents, and are cost-inefficient. Here we present a bioluminescent assay for the identification and characterization of inhibitors of polymerases, as well as other ATP-dependent enzymes, that monitors the decrea...
متن کاملA Novel Bioluminescent Protease Assay Using Engineered Firefly Luciferase
Proteases play important roles in a variety of disease processes. Understanding their biological functions underpins the efforts of drug discovery. We have developed a bioluminescent protease assay using a circularly permuted form of firefly luciferase, wherein the native enzyme termini were joined by a peptide containing a protease site of interest. Protease cleavage of these mutant luciferase...
متن کاملUse of an ATP bioluminescent assay to evaluate viability of Pneumocystis carinii from rats.
A bioluminescent assay which employs the luciferin-luciferase ATP-dependent reaction was used to evaluate the viability of populations of Pneumocystis carinii derived from infected rat lungs. Contamination with host cells was reduced by a purification method which involved a combination of low- and high-speed centrifugations resulting in a 1,000-fold reduction of the rat cells while enriching f...
متن کاملSmall-scale telomere repeat sequence content assay using pyrophosphorolysis coupled with ATP detection.
Studies of telomere length have been carried out in diverse areas of research. However, current methods to measure telomeres are cumbersome and not amenable to high-throughput analyses. Using a coupled pyrophosphorolysis/trans-phosphorylation reaction, we have developed a novel assay to quantitate telomere sequence content in a single tube or 96-well format. The method uses a telomere-specific ...
