Product Description

Mirin is a potent inhibitor of the MRN (Mre11 / Rad50 / Nbs1) complex and Ataxia Telangiectasia-Mutated (ATM) protein kinase. The Mre11/Rad50/Nbs1 (MRN) complex recruits the Ataxia Telangiectasia-Mutated (ATM) protein kinase to sites of double-strand DNA breaks and aids in ATM monomerization and activation. At least two different conformational states of MRN exist, and they are both reliant on ATP binding and Rad50 protein hydrolysis. Although some mutations in the Mre11 catalytic domain, as well as the mirin compound, block ATM activation independent of nuclease function, Mre11 nuclease activity is not necessary. Egg extracts and mammalian cells that have been treated with the Mre11 inhibitor mirin have less RCC1 binding to mitotic chromosomes. By modifying RCC1 chromosome association, the MRN-CtIP pathway thereby aids in Ran-dependent mitotic spindle assembly.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Mirin inhibits the phosphorylation of Nbs1 and Chk2 downstream targets by ATM, the DSB-induced activation of ATM, and the MRN-dependent autophosphorylation of ATM at Ser1981 in response to DSBs. Additionally, mirin prevents homology-dependent DNA repair in HEK293 cells and the G2 checkpoint in TOSA4 cells.[1]
Mirin makes HPV episomes more sensitive to PA25 in cells that have integrated HPV16 (SiHa), which lowers the PA25 IC50 by about five times.[2]
In addition, pretreatment with mirin reduces the viability of the cells and prevents the expression of the nuclear antigen in proliferating cells in human embryonic kidney 293 cells treated with cisplatin.[3]
Enzyme Assay
In 25 mM MOPS (pH 7.0), 60 mM KCl, 0.2% Tween 20, 2 mM DTT, 1 mM or 5 MnCl2 (or 5 mM MgCl2, or 5 mM CaCl2), 0.1 pmol of DNA substrate, and 0.3 pmol of Mre11 (or an equivalent amount of Mre11 complexed with Rad50) in a volume of 10 μl are the contents of reactions with oligonucleotide nonhairpin substrates. The reactions are then incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes. After that, proteinase K, SDS, and EDTA are added at final concentrations of 0.1 mg/ml, 5 mM, and 0.2%, respectively, and the mixture is incubated for an additional 15 minutes. A sequencing gel containing 10% acrylamide and 7 M urea is loaded with 4 μl of each reaction combined with 4 μl of formamide loading buffer. Each gel is examined using a phosphorimaging apparatus following the run. The only differences between reactions with and without hairpin substrates are that 3 pmol of Mre11 is added to the reactions as directed and that the reactions are left to overnight at room temperature. 25 mM MOPS (pH 7.0), 60 mM KCl, and 0.2% Tween are included in nonhomologous end-joining reactions. 0.2 mM DTT, 0.5 mM ATP, 4 ng of plasmid DNA, 10% polyethylene glycol, 0.01 pmol of human DNA ligase I, 0.06 pmol of Mre11, and 0.1 units of E. coli exonuclease III (GIBCO-BRL) in a volume of 10 μl are all included in the mixture. Following a 25-minute incubation period at 37°C, a final concentration of 0.5% of Tween 20 is added, and a 2.5-microliter aliquot is amplified via PCR using primers DAR5 and DAR147. The TA cloning kit is used to clone PCR products, and an automated ABI Capillary Genetic Analyzer is used to sequence the results.
Cell Assay
In humidified air with 5% CO2 at 37 °C, human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells are cultured in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 5% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum, penicillin (100 U/mL), and streptomycin (100 mg/mL). Every 48 hours, new medium is added to the cells. In 96-well plates, the cells are seeded with regular growth medium. Before receiving cisplatin (20 μM) treatment and being incubated for eight and twenty-four hours, cells are pretreated with mirin (100 μM) for one hour. Following the manufacturer's instructions, the MTT assay is carried out using the EZ-Cytox cell viability assay kit, and MTT reduction is measured using a micro-plate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm.
