Introduction
Goal: Development of FRET based kit to screen compounds that could alter binding between SUMO1 and UBC9.
•Why is it important to have this kit?Disregulation of the SUMO pathway has been linked to diseases including ovarian carcinoma, melanoma, and lung adenocarcinoma. (Mo and Moschos 2005)

Sensitivity of Flexstation II- A general HTS development instrument
For accurate fluorescence measurements of single proteins and conjugations, an assay must have values away from background noise
500 ng is the lowest amount for usable assay conditions.

•Cell Lysate obtained from 1 Liter of E. coli solution and resuspended in 30 mL of Resuspension buffer• Column purification protocol involves 10mL of lysate poured into a column with 500 µL of agarose nickel bead solution with subsequent 10 mL washes. •Elution took place 500 µL at a time and continued until the beads showed no fluorescence. Wash solutions adapted from Qiagen Ni-NTA agarose beads purification booklet
Method to Determine Protein Concentration
Bradford Assay: Total protein
concentrations of solution can be calculated using the equation obtained from graph.

•Tested purity effects on FRET with each protein at a constant amount of 500 ng. •Results demonstrate that purity of fluorescent proteins and in FRET has no effect at low concentration(10ng/µl).•Emission max of Ypet-Ubc9 over Cypet-SUMO1 to obtain FRET ratio.•Results demonstrate little to no change in FRET ratio when purity is varied.
Purity does not have significant effect on FRET ratio
Lyophilization Effects Experimental Design
Lyophilize 1mL of protein solution in 1.5mL tubes for Cypet-SUMO1 and Ypet-UBC9 for the following tests Lyophilized and stored as powder at RT Lyophilized and stored as powder at 4 degree Lyophilized and stored as powder at -20 degree Lyophilized and stored as powder at -80 degree Lyophilized then stored as solution at RT Lyophilized then stored as solution at 4 degree Lyophilized then stored as solution -20 degree Lyophilized then stored as solution -80 degree
Lyophilization Effects Obtained purity before lyophilization Weighed tube before and after
lyophilization to obtain protein amount and fluorescent protein amounts
Diluted all solutions to have the same protein concentrations, and same total protein amount per well.
Performed FRET analysis of each solution to determine FRET effeciency
