Assess Proteasomal Recruitment in Live Cells

Regulating overall cellular protein homeostasis is critical for maintaining cell health and often found to be altered by cellular treatments or disease states. The majority of eukaryotic proteins and their abundance is regulated via the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS), where ubiquitin is conjugated to signal proteins and sends the ubiquitinated complex to the 26S proteasome for degradation.

The NanoBRET® Proteasomal Recruitment Starter Kit provides the tools to create target-specific live-cell assays to globally monitor recruitment to the 26S proteasome. This assay can be used to study dynamic increases or decreases in 26S trafficking after cellular treatments, such as small molecules or pathway inducers, that would influence protein stabilization or degradation. These 26S proteasome assays can be particularly useful for the study of targeted degradation compounds because the NanoBRET® signal ratio means you can investigate proteasome recruitment while simultaneously monitoring target protein levels to assess degradation.

Proteasomal Recruitment Assay Overview

Proteasome Recruitment Assay Overview

How to Get Started

  1. Create the bioluminescent donor protein, which is the target being monitored for proteasome recruitment. The donor protein can be created as a NanoLuc® fusion protein with the provided NanoLuc® cloning vectors or as an endogenous target tagged with HiBiT by CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing. Express the NanoLuc® fusion either transiently or stably in any cell line that can be transfected. Transfect the LgBiT expression vector into HiBiT CRISPR cell lines to produce binary complementation in the cell. The NanoLuc®-BRD4 FL Fusion Vector is provided as a positive control.
  2. Introduce the HaloTag®-PSMD3 (26S proteasome regulatory subunit 3) fusion protein via transient transfection either co-transfecting with the NanoLuc® fusion protein or with the LgBiT vector if using a HiBiT CRISPR cell line. Labeled HaloTag® fusion protein will serve as the fluorescent acceptor in the BRET assay. HaloTag® protein, expressed from the HaloTag® Control Vector, is used as a negative control.
  3. Treat cells with compounds that affect proteasome recruitment.
  4. Add the NanoBRET® Nano-Glo® reagents, endpoint or kinetic, which provide the substrate for the donor protein and the fluorescent NanoBRET® HaloTag® 618 Ligand for the acceptor protein. Measure the donor and acceptor signal using filtered luminescence, and determine NanoBRET® ratio. Trafficking to the proteasome will result in energy transfer between the donor and acceptor and an increased NanoBRET® signal.

Measure Compound-Dependent Levels of Target Protein Recruitment to the Proteasome in a Live-Cell Kinetic Assay

Increased protein trafficking to the proteasome in response to degrader compound treatment

Targeted degradation compounds, such as PROTACs and molecular glues, create a ternary complex between the protein and an E3 ligase component. A productive and active ternary complex will increase target protein ubiquitination, leading to increased trafficking to the 26S proteasome. Here we transiently transfected NanoLuc®-BRD4 and HaloTag®-PSMD3 Fusion Vectors in HEK293 cells, and the NanoBRET® signal showed the expected kinetic increase in proteasome trafficking when MZ1, a VHL-mediated PROTAC, was added. Assay specificity was demonstrated by adding increasing levels of VH298, which binds VHL and blocks the PROTAC-mediated ternary complex and BRD4 ubiquitination.

Monitoring decreases in proteasomal recruitment after signaling pathway modulation

In the absence of Wnt signaling, β‑catenin is phosphorylated and degraded via the UPS, resulting in a high basal level of β‑catenin at the proteasome. Here we use transiently transfected NanoLuc®-β-catenin and HaloTag®-PSMD3 fusion proteins to demonstrate that inhibiting the upstream kinase, GSK‑3β, by treatment with the compound AZD2858 decreased β‑catenin proteasomal recruitment, resulting in increased protein levels. Because β-catenin is the donor protein in the NanoBRET® assay, its protein level is monitored separately so both relative target protein abundance and proteasome recruitment can be determined in a single assay.
