Ca++-Induced G Protein Coupled Receptor (GPCR) Activation Monitored via Aequorin Luminescence in the LMax Microplate Luminometer (MaxLine Application Note #42)

ith a constant agonist concentration in the injector reservoir, theLmax microplate luminometer could potentially be used to run high-thoughputluminescent assays for GPCR antagonist screening.


PRINCIPLE OF ASSAY
CHO cells expressing the apo-aequorin protein were tested in the L-max using uridine triphosphate (UTP) to activate the endogenous P2Y purinergic receptor. This receptor is known to be coupled to the Gq pathway, causing an increase in intracellular calcium. In order to form the aequorin complex, the cells were first loaded with the coenzyme coelenterazine. There are many different isoforms of this coenzyme available, for these studies. We chose to use the native coelenterazine and the coelenterazine(h) isoform.
