PDE Enzyme Assays Using [3H]cGMP as Substrate: The following phosphodiesterase activities are measured using [3H]cGMP as reaction substrate: human PDE6A/6B. The catalytic active form of human PDE6 is a dimer composed of a α (human PDE6A) and β subunits (human PDE6B). The dimer of human PDE6A/6B is produced by the coexpression and purification strategy, using two purification steps, i.e., NiNTA and anti-FLAG Sepharose chromatography. The assay buffer is prepared to give a final concentration in the assay of 50 mM Tris-HCl, 8.3 mM MgCl2, 1.7 mM EDTA and 0.1% Bovine serum albumin at pH 7.5. The final enzyme concentration is 5 nM. The reactions are started by addition of the substrate, [3H]cGMP, to give a final concentration of 80 nM.
