Background
Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) play an important role in the dynamic regulation of cAMP and cGMP signaling. PDE1C is a calmodulin-dependent PDE that is expressed principally in human myocardium. Phosphodiesterases catalyze the hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond in dye-labeled cyclic monophosphates. Beads selectively bind the phosphate group in the nucleotide product. This increases the size of the nucleotide relative to unreacted cyclic monophosphate. In the polarization assay, dye molecules with absorption transition vectors parallel to the linearly-polarized excitation light are selectively excited. Dyes attached to the rapidly-rotating cyclic monophosphates will obtain random orientations and emit light with low polarization. Dyes attached to the slowly-rotating nucleotide-bead complexes will not have time to reorient and therefore will emit highly polarized light.
Description
The PDE1C Assay Kit is a fluorescence polarization (FP), homogeneous, 96-well assay kit designed for the screening and profiling of PDE1C (Phosphodiesterase 1C) inhibitors. This assay takes advantage of a specific fluorescent phosphate-binding nanoparticle. The kit contains enough purified recombinant PDE1C, fluorescent probe, PDE assay buffer, Binding Agent, and diluent for 100 reactions.Figure 1: Illustrationof the PDE1C Assay Kit principle.The assay uses a fluorescein-labeled cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP-FAM for PDE1C), in which the phosphate group is engaged within the cyclic nucleotide. This is a very small molecule that rotates fast (low FP) . PDE1C catalyzes the hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond in the cyclic nucleotide and frees the phosphate group. In a second step the free phosphate group is recognized by a specific phosphate-binding nanobead (Binding Agent) leading to the formation of a large complex, with restricted movement (high FP) . FP is proportional to PDE1C activity.This assay requires a fluorescent microplate reader capable of measuring fluorescence polarization (FP) and equipped with the required parts to read the FP signal.

Storage Conditions
At least 6 months from date of receipt, when stored as directed. Kit components require different storage conditions. Be sure to store each component at the proper temperature upon arrival.
Contraindications
The final concentration of DMSO in the assay should not exceed 1%.Fluorescent compounds that have λex=470 nm and detection at λem=528 nm can interfere with the readouts.It is recommended that the compound alone is tested to determine any potential interference of the compound on the assay results.
