DNA Modifying Enzymes Fluorometric Assay

Overview

DNA modifying enzymes, such as DNA methyltransferases, DNA glycosylases and DNA demethylases play important roles in regulating gene expression and maintaining genomic stability. Accurate measurement of their activities is essential to better understand their functions in gene regulation and disease processes. Fluorometric assays are widely used to measure enzyme activity due to their high sensitivity, specificity and speed. The assay works by monitoring the fluorescence emission when a substrate or a product specifically modified with a fluorophore interacts with the enzyme.

Methods

Fluorometric assays have become popular in assessing the activity of DNA modifying enzymes due to their high throughput nature and sensitivity. Depending on the specific enzyme being studied, different fluorophores and substrates can be utilized. The following are some examples of fluorophores and substrates used for DNA modifying enzyme assays:

  • Methyltransferases
  • Glycosylases
  • Demethylases
