Product Description

A-196 (A196) is a potent, selective and first-in-class inhibitor of SUV420H1 and SUV420H2 (IC50= 25 and 144 nM) with anticancer activity. It inhibits the di- and trimethylation of H4K20me in multiple cell lines. The in vitro activity of A-196 includes inhibition of SUV420H1 with IC50 of 25 nM and SUV420H2 with IC50 of 144 nM for methylation of H4K20me and greater than 100-fold selectivity over other histone methyltransferases and non-epigenetic targets. A-196 is a substrate-competitive inhibitor of both SUV4-20 enzymes. In cells, A-196 induced a global decrease in H4K20me2 and H4K20me3 and a concomitant increase in H4K20me1. A-196 inhibited 53BP1 foci formation upon ionizing radiation and reduced NHEJ-mediated DNA-break repair but did not affect homology-directed repair. These results demonstrate the role of SUV4-20 enzymatic activity in H4K20 methylation and DNA repair. A-196 represents a first-in-class chemical probe of SUV4-20 to investigate the role of histone methyltransferases in genomic integrity.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
SUV420H1 [1]
SUV420H2 [1]
ln Vitro
After 48 hours of treatment with A-196 (0-5 μM; U2OS cells), H4K20me1 (EC50 value of 735 nM) increases, but H4K20me2 and H4K20me3 (EC50 values of 262 and 370 nM, respectively) decrease (see reference 1). In cells from various tissue types, A-196 (10 μM; 72 hours; wild-type, Suv4-20h double knockout, and inhibitor-treated mouse embryonic fibroblasts) inhibits the SUV4-20 enzyme without showing any signs of toxicity [1].
1. A-196 acts as a substrate-competitive inhibitor of SUV420H1 and SUV420H2; biochemical analyses confirmed its inhibitory specificity for these two histone-lysine N-methyltransferases [1]
2. In cellular assays, A-196 induced a global decrease in histone 4 lysine 20 dimethylation (H4K20me2) and trimethylation (H4K20me3), accompanied by a concomitant increase in H4K20 monomethylation (H4K20me1) [1]
3. A-196 inhibited the formation of 53BP1 foci in cells exposed to ionizing radiation; it reduced nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ)-mediated DNA-break repair, while having no effect on homology-directed repair (HDR) [1]
ln Vivo

Enzyme Assay
1. Biochemical activity assay for SUV420H1/SUV420H2: Recombinant SUV420H1 and SUV420H2 proteins were purified and incubated with A-196 at different concentrations, along with the natural substrate (histone H4 peptide containing lysine 20) and methyl donor (S-adenosylmethionine, SAM). The methyltransferase activity of the enzymes was measured by quantifying the level of H4K20 methylation (me2/me3) using a detection method (e.g., mass spectrometry or antibody-based assay). The assay confirmed that A-196 competes with the substrate for binding to SUV420H1/SUV420H2, thereby inhibiting their enzymatic activity [1]
2. Co-crystallization assay for binding mode analysis: A-196 was co-crystallized with SUV420H1/SUV420H2 proteins. X-ray diffraction data of the protein-ligand crystals were collected and analyzed to determine the binding site and interaction mode of A-196 with the enzymes, verifying its substrate-competitive binding mechanism [1]
Cell Assay
Western Blot Analysis[1]
Cell Types: U2OS cells
Tested Concentrations: 0 μM, 0.075 μM, 0.15 μM, 0.3 μM, 0.6 μM, 1.25 μM, 2.5 μM, 5 μM
Incubation Duration: 48 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Increased in H4K20me1 and diminished in both H4K20me2 and H4K20me3.
1. Histone methylation detection assay: Cultured tumor cell lines (or other relevant cell lines) were treated with A-196 at different concentrations for a predetermined period. Total histones were extracted from the cells, and the levels of H4K20me1, H4K20me2, and H4K20me3 were quantified using western blot or mass spectrometry. The results showed a dose-dependent decrease in H4K20me2/me3 and an increase in H4K20me1 in A-196-treated cells [1]
2. 53BP1 foci formation assay: Cells were pretreated with A-196 and then exposed to ionizing radiation (IR). After IR exposure, cells were fixed and immunostained with an antibody against 53BP1. The number and size of 53BP1 foci (a marker of DNA double-strand break repair) were analyzed by fluorescence microscopy. The assay demonstrated that A-196 significantly inhibited the formation of 53BP1 foci induced by IR [1]
3. DNA repair pathway assay: Cells treated with A-196 were subjected to assays to evaluate NHEJ and HDR activity. For NHEJ assessment, a reporter plasmid-based assay was used to measure the efficiency of NHEJ-mediated DNA repair; for HDR assessment, a similar reporter system was employed to detect HDR activity. The results confirmed that A-196 reduced NHEJ efficiency but had no impact on HDR [1]

Additional Infomation
1. A-196 is the first compound to selectively inhibit SUV420H1 and SUV420H2, which are two protein lysine methyltransferases (PKMTs) that catalyze the modification of H4K20me2 and H4K20me3, respectively [1]. 2. Genetic studies have shown that SUV420H1/SUV420H2 promotes efficient non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)-mediated DNA repair, and the development of A-196 aims to verify the role of these enzymes in genome integrity [1]. 3. A-196 can be used as a chemical probe to study the function of histone methyltransferases (especially SUV4-20) in maintaining genome integrity, providing a tool for studying the epigenetic regulation of DNA repair [1].
