Popis: | A widely used generic assay for 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenases relies upon monitoring the release of 14CO2 from labeled [1-14C]-2-oxoglutarate. We report an alternative assay in which depletion of 2-oxoglutarate is monitored by its postincubation derivatization with o-phenylenediamine to form a product amenable to fluorescence analysis. The utility of the procedure is demonstrated by assays with hypoxia-inducible factor hydroxylases where it was shown to give results similar to those reported with the radioactive assay, but it is more efficient and readily adapted to a multiwell format. The process should be amenable to the assay of other 2-oxoglutarate-consuming enzymes and to the discovery of inhibitors. |
