Abstract
β-particle emitting radionuclides, such as 3H, 14C, 32P, 33P, and 35S, are important molecular labels due to their small size and the prevalence of these atoms in biomolecules but are challenging to selectively detect and quantify within aqueous biological samples and systems. Here, we present a core-shell nanoparticle-based scintillation proximity assay platform (nanoSPA) for the separation-free, selective detection of radiolabeled analytes. nanoSPA is prepared by incorporating scintillant fluorophores into polystyrene core particles and encapsulating the scintillant-doped cores within functionalized silica shells. The functionalized surface enables covalent attachment of specific binding moieties such as small molecules, proteins, or DNA that can be used for analyte-specific detection. nanoSPA was demonstrated for detection of 3H-labeled analytes, the most difficult biologically relevant β-emitter to measure due to the low energy β-particle emission, using three model assays that represent covalent and non-covalent binding systems that necessitate selectivity over competing 3H-labeled species. In each model, nmol quantities of target were detected directly in aqueous solution without separation from unbound 3H-labeled analyte. The nanoSPA platform facilitated measurement of 3H-labeled analytes directly in bulk aqueous samples without surfactants or other agents used to aid particle dispersal. Selectivity for bound 3H-analytes over unbound 3H analytes was enhanced up to 30-fold when the labeled species was covalently bound to nanoSPA, and 4- and 8-fold for two non-covalent binding assays using nanoSPA. The small size and enhanced selectivity of nanoSPA should enable new applications compared to the commonly used microSPA platform, including the potential for separation-free, analyte-specific cellular or intracellular detection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Scintillation proximity assay (SPA) is a homogeneous scintillant bead-based platform for the measurement of biological processes and plays an important role in the identification of active chemical entities in drug discovery. OBJECTIVE The design and development of solid-phase SPA approaches are examined and compared with alternative non-radiometric fluorescence-based technologies. METHODS This review provides background on the principle of SPA and its application to biomolecular interactions from a variety of biological sources. CONCLUSION The SPA approach is well suited to the demands of commercial high volume automation and assay miniaturization for target-based high-throughput screening campaigns on synthetic and natural product libraries as well as for benchtop characterization and confirmation studies. In the near future, innovations in the way SPA and fluorescence-based screening strategies are multiplexed will improve our comprehensive understanding of cellular system biology and dramatically advance the lead discovery process for the treatment of complex target-related disorders.

Abstract
G-protein-coupled receptors represent one of the most important areas of research in the pharmaceutical industry, being one of the largest druggable gene families. Recognising this fact, manufacturers have developed a huge variety of homogeneous assay technologies that facilitate the quantification of receptor ligand binding events and their downstream signalling cascades. However, while early emphasis was placed on the most sensitive, high-throughput and cost-effective screening technologies to enable identification of the most lead matter for further development, in recent years emphasis has shifted to a focus on maximising the identification of compounds that are new and developing assays that are more biologically/pharmacologically relevant. Therefore, this review provides an overview of the binding and functional techniques available for high-throughput screening, with particular attention on how assay application and configuration can be maximised to ensure their successful identification of relevant chemical matter and thereby optimising project success.

Abstract
The 5-hydroxytryptamine 2C (5-HT(2C)) receptor is a member of the serotonin 5-HT(2) subfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors signaling predominantly via the phospholipase C (PLC) pathway. Stimulation of phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis upon 5-HT(2C) receptor activation is traditionally assessed by measuring inositol monophosphate (IP(1)) using time-consuming and labor-intensive anion exchange radioactive assays. In this study, we have developed and optimized a cellular IP(1) assay using homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF), a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based technology (Cisbio; Gif sur Yvette, France). The measurement is simple to carry out without the cumbersome steps associated with radioactive assays and may therefore be used as an alternative tool to evaluate PI hydrolysis activated by 5-HT(2C) agonists. In Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells stably expressing 5-HT(2C) receptors, characterization of 5-HT(2C) agonists with the HTRF platform revealed a rank order of potency (EC(50), nM) comparable to that from intracellular calcium mobilization studies measured by the fluorometric imaging plate reader (FLIPR). A similar rank order of potency was seen with conventional radioactive PI assay with the exception of 5-HT. Lastly, the new assay data correlated better with agonist-induced calcium responses in FLIPR (R(2) = 0.78) than with values determined by radioactive IP(1) method (R(2) = 0.64). Our study shows that the HTRF FRET-based assay detects IP(1) with good sensitivity and may be streamlined for high-throughput (HTS) applications.

Abstract
Lymphocyte antigen receptor engagement profoundly changes the cellular content of phosphoinositide lipids and soluble inositol phosphates. Among these, the phosphoinositides phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3) play key signaling roles by acting as pleckstrin homology (PH) domain ligands that recruit signaling proteins to the plasma membrane. Moreover, PIP2 acts as a precursor for the second messenger molecules diacylglycerol and soluble inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), essential mediators of PKC, Ras/Erk, and Ca2+ signaling in lymphocytes. IP3 phosphorylation by IP3 3-kinases generates inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (IP4), an essential soluble regulator of PH domain binding to PIP3 in developing T cells. Besides PIP2, PIP3, IP3, and IP4, lymphocytes produce multiple other phosphoinositides and soluble inositol phosphates that could have important physiological functions. To aid their analysis, detailed protocols that allow one to simultaneously measure the levels of multiple different phosphoinositide or inositol phosphate isomers in lymphocytes are provided here. They are based on thin layer, conventional and high-performance liquid chromatographic separation methods followed by radiolabeling or non-radioactive metal-dye detection. Finally, less broadly applicable non-chromatographic methods for detection of specific phosphoinositide or inositol phosphate isomers are discussed. Support protocols describe how to obtain pure unstimulated CD4+CD8+ thymocyte populations for analyses of inositol phosphate turnover during positive and negative selection, key steps in T cell development.

Abstract
CB1 receptor (CB1R) antagonists have been demonstrated to be effective in treating obesity and related disorders. This study has been focused on establishing a beta-arrestin 2-based screening assay for the CB1R using BRET2 technology. When the existing BRET2 screening platform was applied to the CB1R, the authors discovered that the receptor interacted weakly with beta-arrestin 2, resulting in unsatisfactory assay performance. To enhance the beta-arrestin binding capacity, they replaced the C-terminal tail of the CB1R with tails from either the V2 or BRS3 receptors, both of which interact strongly with beta-arrestin 2. Using this chimeric approach, the authors screened a small compound library and identified 21 antagonist and inverse agonist hits with IC50 and EC50 values ranging from 0.3 nM to 7.5 microM. Both primary and secondary screening were performed with Z'>0.5, suggesting that the assay is a robust and cost-effective alternative to existing cell-based assays.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) transmit extracellular signals into the intracellular space, and play key roles in the physiological regulation of virtually every cell and tissue. Characteristic for the GPCR superfamily of cell surface receptors are their seven transmembrane-spanning alpha-helices, an extracellular N terminus and intracellular C-terminal tail. Besides transmission of extracellular signals, their activity is modulated by cellular signals in an auto- or transregulatory fashion. The molecular complexity of GPCRs and their regulated signaling networks triggered the interest in academic research groups to explore them further, and their drugability and role in pathophysiology triggers pharmaceutical research towards small molecular weight ligands and therapeutic antibodies. About 30% of marketed drugs target GPCRs, which underlines the importance of this target class. This review describes current and emerging cellular assays for the ligand discovery of GPCRs.

Abstract
To analyze the interaction between the neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor and G-protein coupled receptor kinases (GRKs), we performed bioluminescence resonance energy transfer(2) (BRET(2)) measurements between the family A NK-1 receptor and GRK2 and GRK5 as well as their respective kinase-inactive mutants. We observed agonist induced interaction of both GRK5 and GRK2 with the activated NK-1 receptor. In saturation experiments, we observed GRK5 to interact with the activated receptor in a monophasic manner while GRK2 interacted in a biphasic manner with the low affinity phase corresponding to receptor affinity for GRK5. Agonist induced GRK5 interaction with the receptor was dependent on intact kinase-activity, whereas the high affinity phase of GRK2 interaction was independent of kinase activity. We were surprised to find that the BRET(2) saturation experiments indicated that before receptor activation, the full-length NK-1 receptor, but not a functional C-terminal tail-truncated receptor, is preassociated with GRK5 in a relatively low-affinity state. We demonstrate that GRK5 can compete for agonist induced GRK2 interaction with the NK-1 receptor, whereas GRK2 does not compete for receptor interaction with GRK5. We suggest that GRK5 is preassociated with the NK-1 receptor and that GRK5, rather than GRK2, is a key player in competitive regulation of GRK subtype specific interaction with the NK-1 receptor.

Abstract
This study was focused on the relationship between the plasma-membrane localization of neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1-R) and its endocytic and signaling properties. First, we employed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) to study the domain structure of HEK-293 cells and NK1-R microlocalization. EPR spectra and the GHOST condensation routine demonstrated that NK1-R was distributed in a well-ordered domain of HEK-293 cells possibly representing lipid raft/caveolae microdomains, whereas the impairment of caveolae changed the NK1-R plasma-membrane distribution. Internalization and second messenger assays combined with bioluminescence resonance energy transfer were employed subsequently to evaluate the functional importance of the NK1-R microlocalization in lipid raft/caveolae microdomains. The internalization pattern was delineated through the use of dominant-negative mutants (DNM) of caveolin-1 S80E (Cav1 S80E), dynamin-1 K44A (Dyn K44A), and beta-arrestin (beta-arr 319-418) and by means of cell lines that expressed various endogenous levels of beta-arrestins. NK1-R displayed rapid internalization that was substantially reduced by DNMs of dynamin-1 and beta-arrestin and even more profoundly in cells lacking both beta-arrestin1 and beta-arrestin2. These internalization data were highly suggestive of the predominant use of the clathrin-mediated pathway by NK1-R, even though NK1-R tended to reside constitutively in lipid raft/caveolae microdomains. Evidence was also obtained that the proper clustering of the receptor in these microdomains was important for effective agonist-induced NK1-R signaling and for its interaction with beta-arrestin2.

Abstract
Phospholipase C beta (PLC-beta)-coupled G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) activities traditionally are assessed by measuring Ca2+ triggered by D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), a PLC-beta hydrolysis product, or by measuring the production of inositol phosphate using cumbersome radioactive assays. A specific detection of IP3 production was also established using IP3 binding proteins. The short lifetime of IP3 makes this detection very challenging in measuring GPCR responses. Indeed, this IP3 rapidly enters the metabolic inositol phosphate cascade. It has been known for decades that lithium chloride (LiCl) leads to D-myo-inositol 1-phosphate accumulation on GPCR activation by inhibiting inositol monophosphatase, the final enzyme of the IP3 metabolic cascade. We show here that IP1 can be used as a surrogate of IP3 to monitor GPCR activation. We developed a novel homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) assay that correlates perfectly with existing methods and is easily amenable to high-throughput screening. The IP-One assay was validated on various GPCR models. It has the advantage over the traditional Ca2+ assay of allowing the measurement of inverse agonist activity as well as the analysis of PLC-beta activity in any nontransfected primary cultures. Finally, the high assay specificity for D-myo-inositol 1 monophosphate (IP1(1)) opens new possibilities in developing selective assays to study the functional roles of the various isoforms of inositol phosphates.

Abstract
Phospholipase C (PLC) catalyzes the hydrolysis of PtdIns(4,5)P2, which results in both formation of the second messengers Ins(1,4,5)P3 and diacylglycerol and alteration in the membrane association and/or activity of PtdIns(4,5)P2-binding proteins. The existence of 13 different PLC isozymes suggests multiple mechanisms of regulation of inositol lipid signaling, and the recent realization that Rho-family GTPases directly bind and activate certain PLC isozymes has added to this potential diversity of inositol lipid-related signal transduction. With the goal of delineating a less labor-intensive method for quantification of intracellular inositol phosphate production, we have applied a commercially available yttrium silicate RNA binding resin selective for inositol phosphates to develop a high-throughput inositol phosphate scintillation proximity assay (SPA). We highlight the utility of this assay using COS-7 cells robotically transfected in a 96-well format. This method is readily applied to quantify activation of PLC by receptors and G proteins, and we illustrate here the selective activation of PLC-beta2 by Rac but not by Rho GTPases and the selective activation of PLC-epsilon by Rho but not Rac GTPases.
