Measure Target Protein Ubiquitination in Live Cells

Regulating overall cellular protein homeostasis is critical for maintaining cell health and often altered by cellular treatments or disease states. Most proteins and their abundance are regulated via the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS), which uses ubiquitin conjugation to signal proteins to be trafficked to the proteasome for degradation. Ubiquitination on any given target can vary in levels, mono- and poly-ubiquitination, and mediated through a variety of amino acid linkages.

The NanoBRET® Ubiquitination Starter Kit provides the tools to create target-specific live-cell ubiquitin assays that globally measure all types of ubiquitination on a target protein. The assays can be used to measure dynamic increases or decreases in the relative levels of target protein ubiquitination following cellular treatments, such as small molecules or pathway inducers, that would influence protein stabilization or degradation, respectively. These assays can be particularly useful for studying targeted degradation compounds because the bioluminescent resonance energy transfer ratio of the NanoBRET™®signal means you can investigate protein ubiquitination while simultaneously monitoring target protein levels to assess degradation.

Ubiquitination Assay Overview

Ubiquitination BRET Assay Overview

How to Get Started

  1. Create the bioluminescent donor protein that is the ubiquitination target. The donor protein can be created as a NanoLuc® fusion protein with the provided NanoLuc® cloning vectors or an endogenous target tagged with HiBiT with 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 HaloTag®-Ubiquitin fusion proteins via transient transfection either by 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 the target protein ubiquitination levels.
  4. Add the NanoBRET® Nano-Glo® reagents, either endpoint or kinetic, that 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.

Measure Compound-Dependent Levels of Target Protein Ubiquitination in a Live-Cell Assay

Detecting protein ubiquitination kinetics 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 result in increased target protein ubiquitination and subsequent degradation via the UPS. Here we show an endogenously tagged protein, HiBiT-BRD4, with varying kinetic increases in ubiquitination levels that depend on specific PROTAC treatment.

Endogenous BRD4 ubiquitination kinetics
Monitoring changes in ubiquitination and multiplexed target protein levels after signaling pathway modulation

In the absence of Wnt signaling, β-catenin is phosphorylated and degraded, resulting in a high level of ubiquitinated β-catenin. Here we use endogenous HiBiT-tagged β-catenin and transiently transfected HaloTag®-Ubiquitin Fusion and LgBiT Vectors to demonstrate that inhibiting the upstream kinase, GSK-3β, by treatment with the compound AZD2858 results in decreased β-catenin ubiquitination and subsequent protein stabilization. Since β-catenin is the donor protein in the NanoBRET® assay, its protein level is monitored separately in the same assay. Therefore, you can determine relative abundance of the target protein and ubiquitination in a single assay.
