  1. Dilute rhADAM9 to 40 µg/mL in Assay Buffer.
  2. Dilute substrate to 20 µM in Assay Buffer.
  3. Combine equal volumes of 40 µg/mL rhADAM9 and 20 µM substrate. Include a control containing Assay Buffer and 20 µM substrate without any rhADAM9.
  4. Incubate reactions at 37 °C for 30 minutes.
  5. Load 100 μL of reactions and control per well in a black plate.
  6. Read with excitation and emission wavelengths of 320 nm and 405 nm (top read), respectively, in endpoint mode.
  7. Calculate specific activity:

  Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) = (Adjusted Fluorescence* (RFU) x Conversion Factor** (pmol/RFU)) / (Incubation time (min) x amount of enzyme (µg))

  *Adjusted for Control
  **Derived using calibration standard MCA-Pro-Leu-OH (Bachem, Catalog # M-1975).

  Per Well:

Background

ADAM9, also known as MDC9 or meltrin gamma, is a member of the ADAM family that contains a disintegrin and metalloprotease‑like domain (1). Like other membrane-anchored ADAMs, ADAM9 consists of a pro domain with a cysteine switch and furin cleavage sequence, a catalytic domain with the zinc‑binding site and Met-turn expected for reprolysins, a disintegrin-like domain, a cysteine-rich domain, an EGF-like domain, a transmembrane domain, and the cytoplasmic domain. ADAM9 is able to cleave peptides corresponding to cleavage sites of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha ), the p75 TNF receptor, the beta -amyloid protein precursor, and the c‑kit ligand-1, implying that it may participate in shedding of these membrane proteins (2). In fact, ADAM9 has been shown to shed membrane‑anchored heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (3). In addition, it also cleaves oxidized insulin beta -chain and fibronectin (2,4). Besides its catalytic activity, ADAM9 functions as an adhesion molecule through binding of its disintegrin domain to integrins such as alpha _v beta ₅ and alpha ₆ beta ₁ (5, 6). The cytoplasmic domain of ADAM9 interacts with Src homology 3
(SH3)‑containing proteins and protein kinase C, and may mediate different signaling pathways (3, 7). ADAM9 is widely expressed in tissues (8).
